Minimal predictors in hat problems

Christopher S. Hardin, Alan D. Taylor (2010)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We consider a combinatorial problem related to guessing the values of a function at various points based on its values at certain other points, often presented by way of a hat-problem metaphor: there are a number of players who will have colored hats placed on their heads, and they wish to guess the colors of their own hats. A visibility relation specifies who can see which hats. This paper focuses on the existence of minimal predictors: strategies guaranteeing at least one player guesses correctly,...

Minimality of non-σ-scattered orders

Tetsuya Ishiu, Justin Tatch Moore (2009)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We will characterize-under appropriate axiomatic assumptions-when a linear order is minimal with respect to not being a countable union of scattered suborders. We show that, assuming PFA⁺, the only linear orders which are minimal with respect to not being σ-scattered are either Countryman types or real types. We also outline a plausible approach to demonstrating the relative consistency of: There are no minimal non-σ-scattered linear orders. In the process of establishing these results, we will...

Minimizing and maximizing a linear objective function under a fuzzy max - * relational equation and an inequality constraint

Zofia Matusiewicz (2022)

Kybernetika

This paper provides an extension of results connected with the problem of the optimization of a linear objective function subject to max - * fuzzy relational equations and an inequality constraint, where * is an operation. This research is important because the knowledge and the algorithms presented in the paper can be used in various optimization processes. Previous articles describe an important problem of minimizing a linear objective function under a fuzzy max - * relational equation and an inequality constraint,...

Mixed Levels of Indestructibility

Arthur W. Apter (2015)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Starting from a supercompact cardinal κ, we force and construct a model in which κ is both the least strongly compact and least supercompact cardinal and κ exhibits mixed levels of indestructibility. Specifically, κ 's strong compactness, but not its supercompactness, is indestructible under any κ -directed closed forcing which also adds a Cohen subset of κ. On the other hand, in this model, κ 's supercompactness is indestructible under any κ -directed closed forcing which does not add a Cohen subset...

Mixed pseudo-associativities of Bandler-Kohout compositions of relations

Jolanta Sobera (2007)

Kybernetika

This paper considers compositions of relations based on the notion of the afterset and the foreset, i. e., the subproduct, the superproduct and the square product introduced by Bandler and Kohout with modification proposed by De Baets and Kerre. There are proven all possible mixed pseudo-associativity properties of Bandler – Kohout compositions of relations.

m-normal theories

Ludomir Newelski (2001)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Originally, m-independence, ℳ -rank, m-stability and m-normality were defined only for small stable theories. Here we extend the definitions to an arbitrary small countable complete theory. Then we investigate these notions in the new, broader context. As a consequence we show that any superstable theory with < 2 countable models is m-normal. In particular, any *-algebraic group interpretable in such a theory is abelian-by-finite.

Möbius fitting aggregation operators

Anna Kolesárová (2002)

Kybernetika

Standard Möbius transform evaluation formula for the Choquet integral is associated with the 𝐦𝐢𝐧 -aggregation. However, several other aggregation operators replacing 𝐦𝐢𝐧 operator can be applied, which leads to a new construction method for aggregation operators. All binary operators applicable in this approach are characterized by the 1-Lipschitz property. Among ternary aggregation operators all 3-copulas are shown to be fitting and moreover, all fitting weighted means are characterized. This new method...

Modal Pseudocomplemented De Morgan Algebras

Aldo V. Figallo, Nora Oliva, Alicia Ziliani (2014)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

Modal pseudocomplemented De Morgan algebras (or m p M -algebras for short) are investigated in this paper. This new equational class of algebras was introduced by A. V. Figallo and P. Landini ([Figallo, A. V., Landini, P.: Notes on 4 -valued modal algebras Preprints del Instituto de Ciencias Básicas, Univ. Nac. de San Juan 1 (1990), 28–37.]) and they constitute a proper subvariety of the variety of all pseudocomplemented De Morgan algebras satisfying x ( x ) * = ( ( x ( x ) * ) ) * . Firstly, a topological duality for these algebras...
