Abstract:We shall present new oscillation criteria of second order nonlinear difference equations with a non-positive neutral term of the form \(\Delta(a(t)(\Delta(x(t)-p(t)x(t-k)))^{\gamma})+q(t)x^{\beta}(t+1-m)=0,\) with positive coefficients. Examples are given to illustrate the main results.

Ontology Similarity Computing Based on Stochastic Primal Dual Coordinate Technique

OMS-Vol. 2 (2018), Issue 1, pp. 221–227 Open Access Full-Text PDF
Guoshun Liu, Zhiyang Jia, Wei Gao
Abstract:With the extensive application of ontology in the fields of information retrieval and artificial intelligence, the ontology-based conceptual similarity calculation becomes a hot topic in ontology research. The essence of ontology learning is to obtain the ontology function through the learning of ontology samples, so as to map the vertices in each ontology graph into real numbers, and finally determine the similarity between corresponding concepts by the difference between real numbers. The essence of ontology mapping is to calculate concepts from different ontologies. In this paper, we introduce new ontology similarity computing in view of stochastic primal dual coordinate method, and two experiments show the effectiveness of our proposed ontology algorithm.

Flip and Hopf Bifurcations of Discrete-Time Fitzhugh-Nagumo Model

OMS-Vol. 2 (2018), Issue 1, pp. 209–220 Open Access Full-Text PDF
Qamar Din, Sadaf Khaliq
Abstract:In this paper, dynamics of a two-dimensional Fitzhugh-Nagumo model is discussed. The discrete-time model is obtained with the implementation of forward Euler’s scheme. We present the parametric conditions for local asymptotic stability of steady-states. It is shown that the two-dimensional discrete-time model undergoes period-doubling bifurcation and Neimark-Sacker bifurcation at its positive steady-state. Furthermore, in order to illustrate theoretical discussion some interesting numerical examples are presented.

Block Digraph of a Directed Graph

OMS-Vol. 2 (2018), Issue 1, pp. 202–208 Open Access Full-Text PDF
H. M. Nagesh, M. C. Mahesh Kumar
Abstract:Let \(D\) be a connected digraph of order \(n\); \((n \geq 3)\) and let \(B(D)=\{B_1,B_2,\ldots,B_N\}\) be a set of blocks of \(D\). The block digraph \(Q=\mathbb{B}(D)\) has vertex set \(V(Q)=B(D)\) and arc set \(A(Q)=B_iB_j\) and \(B_i,B_j \in V(Q),\) \(B_i,B_j\) have a cut-vertex of \(D\) in common and every vertex of \(B_j\) is reachable from every other vertex of \(B_i\) We study the properties of \(\mathbb{B}(D)\) and present the characterization of digraphs whose \(\mathbb{B}(D)\) are planar; outerplanar; maximal outerplanar; minimally nonouterplanar; Eulerian; and Hamiltonian.

Fuzzy Integral Domains and Fuzzy Regular Sequences

OMS-Vol. 2 (2018), Issue 1, pp. 179–201 Open Access Full-Text PDF
Saba Ayub, Waqas Mahmood
Abstract:In this paper, the notions of fuzzy zero-divisors and fuzzy integral domains are illustrated. Some fundamental properties of fuzzy integral domains are proved. Moreover, the notions of fuzzy regular element and fuzzy regular sequences are defined. It is shown that any permutation (resp. any positive integral power) of a fuzzy regular sequence is again a fuzzy regular sequence. At the end, fuzzy regular sequences of two fuzzy submodules are related with the help of fuzzy short exact sequences.

An Intuitionistic Approach for One-shot Decision Making

OMS-Vol. 2 (2018), Issue 1, pp. 164–178 Open Access Full-Text PDF
Aamir Mahboob, Tabasam Rashid, Wojciech Salabun
Abstract:In 1965, L.A Zadeh inaugurated the idea of fuzzy set theory by extrapolating classical set theory. Later, Atanassov popularized it as an intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) more precisely than the fuzzy logic theory in 1983. IFS is highly fruitful in expounding uncertain situations which we face in decision making. In this paper, we have reexamined the idea of IFS and suggested the applications in decision making methods. Moreover, this theory helps us find the solution of one-shot decision (OSD) problems we mostly face in trade and economics, and the behavior of the decision person and assists them to get the best answer.

Secure Domination in Lict Graphs

OMS-Vol. 2 (2018), Issue 1, pp. 134–145 | Open Access Full-Text PDF
Girish V. Rajasekharaiah, Usha P. Murthy
Abstract:For any graph \(G=(V,E)\), lict graph \(\eta(G)\) of a graph \(G\) is the graph whose vertex set is the union of the set of edges and the set of cut-vertices of \(G\) in which two vertices are adjacent if and only if the corresponding edges are adjacent or the corresponding members of \(G\) are incident. A secure lict dominating set of a graph \(\eta(G)\) , is a dominating set \(F \subseteq V(\eta(G))\) with the property that for each \(v_{1} \in (V(\eta(G))-F)\), there exists \(v_{2} \in F\) adjacent to \(v_{1}\) such that \((F-\lbrace v_{2}\rbrace) \cup \lbrace v_{1} \rbrace\) is a dominating set of \(\eta(G)\). The secure lict dominating number \(\gamma_{se}(\eta(G))\) of \(G\) is a minimum cardinality of a secure lict dominating set of \(G\). In this paper many bounds on \(\gamma_{se}(\eta(G))\) are obtained and its exact values for some standard graphs are found in terms of parameters of \(G\). Also its relationship with other domination parameters is investigated.
