Abstract: The concept of q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets generalizes the notions of intuitionistic fuzzy sets and Pythagorean fuzzy sets to describe complicated uncertain information more effectively. Their most dominant attribute is that the sum of the \(q^{th}\) power of the truth-membership and the \(q^{th}\) power of the falsity-membership must be equal to or less than one, so they can broaden the space of uncertain data. This set can adjust the range of indication of decision data by changing the parameter \(q, ~q\geq 1\). In this paper, we define the Hamacher operations of q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets and proved some desirable properties of these operations, such as commutativity, idempotency, and monotonicity. Further, we proved De Morgan’s laws for these operations over complement. Furthermore, we defined the Hamacher scalar multiplication \(({n._{h}}A)\) and Hamacher exponentiation \((A^{\wedge_{h}n})\) operations on q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets and investigated their algebraic properties. Finally, we defined the necessity and possibility operators based on q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets and some properties of Hamacher operations that are considered.

Abstract: In this paper we prove that the dominator chromatic number of every oriented tree is invariant under reversal of orientation. In addition to this marquee result, we also prove the exact dominator chromatic number for arborescences and anti-arborescences as well as bounds on other orientations of oft studied tree topologies including generalized stars and caterpillars.

Abstract: This paper presents the variation of radiofrequencies intensities from the DTTV-transmitter in Kampala Metropolitan for the sub 700 MHz (470-694 MHz) and the 700 MHz (694-790 MHz) frequency bands. The results of this study showed that though all the measurement locations from the transmitter have a good reception of DTTV signals, their radiofrequency intensities varied at the different points on the same measurement location at a constant distance from the DTTV transmitter. The study further showed that there is a general decrease in the radiofrequency intensities for the sub 700 MHz frequency band and a slight general increase in the radiofrequency intensities for the 700 MHz frequency band. This research revealed that the measured Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) values for all the measurement locations where within the IEEE and FCC recommended values for any DTTV signal reception.
A variety of uncertainty principles for the Hankel-Stockwell transform

Abstract: In this work, we establish \(L^p\) local uncertainty principle for the Hankel-Stockwell transform and we deduce \(L^p\) version of Heisenberg-Pauli-Weyl uncertainty principle. Next, By combining these principles and the techniques of Donoho-Stark we present uncertainty principles of concentration type in the \(L^p\) theory, when \(1\)<\(p\leqslant2\). Finally, Pitt's inequality and Beckner's uncertainty principle are proved for this transform.
Convergence analysis for a fast class of multi-step Chebyshev-Halley-type methods under weak conditions

Abstract: In this study a convergence analysis for a fast multi-step Chebyshe-Halley-type method for solving nonlinear equations involving Banach space valued operator is presented. We introduce a more precise convergence region containing the iterates leading to tighter Lipschitz constants and functions. This way advantages are obtained in both the local as well as the semi-local convergence case under the same computational cost such as: extended convergence domain, tighter error bounds on the distances involved and a more precise information on the location of the solution. The new technique can be used to extend the applicability of other iterative methods. The numerical examples further validate the theoretical results.

Abstract: Banana is a commercially and nutritionally important food crop worldwide and is affected by several fungal diseases. The most important post-harvest disease is fruit rotting. Fruit rot is responsible for significant losses in banana. The present study was therefore, designed to isolate and explore the mycoflora associated with banana fruit rot. For this, infected samples were grown on different media to obtain pure cultures of isolated fungal pathogens. Identifications were made initially on morphological basis and then confirmed by genetic analysis. A comprehensive study of micro and macroscopic features revealed four Aspergillus species with two of Aspergillus fumigatus, one of Aspergillus flavus and one of Aspergillus niger. Genetic analysis by Nucleotide sequence analysis of ITS region of rDNA was performed. The sequence alignment of two different isolates of Aspergillus fumigatus showed 99% homology to different strains deposited in Genbank i.e., 004(KU321562.1), SK1(KM207771.1), and 98% homology to AHBR16(KF305755.1), SF8(KX011021.1).
