A Distance Measure Based on Fuzzy D-implications: Application in Pattern Recognition

A. G. Hatzimichailidis, G. A. Papakostas & V. G. Kaburlasos · Journal of Advances in Mathematics and Computer Science · 2016

A new distance measure between fuzzy sets (FSs) based on fuzzy D-implications is introduced in this paper. The proposed measure uses a matrix representation of each set in order to encode its information, where matrix norms in conjunction with fuzzy D-implications can be applied...

Using Arabic Skeleton Morphology and Maximum Entropy for Arabic Document Classification

O. G. El-Barbary · Journal of Advances in Mathematics and Computer Science · 2016

The morphology of Arabic plays an important role of computational natural language processing systems. The rich morphology, and the complexity of word formation all contribute to making morphological approaches to Arabic very challenging. In this paper, we present a new method fo...

On Enumeration of Some Semigraphs

Prabhakar R. Hampiholi & Jotiba P. Kitturkar · Journal of Advances in Mathematics and Computer Science · 2016

A semigraph G is vertex-labeled semigraph, if its n-vertices are labeled by distinct symbols. In this paper various results on enumeration of vertex-labeled semigraphs containing non-adjacent edges and number of vertex-labeled semigraphs with two adjacent s-edges are obtained. Al...

Fractional Order SIR Model with Constant Population

Eric Okyere, Francis Tabi Oduro, Samuel Kwame Amponsah, Isaac Kwame Dontwi & Nana Kena Frempong · Journal of Advances in Mathematics and Computer Science · 2016

The main objective of this paper is to formulate an epidemiological model using fractional order derivatives which has an advantage over the classical integer order models due to its memory effect property. Our mathematical formulation of the non-integer order initial value probl...
