A survey on fuzzy fractional differential and optimal control nonlocal evolution equations
We survey some representative results on fuzzy fractional differential
equations, controllability, approximate controllability, optimal control, and
optimal feedback control for several different kinds of fractional evolution
equations. Optimality and relaxation of multiple control problems, described by
nonlinear fractional differential equations with nonlocal control conditions in
Banach spaces, are considered.Comment: This is a preprint of a paper whose final and definite form is with

Fuzzy Geometry of Phase Space and Quantization of Massive Fields
The quantum space-time and the phase space with fuzzy structure is
investigated as the possible quantization formalism. In this theory the state
of nonrelativistic particle corresponds to the element of fuzzy ordered set
(Foset) - fuzzy point. Due to Foset partial (weak) ordering, particle's space
coordinate x acquires principal uncertainty dx. It's shown that Shroedinger
formalism of Quantum Mechanics can be completely derived from consideration of
particle evolution in fuzzy phase space with minimal number of axioms.Comment: 13 pages, Talk given at QFEXT07 Workshop, Leipzig, Sept. 200
Review of modern numerical methods for a simple vanilla option pricing problem
Option pricing is a very attractive issue of financial engineering and optimization. The problem of determining the fair price of an option arises from the assumptions made under a given financial market model. The increasing complexity of these market assumptions contributes to the popularity of the numerical treatment of option valuation. Therefore, the pricing and hedging of plain vanilla options under the Black–Scholes model usually serve as a bench-mark for the development of new numerical pricing approaches and methods designed for advanced option pricing models. The objective of the paper is to present and compare the methodological concepts for the valuation of simple vanilla options using the relatively modern numerical techniques in this issue which arise from the discontinuous Galerkin method, the wavelet approach and the fuzzy transform technique. A theoretical comparison is accompanied by an empirical study based on the numerical verification of simple vanilla option prices. The resulting numerical schemes represent a particularly effective option pricing tool that enables some features of options that are depend-ent on the discretization of the computational domain as well as the order of the polynomial approximation to be captured better

The management of intelligence-assisted finite element analysis technology
Artificial Intelligence (AI) approaches to Finite Element Analysis (FEA), have had tentative degrees of success over the last few years and some authors have argued that effective FEA can help in the manufacture reliability and safety aspects of engineered artefacts. The author of this paper reviews how such AI techniques have been applied and in this light, the author then uses a Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping (FCM), to develop a framework for the management of intelligence-assisted FEA
Rigorous treatment of electrostatics for spatially varying dielectrics based on energy minimization
A novel energy minimization formulation of electrostatics that allows
computation of the electrostatic energy and forces to any desired accuracy in a
system with arbitrary dielectric properties is presented. An integral equation
for the scalar charge density is derived from an energy functional of the
polarization vector field. This energy functional represents the true energy of
the system even in non-equilibrium states. Arbitrary accuracy is achieved by
solving the integral equation for the charge density via a series expansion in
terms of the equation's kernel, which depends only on the geometry of the
dielectrics. The streamlined formalism operates with volume charge
distributions only, not resorting to introducing surface charges by hand.
Therefore, it can be applied to any spatial variation of the dielectric
susceptibility, which is of particular importance in applications to
biomolecular systems. The simplicity of application of the formalism to real
problems is shown with analytical and numerical examples.Comment: 27 pages, 5 figure
