Some remarks on Vainikko integral operators in BV type spaces

AbstractIn this paper we study Vainikko integral operators which are similar to so-called cordial integral operators and contain the classical Hardy operator, the Schur operator, and the Hilbert transform as special cases. For such operators we obtain norm estimates and equalities, mainly in BV type spaces in the sense of Jordan, Wiener, Riesz, and Waterman. Several examples are also discussed

Consonant Random Sets: Structure and Properties

Abstract. In this paper, we investigate consonant random sets from the point of view of lattice theory. We introduce a new definition of consonancy and study its relationship with possibility measures as upper probabilities. This allows us to improve a number of results from the literature. Finally, we study the suitability of consonant random sets as models of the imprecise observation of random variables

Advances and Applications of Dezert-Smarandache Theory (DSmT) for Information Fusion (Collected works), Vol. 2

This second volume dedicated to Dezert-Smarandache Theory (DSmT) in Information Fusion brings in new fusion quantitative rules (such as the PCR1-6, where PCR5 for two sources does the most mathematically exact redistribution of conflicting masses to the non-empty sets in the fusion literature), qualitative fusion rules, and the Belief Conditioning Rule (BCR) which is different from the classical conditioning rule used by the fusion community working with the Mathematical Theory of Evidence. Other fusion rules are constructed based on T-norm and T-conorm (hence using fuzzy logic and fuzzy set in information fusion), or more general fusion rules based on N-norm and N-conorm (hence using neutrosophic logic and neutrosophic set in information fusion), and an attempt to unify the fusion rules and fusion theories. The known fusion rules are extended from the power set to the hyper-power set and comparison between rules are made on many examples. One defines the degree of intersection of two sets, degree of union of two sets, and degree of inclusion of two sets which all help in improving the all existing fusion rules as well as the credibility, plausibility, and communality functions.
