NEUTROSOPHIC LOGIC, WAVE MECHANICS, AND OTHER STORIES
There is beginning for anything; we used to hear that phrase. The same wisdom word applies to the authors too. What began in 2005 as a short email on some ideas related to interpretation of the Wave Mechanics results in a number of papers and books up to now. Some of these papers can be found in Progress in Physics or elsewhere.
It is often recognized that when a mathematician meets a physics-inclined mind then the result is either a series of endless debates or publication. In this story, authors preferred to publish rather than perish.
Therefore, the purpose with this book is to present a selection of published papers in a compilation which enable the readers to find some coherent ideas which appear in those articles. For this reason, the ordering of the papers here is based on categories of ideas
Time series prediction by perturbed fuzzy model
This paper presents a fuzzy system
approach to the prediction of nonlinear
time series and dynamical systems based
on a fuzzy model that includes its
derivative information. The underlying
mechanism governing the time series,
expressed as a set of IF–THEN rules, is
discovered by a modified structure of fuzzy
system in order to capture the temporal
series and its temporal derivative information.
The task of predicting the future is
carried out by a fuzzy predictor on the
basis of the extracted rules and by the
Taylor ODE solver method. We have
applied the approach to the benchmark
Mackey-Glass chaotic time series.This work was supported by the Portuguese Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) under grant POSI/SRI/41975/2001
Interval Neutrosophic Sets and Logic: Theory and Applications in Computing
A neutrosophic set is a part of neutrosophy that studies the origin, nature, and scope of neutralities, as well as their interactions with different ideational spectra. The neutrosophic set is a powerful general formal framework that has been recently proposed. However, the neutrosophic set needs to be specified from a technical point of view. Here, we define the set-theoretic operators on an instance of a neutrosophic set, and call it an Interval Neutrosophic Set (INS). We prove various properties of INS, which are connected to operations and relations over INS. We also introduce a new logic system based on interval neutrosophic sets. We study the interval neutrosophic propositional calculus and interval neutrosophic predicate calculus. We also create a neutrosophic logic inference system based on interval neutrosophic logic. Under the framework of the interval neutrosophic set, we propose a data model based on the special case of the interval neutrosophic sets called Neutrosophic Data Model. This data model is the extension of fuzzy data model and paraconsistent data model. We generalize the set-theoretic operators and relation-theoretic operators of fuzzy relations and paraconsistent relations to neutrosophic relations. We propose the generalized SQL query constructs and tuple-relational calculus for Neutrosophic Data Model. We also design an architecture of Semantic Web Services agent based on the interval neutrosophic logic and do the simulation study
The deformation quantizations of the hyperbolic plane
We describe the space of (all) invariant deformation quantizations on the
hyperbolic plane as solutions of the evolution of a second order hyperbolic
differential operator. The construction is entirely explicit and relies on
non-commutative harmonic analytical techniques on symplectic symmetric spaces.
The present work presents a unified method producing every quantization of the
hyperbolic plane, and provides, in the 2-dimensional context, an exact solution
to Weinstein's WKB quantization program within geometric terms. The
construction reveals the existence of a metric of Lorentz signature canonically
attached (or `dual') to the geometry of the hyperbolic plane through the
quantization process.Comment: 26 pages, 5 figure

3D Spectrophotometry of Planetary Nebulae in the Bulge of M31
We introduce crowded field integral field (3D) spectrophotometry as a useful
technique for the study of resolved stellar populations in nearby galaxies. As
a methodological test, we present a pilot study with selected extragalactic
planetary nebulae (XPN) in the bulge of M31, demonstrating how 3D spectroscopy
is able to improve the limited accuracy of background subtraction which one
would normally obtain with classical slit spectroscopy. It is shown that due to
the absence of slit effects, 3D is a most suitable technique for
spectrophometry. We present spectra and line intensities for 5 XPN in M31,
obtained with the MPFS instrument at the Russian 6m BTA, INTEGRAL at the WHT,
and with PMAS at the Calar Alto 3.5m Telescope. Using 3D spectra of bright
standard stars, we demonstrate that the PSF is sampled with high accuracy,
providing a centroiding precision at the milli-arcsec level. Crowded field 3D
spectrophotometry and the use of PSF fitting techniques is suggested as the
method of choice for a number of similar observational problems, including
luminous stars in nearby galaxies, supernovae, QSO host galaxies,
gravitationally lensed QSOs, and others.Comment: (1) Astrophysikalisches Institut Potsdam, (2) University of Durham.
