Distributional chaotic generalized shifts
Suppose is a finite discrete space with at least two elements,
is a nonempty countable set, and consider self--map .
We prove that the generalized shift with
(for ) is:
distributional chaotic (uniform, type 1, type 2) if and only if
has at least a non-quasi-periodic point,
dense distributional chaotic if and only if
does not have any periodic point,
transitive distributional chaotic if and only if
is one--to--one without any periodic point.
We complete the text by counterexamples.Comment: 13 page

Temperature dependance of charge packet velocity in XLPE Cable peelings
The generation and transit of charge packets in 150μm thick peelings from the insulation of Medium Voltage Cables manufactured using the same XLPE batch have been investigated at a number of different temperatures. Charge packet motion was investigated in peelings taken from cables that have been electro-thermally stressed at T= 90 degrees C for 5000 hours with a Laplacian field E ≈ 20kV/mm at the location of the samples. It was found that charge packets were generated by an applied field of 120kV/mm when the internal space charge field reached 140-150kV/mm. Measurements were made in three controlled temperature environments and it was found that the transit time fitted an Arrhenius behaviour with an activation energy of ~1.2 eV. This value is similar to estimates made for the deepest traps (>1.1eV) made from the decay of space charge accumulated at lower fields of 46.67kVmm. It is also close to the activation energy for the conductivity (~1.25 eV) obtained from the dielectric spectroscopy of unpeeled cable sections at Erms ≈ 0.41 V/mm, and ~1.15eV from the dielectric spectroscopy of the peelings (E = 40V/mm). It is therefore concluded that the transit of the charge packet is associated with the trap-to-trap transport of charge carriers located in the deepest traps available. The implications of these results for the mechanism of charge packet generation is discussed
Advanced theoretical and experimental studies in automatic control and information systems
A series of research projects is briefly summarized which includes investigations in the following areas: (1) mathematical programming problems for large system and infinite-dimensional spaces, (2) bounded-input bounded-output stability, (3) non-parametric approximations, and (4) differential games. A list of reports and papers which were published over the ten year period of research is included
On Multiobjective Evolution Model
Self-Organized Criticality (SOC) phenomena could have a significant effect on
the dynamics of ecosystems. The Bak-Sneppen (BS) model is a simple and robust
model of biological evolution that exhibits punctuated equilibrium behavior.
Here we will introduce random version of BS model. Also we generalize the
single objective BS model to a multiobjective one.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure
Quantification of temporal fault trees based on fuzzy set theory
© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014. Fault tree analysis (FTA) has been modified in different ways to make it capable of performing quantitative and qualitative safety analysis with temporal gates, thereby overcoming its limitation in capturing sequential failure behaviour. However, for many systems, it is often very difficult to have exact failure rates of components due to increased complexity of systems, scarcity of necessary statistical data etc. To overcome this problem, this paper presents a methodology based on fuzzy set theory to quantify temporal fault trees. This makes the imprecision in available failure data more explicit and helps to obtain a range of most probable values for the top event probability
Stability of Resonant Opto-Mechanical Oscillators
We theoretically study the frequency stability of an opto-mechanical radio
frequency oscillator based on resonant interaction of two optical and one
mechanical modes of the same optical microcavity. A generalized expression for
the phase noise of the oscillator is derived using Langevin formalism and
compared to the phase noise of existing electronic oscillators.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figur
Strings of group endomorphisms
Recently the strings and the string number of self-maps were used in the
computation of the algebraic entropy of special group endomorphisms. We
introduce two special kinds of strings, and their relative string numbers. We
show that a dichotomy holds for all these three string numbers; in fact, they
admit only zero and infinity as values on group endomorphisms.Comment: 17 page
