Associative polynomial functions over bounded distributive lattices
The associativity property, usually defined for binary functions, can be
generalized to functions of a given fixed arity n>=1 as well as to functions of
multiple arities. In this paper, we investigate these two generalizations in
the case of polynomial functions over bounded distributive lattices and present
explicit descriptions of the corresponding associative functions. We also show
that, in this case, both generalizations of associativity are essentially the
same.Comment: Final versio
Preassociative aggregation functions
The classical property of associativity is very often considered in
aggregation function theory and fuzzy logic. In this paper we provide
axiomatizations of various classes of preassociative functions, where
preassociativity is a generalization of associativity recently introduced by
the authors. These axiomatizations are based on existing characterizations of
some noteworthy classes of associative operations, such as the class of
Acz\'elian semigroups and the class of t-norms.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1309.730
Closed classes of functions, generalized constraints and clusters
Classes of functions of several variables on arbitrary non-empty domains that
are closed under permutation of variables and addition of dummy variables are
characterized in terms of generalized constraints, and hereby Hellerstein's
Galois theory of functions and generalized constraints is extended to infinite
domains. Furthermore, classes of operations on arbitrary non-empty domains that
are closed under permutation of variables, addition of dummy variables and
composition are characterized in terms of clusters, and a Galois connection is
established between operations and clusters.Comment: 21 page
Additive decomposability of functions over abelian groups
Abelian groups are classified by the existence of certain additive
decompositions of group-valued functions of several variables with arity gap 2.Comment: 17 page
Towards a new method to analyze the soccer teams tactical behaviour : measuring the effective area of play
Recently, new tactical metrics have been developed to increase the match analysisâ potential. Naturally, innovate metrics need some
updates in order to improve the utility to the soccer coaches. Thus, this paper aims to update the surface area metric, proposing the effective area of play given some efficacy informationâs about team playersâ positioning. Furthermore, aim analyzes the effective area of play
of each team depending on the state of ball possession and a full match of 7-a-side soccer game in the district final was also analysed.
Results showed an inverse correlation between teamsâ opposite effective areas of play(rp
= -0.681), suggesting the expansion-contraction
relationship. Furthermore, was analyzed statistical differences with large effect between the moments with and without ball possession
for the team A (F(1; 1506) = 1343.893; p-value †0.001; η2
= 0.472; Power = 1.000) and B (F(1; 1506) = 968.500; p-value †0.001; η2
= 0.391;
Power = 1.000).info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Soccer teams behaviors : analysis if the team distribution in function to ball possession
Innovative tools to soccer analysis are the main concern of the sport performance analysts. Considering
team players occupation as one of the fundamental characteristics of soccer success, is too important generate new
systems to interpret the post-match reality. These systems must be easy for the coach's applications. Thus, this study
proposes an easy tool to understand the teamâs collective behaviour in function to their ball possession status.
Through the histograms of all team players will be possible understand the most occupied areas by each team, trying
understand possible tendencies in the moments with and without ball possession. Were analyzed two teams during
an official soccer match, collecting their positions at each instant. Using this tracking was possible perform two heat
maps by each team, representing the moments with and without ball possession. Through this method was possible
analyze different collective behaviors and explain how could coaches interpret outcomes.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Dynamical Stability and Predictability of Football Players: The Study of One Match
The game of football demands new computational approaches to measure individual and collective performance. Understanding the phenomena involved in the game may foster the identification of strengths and weaknesses, not only of each player, but also of the whole team. The development of assertive quantitative methodologies constitutes a key element in sports training. In football, the predictability and stability inherent in the motion of a given player may be seen as one of the most important concepts to fully characterise the variability of the whole team. This paper characterises the predictability and stability levels of players during an official football match. A Fractional Calculus (FC) approach to define a playerâs trajectory. By applying FC, one can benefit from newly considered modeling perspectives, such as the fractional coefficient, to estimate a playerâs predictability and stability. This paper also formulates the concept of attraction domain, related to the tactical region of each player, inspired by stability theory principles. To compare the variability inherent in the playerâs process variables (e.g., distance covered) and to assess his predictability and stability, entropy measures are considered. Experimental results suggest that the most predictable player is the goalkeeper while, conversely, the most unpredictable players are the midfielders. We also conclude that, despite his predictability, the goalkeeper is the most unstable player, while lateral defenders are the most stable during the match
Hybrid adaptive control of a dragonfly model
Dragonflies show unique and superior flight performances than most of other insect species
and birds. They are equipped with two pairs of independently controlled wings granting
an unmatchable flying performance and robustness.
In this paper, it is presented an adaptive scheme controlling a nonlinear model inspired
in a dragonfly-like robot. It is proposed a hybrid adaptive (HA) law for adjusting the parameters
analyzing the tracking error. At the current stage of the project it is considered essential
the development of computational simulation models based in the dynamics to test
whether strategies or algorithms of control, parts of the system (such as different wing
configurations, tail) as well as the complete system. The performance analysis proves the
superiority of the HA law over the direct adaptive (DA) method in terms of faster and
improved tracking and parameter convergence
Application of fractional algorithms in the control of a robotic bird
In this paper, it is studied the dynamics of the robotic bird in terms of time response and robustness. It is analyzed the wing angle of attack and the velocity of the bird, the tail influence, the gliding flight and the flapping flight. The results are positive for the construction of flying robots. The development of computational simulation based on the dynamic of the robotic bird should allow testing strategies and different algorithms of control such as integer and fractional controllers
