Cover Story: We propose a perturbation scheme to produce an asymptotic expression for displacement and tension of an inclined cable, under vertical static forces. At the various perturbation orders, it is required to solve a linear boundary value problem, representing the vertical equilibrium equation, and an algebraic equation, nonlinear just at the first order, expressing a kinematic compatibility condition. It is shown that the tension requires high order asymptotic approximations to fit numerical results.

We propose the so-called fuzzy semi-metric space in which the symmetric condition is not assumed to be satisfied. In this case, there are four kinds of triangle inequalities that should be considered. The purpose of this paper is to study the common...
