Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is devoted to the study of algebraic systems with applications to real-world problems. The existence, uniqueness, and non-uniqueness of solutions are important topics for investigations. Numerical methods for approximating the solutions will be considered with priority. Of course, fixed point theorems and iterative methods are essential tools in these studies. In particular, special attention will be paid to systems with positive coefficients and positive solutions. It is known that such systems appear in several applications and we will be interested in enlarging the list of these applications.

In our intention, this Special Issue should report new results on algebraic systems and their applications to various fields of natural sciences and engineering, as well as facilitate interactions among researchers, discuss important research problems and directions, and promote these methods in various research areas. We look forward to receiving and editorially processing your contributions to this Special Issue.

With kind regards and thanks in advance for your contributions.

The aim of the present work is a comparative study of different persistence kernels applied to various classification problems. After some necessary preliminaries on homology and persistence diagrams, we introduce five different kernels that are then used to compare their performances of classification on various datasets. We also provide the Python codes for the reproducibility of results and, thanks to the symmetry of kernels, we can reduce the computational costs of the Gram matrices. Full article

This study delves into the structure and properties of left inverse zero divisor bands within semigroups, identifying their maximal forms and broadening the theoretical landscape of semigroup analysis. A significant focus is placed on the automorphisms of a semigroup S of centralizers of idempotent transformations with restricted range, revealing that these automorphisms are inner ones and induced by the units of S. Additionally, we establish that the automorphism group Aut(S) is isomorphic to US, the group of units of S. These findings extend previous results on semigroups of transformations, enhancing their applicability and providing a more unified theory. The practical implications of this work span multiple fields, including automata theory, coding theory, cryptography, and graph theory, offering tools for more efficient algorithms and models. By simplifying complex concepts and providing a solid foundation for future research, this study makes significant contributions to both theoretical and applied mathematics. Full article

Singular singularly-perturbed problems (SSPPs) are a powerful mathematical tool for modelling a variety of real phenomena, such as nuclear reactions, heat explosions, mechanics, and hydrodynamics. In this paper, the numerical solutions to fourth-order singular singularly-perturbed boundary and initial value problems are presented using a novel quintic B-spline (QBS) approximation approach. This method uses a quasi-linearization approach to solve SSPNL initial/boundary value problems. And the non-linear problems are transformed into a sequence of linear problems by applying the quasi-linearization approach. The QBS functions produce more accurate results when compared to other existing approaches because of their local support, symmetry, and partition of unity features. This method can be applied to immediately solve the SSPPs without reducing the order in which they are presented. It has been demonstrated that the suggested numerical approach converges uniformly over the whole domain. The proposed approach is implemented on a few problems to validate the scheme. The computational results are compared, and they illustrate that the proposed approach performs better. Full article

P-sets (P stands for Packet), a set pair with dynamic and law characteristics, are made up of an internal and an outer P-set, which is obtained by introducing dynamic characteristics into the Cantor set and improving the Cantor set. The concepts of αF-sub-information, αF¯-sub-information, and (αF,αF¯)-sub-information are presented in this paper based on P-sets, and it is then suggested that the relationship between the generation of sub-information and its attribute, the process of attribute reasoning, reasoning structure, and sub-information intelligent separation-acquisition be explored. These findings were used to design a sub-information intelligent separation-identification algorithm. By using these results, the application of intelligent separation and the identification of case information are given. Full article
