Logical Entropy of Fuzzy Dynamical Systems

  • Dagmar Markechová and
  • Beloslav Riečan

23 April 2016

Recently the logical entropy was suggested by D. Ellerman (2013) as a new information measure. The present paper deals with studying logical entropy and logical mutual information and their properties in a fuzzy probability space. In particular, chai...

An Evolutionary Game Theoretic Approach to Multi-Sector Coordination and Self-Organization

  • Fernando P. Santos,
  • Sara Encarnação,
  • Francisco C. Santos,
  • Juval Portugali and
  • Jorge M. Pacheco

20 April 2016

Coordination games provide ubiquitous interaction paradigms to frame human behavioral features, such as information transmission, conventions and languages as well as socio-economic processes and institutions. By using a dynamical approach, such as E...

Interference Energy Spectrum of the Infinite Square Well

  • Mordecai Waegell,
  • Yakir Aharonov and
  • Taylor Lee Patti

19 April 2016

Certain superposition states of the 1-D infinite square well have transient zeros at locations other than the nodes of the eigenstates that comprise them. It is shown that if an infinite potential barrier is suddenly raised at some or all of these ze...

On the Approximate Solutions of Local Fractional Differential Equations with Local Fractional Operators

  • Hossein Jafari,
  • Hassan Kamil Jassim,
  • Fairouz Tchier and
  • Dumitru Baleanu

19 April 2016

In this paper, we consider the local fractional decomposition method, variational iteration method, and differential transform method for analytic treatment of linear and nonlinear local fractional differential equations, homogeneous or nonhomogeneou...
