Modification of rock mass rating system:Interbedding of strong and weak rock layers

Rock mass classification systems are the very important part for underground projects and rock mass rating(RMR) is one of the most commonly applied classification systems in numerous civil and mining projects. The type of rock mass consisting of an interbedding of strong and weak layers poses difficulties and uncertainties for determining the RMR. For this, the present paper uses the concept of rock bolt supporting factor(RSF) for modification of RMR system to be used in such rock mass types. The proposed method also demonstrates the importance of rock bolting practice in such rock masses. The geological parameters of the Shemshak Formation of the Alborz Tunnel in Iran are used as case examples for development of the theoretical approach.

Strong/weak limits and strong/weak differentials of multi-variable indeterminate forms. I: Deduction and geometric illustration

Strong and weak limits as well as strong and weak differentials of multi-variable indeterminate forms are discussed based on the thorough exploration of differentiation to solve the strong and weak limits and differentials of unitary indeterminate forms.

Duality theorem for smash coproduct over quantum groupoids

The duality theorem of generalized weak smash coproducts of weak module coalgebras and comodule coalgebras over quantum groupoids is studied.Let H be a weak Hopf algebra,C a left weak H-comodule coalgebra and D a left weak H-module coalgebra.First,a weak generalized smash coproduct C×lH D over quantum groupoids is defined and the module and comodule structures on it are constructed.The weak generalized right smash coproduct C×rL D is similar.Then some isomorph-isms between them are obtained.Secondly,by introducing some concepts of a weak convolution invertible element,a weak co-inner coaction and a strongly relative co-inner coaction,a sufficient condition for C×rH D to be isomorphic to Cv D is obtained,where v∈WC（C,H）and the coaction of H on D is right strongly relative co-inner.Finally,the duality theorem for a generalized smash coproduct over quantum groupoids,（C×lH H）×lH H≌Cv（H×lH H）,is obtained.

Weak harmonic signal detection method in chaotic interference based on extended Kalman filter

The traditional methods of weak harmonic signal detection under strong chaotic interference often suffer from high computational complexity and poor performance. In this paper, an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) based detection method is proposed for the detection of weak harmonic signal. The EKF method avoids matrix inversion by iterating measurement equation and state equation, which simultaneously improves the robustness and reduces the complexity. Compared with the existing detection methods, the proposed method has the following advantages: 1) it has better performance than the neural network method;2) it has similar performance with the optimal filtering method, but with lower computational complexity;3) it is more robust compared with the optimal filtering method.

Application of local polynomial estimation in suppressing strong chaotic noise

In this paper, we propose a new method that combines chaotic series phase space reconstruction and local polynomial estimation to solve the problem of suppressing strong chaotic noise. First, chaotic noise time series are reconstructed to obtain multivariate time series according to Takens delay embedding theorem. Then the chaotic noise is estimated accurately using local polynomial estimation method. After chaotic noise is separated from observation signal, we can get the estimation of the useful signal. This local polynomial estimation method can combine the advantages of local and global law. Finally, it makes the estimation more exactly and we can calculate the formula of mean square error theoretically. The simulation results show that the method is effective for the suppression of strong chaotic noise when the signal to interference ratio is low.

In this paper, both Fritz John and Karush-Kuhn-Tucker necessary optimality conditions are established for a （weakly） LU-efficient solution in the considered nonsmooth multiobjective programming problem with the multiple interval-objective function. Further, the sufficient optimality conditions for a （weakly） LU-efficient solution and several duality results in Mond-Weir sense are proved under assumptions that the functions constituting the considered nondifferentiable multiobjective programming problem with the multiple interval- objective function are convex.

Viscosity approximation methods with weakly contractive mappings for nonexpansive mappings

Let K be a closed convex subset of a real reflexive Banach space E, T：K→K be a nonexpansive mapping, and f：K→K be a fixed weakly contractive （may not be contractive） mapping. Then for any t∈（0, 1）, let x1∈K be the unique fixed point of the weak contraction x1→tf（x）＋（1-t）Tx. If T has a fixed point and E admits a weakly sequentially continuous duality mapping from E to E^＊, then it is shown that {xt} converges to a fixed point of T as t→0. The results presented here improve and generalize the corresponding results in （Xu, 2004）.

P-kernel Normal Systems in Weakly P-inversive Semigroups

In this paper, we first give the concept of weakly P-inversive semigroup S（P）. Then we describe the strong P-congruences on S（P） in terms of their P-kernel normal systems. It is proved that there is a bijection between the strong P-congruences and the P-kernel normal systems. Finally, it is also prove that the lattice of strong P-congruences and the lattice of P-kernel normal systems on S（P） are isomorphic.

Strong Law of Large Numbers under an Upper Probability

Strong law of large numbers is a fundamental theory in probability and statistics. When the measure tool is nonadditive, this law is very different from additive case. In 2010 Chen investigated the strong law of large numbers under upper probabilityVby assumingVis continuous. This assumption is very strong. Upper probabilities may not be continuous. In this paper we prove the strong law of large numbers for an upper probability without the continuity assumption whereby random variables are quasi-continuous and the upper probability is generated by a weakly compact family of probabilities on a complete and separable metric sample space.
