Hex-derived networks, made up of hexagonal mesh networks, have wide applications in the fields of technology, pharmacy and physical sciences. In this research work, we focus on different hex-derived networks of the third type of dimension n and their subdivisions. The Nirmala indices (such as the Nirmala index, the first inverse Nirmala index and the second inverse Nirmala index) are newly introduced degree-based topological indices. Here, we compute the values of these Nirmala indices for the above networks under consideration by operating their standard mathematical formulas and the M-polynomial based method. In addition, we plot the Nirmala indices of the networks and their subdivisions in different dimensions for the purpose of comparative studies among them. The results acquired are helpful in demonstrating the structural properties of considered hex-derived networks and their subdivisions. Also, it may influence the researchers for comparative based studies of the structure and their subdivisions in the sense of the Nirmala indices.","PeriodicalId":394919,"journal":{"name":"Sci. Ann.

We propose shrinkage estimators for linear regression models which explicitly take into account the presence of the intercept term, shrinking it independently from other coefficients. This is different from current shrinkage estimators, which treat the intercept just as an ordinary regression coefficient. We demonstrate that the proposed approach brings systematic improvements in prediction accuracy if the true intercept term differs in magnitude from other coefficients, which is often the case in practice. We then generalize the approach to uplift regression which aims to predict the causal effect of a specific action on an individual with given characteristics. In this case the proposed estimators improve prediction accuracy over previously proposed shrinkage estimators and achieve impressive performance gains over original models.","PeriodicalId":394919,"journal":{"name":"Sci.

We give polynomial time algorithms deciding finiteness of an AFA’s tree width and maximal universal width. Also we give a polynomial time algorithm that for an AFA A with finite maximal universal width decides whether or not the maximal existential width of A is finite. Finiteness of maximal existential width is decidable in the general case but the algorithm uses exponential time.

In this paper, we take one such majority operation, which corresponds to a maximal centralizing monoid, on a 3-element set and obtain its generalization, called mb , on a k-element set for any k >= 3. We explicitly describe the centralizing monoid M(mb ) with mb as its witness and then prove that it is not maximal if k > 3, contrary to the case for k = 3.","PeriodicalId":394919,"journal":{"name":"Sci.

L(R) is a bounded distributive algebra whose main property is that the Zariski prime spectrum Spec(R) of R and the Stone prime spectrum SpecId (L(R)) of L(R) are homeomorphic. The construction of the lattice L(R) was generalized by Belluce for each unital ring R and the reticulation was defined by axioms. In a recent paper we generalized the Belluce construction for algebras in a semidegenerate congruence-modular variety V. For any algebra A ∈ V we defined a bounded distributive lattice L(A), but in general the prime spectrum Spec(A) of A is not homeomorphic with the prime spectrum SpecId (L(A)). We introduced the quasi-commutative algebras in the variety V (as a generalization of Belluce’s quasi-commutative rings) and proved that for any algebra A ∈ V, the spectra Spec(A) and SpecId (L(A)) are homeomorphic. In this paper we define the reticulation A ∈ V by four axioms and prove that any two reticulations of A are isomorphic lattices. By using the uniqueness of reticulation and other results from the mentioned paper, we obtain a characterization theorem for the algebras A ∈ V that admit a reticulation: A is quasi-commutative if and only if A admits a reticulation. This result is a universal algebra generalization of the following Belluce theorem: a ring R is quasi-commutative if and only if R admits a reticulation. Another subject treated in this paper is the spectral closure of the prime spectrum Spec(A) of an algebra A ∈ V, a notion that generalizes the Belluce spectral closure of the prime spectrum of a ring.","PeriodicalId":394919,"journal":{"name":"Sci.

The success of the SR approaches is often related to a well registration and restoration steps. Therefore, we propose a new approach based on fluid image registration and we use a second order partial differential equation (PDE) to treat both the registration and restoration steps that guarantees the success of SR algorithms. Since the registration step is usually a variational ill-posed model, a mathematical study is needed to check the existence of the solution to the regularized problem. Thus, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the well posed fluid image registration and assure also the existence of the used second order PDE in the restoration step. The results show that the proposed method is competitive with the existing methods.","PeriodicalId":394919,"journal":{"name":"Sci. Ann. Comput.
