The notion of fuzziness is suitable in any environment, which favor to predicts the problem and solve this problem in a decent way. As compared to crisp theory, fuzzy graphs are a more beneficial and powerful tool to get better accuracy and precision due to their fuzziness property. A topological index is a numerical value which characterizes the properties of the graph. Topological indices were basically developed for chemical structures, but these are also used for general graphs as well. In chemical graph theory, topological indices are used to extract the chemical properties of the graphs. These indices are also well studied in fuzzy environment. Applications of fuzzy graphs are found in medicines, telecommunications, traffic light control, and many more. Our aim is to find these fuzzy topological indices for flower graphs to strengthen the concepts of fuzziness in general graphs.

The proposed model efficiently depicts the possibility of fuzzy belongingness of alternatives under fuzzy parameterized bipolar parameters (or attributes). The respective operations and properties such as subset, complement, union, and intersection are presented along with their numerical illustrations. Two logical operations namely “AND” and “OR” operations followed by two corresponding MCDM algorithms have been developed and implemented. Furthermore, similarity measures between fuzzy parameterized possibility fuzzy bipolar soft sets are proposed and applied to an agricultural land selection scenario.

By passing a coolant through flow channels that are connected to the PV/T systems, the temperature of the cells is reduced to enhance their electrical efficiency. Therefore, this study aims at investigating a photovoltaic thermal system via the transport of hybrid nanofluids based on Cu-Al2O3/water. We assume that the flow channel can be considered in two dimensions and is composed of the silicon panel, absorber, and flow channel. The flow channel consists of a cavity along the absorber with a fixed length and a certain height. This will be a combined conduction and convection problem, with conduction occurring on the top two layers of the silicon panel and absorber. Modeling and simulation problems are performed using COMSOL Multiphysics 5.6. The aspect ratio from inlet height to cavity height is defined by Ar, and the volume fraction of Al2O3 is taken double that of Cu. The cell efficiency is analyzed by performing a parametric study by altering the Reynold number (100–1000), inlet temperature (50°C–450°C), the volume fraction of copper (0.01%–10%), and the aspect ratio (0.5, 0.7, 0.9, and 1). It is found that increasing the inlet temperature and aspect ratio decreases the cell efficiency while increasing the Reynolds number and volume fraction increases it. The maximum efficiency of the cell, about 6%, is achieved when the inlet temperature is 50°C, the volume fraction of copper is 10%, Re = 1000, and Ar = 0.5. It was also concluded that when the volume fraction of copper is 0.1, the increase in Reynolds number from 100 to 1000 is improving the cell efficiency by 0.5%. On the other hand, when increasing the volume fraction of copper from minimum to maximum at Re = 1000, the cell efficiency is increasing by 0.3%.","PeriodicalId":43667,"journal":{"name":"Muenster Journal of Mathematics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87951762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, the Gaussian error linear unit (GELU) activation function has emerged as a dominant method, surpassing traditional functions such as the rectified linear unit (ReLU) in various applications. This study presents a rigorous mathematical investigation of the GELU activation function, exploring its differentiability, boundedness, stationarity, and smoothness properties in detail. In addition, we conduct an extensive experimental comparison of the GELU function against a broad range of alternative activation functions, utilizing a residual convolutional network trained on the CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, and STL-10 datasets as the empirical testbed. Our results demonstrate the superior performance of GELU compared to other activation functions, establishing its suitability for a wide range of deep learning applications. This comprehensive study contributes to a more profound understanding of the underlying mathematical properties of GELU and provides valuable insights for practitioners aiming to select activation functions that optimally align with their specific objectives and constraints in deep learning.","PeriodicalId":43667,"journal":{"name":"Muenster Journal of Mathematics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79994029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Time-varying parameters account for changes in transmission rates, people’s behaviors, safety precautions, government regulations, the rate of vaccinations, and also the probabilities of recovery and death. By using a parameter estimation based on the simplex algorithm, the system of differential equations is able to match real COVID-19 data for infections, deaths, and vaccinations in the United States of America with relatively high precision. Autoregression is used to forecast parameters in order to forecast solutions. Van den Driessche’s next-generation approach for basic reproduction number agrees well across the entire time period. Analyses on sensitivity and elasticity are performed on the reproduction number with respect to transmission, exit, and natural death rates in order to observe the changes from a small change in parameter values.
