Abstract Using the notion of preconcept, we generalize Pawlak’s approximation operators from a one-dimensional space to a two-dimensional space in a formal context. In a formal context, we present two groups of approximation operators in a two-dimensional space: one is aided by an equivalence relation defined on the attribute set, and another is aided by the lattice theoretical property of the family of preconcepts. In addition, we analyze the properties of those approximation operators. All these results show that we can approximate all the subsets in a formal context assisted by the family of preconcepts using the above groups of approximation operators. Some biological examples show that the two groups of approximation operators provided in this article have potential ability to assist biologists to do the phylogenetic analysis of insects.

Reflection from a certain mirror is one of the main types of transformations in geometry. On a plane a mirror represents a straight line. When reflecting, we obtain an object, each point of which is symmetric with respect to this straight line. In this paper have been considered examples of reflection from a circle – a general case of a straight line, if the latter is defined through a circle of infinite radius. While analyzing a simple reflection and generalization of this process to the cases of such curvature of the mirror, an interesting phenomenon was found – an increase in the reflection dimension by one, that is, under reflection of a one-dimensional object from the circle, a two-dimensional curve is obtained. Thus, under reflection of a point from the circle was obtained the family of Pascal's snails. The main cases, related to reflection from a circular mirror the simplest two-dimensional objects – a segment and a circle at their various arrangement, were also considered. In these examples, the reflections are two-dimensional objects – areas of bizarre shape, bounded by sections of curves – Pascal snails. The most interesting is the reflection of two-dimensional objects on a plane, because the reflection is too informative to fit in the appropriate space. To represent the models of obtained reflections, it was proposed to move into three-dimensional space, and also developed a general algorithm allowing obtain the object reflection from the curved mirror in the space of any dimension. Threedimensional models of the reflections obtained by this algorithm have been presented. This paper reveals the prospects for further research related to transition to three-dimensional space and reflection of objects from a spherical surface (possibility to obtain four-dimensional and five-dimensional reflections), as well as studies of reflections from geometric curves in the plane, and more complex surfaces in space.


We study the qualitative dynamics of two-parameter families of planar maps of the form F^e(x, y) = (y, -ex+f(y)), where f :R -> R is a C 3 map with a single critical point and negative Schwarzian derivative. The prototype of such maps is the family f(y) = u —y 2 or (in different coordinates) f(y) = Ay(1 —y), in which case F^ e is the Henon map. The maps F e have constant Jacobian determinant e and, as e -> 0, collapse to the family f^. The behaviour of such one-dimensional families is quite well understood, and we are able to use their bifurcation structures and information on their non-wandering sets to obtain results on both local and global bifurcations of F/ ue , for small e . Moreover, we are able to extend these results to the area preserving family F/u. 1 , thereby obtaining (partial) bifurcation sets in the (/u, e)-plane. Among our conclusions we find that the bifurcation sequence for periodic orbits, which is restricted by Sarkovskii’s theorem and the kneading theory for one-dimensional maps, is quite different for two-dimensional families. In particular, certain periodic orbits that appear at the end of the one-dimensional sequence appear at the beginning of the area preserving sequence, and infinitely many families of saddle node and period doubling bifurcation curves cross each other in the ( /u, e ) -parameter plane between e = 0 and e = 1. We obtain these results from a study of the homoclinic bifurcations (tangencies of stable and unstable manifolds) of F /u.e and of the associated sequences of periodic bifurcations that accumulate on them. We illustrate our results with some numerical computations for the orientation-preserving Henon map.

The analysis of chaotic attractor generation is given, and the generation of novel chaotic attractor is introduced in this paper. The underlying mechanism involves two simple linear systems with one-dimensional, two-dimensional, or three-dimensional space functions. Moreover, it is demonstrated by simulation that various attractor patterns are generated conveniently by adjusting suitable space functions' parameters and the statistic behavior is also discussed.

PRINCIPLES AND STANDARDS FOR SCHOOL MATHEMATICS (NCTM 2000) is designed around the idea of integrating content and process skills in teaching and learning mathematics. A curriculum is envisioned in which the content is taught through problem solving, communicating, and making connections. In the Grade 6–8 Standards, one key idea that connects much of the content is proportionality: “Proportionality connects many of the mathematics topics studied in grades 6–8” (NCTM 2000, p. 217). For example, in this digital age, numerous students have access to equipment for enhancing photographs, including stretching and shrinking. Proportional reasoning is an important idea in the manipulation of such objects and involves distinguishing between changes that occur in both one-dimensional, or linear (length), and two-dimensional space (area) as well as the development of the mathematics of similarity. Textbooks typically equate proportions with the cross-products rule, which states that the “product of the extremes equals the product of the means.” In other words, if a/b = c/d, then a × d = b × c.

AbstractThis paper presents a simple dynamic general equilibrium model in which each household can make a costly investment in patience capital at each time. We show that the interior long-run steady state is unstable, in the sense that per household, there is a one-dimensional curve lying in the two-dimensional space of its patience capital and physical capital amounts, and convergence happens only when its initial pair falls exactly on the curve. Households with the initial vectors falling in the upper side of the curve invest more in patience capital, which leads themselves to save more, and hence, the consumption level grows in the long run. Households with the initial vectors falling in the lower side opt out from investing in patience capital, leading to a decay of patience level, which leads themselves to save less and hence they perish in the long run. We also show a possibility that there is an expanding swing between the two classes.

A one-dimensional model of nonmonocentric urban land use is extended into a two-dimensional space. Under the assumption of circular symmetry, it is shown that the equilibrium urban configurations in the two-dimensional space are essentially the same as those in the one-dimensional space except for the conditions on the parameters.

Taking into account force, temperature and other loads, the stress and strain state calculations methods of spatial structures involve determining the distribution of the loads in the three-dimensional body of the structure [1, 2]. In many cases the output data for this distribution can be the values of loadings in separate points of the structure. The problem of load distribution in the body of the structure can be solved by three-dimensional discrete interpolation in four-dimensional space based on the method of finite differences, which has been widely used in solving various engineering problems in different fields. A discrete conception of the load distribution at points in the body or in the environment is also required for solving problems by the finite elements method [3-7]. From a geometrical point of view, the result of three-dimensional interpolation is a multivariate of the four-dimensional space [8], where the three dimensions are the coordinates of a three-dimensional body point, and the fourth is the loading at this point. Such interpolation provides for setting of the three coordinates of the point and determining the load at that point. The simplest three-dimensional grid in the three-dimensional space is the grid based on a single sided hypercube. The coordinates of the nodes of such a grid correspond to the numbering of nodes along the coordinate axes. Discrete interpolation of points by the finite difference method is directly related to the numerical solutions of differential equations with given boundary conditions and also requires the setting of boundary conditions. If we consider a three-dimensional grid included into a parallelepiped, the boundary conditions are divided into three types: 1) zero-dimensional (loads at points), where the three edges of the grid converge; 2) one-dimensional (loads at points of lines), where the four edges of the grid converge; 3) two-dimensional (loads at the points of faces), where the five edges of the grid converge. The zero-dimensional conditions are boundary conditions for one-dimensional interpolation of the one-dimensional conditions, which, in turn, are boundary conditions for two-dimensional conditions, and the two-dimensional conditions are boundary conditions for determining the load on the inner points of the grid. If a load is specified only at certain points of boundary conditions, then the interpolation problem is divided into three stages: one-dimensional load interpolation onto the line nodes, two-dimensional load interpolation onto the surface nodes and three-dimensional load interpolation onto internal grid nodes. The proposed method of discrete three-dimensional interpolation allows, according to the specified values of force, temperature or other loads at individual points of the three-dimensional body, to interpolate such loads on all nodes of a given regular three-dimensional grid with cubic cells. As a result of interpolation, a discrete point framework of the multivariate is obtained, which is a geometric model of the distribution of physical characteristics in a given medium according to the values of these characteristics at individual points.
