This is a variation on a theme of Bayer-Fluckiger, Shapiro, and Tignol related to hyperbolic involutions. More precisely, criteria for the hyperbolicity of involutions of quadratic extensions of simple algebras and involutions of the form σ ⊗ τ and σ ⊗ ρ, where σ is an involution of a central simple algebra A, τ is the nontrivial automorphism of a quadratic extension of the center of A, and ρ is an involution of a quaternion algebra are obtained  

The aim of this article is to provide a characterization of quadratic forms of low dimension such that the canonical involutions of their Clifford algebras are hyperbolic  

Involutions of the Clifford algebra of a quadratic space induced by orthogonal symmetries are investigated  

For every rotation (Formula presented.) of the Euclidean space (Formula presented.) ((Formula presented.)), we find an upper bound for the number (Formula presented.) such that (Formula presented.) is a product of (Formula presented.) rotations by an angle (Formula presented.) ((Formula presented.)). We also find an upper bound for the number (Formula presented.) such that (Formula presented.) can be written as a product of (Formula presented.) full rotations by an angle (Formula presented.). © 2017 Australian Mathematical Publishing Association Inc  

For every rotation of the Euclidean space ℝ(n≥3), we find an upper bound for the number such that is a product of rotations by an angle α( 0<≤π). We also find an upper bound for the number such that ρ can be written as a product of full rotations by an angle α. © 2017 Australian Mathematical Publishing Association Inc  

This article aims to present a geometric interpretation of the simplicity of the rotation group of three-dimensional Euclidean space. Some historical remarks on the subject and an overview of a collection of different proofs of this result are also given  

We investigate the structure of normal subgroups of the unit group of a quaternion algebra over a pythagorean field. © 2019, Iranian Mathematical Society  

To improve the hydrogen kinetics of magnesium hydride, TiCr1.2Fe0.6 alloy was prepared by vacuum arc remelting (VAR) and the alloy was co-milled with MgH2 to process nanostructured MgH2–5 at.% TiCr1.2Fe0.6 powder. The hydrogen desorption properties of the composite powder were studied and compared with pure magnesium hydride. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that the composite powder prepared by VAR/mechanical alloying (MA) procedure consisted of β-MgH2, γ-MgH2, bcc Ti–Cr–Fe alloy, and small amount of MgO. The average size of particles and their grain structure after 4 h MA were determined by a laser particle size analyzer and XRD method and found to be 194 nm and 11 nm, respectively.... 

In this paper we develop a fuzzy system to obtain the demand based on input variables of price, warranty length and lead time of order delivery. We use linguistic terms to illustrate the situation of input and output variables and construct a fuzzy rule base. The fuzzy rule base is integrated with a genetic algorithm to construct a hybrid solution method. The best value of price, warranty length and lead time are obtained by maximizing the manufacturer profit. Finally a numerical example is presented to show the performance of proposed approach  

In this article, we propose a bi-objective model for the pricing-queuing problem under a fuzzy environment. We consider two objectives: maximizing the profit function and minimizing the waiting time in queue. Imagine a firm which sells a product in a channel providing after sales services. The sales price and warranty length affect customer demand. We formulate the demand function as a fuzzy system considering the sales price and warranty length. The firm optimizes the sales price and warranty length, as well as waiting time, in the queue of after sales services, to maximize its revenues and minimize waiting time. To solve the derived model, we develop a hybrid solution method of a fuzzy...
