Abstract

The novelty of this paper is to construct the explicit combinatorial formula for the number of all distinct fuzzy matrices of finite order, which leads us to invent a new sequence. In order to achieve this new sequence, we analyze the behavioral study of equivalence classes on the set of all fuzzy matrices of a given order under a suitable natural equivalence relation. In addition this paper characterizes the properties of non-equivalent classes of fuzzy matrices of order n with elements having degrees of membership values anywhere in the closed unit interval [0,1]. Further, this paper also derives some important relevant results by enumerating the number of all distinct fuzzy matrices of a given order in general. And also, we achieve these results by incorporating the notion of k-level fuzzy matrices, chains, and flags (maximal chains). Keywords: Fuzzy matrices; k-level fuzzy matrices; Chains; Flags; Binomial numbers

Average Chord Lengths in a Triangle

Let $P$ be a point inside a triangle $T$. We consider the average length of the chords of $T$ through $P$, where the direction of the chord is chosen uniformly. An elementary formula is obtained in terms of the distances from $P$ to the sides and vertices of the triangle. Several classical triangle centers give especially simple specializations. For example, if $I$ is the incenter, then \[ M_T(I)=\frac{2r}{\pi} \log\left(\cot\frac A4\cot\frac B4\cot\frac C4\right). \] Our main result is the sharp inequality \[ M_T(P)\le \frac{p}{\pi\sqrt3}\log(2+\sqrt3), \] valid simultaneously for every triangle of perimeter $p$ and every interior point $P$. Thus, among all such pairs $(T,P)$, the largest possible average chord length occurs only when $T$ is equilateral and $P$ is its center. The proof is an elementary symmetrization argument. We close with brief remarks relating the problem to the radial center of a convex body, the electrostatic potential center of a triangle, and dual quermassintegrals.

The decrease in sectional curvature of the Fisher--Rao manifold of beta distributions

In the paper, the author develops a general convexity lemma and applies it to demonstrate the monotonic decrease of a function involving polygamma functions, arising from the sectional curvature of the Fisher--Rao manifold of beta distributions.

A Proof of Liu's Conjecture on the Fundamental Triangle Inequality

Let $a,b,c$ be the side lengths of a triangle, and let $R$ and $r$ denote its circumradius and inradius, respectively. We prove a conjecture of Liu stating that \[\sum_{\mathrm{cyc}} \left(\frac{a(b+c-a)}{bc}\right)^k \geq 2+\left(\frac{2r}{R}\right)^k,~~k>1, \] with the reverse inequality for $0<k<1$. The proof reduces the problem to three positive variables with fixed sum and product. We also determine the equality cases.
