Plenary Lecture 1

A Mathematical Approach to Psychological Insight

Professor Alin Gilbert Sumedrea Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu

Faculty of Science ROMANIA

E-mail: alin.sumedrea@gmail.com Abstract: The psychological dynamics is governed by the "observable-unobservable" systemic ratio. The psychological insight represented by the (unobservable) psychological soft component obeys the functional models which define the psychological system. The functionality of the psychological system depends on the functionality of psychological instances. What is essential and what is variable in transactional "challenge-response"? The pointing out of the essential feature presupposes the coming into play of an equivalence class of a ratio in which the engaged resources oppose a certain destructive potential. Technically speaking, in this ratio a certain tolerance of the entropy of psychological measures and a certain capacity to adjust this entropy are involved. This means that different situations could be treated in an equivalent manner. But this fact proves the myth of psychological invincibility! At the conscious level, a new structure is needed, which has to bring out the problematic situations. This structure should have the behaviour of a special consciousness which has to distinguish between the potentials of using its products. The interpretive potential of the conscious instance is recorded by the tensional effort – a weak structure which preserves the equivalence class – mentioned above – specific to a person. The reason for preserving it is to assure the simultaneous functioning of strong and weak psychological structures and, of course, of psychological instances. At the psychological level, the entropy and the adjustment of entropy are assembled in different structures. The structures must be compatible, meaning that these are acting on the basis of certain formulae which have to assure the accurate functioning of the psychological system. The variability of the psychological energy suggests for the unconscious instance equivalence class type structures, functioning on the basis of a constant "anti-entropy/entropy" ratio and for the conscious instance and its peripheral instance, the special type structures functioning on the basis of the "anti-entropy + entropy" formula. The functioning of the psychological system presupposes the existence of a certain control structure of the functioning of psychological instances along predefined formulae. The approach based on the mathematical theory of invariants clarifies the problem of the nature of the tensional habituation process, the behaviour of the need for psychological stimulation in conditions of psychological equilibrium and the relation between the subjective perception of the psychological tension and the amplitude of the tensional states. Trying to find a similitude between the physical and the psychological world of the attraction laws, the theory of the germination processes of tensional states is posited. The future purpose of the mathematical approach is to create an unifying theory between the functionality of the psychological soft and of the physiological hard.

Plenary Lecture 2

A Heuristic Algorithm for the Network Design Problem

Professor Milan Tuba Megatrend University Belgrade Faculty of Computer Science

Serbia E-mail: tuba@ieee.org

Abstract: The network design problem (NDP) is a well known problem which can be applied to many different types of networks. It was well investigated applied to computer communications networks during the time of Internet development. Today it is again very actual applied mostly to the dynamic wireless networks (MANET – mobile ad hoc networks). The network design problem is an NP-hard problem which involves topology selection (subset of possible links) and routing determination (paths for the offered traffic). Capacity assignment is usually treated as a 0-1 problem and as such included it in the topology problem. This does not make the network design problem easier, just the opposite, it moves optimization from continuous to integer. The goal is to minimize the cost which can be a combination of the link costs and delay penalties, under possible additional constraints. Such hard combinatorial graph problems are often treated by evolutionary metaheuristics. In many cases better results and faster convergence are achieved by hybrid algorithms where some local searcher that utilizes particular knowledge about the corresponding problem is included. Here we propose and analyze a computationally feasible heuristic algorithm which excludes underutilized links by a version of flow-deviation method. A simplified queuing model is developed for cost function estimate. Some theoretical results are also established that direct initial approximation. Proposed algorithm can dynamically be adjusted for faster or better results. It is implemented and computes a good solution that is robust with respect to often required dynamic changes of the cost function. Brief Biography of the Speaker: Milan Tuba received B.

Plenary Lecture 4

On Robust Fuzzy Clustering and Validity Indexes

Professor Miin-Shen Yang Department of Applied Mathematics

Chung Yuan Christian University Chung-Li 32023, Taiwan

E-mail: msyang@math.cycu.edu.tw Abstract: Cluster analysis is a method for finding clusters of a data set with the most similarity within the same cluster and the most dissimilarity between different clusters. It is unsupervised learning in pattern recognition. Since Zadeh [1] proposed fuzzy sets that introduced the idea of partial memberships described by the membership functions, fuzzy clustering has been widely studied and applied in a variety of substantive areas (see [2-5]). In fuzzy clustering, the FCM algorithm and its variations are well known and the most used in various applications. We know that the robustness is important for clustering (see [6]) However, the robustness for these FCM and various extended fuzzy clustering algorithms still needs for further study. In this talk, we shall focus the robustness for these fuzzy clustering algorithms. We use the o function of M-estimate to analyze the robustness for fuzzy clustering algorithms and then propose their improvements. On the other hand, cluster validity indexes can be used to evaluate the fitness of data partitions produced by a fuzzy clustering algorithm (see [7-9]). However, the values of validity indexes may be heavily influenced by noise and outliers. In the literature, there is little discussion about the robustness of cluster validity indexes. In this talk, we also analyze the robustness of a validity index using the o function of M-estimate. We then improve most fuzzy cluster validity indexes so that they will be more robust for noise and outliers. Some comparative examples with numerical and real data sets will be presented.

From 1997 to 1998, he was a Visiting Professor with the Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Washington, Seattle. During 2001-2005, he was the Chairman of the Department of Applied Mathematics in the Chung Yuan Christian University.
