The aim of this paper is to introduce the two notions of filtrations and deductive systems in BCL+ algebras, and investigate some of their related properties. Using this, we prove that the filtration is subalgebra of BCL+ algebras; we also prove that the filtration of BCL+ algebr...

In this note we compute values of global linear Harbourne constants over arbitrary fields for up to ten lines. These invariants have appeared recently in the discussions around the Bounded Negativity Conjecture, see [1]. They seem to be of independent interest also from the point...

Finding the best investment is an interesting optimization problem. When we deal with such a problem in an uncertain and vague environment, the optimization problem becomes more difficult. In this paper, we deal with rough data expressed in the form of an inexact rough interval f...

A model for the dynamics of homogeneous population competition between two species of weeds and a crop is formulated to gain in-sight into the behaviour of crop growing with weeds. We used assumptions based upon reasonable biological process to derive from single weed model equat...
