Internal-valued fuzzy sets were suggested for the first time by Gorzalczang(1983). Based on this, Wang and Li extended their operations on interval-valued fuzzy numbers. Recently, Hong(2002) generalized results of Wang and Li and extended to interval-valued fuzzy numbers with Riemann integral. By using interval-valued Choquet integrals with respect to a fuzzy measure instead of Riemann integrals with respect to a classical measure, we studied some characterizations of interval-valued Choquet distance(2005). In this paper, we define Choquet distance measure for fuzzy number-valued fuzzy numbers and investigate some properties of them.

Since Mittag-Leffler introduced the so-called Mittag-Leffler function in 1903, due to its usefulness and diverse applications, a variety and large number of its extensions (and generalizations) and variants have been presented and investigated. In this sequel, we aim to introduce a new extension of the Mittag-Leffler function by using a known extended beta function. Then we investigate ceratin useful properties and formulas associated with the extended Mittag-Leffler function such as integral representation, Mellin transform, recurrence relation, and derivative formulas. We also introduce an extended Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative to present a fractional derivative formula for a known extended Mittag-Leffler function, the result of which is expressed in terms of the new extended Mittag-Leffler functions.

The object of this study is to develop the model that solves the numerically difficult problems in hydraulic engineering and to demonstrate the applicability of this model by means of various test examples, such as, verification in the gradually varied unsteady condition, three steady flow problems with the change of bottom slope with exact solution, and frictional bed with analytical solution. The governing equation of this model is the integral form of the Saint-Venant equation satisfying the conservation laws, and finite volume method with the Riemann solver is used. The evaluation of the mass and momentum flux with the HLL Riemann approximate solver is executed. MUSCL-Hancock scheme is used to achieve the second order accuracy in space and time. This study introduce the new and simple technique to discretize the source terms of gravity and hydrostatic pressure force due to longitudinal width variation for the balance of quantity between nonlinear flux and source terms. The results show that the developed model's implementation is accurate, robust and highly stable in various flow conditions with source terms, and this model is reliable for one-dimensional applications in hydraulic engineering.

One can construct a theory of probability of fractional order in which the exponential function is replaced by the Mittag-Leffler function. In this framework, it seems of interest to generalize some useful classical mathematical tools, so that they are more suitable in fractional calculus. After a short background on fractional calculus based on modified Riemann Liouville derivative, one summarizes some definitions on probability density of fractional order (for the motive), and then one introduces successively fractional Euler's integrals (first and second kind) and fractional Hermite polynomials. Some properties of the Gaussian density of fractional order are exhibited. The fractional probability so introduced exhibits some relations with quantum probability.

Interval-valued fuzzy sets were suggested for the first time by Gorzalczang(1983) and Turken(1986). Based on this, Wang and Li extended their operations on interval-valued fuzzy numbers. Recently, Hong(2002) generalized results of Wang and Li and extended to interval-valued fuzzy sets with Riemann integral. In this paper, we define a distance measure on interval-valued fuzzy numbers using Choquet integral with respect to a classical measure and investigate their properties.

The Gamma function ${\Gamma}$ which was first introduced b Euler in 1730 has played a very important role in many branches of mathematics, especially, in the theory of special functions, and has been introduced in most of calculus textbooks. In this note, our major aim is to explain the convergence of the Euler's Gamma function expressed as an improper integral by using some elementary properties and a fundamental axiom holding on the set of real numbers $\mathbb{R}$, in a detailed and instructive manner. A brief history and origin of the Gamma function is also considered.

This study aims to provide a teaching strategy accommodating the symbols of the definite integral and guiding students through the meaning of notations in area and volume calculations, based on characterization as to how students comprehend the symbols used in the Riemann sum formula and the definite integral, and their interrelationship. A survey was conducted on 70 high school students regarding the historical background of integral symbols and the textbook contents designated for the definite integral. In the following analysis, the comprehension was qualified by 5 levels; students in higher levels of comprehension demonstrated closer relation to the history of integral notations. A teaching strategy was developed accordingly, which suggested more desirable student understanding on the concept of definite integral symbols in area and volume calculations.

Several families of infinite series were summed recently by means of certain operators of fractional calculus(that is, calculus of derivatives and integrals of any real or complex order). In the present sequel to this recent work, it is shown that much more general classes of infinite sums can be evaluated without using fractional calculus. Some other related results are also considered.

This paper develops an approach to the evaluation of quadratic Euler sums that involve harmonic numbers. The approach is based on simple integral computations of polylogarithms. By using the approach, we establish some relations between quadratic Euler sums and linear sums. Furthermore, we obtain some closed form representations of quadratic sums in terms of zeta values and linear sums. The given representations are new.

In this paper, we obtain some formulae for harmonic sums, alternating harmonic sums and Stirling number sums by using the method of integral representations of series. As applications of these formulae, we give explicit formula of several quadratic and cubic Euler sums through zeta values and linear sums. Furthermore, some relationships between harmonic numbers and Stirling numbers of the first kind are established.
