In this paper, we start with the question "what is algebraic thinking\ulcorner". The problem is that the algebraic thinking is not exactly defined. We consider algebraic thinking from the various perspectives. But in the discussion relating to the definition of algebraic thinking, we verify that there is the algebraic notations in the core of algebraic thinking. So we device algebraic notations into the six categories, and investigate these examples from the school mathematics. In order to investigate this relation of algebraic thinking and algebraic notations, we present 'the algebraic thinking process analysis model' from Frege' idea. In this model, there are three components of algebraic notations which interplays; sense, expression, denotapion. Thus many difficulties of algebraic thinking can be explained by this model. We suppose that the difficulty in the algebraic thinking may be caused by the discord of these three components. And through the transformation of conceptual frame, we can explain the dynamics of algebraic thinking. Also, we present examples which show these difficulties and dynamics of algebraic thinking. As a result of these analysis, we conclude that algebraic thinking can be explained through the semiotic aspects of algebraic notations.

It is hewn that we can apply algebraic attacks on combiners with memory such as summation generators. [1,8] To apply algebraic attacks on combiners with memory, we need to construct algebraic relations between the keystream bits and the initial bits of the LFSRs. Until now, all known methods produce algebraic relations involving several consecutive bits of keystream. [l.4.8] In this paper, we show that algebraic relations involving only one keystream bit can be constructed for summation generators. We also show that there is an algebraic relation involving only one keystream bit for ISG (9) proposed by Lee and Moon. Using this fact, we analyze the keystream generators which generate the keystreams by combining summation generators.

Sextic moment problems with an infinite algebraic variety are still widely open. We study the problem with a single cubic column relation associated to 3 parallel lines in which the variety is infinite. It turns out that this specific column relation has a strong connection with moment problems that have a symmetric algebraic variety. We present more concrete solutions to some sextic moment problems with a symmetric variety.

It was proved that Hen is an algebraic ,elation of degree [n(l+1]/2] for an (n, 1)-combine. which consists of n LFSRs and l memory bits. For the summation generator with $2^k$ LFSRs which uses k memory bits, we show that there is a non-trivial relation of degree at most $2^k$ using k+1 consecutive outputs. In general, for the summation generator with n LFSRs, we can construct a non-trivial algebraic relation of degree at most 2$^{{2^{[${log}_2$}n]}}$ using [${log}_2$＋1 consecutive outputs.

While many studies on early algebra have been conducted, there have been only a few studies on the operation sense as the fundamental element of algebraic thinking, especially the fraction operation sense. This study explored the dimensions of fraction operation sense and then investigated students' fraction operation sense. A total of 183 of sixth graders were surveyed and 5 students who showed high operation sense were clinically interviewed in order to analyze their algebraic thinking in detail. The results showed that students had a tendency to use direct calculation or employ inappropriate operation sense rather than to use the structure of operation or the relation between operations on the basis of algebraic thinking. This study implies that explicit instruction on early algebra is necessary from the elementary school years.

Generally school algebra is to start with introducing variables and algebraic expressions, which have major cognitive obstacles to students in the transfer from arithmetic to algebra. But the recent studies in the teaching school algebra argue the algebraic thinking from an early algebraic point of view. We compare the Korean elementary mathematics textbooks with Americans from this perspective. First, we discuss the history of school algebra in the school curriculum. And Second, we investigate the recent studies in relation to early algebra. We clarify the goals of this study(the importance of early algebra in the elementary school) through these discussions. Next we examine closely the number sense in the arithmetic and the symbol sense in the algebra. And we conclude that the operation sense can connect these senses within early algebra using the algebraic thinking. Finally, we compare the elementary mathematics books between Korean and American according to the components of the operation sense. In this comparative study, we identify a possibility of teaching algebraic thinking in the elementary mathematics and early algebra can be introduced to the elementary mathematics textbooks from aspects of the operation sense.

The purpose of this paper is to show that the coset bound can be used to prove the floor bound. Our proof provides a natural relation between the floor bound and the order bound.

Vickers hardness is defined as indenting force per unit area indented by a pyramid-shaped diamond at the hardness test. It is well known that Vickers hardness has a direct relation with the flow stress of the strain-hardened material. This relation was theoretically investigated and the result was summerized in a form of algebraic equation in the last paper. In the present paper and experimental validation of this theoretical relation is given along with mathematical formulas for conversion of Vickers hardness into the flow stress in the strain-hardened material for practical use.

The notion of $n$-ary algebraic hyperstructures is a generalization of ordinary algebraic hyperstructures. In this paper, we associate an n-ary hypergroupoid (H, $f$) with an ($n+1$)-ary relation ${\rho}_{n+1}$ defined on a non-empty set H. Then, we obtain some basic results in this respect. In particular, we investigate when it is an $n$-ary $H_v$-group, an $n$-ary hypergroup or a join $n$-ary space.

It is well known that H$_{\infty}$ control problem involves solving an algebraic Riccati equation which includes a pair of parameters (.gamma., .epsilon.). Focusing on .epsilon. the maximum of .epsilon.. We discuss in this paper about the properties between the H$_{\infty}$ norm of a trnsfer function matrix and the parameters(.gamma., .epsilon.). We can change the algebraic relattion between .gamma. and .epsilon. by the similarity transformation of a considered system and we can find a proper transformation to get a simple quadratic algebraic equation between .gamma. and .epsilon.. This relation provide the H$_{\infty}$ norm of a transfer function.on.
