Novel versions of Hölder's-Like and related inequalities with newly defined space, and their applications over fuzzy domain.

It is widely recognized that fuzzy number theory relies on the characteristic function. However, within the fuzzy realm, the characteristic function transforms into a membership function contingent upon the interval [0,1]. This implies that real numbers and intervals represent exceptional cases of fuzzy numbers.

Reactive collisions between electrons and BeH above dissociation threshold.

Our previous studies of dissociative recombination and vibrational excitation/de-excitation of the BeH ion, based on the multichannel quantum defect theory, are extended to collision energies above the dissociation threshold, taking into account the vibrational continua of the BeH ion and, consequently, its dissociative excitation.
