Niklas Brännström
Pages: 465 - 487
In [Y. Kifer, Averaging in difference equations driven by dynamical systems, Asterisque287 (2003) 103–123] a general averaging principle for slow-fast discrete dynamical systems was presented.

On Contradiction and Inclusion Using Functional Degrees
Nicolás Madrid, Manuel Ojeda-Aciego
Pages: 464 - 471
The notion of inclusion is a cornerstone in set theory and therefore, its generalization in fuzzy set theory is of great interest. The degree of f-inclusion is one generalization of such a notion that differs from others existing in the literature because the degree of inclusion is considered as a mapping...

Classical solutions of a massless Wess-Zumino model
Marco Frasca
Pages: 464 - 468
We provide a current expansion for the classical equations of motion of the massles Wess-Zumino model. In the low-energy limit, there appears a massive behavior for bosonic degrees of freedom and, at small coupling, the fermion field shows the same mass and supersymmetry is overall preserved. In the...
