A Multifaceted Novel Approach to Identify Deceptive Reviews Based on Psychology Theories: A New Dataset

Abeer Hassan Asiri, Fahad Mazaed Alotaibi — Wed, 30 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

As deception negatively impacts various areas, deception detection is an important field of study. This paper introduces a framework to detect online review deception. It studied aspects of deceptive reviews, considering the complex nature of deception in textual data and the low chance of direct detection. Furthermore, the paper presents a new corpus for deceptive reviews labeled using deception hints. This dataset was compiled in English and extracted from Google Maps reviews. We focused on the reviews of “restaurants” in New York. The novelty of this dataset is that the truthful and deceptive reviews were not deliberately collected; that is, participants were not requested to write lies, but the texts were collected after the individuals had written them. We used predefined criteria using deception indicators to differentiate deceptive and truthful reviews for this dataset. Each suggested indicator is not a definitive indicator on its own, but we assessed review authenticity using a set of indicators together. This paper aims to discuss lie detection strategies and theories, design a theory-based framework to detect deception in online reviews and implement the framework on a real-world dataset to provide a foundation for future empirical research and practical applications. The experimental results obtained from our labeled benchmark dataset showcase the effectiveness of this approach.

Developing a Risk Index for Start-Up Businesses in SMEs Using the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM)

Thu, 31 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The growth of business start-ups, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, has grown due to their importance in driving economic development and creating jobs. However, many people who establish businesses struggle to sustain them beyond five years and eventually close them down. The challenges entrepreneurs face during their journeys are caused by the different risks and obstacles they face. In this context, effective management of risks is necessary for entrepreneurs to recognize and reduce such risks. This research article aims to construct a risk index for start-up businesses in SMEs by achieving expert consensus on major risk elements during start-up stages using the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM). The study employed a questionnaire developed through semi-structured interviews with entrepreneurs. Twenty one entrepreneurs from three industries were selected as a sample for this study. Analysing data using Microsoft Excel FDM showed four major risk factors affecting start-up businesses in small and medium-sized companies: Strategic Risk, Entrepreneurial Traits, Financial Risk, and Operational Risk. Using these factors, it is possible to generate a risk model for start-up firms within SMEs, which will serve as a guideline for entrepreneurs and other stakeholders in Malaysia. In addition, this study also assigned a weightage for every risk factor based on their priority. Lastly, using the weightage and basic formulation of the composite index, a general mathematical formulation of the Enterprise Risk Management Index was developed for start-up businesses in SMEs. Therefore, it will reduce the failure rate of start-up enterprises and increase the possibility of their success.

Suman suman, Rajeev Kumar — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Abstract. Lung is a vital organ in the human body that is affected by many diseases each with different causes, symptoms, and treatments. In the present paper, a general stochastic model for lung diseases has been developed considering various stages of progression of the disease. In the model, two types of diagnostic tests viz. normal and advance diagnostic tests have been taken into account. For the survival analysis purpose, mean sojourn times and mean survival time have been calculated for the model using concepts of Markov process and regenerative point techniques. Sensitivity and relative sensitivity analyses have also been performed to find out how the variation in parameters affect the mean survival time under certain specific conditions.

Keywords. Lung disease, Mean sojourn time, Mean survival time, Markov process, Regenerative point technique, Sensitivity analysis.

Mixed Hegselmann-Krause dynamics III

Hsin-Lun Li — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The mixed Hegselmann-Krause (HK) model encompasses both the Deffuant and Hegselmann-Krause models. Building upon our previous work in~\cite{mHK2}, we delve into the mixed HK model within a heterogeneous interaction framework. This involves either pair interaction, where all interacting pairs approach each other equally at their rate, or group interaction at each time step. Our research focuses on identifying circumstances conducive to consensus formation within this heterogeneous interaction paradigm. Furthermore, we delve into pair interaction scenarios where interacting pairs can approach each other at distinct rates. This differs from the Deffuant model, where an interacting pair can only approach each other at the same rate under a homogeneous threshold. Our investigation also aims to elucidate the conditions under which consensus can be attained under pair interaction with distinct approaching rates.

Dinesh Kute, Arundhati Warke, Anil Khairnar — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This paper aims to expand classical ring theory into the fuzzy context, thereby strengthening the theoretical framework of fuzzy algebra. It introduces various types of fuzzy subrings, including fuzzy polynomial subrings and fuzzy matrix subrings, and explores their properties using the concept of fuzzy zero divisors. A significant contribution of this work is the development of the McCoy theorem for fuzzy polynomial subrings, leading to the definition of fuzzy McCoy subrings. Further, by building upon the notion of fuzzy zero divisors, the paper defines new classes of fuzzy subrings, such as fuzzy Armendariz subrings and fuzzy reduced subrings, and examines their fundamental properties and interconnections.

Matam Santoshi Kumari, H. Y. Shrivalli, B. Mallikarjuna — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

In this Paper we have considered second-order hyperbolic equations by implementing Natural cubic spline (NCS) method. Wave propagation and dynamic systems represents hyperbolic equations. We have considered the class of hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs) with constant coefficients and implemented NCS method both explicitly and Implicitly. In our implementation we replaced spatial derivatives by second derivative of Natural cubic spline and time derivatives by central finite difference operator. To show the effectiveness of proposed method we have considered numerical examples having both Dirichlet and Neumann conditions. In order to evaluate the NCS method's performance in managing various boundary behaviours which are frequently seen in real-world applications like heat conduction issues or wave propagation in bounded domains. The results are represented graphically exhibiting the accuracy of proposed NCS method. To check the efficiency of the NCS method we compared the results with analytical solution. The research not only demonstrates the Natural Cubic Spline's flexibility in resolving hyperbolic PDEs, but also emphasizes its benefits, including its capacity to smooth spatial discretization, adjust to different boundary conditions, and work with both explicit and implicit time integration schemes. The findings verify that the NCS approach is a reliable tool for numerical simulations in domains where hyperbolic equations are used, including fluid dynamics, acoustics, and other domains.

Rajat Subhra Das, Abhimanyu Kumar — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

In this study, we propose a mean iterative approach of third-order for solving a polyno-
mial equation that has multiple type zeros. We used three prominent third-order algorithms
for this build: Chebyshev, Halley, and Super-Hallev. For this CHS Combined Mean Method,
we developed two forms of local convergence theorems to determine the convergence of a
polynomial that has multiple zeros. We used the gauge function to determine the conver-
gence of our technique. We employed two distinct forms of initialconditions on a field with
norm to prove the local convergence theorems for the CHS combined mean technique. Our
convergence analysis includes error estimates.

Richa Rajawat, Joydip Dhar, Poonam Sinha — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

In this paper, the system including communicable infection from prey to predator, represented by the growing rate of the prey as a healing of a predator’s, has been utilized to develop and analyze a four-dimensional, non-linear eco-epidemic model. In the context of the analysis, the exploration of all potential equilibrium points, along with an examination of their local stability conditions, has been conducted both with and without considering time delays. Additionally, the model’s positivity and boundedness have been confirmed. The positive and negative impact of the proposed model on the prey-predator population has been investigated aided by sensitivity analysis where the presence and validence of Bifurcation were elucidated by the numerical studies. The parameters were identified which explained the influence of disease and recovery delay over the model population. A right base for the perception of the behavioural effects of the prey-predator on eco-epidemiology has been prepared through the theoretical result. Based on the analytical result, numerical simulations were done so that the authenticity of the author’s numerical analytical approach using parameter values could be verified.

B. B. Balpande, G. D. Kedar — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

A mathematical model for studying the consequences of a moving high-frequency induction heater on a ferromagnetic plate material was presented in the context of Maxwell’s equation. Conducting currents are generated when the material is exposed to electromagnetic fields operating at high frequency. The losses due to conducting currents and the hysteresis effect are summed and considered as the total heat loss of the problem. The expressions for heat losses, temperature field, elastic field, and magnetic field are obtained across the plate material in the context of Maxwell’s equations and Ohm’s law and are solved using the double finite Fourier sine and Marchi-Fasulo integral transforms. Lastly, the effects of the plate dimensions, frequency, and velocity of the heater and the resistivity are discussed and analyzed graphically. The result of the presented investigation will enable us to ensure the feasibility of the efficient design and construction of electric devices with magnetic circuits characterized by reduced heat losses.

S. Muthukumar, J. Ebenesar Anna Bagyam, S. Keerthana — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

In this paper, we aim to study the steady state behaviour of an M/M/1 queue with an optional differentiated working vacation I and II. After finishing a busy period, the server takes either an optional working vacation I or an optional working vacation II. Customer arrival is restricted when the server is either on an optional working vacation I or an optional working vacation II. The model's stable solution is derived using the probability generating function. Additionally, specific expressions are used to discuss a number of the performance measurements for the provided model. For cost optimization analysis, the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) method is also employed to reduce the total cost. We minimized the total cost of providing the best service by using the PSO optimization method. A few numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effects of different arrival rates, service rates, server vacation times, and customer wait times.

Mohamed Abd Allah El-Hadidy, R. Alraddadi — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

In this article, we investigate the Wiener stock market risk's maximum drawdown distribution. The danger of stochastic volatility in stock prices can be reduced by taking into account the most reliable and accurate decisions using this distribution. We extract various significant dependability aspects of this distribution, including the hazard and inverted hazard rate functions, in addition to presenting the closed-form pricing formula, which demonstrated the precise maximum drawdown distribution of the price path from the perspective of mathematical analysis. Additionally, a Wiener stock market risk's estimated value is calculated. This predicted value can be used to forecast future risk. Furthermore, we present a multivariate distribution of a maximum drawdown for an m-dimensional Wiener process and its key reliability aspects when this risk depends on the n separate and distinct primary stock market risks.

Independent Perfect Secure Domination in Graphs

Merlin Thomas, V. Jude Annie Cynthia — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

For a graph G = (V, E), a subset Y ⊆ V will be a dominating set if each vertex y ∈ V \Y possesses a neighbour in Y . A perfect secure dominating set of G is a dominating set in which every vertex y ∈ V \Y , has a unique vertex x ∈ Y such that xy ∈ E and (Y \{x})∪ {y} is a dominating set. In addition, if Y is an independent set, then Y is an independent perfect secure dominating set of G. We have introduced the concept of independent perfect secure domination, presented the fundamental properties of this new parameter and investigated the independent perfect secure domination in certain classes of graphs such as the connected split graphs and spiders in this paper. The complexity of the parameter is also discussed.

Ali Assoumani Rassoul, Güzin Yüksel — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The Birnbaum-Saunders (BS) distribution is a common reliability distribution used in
scientific studies. There have been studies in the literature on parameter estimates for this
distribution. Furthermore, in many studies, it is recommended to use genetic algorithm (GA)
optimization methods for parameter estimation in modeling. This article focuses on estimating
the model parameters of a two-parameter Birnbaum-Saunders distribution for type II right
censored reliability data. For parameter estimation of the Birnbaum-Saunders distribution, we
propose the Genetic Algorithm (GA) method as an alternative to the Maximum Likelihood
(ML) estimation method. Psi31 data is often used as an example to show the limitations of
prediction methods when using inaccurate data. In addition, the performances of ML and GA
methods were investigated through Monte Carlo simulation with different sample sizes and
censorship rates.

If every vertex in has at least one neighbour in both and , and every vertex in has an identical degree, then a set is a ‘restrained regular dominating set’, abbreviated RRDS. The least cardinality of all G’s RRDS is the ‘RRD number of G’, represented by . We ascertain the optimal bounds that can be applied to , and we identify the most optimal lower bounds for and , both and are connected. We also characterise those graphs satisfying these bounds.
