Three‐unit semicircles curve: A compact 3D graphical representation of DNA sequences based on classifications of nucleotides

A new three‐dimensional graphical representation of DNA sequences, three‐unit semicircles (TUS)‐curve, which maps a given sequence into a dot sequences embedded in three‐unit semicircles, is proposed based on three biclassifications of nucleotides. TUS‐curve has the merit of compactness and could avoid the degeneracy and loss of information. The geometrical center of the curve, which indicates the distribution of base frequencies of the corresponding DNA sequence, is extracted and applied to analyze the similarity of various species. Phylogenetic tree of 11 species based on their first exons of β‐globin genes showed that the TUS‐curve is a powerful tool to get valuable biological information. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Continuous time markov decision processes with interventions

We study Markov jump decision processes with both continuously and instantaneouslyacting decisions and with deterministic drift between jumps. Such decision processes were recentlyintroduced and studied from discrete time approximations point of view by Van der Duyn Schouten.Weobtain necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for these decision processes in terms of equations and inequalities of quasi-variational type. By means of the latter we find simple necessaryand sufficient conditions for the existence of stationary optimal policies in such processes with finite state and action spaces, both in the discounted and average per unit time reward cases.     

Generalized vector variational-like inequalities and nonsmooth vector optimization problems

In this article, we establish some relationships between a solution of generalized vector variational-like inequalities and an efficient solution or a weakly efficient solution to the nonsmooth vector optimization problem under the assumptions of pseudoinvexity or invariant pseudomonotonicity. Our results extend and improve the corresponding results in the literature.     

The prescribed Ricci curvature problem on three‐dimensional unimodular Lie groups

Let G be a three‐dimensional unimodular Lie group, and let T be a left‐invariant symmetric (0,2)‐tensor field on G. We provide the necessary and sufficient conditions on T for the existence of a pair consisting of a left‐invariant Riemannian metric g and a positive constant c such that , where is the Ricci curvature of g. We also discuss the uniqueness of such pairs and show that, in most cases, there exists at most one positive constant c such that is solvable for some left‐invariant Riemannian metric g.     

Integral operators commuting with dilations and rotations in generalized Morrey-type spaces

We find conditions for the boundedness of integral operators $K$ commuting with dilations and rotations in a local generalized Morrey space. We also show that under the same conditions, these operators preserve the subspace of such Morrey space, known as vanishing Morrey space. We also give necessary conditions for the boundedness when the kernel is non-negative. In the case of classical Morrey spaces, the obtained sufficient and necessary conditions coincide with each other. In the one-dimensional case, we also obtain similar results for global Morrey spaces. In the case of radial kernels, we also obtain stronger estimates of $Kf$ via spherical means of $f$. We demonstrate the efficiency of the obtained conditions for a variety of examples such as weighted Hardy operators, weighted Hilbert operator, their multidimensional versions, and others.     

Cartan Invariants in the Category of Restricted Representation for gl(m|n)

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p 2, and gl(m|n) be the general linear Lie superalgebra over k. The Cartan invariants for the restricted supermodule category for gl(m|n) are presented.     

Corrigendum to: on the inheritance of the strongly π-extending property

In this corrigendum, we provide correct versions of Theorem 2.8 and Corollary 3.2, retract two consequences of the previous form of the Theorem 2.8. To this end, the main results of the article remain after the aforementioned changes.     

Action of the Cremona group on a noncommutative ring

The Cremona group acts on the field of two independent commutative variables over complex numbers. We provide a noncommutative algebra that is an analog of a noncommutative field of two independent variables and prove that the Cremona group embeds in a group of outer automorphisms of this algebra. We give two proofs of it, the first proof is technical, the second one is conceptual and proceeds through a construction of a birational invariant of an algebraic variety from its bounded derived category of coherent sheaves.     

SL(3,3~n)和SU(3,3~n)的第一Cartan不变量

确定Cartan不变量是代数群与相关的李型有限群的模表示理论中的一个重要方面.作者利用代数群模表示理论中的一系列结果,计算了3~n个元素的有限域上特殊线性群SL(3,3~n)和特殊酉群SU(3,3~n)的第一Cartan不变量,得到如下结论:当G=SL(3,3~n)时,C_(00)~((n))=a~n+b~n+6~n-2·8~n;而当G=SU(3,3~n)时,C_(00)~((n))=a~n+b~n+6~n-2·8~n+2·(1+(-1)~n),其中a,b是多项式x~2-20x+48的两个根.另外,作者也得到了射影不可分解模U_n(0,0)的维数公式:dim U_n(0,0)=(12~n-6~n+∈)·3~(3n),其中,当G=SL(3,3~n)时,∈=1;而当G=SU(3,3~n)时,∈=-1.
