Lattices generated by orbits of subspaces under finite singular pseudo-symplectic groups I

Let be the (2ν+1+l)-dimensional vector space over the finite field . In the paper we assume that is a finite field of characteristic 2, and the singular pseudo-symplectic groups of degree 2ν+1+l over . Let be any orbit of subspaces under . Denote by the set of subspaces which are intersections of subspaces in and the intersection of the empty set of subspaces of is assumed to be . By ordering by ordinary or reverse inclusion, two lattices are obtained. This paper studies the inclusion relations between different lattices, a characterization of subspaces contained in a given lattice , and the characteristic polynomial of .     

The simplicity of certain groups of subanalytic diffeomorphisms

Let M be a connected real analytic manifold. We denote by , 1r<∞, the group of subanalytic C^r diffeomorphisms of M which are isotopic to the identity via a compactly supported subanalytic C^r isotopy. We show that satisfies Epstein's axioms. This implies that the commutator subgroup of is simple. Moreover, we show that the commutator subgroup of is dense in . As a corollary we obtain that is topologically simple.

Two canonical passive state/signal shift realizations of passive discrete time behaviors

A discrete time invariant linear state/signal system Σ with a Hilbert state space and a Kren signal space has trajectories (x(),w()) that are solutions of the equation , where F is a bounded linear operator from into with a closed domain whose projection onto is all of . This system is passive if the graph of F is a maximal nonnegative subspace of the Kren space . The future behavior of a passive system Σ is the set of all signal components w() of trajectories (x(),w()) of Σ on with x(0)=0 and . This is always a maximal nonnegative shift-invariant subspace of the Kren space , i.e., the space endowed with the indefinite inner product inherited from . Subspaces of with this property are called passive future behaviors. In this work we study passive state/signal systems and passive behaviors (future, full, and past). In particular, we define and study the input and output maps of a passive state/signal system, and the past/future map of a passive behavior. We then turn to the inverse problem, and construct two passive state/signal realizations of a given passive future behavior , one of which is observable and backward conservative, and the other controllable and forward conservative. Both of these are canonical in the sense that they are uniquely determined by the given data , in contrast earlier realizations that depend not only on , but also on some arbitrarily chosen fundamental decomposition of the signal space . From our canonical realizations we are able to recover the two standard de Branges–Rovnyak input/state/output shift realizations of a given operator-valued Schur function in the unit disk.     

On Jordan ideals and matrix rings

For A, a commutative ring, and results by Costa and Keller characterize certain -normalized subgroups of the symplectic group, via structures utilizing Jordan ideals and the notion of radices. The following work creates a Jordan ideal structure theorem for -graded rings, A₀A₁, and a -graded matrix algebra. The major theorem is a generalization of Costa and Keller’s previous work on matrix algebras over commutative rings.     

Common hermitian and positive solutions to the adjointable operator equations ,

Let be a C^*-algebra. For any Hilbert -modules H and K, let be the set of adjointable operators from H to K. Let H,K,L be Hilbert -modules, and . In this paper, we propose necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of common hermitian and positive solutions to the equations , and obtain the formulae for the general forms of these solutions. Some results, known for finite matrices and Hilbert space operators, are extended to the adjointable operators acting on Hilbert C^*-modules.     

Approximation of Sobolev classes by polynomials and ridge functions

Let be the usual Sobolev class of functions on the unit ball in , and be the subclass of all radial functions in . We show that for the classes and , the orders of best approximation by polynomials in coincide. We also obtain exact orders of best approximation in of the classes by ridge functions and, as an immediate consequence, we obtain the same orders in for the usual Sobolev classes .     

Semifields of order with left nucleus and center

In [G. Marino, O. Polverino, R. Trombetti, On -linear sets of PG(3,q³) and semifields, J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 114 (5) (2007) 769–788] it has been proven that there exist six non-isotopic families (i=0,…,5) of semifields of order q⁶ with left nucleus and center , according to the different geometric configurations of the associated -linear sets. In this paper we first prove that any semifield of order q⁶ with left nucleus , right and middle nuclei and center is isotopic to a cyclic semifield. Then, we focus on the family by proving that it can be partitioned into three further non-isotopic families: , , and we show that any semifield of order q⁶ with left nucleus , right and middle nuclei and center belongs to the family .     

Limits of small functors

For a small category enriched over a suitable monoidal category , the free completion of under colimits is the presheaf category . If is large, its free completion under colimits is the -category of small presheaves on , where a presheaf is small if it is a left Kan extension of some presheaf with small domain. We study the existence of limits and of monoidal closed structures on .     

Polynomial-time approximation schemes for piercing and covering with applications in wireless networks

Let be a set of disks of arbitrary radii in the plane, and let be a set of points. We study the following three problems: (i) Assuming contains the set of center points of disks in , find a minimum-cardinality subset of (if exists), such that each disk in is pierced by at least h points of , where h is a given constant. We call this problem minimum h-piercing. (ii) Assuming is such that for each there exists a point in whose distance from D's center is at most αr(D), where r(D) is D's radius and 0α<1 is a given constant, find a minimum-cardinality subset of , such that each disk in is pierced by at least one point of . We call this problem minimum discrete piercing with cores. (iii) Assuming is the set of center points of disks in , and that each covers at most l points of , where l is a constant, find a minimum-cardinality subset of , such that each point of is covered by at least one disk of . We call this problem minimum center covering. For each of these problems we present a constant-factor approximation algorithm (trivial for problem (iii)), followed by a polynomial-time approximation scheme. The polynomial-time approximation schemes are based on an adapted and extended version of Chan's [T.M. Chan, Polynomial-time approximation schemes for packing and piercing fat objects, J. Algorithms 46 (2003) 178–189] separator theorem. Our PTAS for problem (ii) enables one, in practical cases, to obtain a (1+ε)-approximation for minimum discrete piercing (i.e., for arbitrary ).     

Inheritance of hyper-duality in imprimitive Bose–Mesner algebras

We prove the following result concerning the inheritance of hyper-duality by block and quotient Bose–Mesner algebras associated with a hyper-dual pair of imprimitive Bose–Mesner algebras. Let and denote Bose–Mesner algebras. Suppose there is a hyper-duality ψ from the subconstituent algebra of with respect to p to the subconstituent algebra of with respect to . Also suppose that is imprimitive with respect to a subset of Hadamard idempotents, so is dual imprimitive with respect to the subset of primitive idempotents, where is the formal duality associated with ψ. Let denote the block Bose–Mesner algebra of on the block containing p, and let denote the quotient Bose–Mesner algebra of with respect to . Then there is a hyper-duality from the subconstituent algebra of with respect to p to the subconstituent algebra of with respect to .     

On ternary Kloosterman sums modulo 12

Let K(a) denote the Kloosterman sum on . It is easy to see that for all . We completely characterize those for which , and . The simplicity of the characterization allows us to count the number of the belonging to each of these three classes. As a byproduct we offer an alternative proof for a new class of quasi-perfect ternary linear codes recently presented by Danev and Dodunekov.     

On fractional maximal function and fractional integral on the Laguerre hypergroup

Let be the Laguerre hypergroup which is the fundamental manifold of the radial function space for the Heisenberg group. In this paper we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions on the parameters for the boundedness of the fractional maximal operator and the fractional integral operator on the Laguerre hypergroup from the spaces to the spaces and from the spaces to the weak spaces .     

Formal extension and quotients of the invariant holonomic system

Let be a semisimple Lie algebra and a Cartan subalgebra of . Fix . Let be the invariant holonomic system (see [R. Hotta, M. Kashiwara, The invariant holonomic system on a semisimple Lie algebra, Invent. Math. 75 (1984) 327–358]). First we investigate its formal extension . In the sequel we calculate the characteristic variety of some simple quotients of and its Fourier transform .     

-structure on the deformation complex of a morphism

-structure is shown to exist on the deformation complex of a morphism of associative algebras. The main step of the construction is the extension of a -algebra by an associative algebra. Actions of -algebras on associative and -algebras are analyzed; extensions of -algebras by associative and -algebras that they act upon are constructed. The resulting -algebra on the deformation complex of a morphism is shown to be quasi-isomorphic to the -algebra on the deformation complex of the corresponding diagram algebra.     

Properties of multilevel block -circulants

In a previous paper we characterized unilevel block α-circulants , , 0mn-1, in terms of the discrete Fourier transform of , defined by . We showed that most theoretical and computational problems concerning A can be conveniently studied in terms of corresponding problems concerning the Fourier coefficients F₀,F₁,…,F_n-1 individually. In this paper we show that analogous results hold for (k+1)-level matrices, where the first k levels have block circulant structure and the entries at the (k+1)-st level are unstructured rectangular matrices.     

On the Brown–Shields conjecture for cyclicity in the Dirichlet space

Let be the Dirichlet space, namely the space of holomorphic functions on the unit disk whose derivative is square-integrable. We establish a new sufficient condition for a function to be cyclic, i.e. for to be dense in . This allows us to prove a special case of the conjecture of Brown and Shields that a function is cyclic in iff it is outer and its zero set (defined appropriately) is of capacity zero.     

Generalized rough approximations in

In this paper we will treat a generalization of inner and outer approximations of fuzzy sets, which we will call -inner and -outer approximations respectively ( being any finite set of rational numbers in [0,1]). In particular we will discuss the case of those fuzzy sets which are definable in the logic by means of step functions from the hypercube [0,1]^k and taking value in an arbitrary (finite) subset of . Then, we will show that if a fuzzy set is definable as truth table of a formula of , then both its -inner and -outer approximation are definable as truth table of formulas of . Finally, we will introduce a generalization of abstract approximation spaces and compare our approach with the notion of fuzzy rough set.     

On the sizes of Delaunay meshes

Let be a polyhedral domain occupying a convex volume. We prove that the size of a graded mesh of with bounded vertex degree is within a factor of the size of any Delaunay mesh of with bounded radius-edge ratio. The term depends on the geometry of and it is likely a small constant when the boundaries of are fine triangular meshes. There are several consequences. First, among all Delaunay meshes with bounded radius-edge ratio, those returned by Delaunay refinement algorithms have asymptotically optimal sizes. This is another advantage of meshing with Delaunay refinement algorithms. Second, if no input angle is acute, the minimum Delaunay mesh with bounded radius-edge ratio is not much smaller than any minimum mesh with aspect ratio bounded by a particular constant.
