Generalized z-Distributions and Related Stochastic Processes

The class of generalized z–distributions is defined and their properties are investigated. Ornstein–Uhlenbeck–type and self–similar generalized z–processes are constructed and described. Esscher transforms of the generalized z–processes and the mixed generalized z–processes are characterized. Finally, construction and some properties of generalized z–diffusions are also discussed.     

New Cyclic Difference Sets with Singer Parameters Constructed from d-Homogeneous Functions

In this paper, for a prime power q, new cyclic difference sets with Singer para- meters ((q ⁿ –1/q–1), (q ^n–1–1/q–1), (q ^n–2–1/q–1)) are constructed by using q-ary sequences (d-homogeneous functions) of period q ⁿ –1 and the generalization of GMW difference sets is proposed by combining the generation methods of d-form sequences and extended sequences. When q is a power of 3, new cyclic difference sets with Singer parameters ((q ⁿ –1/q–1), (q ^n–1–1/q–1), (q ^n–2–1/q–1)) are constructed from the ternary sequences of period q ⁿ –1 with ideal autocorrelation introduced by Helleseth, Kumar, and Martinsen.     

On Ginzburg's Bivariant Chern Classes, II

For a morphism whose target variety is nonsingular, the Chern–Schwartz–MacPherson class homomorphism followed by capping with the pullback of the Segre class of the target variety is called the Ginzburg–Chern class. In this paper, using the Verdier–Riemann–Roch for Chern Class, we show that the correspondence assigning to a bivariant constructible function on any morphism with nonsingular target variety the Ginzburg–Chern class of it is the unique Grothendieck transformation satisfying the 'normalization condition' that for morphisms to a point it becomes the Chern–Schwartz–MacPherson class homomorphism, except for that the bivariant homology pullback is considered only for a smooth morphism.     

An Expansion Formula for the Askey–Wilson Function

The Askey–Wilson function transform is a q-analogue of the Jacobi function transform with kernel given by an explicit non-polynomial eigenfunction of the Askey–Wilson second order q-difference operator. The kernel is called the Askey–Wilson function. In this paper an explicit expansion formula for the Askey–Wilson function in terms of Askey–Wilson polynomials is proven. With this expansion formula at hand, the image under the Askey–Wilson function transform of an Askey–Wilson polynomial multiplied by an analogue of the Gaussian is computed explicitly. As a special case of these formulas a q-analogue (in one variable) of the Macdonald–Mehta integral is obtained, for which also two alternative, direct proofs are presented.     

Dynamic Robust Output Min–Max Control for Discrete Uncertain Systems

Min–max control is a robust control, which guarantees stability in the presence of matched uncertainties. The basic min–max control is a static state feedback law. Recently, the applicability conditions of discrete static min–max control through the output have been derived. In this paper, the results for output static min–max control are further extended to a class of output dynamic min–max controllers, and a general parametrization of all such controllers is derived. The dynamic output min–max control is shown to exist in many circumstances under which the output static min–max control does not exist, and usually allows for broader bounds on uncertainties. Another family of robust output min–max controllers, constructed from an asymptotic observer which is insensitive to uncertainties and a state min–max control, is derived. The latter is shown to be a particular case of the dynamic min–max control when the nominal system has no zeros at the origin. In the case where the insensitive observer exists, it is shown that the observer-controller has the same stability properties as those of the full state feedback min–max control.     

The Hirota’s bilinear method and the tanh–coth method for multiple-soliton solutions of the Sawada–Kotera–Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation

In this work we derive a new completely integrable dispersive equation. The equation is obtained by combining the Sawada–Kotera (SK) equation with the sense of the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equation. The newly derived Sawada–Kotera–Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (SK–KP) equation is studied by using the tanh–coth method, to obtain single-soliton solution, and by the Hirota bilinear method, to determine the N-soliton solutions. The study highlights the significant features of the employed methods and its capability of handling completely integrable equations.     

Studying Baskakov–Durrmeyer operators and quasi-interpolants via special functions

We prove that the kernels of the Baskakov–Durrmeyer and the Szász–Mirakjan–Durrmeyer operators are completely monotonic functions. We establish a Bernstein type inequality for these operators and apply the results to the quasi-interpolants recently introduced by Abel. For the Baskakov–Durrmeyer quasi-interpolants, we give a representation as linear combinations of the original Baskakov–Durrmeyer operators and prove an estimate of Jackson–Favard type and a direct theorem in terms of an appropriate K-functional.     

Conservation laws for Camassa–Holm equation, Dullin–Gottwald–Holm equation and generalized Dullin–Gottwald–Holm equation

In this paper we construct the conservation laws for the Camassa–Holm equation, the Dullin–Gottwald–Holm equation (DGH) and the generalized Dullin–Gottwald–Holm equation (generalized DGH). The variational derivative approach is used to derive the conservation laws. Only first order multipliers are considered. Two multipliers are obtained for the Camassa–Holm equation. For the DGH and generalized DGH equations the variational derivative approach yields two multipliers; thus two conserved vectors are obtained.     

On a Generalized Class of Minimax Inequalities

Some results on a generalized class of minimax inequalities based on the r–I–G–H-KKM mapping theorems in a G–H-space setting are presented. The r–I–G–H-KKM mappings represent a new class of KKM mappings in G–H-spaces as well as in the interval spaces.     

A Family of Semi-Regular Divisible Difference Sets

We give a construction of semi-regular divisible difference sets with parametersm = p2a(r–1)+2b (pr – 1)/(p – 1), n = pr, k = p(2a+1)(r–1)+2b (pr – 1)/(p – 1)1 = p(2a+1)(r–1)+2b (pr–1 – 1)/(p-1), 2 = p2(a+1)(r–1)–r+2b (pr – 1)/(p – 1)where p is a prime and r a + 1.     

A novel cryptosystem based on grey system theory and genetic algorithm

In this paper, we first attempt to introduce the biological concepts of genetic factor and genetic variation into the study of a Kaleidoscope–Queer (in brief, K–Q) cryptosystem. The novel K–Q cryptosystem including the genetic factor, (GM, X, λ(x)), can be applied to ensure the security of an information system. The main contributions include the K–Q cryptosystem concept with genetic factor, the existence theorem of -era K–Q cryptosystem with genetic factor, the limited embedded theorem of K–Q cryptosystem with genetic factor, and the genetic variability theorem of K–Q cryptosystem.     

A Clifford–Finslerian physical unification and fractal dynamics

A Clifford–Finslerian physical unification is proposed based on Clifford–Finslerian mathematical structures and three physical principles. In the Clifford–Finslerian mathematical structure, spontaneous symmetry breaking is automatically embedded in fractal branches. With the action principle, connection principle and computation principle, physics can be unified, in which the Riemman–Einstein system and Euclid–Newton system are naturally included when quaternion are reduced to complex and real phases.     

On left C-wrpp semigroups

It is known that a C–rpp semigroup can be described as a strong semilattice of left cancellative monoids. In this paper, we introduce the class of left C–wrpp semigroups which includes the class of left C–rpp semigroups as a subclass. We shall particularly show that the semi-spined product of a left regular band and a C–wrpp semigroup forms a curler which is a left C–wrpp semigroup and vice versa. Results obtained by Fountain and Tang on C–rpp semigroups are extended and strengthened.     

On the Huang Class of Variable Metric Methods

Several authors have created one-parameter families of variable metric methods for function minimization. These families contain the methods known as Davidon–Fletcher–Powell, Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno, and symmetric rank one. It is shown here that the same one-parameter families of methods are obtained from the Huang update by requiring the update to be symmetric.     

Geometric Properties of Symmetric Spaces with Applications to Orlicz–Lorentz Spaces

We deal with the basic convexity properties –rotundity, and uniform, local uniform and full rotundity –- for symmetric spaces. A characterization of Orlicz–Lorentz spaces with the Kadec–Klee property for pointwise convergence is given. These results are applied to obtain criteria of convexity properties for Orlicz–Lorentz sequence spaces, and some new proofs of the sufficiency part of criteria for rotundity and uniform rotundity for Orlicz–Lorentz function spaces.

Complexity of the min–max (regret) versions of min cut problems

This paper investigates the complexity of the min–max and min–max regret versions of the min s–t cut and min cut problems. Even if the underlying problems are closely related and both polynomial, the complexities of their min–max and min–max regret versions, for a constant number of scenarios, are quite contrasted since they are respectively strongly NP-hard and polynomial. However, for a non-constant number of scenarios, these versions become strongly NP-hard for both problems. In the interval scenario case, min–max versions are trivially polynomial. Moreover, for min–max regret versions, we obtain the same contrasted results as for a constant number of scenarios: min–max regret min s–t cut is strongly NP-hard whereas min–max regret min cut is polynomial.     

Ultratertiary Quantization of Thermodynamics

We show that if the Dirac–Bogoliubov rule for replacing the bosonic creation and annihilation operators with the c-numbers is used, then the ultratertiary quantization allows obtaining the Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer–Bogoliubov formulas.     

Estimation for a class of generalized state-space time series models

State-space models with exponential and conjugate exponential family densities are introduced. Examples include Poisson–Gamma, Binomial–Beta, Gamma–Gamma and Normal–Normal processes. Maximum likelihood and quasilikelihood estimators and their properties are discussed. Results from a simulation study for the Poisson–Gamma model are reported.     

On the existence of certain cyclic difference families and difference matrices

A theorem is proved to the effect that if there exists a BIB-schema with parameters (p^m–1,k, k–1), where k¦(p^m–1), p is prime, and m is a natural number, then there exists a BIB-schema (p^mn–1),k, k–1). A consequence is the existnece of a cyclic BIB-schema (p^mn–1, p^m–1, p^m–2) (p^m–1 is prime) that specifies each ordered pair of difference elements at any distance = 1, 2, ..., p^m–2 (cyclically) precisely once. Recursive theorems on the existence of difference matrices and (v, k, k)-difference families in the group Z_v of residue classes mod v are proved, along with a theorem on difference families in an additive abelian group.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 52, No. 1, pp. 114–119, July, 1992.
