An Operator Theoretical Approach Towards Systems over the Signal Space \ell_{2}\mathbb{(Z)}

In this paper a system is considered as a (possibly unbounded) linear operator from l₂\mathbb(Z)^m \ell_{2}\mathbb{(Z)}^{m} to l₂\mathbb(Z)^p \ell_{2}\mathbb{(Z)}^{p} . Georgiou and Smith [6] noted that there are intrinsic difficulties in using l₂\mathbb(Z) \ell_{2}\mathbb{(Z)} as underlying signal space, since even a simple causal convolution system is not closed and an extended definition of the system is not causal. We discuss these difficulties and we develop necessary and sufficient conditions for notions such as causality, closability and causal closability.     

Coherently perturbed Milne Universe

The present paper deals with the formulation of Einstein–Gordon equations for Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) geometries, in feedback reaction with the quartically self-interacting physical field, arisen from the “inner parity” spontaneous breaking. The Hamiltonian density non-positive extrema would classically forbid both spatially closed and flat homogeneous and isotropic worlds, if these allow the physical field to (repeatedly) go through and to settle down in a ground state. It turns out that the fixed point exact solutions of the spontaneous Z₂-symmetry breaking Einstein–Gordon equations are describing either anti-de Sitter or Milne Universes. The latter is consistent with the recent gravity lensing and supernova data, which have confirmed the hypothesis of an Universe dominated by dark energy, whose nature is completely unknown at present. Finally, by taking the electroweak symmetry scale to be the Z₂-invariance breaking one, we speculate on the cosmological implications of the Higgs–anti-de Sitter bubbles.     

Solutions of the triangle equations withZ n×Zn-symmetry and matrix analogs of the Weierstrass zeta- and sigma-functions

The matrix analogs of Weierstrass's zeta and sigma functions are introduced. It is proved that in the case ofZ _n×Z_n-symmetry the classical-matrix coincides with the matrix zeta-function, whereas the quantumR-matrix is expressible as a ratio of matrix sigma-functions. The obtained formulas are considered to be the result of averaging over the period lattice.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A.

General shock models with random threshold

A general shock model associated with a correlated pair (X _n ,Y _n ) of renewal sequences is considered. The system fails when the magnitude of the shock exceeds a random threshold Zfollowing exponential law. The distribution of the system failure time T _Z is found and first two moments of T _Z are derived. A class of correlated cumulative shock models is also studied. As an application stochastic clearing system is studied in detail.     

A hierarchy of axiom systemZF

In this paper we develop a sequenceZ ₀, ...,Z _α,... of axiom systems for set theory, such that (1) the consistency of any system within the sequence is provable in its succeeding systems, (2) the first system in the sequence is Zermelo's system Z and the union of all systems in the sequence is justZF. And we prove that for ordinal number α>1, there exists a sequence of ℵ_a+1 axiom systems between systemsZ _α andZ _α+1 such that these systems satisfy the above condition (1).     

$${\mathbb{Z}_2\mathbb{Z}_4}$$-linear codes: rank and kernel

A code C{{\mathcal C}} is \mathbbZ₂\mathbbZ₄{{\mathbb{Z}_2\mathbb{Z}_4}}-additive if the set of coordinates can be partitioned into two subsets X and Y such that the punctured code of C{{\mathcal C}} by deleting the coordinates outside X (respectively, Y) is a binary linear code (respectively, a quaternary linear code). The corresponding binary codes of \mathbbZ₂\mathbbZ₄{{\mathbb{Z}_2\mathbb{Z}_4}}-additive codes under an extended Gray map are called \mathbbZ₂\mathbbZ₄{{\mathbb{Z}_2\mathbb{Z}_4}}-linear codes. In this paper, the invariants for \mathbbZ₂\mathbbZ₄{{\mathbb{Z}_2\mathbb{Z}_4}}-linear codes, the rank and dimension of the kernel, are studied. Specifically, given the algebraic parameters of \mathbbZ₂\mathbbZ₄{{\mathbb{Z}_2\mathbb{Z}_4}}-linear codes, the possible values of these two invariants, giving lower and upper bounds, are established. For each possible rank r between these bounds, the construction of a \mathbbZ₂\mathbbZ₄{{\mathbb{Z}_2\mathbb{Z}_4}}-linear code with rank r is given. Equivalently, for each possible dimension of the kernel k, the construction of a \mathbbZ₂\mathbbZ₄{{\mathbb{Z}_2\mathbb{Z}_4}}-linear code with dimension of the kernel k is given. Finally, the bounds on the rank, once the kernel dimension is fixed, are established and the construction of a \mathbbZ₂\mathbbZ₄{{\mathbb{Z}_2\mathbb{Z}_4}}-linear code for each possible pair (r, k) is given.     

Higher order recurrences for analytical functions of Tchebysheff type

Relation of hyperbolons of volume one to generalized Clifford algebras is described in [1b] and there some applications are listed. In this note which is an extension of [8] we use the one parameter subgroups of the group of hyperbolons of volume one in order to define and investigate generalization of Tchebysheff polynomial system. Parallely functions of roots of polynomials of any degree are studied as possible generalization of symmetric functions considered by Eduard Lucas. It is found how functions of roots of polynomial of any degree are related to this generalization of Tchebysheff polynomials. The relation is explicit. In a primary sense the considered generalization is in passing fromZ ₂ toZ _n group decomposition of the exponential. We end up with an application of the discovered generalization to quite large class of dynamical systems with iteration.     

$${{{\mathbb Z}_2}{{\mathbb Z}_4}}$$ -linear codes: generator matrices and duality

A code C{{\mathcal C}} is \mathbb Z₂\mathbb Z₄{{{\mathbb Z}_2}{{\mathbb Z}_4}} -additive if the set of coordinates can be partitioned into two subsets X and Y such that the punctured code of C{{\mathcal C}} by deleting the coordinates outside X (respectively, Y) is a binary linear code (respectively, a quaternary linear code). In this paper \mathbb Z₂\mathbb Z₄{{{\mathbb Z}_2}{{\mathbb Z}_4}} -additive codes are studied. Their corresponding binary images, via the Gray map, are \mathbb Z₂\mathbb Z₄{{{\mathbb Z}_2}{{\mathbb Z}_4}} -linear codes, which seem to be a very distinguished class of binary group codes. As for binary and quaternary linear codes, for these codes the fundamental parameters are found and standard forms for generator and parity-check matrices are given. In order to do this, the appropriate concept of duality for \mathbb Z₂\mathbb Z₄{{{\mathbb Z}_2}{{\mathbb Z}_4}} -additive codes is defined and the parameters of their dual codes are computed.     

Singular integrals associated to the Laplacian on the affine groupax+b

We consider singular integral operators of the form (a)Z ₁L⁻¹Z₂, (b)Z ₁Z₂L⁻¹, and (c)L ⁻¹Z₁Z₂, whereZ ₁ andZ ₂ are nonzero right-invariant vector fields, andL is theL ²-closure of a canonical Laplacian. The operators (a) are shown to be bounded onL ^p for allp∈(1, ∞) and of weak type (1, 1), whereas all of the operators in (b) and (c) are not of weak type (p, p) for anyp∈[1, ∞).

On minimal decomposition of p-adic polynomial dynamical systems

A polynomial of degree ?2 with coefficients in the ring of p-adic numbers Zp is studied as a dynamical system on Zp. It is proved that the dynamical behavior of such a system is totally described by its minimal subsystems. For an arbitrary quadratic polynomial on Z₂, we exhibit all its minimal subsystems.     

Cobordism of immersions of surfaces¶in non-orientable 3-manifolds

Some properties of non-orientable 3-manifolds are shown. In particular, for a connected, non-orientable 3-manifold M, the group of cobordism clases of immersions of surfaces in M is isomorphic to a group structure on the set H ₂(M,Z/2Z)×H ₁(M,Z/2Z)×Z/2Z.

Cyclic codes over the rings Z 2?+ uZ 2 and Z 2?+ uZ 2?+ u 2 Z 2

In this paper, we study cyclic codes over the rings Z ₂ + uZ ₂ and Z ₂ + uZ ₂ + u ² Z ₂ . We find a set of generators for these codes. The rank, the dual, and the Hamming distance of these codes are studied as well. Examples of cyclic codes of various lengths are also studied.      

On upper continuous and semimodular lattices

Four well known semimodularity conditions are considered: Birkhoff condition, upper semimodularity, MacLane condition,M-symmetry. It is shown that, for upper continuous strongly atomic lattices, these conditions are equivalent. It is also shown that, for lower continuous strongly coatomic lattices,M-symmetry and upper semimodularity coincide, but are different from the MacLane condition; this is so even for lower continuous lattices with ACC. An example of a nonalgebraic upper continuous strongly atomic lattice is given.Presented by R. Freese.

QUASIREGULAR TORSION RINGS HAVING ISOMORPHIC ADDITIVE AND CIRCLE COMPOSITION GROUPS

Abstract

We investigate the role played by torsion properties in determining whether or not a commutative quasiregular ring has its additive and circle composition (or adjoint) groups isomorphic. We clarify and extend some results for nil rings, showing, in particular, that an arbitrary torsion nil ring has the isomorphic groups property if and only if the components from its primary decomposition into p-rings do too.

We look at the more specific case of finite rings, extending the work of others to show that a non-trivial ring with the isomorphic groups property can be constructed if the additive group has one of the following groups in its decomposition into cyclic groups: Z₂ ⁿ (for n ≥ 3), Z₂ ⊕ Z₂ ⊕ Z₂, Z₂ ⊕ Z₄, Z₄ ⊕ Z₄, Z _p ⊕ Z _p (for odd primes, p), or Z _p ⁿ (for odd primes, p, and n ≥ 2).

We consider, also, an example of a ring constructed on an infinite torsion group and use a specific case of this to show that the isomorphic groups property is not hereditary.     

Hopf bifurcation withD 3 ×D 3-symmetry

A generic Hopf bifurcation involving an eight dimensional center eigenspace is considered for systems possessing aD ₃ ×D ₃-symmetry. This kind of Hopf bifurcation can occur in systems of three interacting groups of oscillators, where each group itself is composed of three individual oscillators. The terminology micro and Macro is introduced here to denote symmetry operations acting on individual oscillators and on the whole groups, respectively. The normal form for the Hopf bifurcation admits 11 distinct periodic solutions with maximal isotropy subgroups. These are classified and their branching-types and stabilities are determined in terms of the cubic and relevant quintic coefficients of the normal form. The symmetry properties of these solutions when only certain Macro variables in the oscillator groups are observed are discussed in the context of the remaining symmetry. Furthermore, the relation of the normal form to the corresponding one for a singleD ₃-symmetry is established by restricting the system to four dimensional fixed point subspaces associated with submaximal isotropy subgroups. Based on this information the possibility of quasiperiodic solutions and of a particular class of heteroclinic cycles is discussed.Dedicated to Prof. Klaus Kirchgässner on the occasion of his 60th birthday     

On finite 2-groups of the type $ {\mathbb{Z}_2} \wr G $

A wreath product of the type \mathbbZ₂ \wr G {\mathbb{Z}_2} \wr G is considered for any finite 2-group G. The monomorphism of such a group in the well-known Kaloujnine group P _2,m is studied for a suitable natural m.     

Duadic Z4-Codes

The structure of abelian Z₄-codes (and more generally Z_p^m-codes) is studied. The approach is spectral: discrete Fourier transform and idempotents. A criterion for self-duality is derived. An arithmetic test on the length for the existence of nontrivial abelian self-dual codes is derived. A natural generalization of both the supplemented quadratic residue codes and the binary duadic codes is introduced. Isodual abelian Z₄ codes are considered, constructed, and used to produce 4-modular lattices.     

Inference on superimposed subcritical Galton-Watson processes with immigration

Summary In this paper we consider the superimposed processZ generated by two independent subcritical Galton-Watson processesX ₁ andX ₂, with immigration, by the relationZ=X ₁ +X ₂. The seemingly second order autoregressive relation, that is identified inZ, is exploted towards proposing CAN estimators for the parameters ofZ,X ₁ andX ₂, based on only a partial realisation ofZ, using time series techniques. The results of this paper are motivated by a time series approach for studying specific branching processes due to Venkataraman (1982,Adv. Appl. Prob.,14, 1–20).     

A two-fluid storage model with Lévy inputs and alternating outputs

In this paper we consider a storage model with two types of inputs and outputs that are subject to seasonal switching. Inputs are assumed to occur in a fluid fashion whereas outputs occur at a unit rate so long as the corresponding storage is non-empty. The distribution properties of the storage levels {Z ₁(t),Z ₂(t)} are derived at finite time as well as in stationary regime. We first investigate this process embedded at the successive switching points. This process is Markovian with independent components. In continuous time the components {Z ₁(t),Z ₂(t)} are also independent for each finite t, but are dependent in stationary regime.
