Interplay between four conjectures on certain zero-sum problems

In this paper, we explore the interplay of four different conjectures on certain zero-sum problems in Z_p Z_p. This study of the inter-relations between these conjectures leads to the conclusion that determining the structure of minimal zero sequences (see below for the precise definition) is crucial. Also, we study the analogous situation in Z_n.     

Kalman filtering of a space-time Markov random field

In this paper, finite-dimensional recursive filters for space-time Markov random fields are derived. These filters can be used with the expectation maximization (EM) algorithm to yield maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters of the model.     

Proof of a conjecture on irredundance perfect graphs

Let ir(G) and γ(G) be the irredundance number and the domination number of a graph G, respectively. A graph G is called irredundance perfect if ir(H)=γ(H), for every induced subgraph H of G. In this article we present a result which immediately implies three known conjectures on irredundance perfect graphs. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 41: 292–306, 2002

On f-injective modules

In this paper, the notions of f-injective and f^*-injective modules are introduced. Elementary properties of these modules are given. For instance, a ring R is coherent iff any ultraproduct of f-injective modules is absolutely pure. We prove that the class S^* \Sigma^* of f^*-injective modules is closed under ultraproducts. On the other hand, S^* \Sigma^* is not axiomatisable. For coherent rings R, S^* \Sigma^* is axiomatisable iff every c₀ \chi_0 -injective module is f^*-injective. Further, it is shown that the class S \Sigma of f-injective modules is axiomatisable iff R is coherent and every c₀ \chi_0 -injective module is f-injective. Finally, an f-injective module H, such that every module embeds in an ultraprower of H, is given.     

Unconditional Bases, the Matrix Muckenhoupt Condition, and Carleson Series in a Spectrum

Two families of functions constructed by a system of n scalar Muckenhoupt weights are studied. Criteria are given under which these families are unconditional bases. From the point of view of the spectral operator theory, the problem is reduced to the study of the structure of n-dimensional perturbations of the integration operator. Weighted estimates for the Hilbert transform in the spaces of vector-functions are applied to construct an operator mapping functions of the studied families to vector-valued rational functions. The concept of the Carleson series is used in the study of the following problem: when do vector-valued rational functions form an unconditional basis? Bibliography: 8 titles.
