Root Systems and Length Functions

We introduce root systems for those imprimitive complex reflection groups which are generated by involutory reflections, and study the associated length functions. These have many properties in common with the usual length functions for finite Weyl groups.

Testing for cointegration using induced-order statistics

In this paper we explore the usefulness of induced-order statistics in the characterization of integrated series and of cointegration relationships. We propose a non-parametric test statistic for testing the null hypothesis of two independent random walks against wide cointegrating alternatives including monotonic nonlinearities and certain types of level shifts in the cointegration relationship. We call our testing device the induced-order Kolmogorov–Smirnov cointegration test (KS), since it is constructed from the induced-order statistics of the series, and we derive its limiting distribution. This non-parametric statistic endows the test with a number of desirable properties: invariance to monotonic transformations of the series, and robustness for the presence of important parameter shifts. By Monte Carlo simulations we analyze the small sample properties of this test. Our simulation results show the robustness of the induced order cointegration test against departures from linear and constant parameter models. This paper is an extension of the work of Aparicio and Granger (1995) and Aparicio and Escribano (1998).     

Generalized cluster complexes via quiver representations

We give a quiver representation theoretic interpretation of generalized cluster complexes defined by Fomin and Reading. Using d-cluster categories defined by Keller as triangulated orbit categories of (bounded) derived categories of representations of valued quivers, we define a d-compatibility degree (−∥−) on any pair of “colored” almost positive real Schur roots which generalizes previous definitions on the noncolored case and call two such roots compatible, provided that their d-compatibility degree is zero. Associated to the root system Φ corresponding to the valued quiver, using this compatibility relation, we define a simplicial complex which has colored almost positive real Schur roots as vertices and d-compatible subsets as simplices. If the valued quiver is an alternating quiver of a Dynkin diagram, then this complex is the generalized cluster complex defined by Fomin and Reading.

Zero-free regions for multivariate Tutte polynomials (alias Potts-model partition functions) of graphs and matroids

The chromatic polynomial P_G(q) of a loopless graph G is known to be non-zero (with explicitly known sign) on the intervals (−∞,0), (0,1) and (1,32/27]. Analogous theorems hold for the flow polynomial of bridgeless graphs and for the characteristic polynomial of loopless matroids. Here we exhibit all these results as special cases of more general theorems on real zero-free regions of the multivariate Tutte polynomial Z_G(q,v). The proofs are quite simple, and employ deletion–contraction together with parallel and series reduction. In particular, they shed light on the origin of the curious number 32/27.     

The exact number of solutions for the second order nonlinear boundary value problem

A second order nonlinear differential equation with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions is considered. An explicit expression for the root functions for an autonomous nonlinear boundary value problem is obtained using the results of the paper [SOMORA, P.: The lower bound of the number of solutions for the second order nonlinear boundary value problem via the root functions method, Math. Slovaca 57 (2007), 141–156]. Other assumptions are supposed to prove the monotonicity of root functions and to get the exact number of solutions. The existence of infinitely many solutions of the boundary value problem with strong nonlinearity is obtained by the root function method as well. The paper was supported by the Grant VEGA No. 2/7140/27, Bratislava.     

High-pressure phase equilibria for chlorosilane + carbon dioxide mixtures

Fluid-phase equilibria, including dew points, bubble points, and critical points were measured for four binary systems composed of a chlorosilane and carbon dioxide. The measurements were carried out in a constant-composition, variable-volume cell equipped with a sapphire window, which allowed visual observation of the phases in the cell. A syringe pump was used to inject the CO₂ into the cell and to control its pressure. Methyltrichlorosilane, dimethyldichlorosilane, trimethylchlorosilane, and diethyldichlorosilane up to about 0.14 mol fraction were studied in this apparatus and a total of 243 phase-boundary points were obtained. Displacements in the critical point with respect to pure CO₂ of up to 11.81 MPa and 348.05 K were observed. Modeling of the fluid-phase equilibria for three of the four binary systems was done using the Peng–Robinson equation of state, standard van der Waals mixing rules with two binary interaction parameters, and a φ–φ formulation of the equilibrium. The binary interaction parameters were obtained by fitting the model to the experimental data. The model produced excellent agreement between computed and experimental data. Graphical representations of the modeling results are presented and compared to experimental results. The results indicate that the largest chlorosilane (diethyldichlorosilane) produced the largest shift in critical pressure and critical temperature with respect to pure CO₂.
