Schur positivity and log-concavity related to longest increasing subsequences

Chen proposed a conjecture on the log-concavity of the generating function for the symmetric group with respect to the length of longest increasing subsequences of permutations. Motivated by Chen’s log-concavity conjecture, Bóna, Lackner and Sagan further studied similar problems by restricting the whole symmetric group to certain of its subsets. They obtained the log-concavity of the corresponding generating functions for these subsets by using the hook-length formula. In this paper, we generalize and prove their results by establishing the Schur positivity of certain symmetric functions. This also enables us to propose a new approach to Chen’s original conjecture.     

Self-similar propagation region in passive optical fibers based on low-order approximation

For the first time, we numerically demonstrate that similaritons in passive fibers can only propagate with parabolic profile without oscillations in a limited self-similar propagation region when low-order approximation is applied. Dispersion-decreasing fiber (DDF) and nonlinearity increasing fiber (NIF) are used here to generate self-similar pulse in different passive ways. Moreover, we put forward several self-similar features to judge effective similariton propagation and determine self-similar region by numerical simulations and waveform observation. Finally we compare in DDF and NIF the dependence of these regions on incident pulse and fiber parameters in order to obtain parabolic similariton more effectively and steadily. These results extend the low-order propagation properties in passive fibers and are beneficial for the generation of high-quality similariton pulse by parameter selection in experimental studies and practical applications.     

Triples of arrangements and local systems

For a triple of complex hyperplane arrangements, there is a well-known long exact sequence relating the cohomology of the complements. We observe that this result extends to certain local coefficient systems, and use this extension to study the characteristic varieties of arrangements. We show that the first characteristic variety may contain components that are translated by characters of any order, thereby answering a question of A. Suciu.

     

Characterization of rankings generated by linear discriminant analysis

Pairwise linear discriminant analysis can be regarded as a process to generate rankings of the populations. But in general, not all rankings are generated. We give a characterization of generated rankings. We also derive some basic properties of this model.     

On exponential scores statistics for testing against positive aging

It has been shown in this paper that a test proposed by Barlow and Doksum (1972) based on the exponential scores statistic for testing exponentiality against increasing failure rate distributions is consistent for the much wider class of harmonic new better than used in expectation distributions.

General Construction of Non-Dense Disjoint Iteration Groups on the Circle

Let be a disjoint iteration group on the unit circle , that is a family of homeomorphisms such that F ^v1 ○ F ^v2 = F ^v1+v2 for v ₁, v ₂ ∈ V and each F ^v either is the identity mapping or has no fixed point ((V, +) is a 2-divisible nontrivial Abelian group). Denote by the set of all cluster points of {F ^v (z), v ∈ V} for . In this paper we give a general construction of disjoint iteration groups for which .     

Law of large numbers for increasing subsequences of random permutations

Let the random variable Z_n,k denote the number of increasing subsequences of length k in a random permutation from S_n, the symmetric group of permutations of {1,…,n}. We show that Var(Z) = o((EZ)²) as n → ∞ if and only if . In particular then, the weak law of large numbers holds for Z if ; that is, We also show the following approximation result for the uniform measure U_n on S_n. Define the probability measure μ on S_n by where U denotes the uniform measure on the subset of permutations that contain the increasing subsequence {x₁,x₂,…,x}. Then the weak law of large numbers holds for Z if and only if where ∣∣˙∣∣ denotes the total variation norm. In particular then, (*) holds if . In order to evaluate the asymptotic behavior of the second moment, we need to analyze occupation times of certain conditioned two‐dimensional random walks. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

On active redundancy allocation for coherent systems—from the viewpoint of minimal cut decomposition

This paper deals with coherent systems with one active redundancy. For systems with the subclass of minimal cuts associated with one component covering that of another, assigning the redundancy to the former component is proved to bring forth a more reliable redundant system. As for symmetric systems with lower tail permutation decreasing component lifetimes, allocating the redundancy to the less reliable component results in a longer system lifetime. Several numerical examples are also presented to illustrate the new findings.
