Congruence Pairs of Decomposable MS-Algebras*

In this paper, the authors first introduce the concept of congruence pairs on the class of decomposable MS-algebras generalizing that for principal MS-algebras (see [13]). They show that every congruence relation θ on a decomposable MS-algebra L can be uniquely determined by a congruence pair (θ₁, θ₂), where θ₁ is a congruence on the de Morgan subalgebra L^?? of L and θ₂ is a lattice congruence on the sublattice D(L) of L. They obtain certain congruence pairs of a decomposable MS-algebra L via central elements of L. Moreover, they characterize the permutability of congruences and the strong extensions of decomposable MS-algebras in terms of congruence pairs.     

Mobility and conductivity of ionic and bonded defects in hydrogen-bonded chains with nonlinear interactions

The proton conductivity and the mobility arising from motions of the ionic and bonded defects, in hydrogen-bonded molecular systems are investigated by means of the quantum mechanical method. Our two component model goes beyond the usual classical harmonic interaction by inclusion of a quartic interaction potential between the nearest-neighbor protons. Among the rich variety of soliton patterns obtained in this model, we focus our attention to compact kink (kinkon) solutions to calculate analytically, the mobility of the kinkon-antikinkon pair and the specific electrical-conductivity of the protons transfer in the hydrogen-bonded systems under an externally applied electrical-field through the dynamic equation of the kinkon-antikinkon pair. For ice, the mobility and the electrical conductivity of the proton transfer obtained are about 5.307×10^-7 m²  V^-1  s^-1 and 6.11×10^-4 Ω^-1 m^-1, respectively. The results obtained are in qualitative agreement with experimental data.     

Transcendental lattices of some K 3‐surfaces

In a previous paper, [12], we described six families of K 3‐surfaces (over ?) with Picard‐number 19, and we identified surfaces with Picard‐number 20. In these notes we classify some of the surfaces by computing their transcendental lattices. Moreover, we show that the surfaces with Picard‐number 19 are birational to a Kummer surface which is the quotient of a non‐product type abelian surface by an involution.

Efficient Systolic Array Mapping of FIR Filters Used in PAM-QAM Modulators

This paper presents efficient techniques for mapping FIR filter computation circuits for PAM and QAM modulators onto systolic arrays. The exploitation of the inherent symmetry of these problem instances and the use of Look-Up Tables (L.U.T.) in conjunction with the use of systolic architectures, increases the performance while keeping the VLSI area minimal. Exploiting parallelism and pipelining enhances the throughput and results in linear expandability of the FIR filter with respect to the bit accuracy and to the stage count.     

Capacity and Error Probability for Maximal Ratio Combining Reception over Correlated Nakagami Fading Channels

In this paper, the capacity and error probability of maximal ratio combining (MRC) reception are considered for different modulation schemes over correlated Nakagami fading channels. Based on an equivalent scalar additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel, we derive the characteristic function (CF) and the probability density function (PDF) of the signal to noise ratio for MRC reception over Nakagami fading channels. Using these CF and PDF results, closed form error probability and capacity expressions are obtained for PSK, PAM and QAM modulation.

The topology of spaces of phylogenetic trees with symmetry

Natural Dowling analogues of the complex of phylogenetic trees are studied. Using discrete Morse theory, we find their homotopy types. In the process, the homotopy types of certain subposets of Dowling lattices are determined.     

Dynamics at the interface dividing collective chaotic and synchronized periodic states in a CML

A study is developed focusing the loss of stability of the interface dividing two regions of different spatial patterns on a coupled map lattice using coupling as the parameter guiding the transition. These patterns are constructed over local periodic/chaotic attractors generating regions of synchronized/collective behavior. The discrete feature of the underlying lattice, the anisotropy that stems from such discreteness and its possible change to an isotropic system through coupling with large number of neighbors are also investigated.
