The Sigmoidal Transfer Function and the Gain-Threshold Exponential Dependence for Neurons from Statistical Mechanics Treatment

Analogy is used to treat the system of non-interacting integrate-and-fire neurons as an ideal Fermi gas. It allows to obtain the nonlinear gain curve in the form of sigmoid in agreement with biological findings. As the by-product the gain-threshold mechanism in neurons is presented. Surprisingly enough, this is in agreement with new biological findings, too. Besides, the application of this mechanism to the dynamics of neurons leads to the non-monotone transfer function.     

On G 2 Continuous Spline Interpolation of Curves in ℝ d

In this paper the problem of G ² continuous interpolation of curves in ^d by polynomial splines of degree n is studied. The interpolation of the data points and two tangent directions at the boundary is considered. The case n = r + 2 = d, where r is the number of interior points interpolated by each segment of the spline curve, is studied in detail. It is shown that the problem is uniquely solvable asymptotically, e., when the data points are sampled regularly and sufficiently dense, and lie on a regular, convex parametric curve in ^d . In this case the optimal approximation order is also determined.     

Nef Divisors in Codimension One on the Moduli Space of Stable Curves

Let M _g be the moduli space of smooth curves of genus g 3, and M¯ _g the Deligne-Mumford compactification in terms of stable curves. Let M¯ _g ^[1] be an open set of M¯ _g consisting of stable curves of genus g with one node at most. In this paper, we determine the necessary and sufficient condition to guarantee that a -divisor D on M¯ _g is nef over M¯ _g ^[1], that is, (D · C) 0 for all irreducible curves C on M¯ _g with C M¯ _g ^[1] .

Establishment of The Power—Time Curve Equation of Bacterial Growth in the Log Phase

The power-time curves of two species of bacteria, Vibro metschnikovii, Vibro bollisae were determined calorimetrically by using a 2277 bioactivity monitor. The power-time curve equation of bacterial growth in the log phase can be expressed as

Homogeneity and the disjoint arcs property

Some previous results of the author towards a classification of homogeneous metric continua are improved. The disjoint arcs property is fully revealed in this context. In particular, closed -manifolds, , are characterized as those homogeneous continua which do not have the disjoint arcs property.

     

Cyclic torsion of elliptic curves

Let be an elliptic curve over a number field such that

We show that is isogenous to such that . In case has complex multiplication and , we obtain certain criteria whether or not is isogenous to such that .

     

On the Diameter of Plane Curves

Recently, differential geometric properties of embedded projective varieties have gained increasing interest. In this note, we consider plane algebraic curves equipped with the Fubini--Study metric from₂ () and give an estimate for the diameter in terms of the degree, initiated in a paper by F. A. Bogomolov.     

MSE's of prediction in growth curve model with covariance structures

We consider the growth curve model with covariance structures: positive-definite, uniform covariance structure and serial covariance structure. Two types of prediction problems are studied in this paper. One is called the conditional prediction problem and the other is called the extended prediction problem. For both types of prediction problems, the mean squared error for a serial covariance structure is obtained for the estimates based on the conditional expectation: the mean squared error for an unrestricted covariance structure is compared with the mean squared error for a uniform covariance structure or a serial covariance structure. These results are exemplified by two sets of real data.This research was supported in part by Grant-in-Aid for general Scientific Research, The Ministry of Education, Science and Culture under Contract Number 03640239.
