Products of mixed covering arrays of strength two

A covering array CA(N;t,k, v is an N × k array such that every N × t subarray contains all t‐tuples from v symbols at least once, where t is the strength of the array. Covering arrays are used to generate software test suites to cover all t‐sets of component interactions. The particular case when t = 2 (pairwise coverage) has been extensively studied, both to develop combinatorial constructions and to provide effective algorithmic search techniques. In this paper, a simple “cut‐and‐paste” construction is extended to covering arrays in which different columns (factors) admit different numbers of symbols (values); in the process an improved recursive construction for covering arrays with t = 2 is derived. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

ERM learning with unbounded sampling

The learning approach of empirical risk minimization (ERM) is taken for the regression problem in the least square framework. A standard assumption for the error analysis in the literature is the uniform boundedness of the output sampling process. In this paper we abandon this boundedness assumption and conduct error analysis for the ERM learning algorithm with unbounded sampling processes satisfying an increment condition for the moments of the output. The key novelty of our analysis is a covering number argument for estimating the sample error.     

Generating Uniformly Distributed Random 2‐Designs with Block Size 3

Jacobson and Matthews introduced the most hopeful method known for efficiently generating uniformly distributed random Latin squares. Cameron conjectures that the same Markov chain will also generate all of the other generalized 2‐designs with block size 3 uniformly at random. For a generalization of Latin squares, we give an affirmative result for any admissible parameter values. We also give the first insight and analysis into a generalization of the 1‐factorization of the complete graph by giving an affirmative result for some admissible parameter values. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Latin Squares with Restricted Transversals

The original article to which this erratum refers was correctly published online on 1 December 2011. Due to an error at the publisher, it was then published in Journal of Combinatorial Designs 20: 124–141, 2012 without the required shading in several examples. To correct this, the article is here reprinted in full. The publisher regrets this error. We prove that for all odd there exists a latin square of order 3m that contains an latin subrectangle consisting of entries not in any transversal. We prove that for all even there exists a latin square of order n in which there is at least one transversal, but all transversals coincide on a single entry. A corollary is a new proof of the existence of a latin square without an orthogonal mate, for all odd orders . Finally, we report on an extensive computational study of transversal‐free entries and sets of disjoint transversals in the latin squares of order . In particular, we count the number of species of each order that possess an orthogonal mate. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Combin. Designs 20: 344–361, 2012     

Stochastically perturbed vector-borne disease models with direct transmission

In this paper we study a stochastic epidemic model of vector-borne diseases with direct mode of transmission and its delay modification. More precisely, we extend the deterministic epidemic models by introducing random perturbations around the endemic equilibrium state. By using suitable Lyapunov functions and functionals, we obtain stability conditions for the considered models and study the effect of the delay on the stability of the endemic equilibrium. Finally, numerical simulations for the stochastic model of malaria disease transmission are presented to illustrate our mathematical findings.     

Anti-tori in Square Complex Groups

An anti-torus is a subgroup 〈a,b 〉 in the fundamental group of a compact non-positively curved space X, acting in a specific way on the universal covering space X such that a and b do not have any commuting nontrivial powers. We construct and investigate anti-tori in a class of commutative transitive fundamental groups of finite square complexes, in particular for the groups Γ_p,l originally studied by Mozes [Israel J. Math. 90(1–3) (1995), 253–294]. It turns out that anti-tori in Γ_p,l directly correspond to non commuting pairs of Hamilton quaternions. Moreover, free anti-tori in Γ_p,l are related to free groups generated by two integer quaternions, and also to free subgroups of . As an application, we prove that the multiplicative group generated by the two quaternions 1+2i and 1+4k is not free.     

Exponential square integrability for non-tangential limits of certain smooth functions

Under the assumption of the boundedness of certain operator (resembling Lusin's area function) of a smooth function u that satisfies certain interior regularity property, we prove the exponential square integrability of the boundary values of u.
