Optimal tristance anticodes in certain graphs

For z₁,z₂,z₃∈Zⁿ, the tristance d₃(z₁,z₂,z₃) is a generalization of the L₁-distance on Zⁿ to a quantity that reflects the relative dispersion of three points rather than two. A tristance anticodeA_d of diameter d is a subset of Zⁿ with the property that d₃(z₁,z₂,z₃)?d for all z₁,z₂,z₃∈A_d. An anticode is optimal if it has the largest possible cardinality for its diameter d. We determine the cardinality and completely classify the optimal tristance anticodes in Z² for all diameters d?1. We then generalize this result to two related distance models: a different distance structure on Z² where d(z₁,z₂)=1 if z₁,z₂ are adjacent either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, and the distance structure obtained when Z² is replaced by the hexagonal lattice A₂. We also investigate optimal tristance anticodes in Z³ and optimal quadristance anticodes in Z², and provide bounds on their cardinality. We conclude with a brief discussion of the applications of our results to multi-dimensional interleaving schemes and to connectivity loci in the game of Go.     

An entropy-based uncertainty principle for a locally compact abelian group

We classify all functions on a locally compact, abelian group giving equality in an entropy inequality generalizing the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. In particular, for functions on a real line, we proof a conjecture of Hirschman published in 1957.     

Detailed Description of Mixed Symmetry States in 94Mo Using Interacting Boson Model

We have investigated the low-lying collective states and electromagnetic transitions in 94Mo within the framework of the interacting boson model. The influence of model parameters on the energy levels and electromagnetic properties has been investigated. The analysis of the obtained results and the parameter values predict that the 23+state is the lowest mixed symmetry state with pure F = Fmax - 1 in this nucleus. The calculated results predicate that the 25+ (two-Q-phonon) mixed symmetry state is closed to the J = 2+ at 2.870 MeV in the experimental data, and the 2.965 MeV state is the lowest mixed symmetry with J = 3+.     

Complete caps in projective spaces PG (n, q)

A computer search in the finite projective spaces PG(n, q) for the spectrum of possible sizes k of complete k-caps is done. Randomized greedy algorithms are applied. New upper bounds on the smallest size of a complete cap are given for many values of n and q. Many new sizes of complete caps are obtained.     

Proof of a conjecture on the supports of Wigner distributions

In this note we prove that the Wigner distribution of an f ∈ L₂(ℝ_n) cannot be supported by a set of finite measure in ℝ_2n unless f=0. We prove a corresponding statement for cross-ambiguity functions. As a strengthening of the conjecture we show that for an f ∈ L₂(ℝ_n) its Wigner distribution has a support of measure 0 or ∞ in any half-space of ℝ_2n.     

Measures of inset information on the open domain — I: Inset entropies and information functions of all degrees

This is one in a series of papers studying measures of information in the so-called mixed theory of information (i.e. considering the events as well as their probabilities) on the open domain (i.e. without empty sets and zero probabilities). In this paper we find all-recursive, 3-semisymmetric inset entropies on the open domain. We do this by solving the fundamental equation of inset information of degree () on the open domain.Dedicated to Professor János Aczél on his 60th birthday.     

Why is space three-dimensional and how may groups be seen?

First we propose a model of visual perception essentially based on the Keldysh-Chernavsky-Sossinsky three-channel theorem, from which three-dimensionality of space follows. Second, we associate with a system of subgroups H ₁, ..., H_s of a given group G a geometric object, called a group crystal, in order to visualize G. How this notion works is illustrated via the Burnside problem.     

The raised-cosine wavelets in computerized tomography

In Computerized Tomography (CT), an image must be recovered from its sampled projections in the form of values of the Radon transform. In this work a method of recovering the image is based on the properties of the raised-cosine wavelet. This wavelet has a closed form which allows for certain precomputations and avoids convolution. The rate of convergence of the resulting algorithm to the image density function is found under suitable hypotheses. This algorithm is then tested on the standard Shepp–Logan     

On reconstruction of objects from measurements of the diffracted field (*)

The aim of this paper is the shape restoration of a plane object from measurements of its diffracted field at a discrete and finite set of points. The plane sampling lattice is supposed: i) rectangular; ii)periodic.

The problem is approached as an interpolation one. A numerical algorithm for practical reconstructions is presented. A-priori limitations on the perimeter of the object and conditions on the samples lead to a-priori bounds able to estimate the precision of the reconstruction.
