Associated Primes of the Example of Brenner and Monsky

Recently, Brenner and Monsky found an example of an ideal in a hypersurface ring whose tight closure does not commute with localization, thus answered the localization problem in tight closure theory in the negative. In this article, we use Monsky's calculations to analyze the set of associated primes of the Frobenius powers of this ideal and show that this set is infinite.     

On the fourth-order difference equation for the associated Meixner polynomials

Three equivalent forms of the fourth-order difference equation obeyed by the associated Meixner polynomials (with a nonnegative real association parameter) are derived from a refinement of a recent result due to Letessier et al. (1996).     

Über Die Assoziierten Primideale des Bidualen

Let (R, 𝔪) be a commutative, noetherian, local ring, E the injective hull of the residue field R/𝔪, and M ^○○ = Hom _R (Hom _R (M, E), E) the bidual of an R-module M. We investigate the elements of Ass(M ^○○) as well as those of Coatt(M) = {𝔭 ∈ Spec(R)|𝔭 = Ann _R (Ann _M (𝔭))} and provide criteria for equality in one of the two inclusions Ass(M) ? Ass(M ^○○) ? Coatt(M). If R is a Nagata ring and M a minimax module, i.e., an extension of a finitely generated R-module by an artinian R-module, we show that Ass(M ^○○) = Ass(M) ∪ {𝔭 ∈ Coatt(M)| R/𝔭 is incomplete}.     

Local polynomial fitting under association

We consider the estimation of multivariate regression functions r(x₁,…,x_d) and their partial derivatives up to a total order p1 using high-order local polynomial fitting. The processes {Y_i,X_i} are assumed to be (jointly) associated. Joint asymptotic normality is established for the estimates of the regression function r and all its partial derivatives up to the total order p. Expressions for the bias and variance/covariance matrix (of the asymptotic distribution) are given.     

Molar excess free energy of mixing of 1-propanol or 2-propanol with cyclohexane at 298.15 and 308.15 K in terms of association model with a Flory contribution term

Excess molar Gibbs free energies of mixing for 1-propanol or 2-propanol + cyclohexane over the whole composition range at 298.15 and 308.15 K have been calculated from vapour pressure data measured by static method. The data have been analysed in terms of a Mecke-Kempter association model with a Flory contribution term.     

Matrix analysis for associated consistency in cooperative game theory

Hamiache axiomatized the Shapley value as the unique solution verifying the inessential game property, continuity and associated consistency. Driessen extended Hamiache’s axiomatization to the enlarged class of efficient, symmetric, and linear values. In this paper, we introduce the notion of row (resp. column)-coalitional matrix in the framework of cooperative game theory. The Shapley value as well as the associated game are represented algebraically by their coalitional matrices called the Shapley standard matrix M^Sh and the associated transformation matrix M_λ, respectively. We develop a matrix approach for Hamiache’s axiomatization of the Shapley value. The associated consistency for the Shapley value is formulated as the matrix equality M^Sh = M^Sh · M_λ. The diagonalization procedure of M_λ and the inessential property for coalitional matrices are fundamental tools to prove the convergence of the sequence of repeated associated games as well as its limit game to be inessential. In addition, a similar matrix approach is applicable to study Driessen’s axiomatization of a certain class of linear values. In summary, it is illustrated that matrix analysis is a new and powerful technique for research in the field of cooperative game theory.     

On noncommutative piecewise Noetherian rings

We extend the definition of a piecewise Noetherian ring to the noncommutative case, and investigate various properties of such rings. In particular, we show that a ring with Krull dimension is piecewise Noetherian. Certain fully bounded piecewise Noetherian rings have Gabriel dimension and exhibit the Gabriel correspondence between prime ideals and indecomposable injective modules.     

ASYMPTOTIC NORMALITY OF KERNEL ESTIMATES OF A DENSITY FUNCTION UNDER ASSOCIATION DEPENDENCE

Let {X_n, n≥1} be a strictly stationary sequence of random variables, whichare either associated or negatively associated, f(·) be their common density. In this paper,the author shows a central limit theorem for a kernel estimate of f(·) under certain regularconditions.
