Spectral-Null Codes and Null Spaces of Hadamard Submatrices

Codes of length 2 ^m over {1, -1} are defined as null spaces of certain submatrices of Hadamard matrices. It is shown that the codewords of all have an rth order spectral null at zero frequency. Establishing the connection between and the parity-check matrix of Reed-Muller codes, the minimum distance of is obtained along with upper bounds on the redundancy of . An efficient algorithm is presented for encoding unconstrained binary sequences into .     

Interior Layers for Second-Order Singular Equations

Our aim in this article is to study singularly perturbed problems which display boundary layers in the interior of the domain. These interior boundary layers which supplement the usual boundary layers at the boundary, are generated by discontinuities in the data. Second-order linear elliptic one-dimensional and multi-dimensional problems are considered in this article.     

A Gap in GRM Code Weight Distributions

The weight distribution of GRM (generalized Reed-Muller) codes is unknown in general. This article describes and applies some new techniques to the codes over F3. Specifically, we decompose GRM codewords into words from smaller codes and use this decomposition, along with a projective geometry technique, to relate weights occurring in one code with weights occurring in simpler codes. In doing so, we discover a new gap in the weight distribution of many codes. In particular, we show there is no word of weight 3^m–2 in GRM₃(4,m) for m>6, and for even-order codes over the ternary field, we show that under certain conditions, there is no word of weight d+, where d is the minimum distance and is the largest integer dividing all weights occurring in the code.     

Partial permutation decoding for the first-order Reed-Muller codes

Partial permutation decoding is shown to apply to the first-order Reed-Muller codes R(1,m), where m>4 by finding s-PD-sets for these codes for 2≤s≤4.     

Frame expansions in separable Banach spaces

Banach frames are defined by straightforward generalization of (Hilbert space) frames. We characterize Banach frames (and Xd-frames) in separable Banach spaces, and relate them to series expansions in Banach spaces. In particular, our results show that we can not expect Banach frames to share all the nice properties of frames in Hilbert spaces.     

Pion mass dependence of the nucleon mass in the chiral quark soliton model

The dependence of the nucleon mass on the mass of the pion is studied in the framework of the chiral quark-soliton model. A remarkable agreement is observed with lattice data from recent full dynamical simulations. The possibility and limitations to use the results from the chiral quark soliton model as a guideline for the chiral extrapolation of lattice data are discussed.     

GF（4）上RM展式系数转换的高效算法

在二值和多值逻辑研究中,最常用的两种函数表达式是基于格代数的SOP表达式和基于Galois域的Reed-Muller展式(RM展式)。由RM展式实现的电路由于具有故障诊断容易和线性运算功能,因而在可靠性设计、编码理论和数字通信中得到了广泛的应用。然而,RM展式系数向量不象SOP表达式那样与函数值向量有直接对应关系,因此RM展式系数向     

Sets of disjoint snakes based on a Reed-Muller code and covering the hypercube

A snake-in-the-box code (or snake) of word length n is a simple circuit in an n-dimensional cube Q _n , with the additional property that any two non-neighboring words in the circuit differ in at least two positions. To construct such snakes a straightforward, non-recursive method is developed based on special linear codes with minimum distance 4. An extension of this method is used for the construction of covers of Q _n consisting of 2 ^m-1 vertex-disjoint snakes, for 2 ^m-1 < n ≤ 2 ^m . These covers turn out to have a symmetry group of order 2 ^m .      

On a completeness property of series expansions of bivariate densities

Random processes passed through zero memory nonlinearities are considered in terms of the preservation of mean square continuity. Then, series expansions of bivariate densities in orthonormal functions are treated, under the assumption that the bivariate density is associated with a first order stationary random process. It is shown that, if the random process is mean square continuous, then the orthonormal functions in the series expansion must be complete.
