In this paper we show that the agglomeration of rows or columns of a contingency table with a hierarchical clustering algorithm yields statistical models defined through toric ideals. In particular, starting from the classical independence model, the agglomeration process adds a linear part to the toric ideal generated by the $2 \times 2$ minors.

In this paper we investigate Gaussian risk models which include financial elements such as inflation and interest rates. For some general models for inflation and interest rates, we obtain an asymptotic expansion of the finite-time ruin probability for Gaussian risk models. Furthermore, we derive an approximation of the conditional ruin time by an exponentia

This papers shows the convergence of optimal control problems where the constraint function is discretised by a particle method. In particular, we investigate the viscous Burgers equation in the whole space $\mathbb R$ by using distributional particle approximations. The continuous optimisation problem is derived and investigated. Then, the discretisation of

We show evidence, based on extensive and carefully performed numerical experiments, that the system of two elastic hard-point masses in one-dimension is not ergodic for a generic mass ratio and consequently does not follow the principle of energy equipartition. This system is equivalent to a right triangular billiard. Remarkably, following the time-dependent

Image fusion is one of the recent trends in image registration which is an essential field of image processing. The basic principle of this paper is to fuse multi-focus images using simple statistical standard deviation. Firstly, the simple standard deviation for the k-by-k window inside each of the multi-focus images was computed. The contribution in this p

We introduce a new family of billiards which break time reversal symmetry in spite of having piece-wise straight trajectories. We show that our billiards preserve the ergodic and mixing properties of conventional billiards while they may turn into exponential the power law decay of correlations characteristic of Sinai type billiards. Such billiards can be im

Central place systems have been demonstrated to possess self-similar patterns in both the theoretical and empirical perspectives. A central place fractal can be treated as a monofractal with a single scaling process. However, in the real world, a system of human settlements is a complex network with multi-scaling processes. The simple fractal central place m

Albeit the implicit feedback based recommendation problem - when only the user history is available but there are no ratings - is the most typical setting in real-world applications, it is much less researched than the explicit feedback case. State-of-the-art algorithms that are efficient on the explicit case cannot be automatically transformed to the implic

Finite difference schemes in the spatial variable for degenerate stochastic parabolic PDEs are investigated. Sharp results on the rate of $L_p$ and almost sure convergence of the finite difference approximations are presented and results on Richardson extrapolation are established for stochastic parabolic schemes under smoothness assumptions.

The effects of global climate change on Peruvian glaciers have brought about several processes of deglaciation during the last few years. The immediate effect is the change of size of lakes and rivers. Public institutions that monitor water resources currently have only recent studies which make up less than 10% of the total. The effects of climate change an

Horizontal Lagrangian velocities and accelerations at the surface of steep water-waves are studied by Particle Tracking Velocimetry (PTV) for gradually increasing crest heights up to the inception of a spilling breaker. Localized steep waves are excited using wavemaker-generated Peregrine breather-type wave trains. Actual crest and phase velocities are estim

Molecular motors are involved in key transport processes inside actin-based cellular protrusions. The motors carry cargo proteins to the protrusion tip which participate in regulating the actin polymerization, and play a key role in facilitating the growth and formation of such protrusions. It is observed that the motors accumulate at the tips of cellular pr

We performed an observational study of the relation between the interstellar magnetic field alignment and star formation in twenty (20) sky regions containing Bok Globules. The presence of young stellar objects in the globules is verified by a search of infrared sources with spectral energy distribution compatible with a pre main-sequence star. The interstel

In this paper we describe how MAP inference can be used to sample efficiently from Gibbs distributions. Specifically, we provide means for drawing either approximate or unbiased samples from Gibbs' distributions by introducing low dimensional perturbations and solving the corresponding MAP assignments. Our approach also leads to new ways to derive lower

This thesis establishes the equivalence of Grayson and Friedlander-Suslin spectral sequences, that was previously only known for the respective E_2-terms. We develop the necessary techniques regarding K_0-presheaves of spectra, building on the work of M. Walker and construct certain filtrations on the K-theory presheaf of spectra that we use as intermediate

We reexamine the charged AdS domain wall solution to the Einstein-Abelian-Higgs model proposed by Gubser et al as holographic superconductors at quantum critical points and comment on their statement about the uniqueness of gravity solutions. We generalize their explorations from 3+1 dimensions to arbitrary $n+1$Ds and find that the $n+1\geqslant5$D charged

Consider a multimodal interval map $f$ of $C^3$ with non-flat critical points. We establish several characterizations of the map $f$ is quasi-symmetrically conjugated to a piecewise affine map in the case $f$ is topologically exact and all of its periodic points are hyperbolic repelling. In particular, we give a negative answer to a question posted by Henk B

We obtain some sufficient conditions for reducibility of a Schlesinger isomonodromic family with the (block) upper-triangular monodromy to the same (block) upper-triangular form via a constant gauge transformation. We also obtain integral representations of hypergeometric type for entries of upper-triangular solutions of the Schlesinger equation.

In this paper, we report the direct chemical synthesis of silicon sheets in gram-scale quantities by chemical exfoliation of pre-processed calcium di-silicide (CaSi2). We have used a combination of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy to characterize the obtained silicon sheets. We found

A neutron scattering investigation of the magnetoelectric coupling in PbFe_{1/2}Nb_{1/2}O_{3} (PFN) has been undertaken. Ferroelectric order occurs below 400 K, as evidenced by the softening with temperature and subsequent recovery of the zone center transverse optic phonon mode energy (\hbar Ω_{0}). Over the same temperature range, magnetic correlations bec

Many hypotheses have been raised to explain the famous Fermi paradox. One of them is that self-replicating probes could have explored the whole Galaxy, including our Solar System, and that they are still to be detected. In this scenario, it is proposed here that probes from neighboring stellar systems could use the stars they orbit as gravitational lenses to

We study the spin nutation effects of the molecular nanomagnet on the Josephson current through a superconductor$|$molecular nanomagnet$|$superconductor tunnel junction.

This paper has the goals (1) of unifying top-down parsing with shift-reduce parsing to yield a single simple and consistent framework, and (2) of producing provably correct parsing methods, deterministic as well as tabular ones, for extended context-free grammars (EBNF) represented as state-transition networks.

In many practical communication systems, one binary encoder/decoder pair is used to communicate over a set of parallel channels. Examples of this setup include multi-carrier transmission, rate-compatible puncturing of turbo-like codes, and bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM). A bit mapper is commonly employed to determine how the coded bits are allocated

The geometric transitions from the evolution in the complex plane of time provide channels for particle production for a quantum field in expanding universes. The production rate for one pair is obtained by squaring and summing the scattering matrix between the in-vacuum and the transported one over all possible independent closed paths of winding number 1.

In this paper we provide in $\bFp$ expanding lower bounds for two variables functions $f(x,y)$ in connection with the product set or the sumset. The sum-product problem has been hugely studied in the recent past. A typical result in $\bFp^*$ is the existenceness of $Δ(α)>0$ such that if $|A|\asymp p^α$ then $$ \max(|A+A|,|A\cdot A|)\gg |A|^{1+Δ(α)}, $$ Our a

We show that for a sufficiently big \textit{brick} $B$ of the $(2n+1)$-dimensional Heisenberg group $H_n$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$, the product set $B\cdot B$ contains at least $|B|/p$ many cosets of some non trivial subgroup of $H_n$.

The graphene moire structures on metals, as they demonstrate both long (moire) and short (atomic) scale ordered structures, are the ideal systems for the application of scanning probe methods. Here we present the complex studies of the graphene/Ir(111) system by means of 3D scanning tunnelling and atomic force microscopy/spectroscopy as well as Kelvin-probe

Motivated by recent experiments reporting Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of light coupled to incoherent dye molecules in a microcavity, we show that due to a dimensionality mismatch between the 2D cavity-photons and the 3D arrangement of molecules, the relevant molecular degrees of freedom are collective Dicke states rather than individual excitations.

Neutrinos are produced in several neutrino nuclear reactions of the proton-proton chain and carbon-nitrogen-oxygen cycle that take place at different radius of the Sun's core. Hence, measurements of solar neutrino fluxes provide a precise determination of the local temperature. The accumulation of non-annihilating light dark matter particles (with masses

Recent observations of solar twin stars with planetary systems like the Sun, have uncovered that these present a peculiar surface chemical composition. This is believed to be related to the formation of earth-like planets. This suggests that twin stars have a radiative interior that is richer in heavy elements than their envelopes. Moreover, the current stan

We combine six measurements of the inclusive top-quark pair (ttbar) production cross section (sigma_ttbar) from data collected with the CDF and D0 detectors at the Fermilab Tevatron with proton anti-proton collisions at sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV. The data correspond to integrated luminosities of up to 8.8 fb^{-1}. We obtain a value of sigma_ttbar = 7.60 \pm 0.41 pb

Using a special case of Askey's $q$-beta integral evaluation formula, we determine orthogonality relations for the Al-Salam--Carlitz polynomials of type II with respect to a family of measures supported on a discrete subset of $\mathbb R$. From spectral analysis of the corresponding second-order $q$-difference operator we obtain an infinite set of functi

Spin orbit coupling plays a non-perturbation effect in many recently developed novel fields including topological insulators and spin-orbit assistant Mott insulators. In this paper, strongly temperature-dependent spin orbit coupling, revealed by weak anti-localization, is observed at low temperature in 5d strongly correlated compound, SrIrO3. As the temperat

We consider the randomized decision tree complexity of the recursive 3-majority function. We prove a lower bound of $(1/2-δ) \cdot 2.57143^h$ for the two-sided-error randomized decision tree complexity of evaluating height $h$ formulae with error $δ\in [0,1/2)$. This improves the lower bound of $(1-2δ)(7/3)^h$ given by Jayram, Kumar, and Sivakumar (STOC'

Due to its time-varying nature, oscillator phase noise can significantly degrade the performance of channel estimation, carrier recovery, and data detection blocks in high-speed wireless communication systems. In this paper, we analyze joint channel, \emph{carrier frequency offset (CFO)}, and phase noise estimation plus data detection in \emph{orthogonal fre

A Verlinde space of level $k$ is the space of global sections of the $k$-th power of the determinant line bundle on the moduli space $\cSU_C(r)$ of semi-stable bundles of rank $r$ on a curve $C$. The aim of this note is to make accessible some remarks on the action of the Theta group on the Verlinde spaces of higher level. This gives a decomposition of the b

The historical Klein-Gordon transformation of complex-valued first-order in time Schroedinger equations iterates these in a naively straightforward way which changes them into complex-valued second-order in time equations that have a plethora of extraneous solutions -- the transformation is an operator-calculus analogue of the squaring of both sides of an al

We study the evolution of coherent structures in arbitrary turbulence phenomena, developing some tools, from non-archimedean analysis and algebraic geometry, in order to model its display. We match the scale-dependent, topological structure of the physical fields subsumed by these coherent structures with the phase portraits of some convenient, non-archimede

We study microwave properties of a superconducting tunable coplanar waveguide (CPW). Pairs of Josephson junctions are forming superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs), which shunt the central conductor of the CPW. The Josephson inductance of the SQUIDs is varied in the range of 0.08-0.5 nH by applying an external dc magnetic field. The central c

Spectropolarimetric observations combined with tomographic imaging techniques have revealed that all pre-main sequence (PMS) stars host multipolar magnetic fields, ranging from strong and globally axisymmetric with ~>kilo-Gauss dipole components, to complex and non-axisymmetric with weak dipole components (<~0.1 kG). Many host dominantly octupolar large-scal

We report on a spin-polarized inelastic neutron scattering study of spin waves in the antiferromagnetically ordered state of BaFe2As2. Three distinct excitation components are identified, with spins fluctuating along the c-axis, perpendicular to the ordering direction in the ab-plane, and parallel to the ordering direction.

We simulate a heavy-ion collision using the canonical-basis time-dependent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory (Cb-TDHFB) treating pairing correlation in the three-dimensional coordinate space. We apply the Cb-TDHFB to 22O+22O collision with a contact-type pairing energy functional, and compare results of Cb-TDHFB and TDHF to investigate the effects of pairing co

In this paper we determine a class of entire functions using conditions on their odd and even parts. Further it is shown that the zeros of members of this class are localized in a very special way. This result allows us to treat a particular case of a conjecture by A. Sokal.

We take a closer look at a class of chains with complete connections introduced by Berger, Hoffman and Sidoravicius. Besides giving a sharper description of the uniqueness and non-uniqueness regimes, we show that if the pure majority rule used to fix the dependence on the past is replaced with a function that is Lipschitz at the origin, then uniqueness alway

The pumping of 22.2-GHz H$_2$O masers in the circumstellar envelopes of asymptotic giant branch stars has been simulated numerically. The physical parameters adopted in the calculations correspond to those of the circumstellar envelope around IK Tau. The one-dimensional plane-parallel structure of the gas-dust cloud is considered.

Systems of three particles show a surprising feature in their bound state spectrum: a series of geometrically scaled states, known as Efimov states. These states have not yet been observed directly, but many recent experiments show indirect evidence of their existence via the so-called recombination process.

Color screening and regeneration are both hot medium effects on quarkonium production in high energy nuclear collisions. However, they affect in an opposite way the finally observed quarkonium spectra.

We will consider in this paper the following automorphic integral: $$\int_{Z_{A}GL_{2}(\mathbb{F})\backslash GL_{2}(\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{F}})} F(g)E(g,s) dg.$$

A study of proper affine vector fields in non static axially symmetric space-times is given by using holonomy and decomposability, the rank of the 6X6 Riemann matrix and direct integration techniques. It is shown that the special class of the above space-times admits proper affine vector fields.

Social media, regarded as two-layer networks consisting of users and items, turn out to be the most important channels for access to massive information in the era of Web 2.0. The dynamics of human activity and item popularity is a crucial issue in social media networks. In this paper, by analyzing the growth of user activity and item popularity in four empi

BosonSampling, which we proposed three years ago, is a scheme for using linear-optical networks to solve sampling problems that appear to be intractable for a classical computer. In arXiv:1306.3995, Gogolin et al. claimed that even an ideal BosonSampling device&#39;s output would be &#34;operationally indistinguishable&#34; from a uniform random outcome, at

We study finite-temperature properties of a two-dimensional superfluid made of ultracold alkali-metal atoms in the BCS-BEC crossover. We investigate the region below the critical temperature $T_{BKT}$ of the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition, where there is quasi-condensation, by analyzing the effects of phase and amplitude fluctuations of the

We show that for every $n\ge 2$ there exists a torsion-free one-ended word-hyperbolic group $G$ of rank $n$ admitting generating $n$-tuples $(a_1,\ldots ,a_n)$ and $(b_1,\ldots ,b_n)$ such that the $(2n-1)$-tuples $$(a_1,\ldots ,a_n, \underbrace{1,\ldots ,1}_{n-1 \text{times}})\hbox{ and }(b_1,\ldots, b_n, \underbrace{1,\ldots ,1}_{n-1 \text{times}})$$ are n

Inspired by the analysis of several empirical online social networks, we propose a simple reaction-diffusion-like coevolving model, in which individuals are activated to create links based on their states, influenced by local dynamics and their own intention. It is shown that the model can reproduce the remarkable properties observed in empirical online soci

In this paper, we show two kinds of entangled many body systems with special statistic properties. Firstly, an entangled fermions system with a pairwise entanglement between every two particles in the lowest energy energy level obeys the fractional statistics. As a check, for particle number N=2, N=3 and N=4, considering that any two fermions in the lowest L

Given a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and an Abelian group $A$ of order $n$, an $A$-distance antimagic labelling of $G$ is a bijection from $V(G)$ to $A$ such that the vertices of $G$ have pairwise distinct weights, where the weight of a vertex is the sum (under the operation of $A$) of the labels assigned to its neighbours. An {$A$-distance magic labelling} o

We analyze theoretically the emergence of different superfluid phases of spin-1 bosons in a three-dimensional cubic optical lattice by generalizing the recently developed Ginzburg-Landau theory for the Bose-Hubbard model to a spinor Bose gas. In particular at zero temperature, our theory distinguishes within its validity range between various superfluid phas

We suggest to analyze the three-body decays B+- to $K+- p pbar$ and to $K+- ππ$ by means of two different asymmetries. The former asymmetry, a T-odd one, vanishes and is proposed as a test for excluding biases in the experimental data. The latter asymmetry, which is T-even, may be useful in singling out time reversal odd contributions to the decay, and, poss

We study the pair production of new heavy leptons within a new $U(1)&#39;$ symmetry extension of the Standard Model. Because of the new symmetry, the production and decay modes of the new heavy leptons would be different from those of three families of the standard model. The pair production cross sections depending on the mixing parameter and the mass of he
