A hypergeometric type equation satisfying certain conditions defines either a finite or an infinite system of orthogonal polynomials. We present in a unified and explicit way all these systems of orthogonal polynomials, the associated…

We define the notion of circular words, then consider on such words a constraint derived from the Fibonacci condition. We give several results on the structure of these circular words, then mention possible applications to various…

In a recent paper we discussed when it is possible to define reference frames nonrotating with respect to distant inertial reference objects (extension of the IAU reference systems to exact general relativity), and how to construct them. We…

Self-similar sets with open set condition, the linear objects of fractal geometry, have been considered mainly for crystallographic data. Here we introduce new symmetry classes in the plane, based on rotation by irrational angles. Examples…

For any finite group G, there are several well-established definitions of a G-equivariant spectrum. In this paper, we develop the definition of a global orthogonal spectrum. Loosely speaking, this is a coherent choice of orthogonal…

The notion of a tensor product with projections or with inclusions is defined. It is shown that the definition of stochastic independence relies on such a structure and that independence can be defined in an arbitrary category with a tensor…

In this paper, we aim to introduce the concept of the Ouroboros space and the complimentary concept of the Ouroboros function by using the Ouroboros equation [1] as our starting point. We start with a few univariate definitions, and then…

In this paper we have discussed different possible orthogonalities in matrices, namely orthogonal, quasi-orthogonal, semi-orthogonal and non-orthogonal matrices including completely positive matrices, while giving some of their…

The main goal in this manuscript is to present a class of functions satisfying a certain orthogonality property for which there also exists a three term recurrence formula. This class of functions, which can be considered as an extension to…

In this communication, we examine new formalisms for the construction of the external space when correlating reference wavefunctions built from nonorthogonal determinant expansions. Defining the external space in nonorthogonal approaches is…

We show that a subdirectly irreducible *-regular ring admits a representation within some inner product space provided so does its ortholattice of projections.

Non-orientable nanostructures are becoming feasable today. This lead us to the study of spin in these geometries. Hence a physically sound definition of spin is suggested. Using our definition, we study the question of the number of…

The notion of an orthogonality space was recently rediscovered as an effective means to characterise the essential properties of quantum logic. The approach can be considered as minimalistic; solely the aspect of mutual exclusiveness is…

We prove in ZF that there is an inner product space, in fact, nicely definable with no orthonormal basis.

The concept of inertial frame of reference in classical physics and special theory of relativity is analysed. It has been shown that this fundamental concept of physics is not clear enough. A definition of inertial frame of reference is…

This paper is a survey, with few proofs, of ideas and notions related to self-similarity of groups, semi-groups and their actions. It attempts to relate these concepts to more familiar ones, such as fractals, self-similar sets, and…

We show that, contrarily to the widespread belief, in quantum mechanics repeatable measurements are not necessarily described by orthogonal projectors--the customary paradigm of "observable". Nonorthogonal repeatability, however, occurs…

An approach is proposed which, given a family of linearly independent functions, constructs the appropriate biorthogonal set so as to represent the orthogonal projector operator onto the corresponding subspace. The procedure evolves…

An orthogonality space is a set equipped with a symmetric, irreflexive relation called orthogonality. Every orthogonality space has an associated complete ortholattice, called the logic of the orthogonality space. To every poset, we…
