A permutation array(or code) of length $n$ and distance $d$, denoted by $(n,d)$ PA, is a set of permutations $C$ from some fixed set of $n$ elements such that the Hamming distance between distinct members $\mathbf{x},\mathbf{y}\in C$ is at…
The persistent homology of a stationary point process on ${\bf R}^N$ is studied in this paper. As a generalization of continuum percolation theory, we study higher dimensional topological features of the point process such as loops,…
The classical attenuation regulation of gene expression in bacteria is considered. We propose to represent the secondary RNA structure in the leader region of a gene or an operon by a term, and we give a probabilistic term rewriting system…
We present decidability results for termination of classes of term rewriting systems modulo permutative theories. Termination and innermost termination modulo permutative theories are shown to be decidable for term rewrite systems (TRS)…
This short note deals with some applications of the Beta function
A necessary and sufficient condition for a one-dimensional q-state n-input cellular automaton rule to be number-conserving is established. Two different forms of simpler and more visual representations of these rules are given, and their…
We present preservation theorems for countable support iteration of nep forcing notions satisfying ``old reals are not Lebesgue null'' and ``old reals are not meager''. (Nep is a generalization of Suslin proper.) We also give some results…
This article analyzes the problem of estimating the time until an event occurs, also known as survival modeling. We observe through substantial experiments on large real-world datasets and use-cases that populations are largely…
In a permutation sequence built by means of sub permutations the transition between successive permutations are subject to a set of n(n - 1)/2 rules that group into n - 1 matrices with a high degree of regularity. By means of these rules…
We present a study of the problem of finiteness of the $\beta$-expansions for the set of natural numbers, condition $F_1$ in brief, for three families of Pisot numbers for which the $\beta$-expansion of 1 is not a non-decreasing sequence.…
These notes are a self-contained short proof of the stability of persistence diagrams.
Chang's lemma is a useful tool in additive combinatorics and the analysis of Boolean functions. Here we give an elementary proof using entropy. The constant we obtain is tight, and we give a slight improvement in the case where the…
The Harari-Shupe model for fermions is extended to a topological model which contains an explanation for the observed fact that there are only three generations of fermions. Topological explanations are given for $\beta$-decay and for…
We compare a piecewise linear map with constant slope beta>1 and a piecewise linear map with constant slope -beta. These maps are called the positive and negative beta-transformations. We show that for a certain set of beta's, the…
We investigate some questions on the construction of $\eta$ operators for pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians. We give a sufficient condition which can be exploited to systematically generate a sequence of $\eta$ operators starting from a known…
Let $G$ be a finite additive abelian group with exponent $n>1$, and let $a_1,\ldots,a_{n-1}\in G$. We show that there is a permutation $\sigma\in S_{n-1}$ such that all the elements $sa_{\sigma(s)}\ (s=1,\ldots,n-1)$ are nonzero if and only…
Let $f=a{\tt x} +b{\tt x}^q+{\tt x}^{2q-1}\in\Bbb F_q[{\tt x}]$. We find explicit conditions on $a$ and $b$ that are necessary and sufficient for $f$ to be a permutation polynomial of $\Bbb F_{q^2}$. This result allows us to solve a related…
Let $n$ be a positive integer and let $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. Let $\Gamma_n$ denote the group of permutations on $[n]$ whose restrictions to maximal proper subsets of $[n]$ are even, let $\Sigma_n$ denote the monoid of transformations on…
We show that the truncated simplex Hilbert transform enjoys some cancellation in the sense that its norm grows sublinearly in the number of scales retained in the truncation. This extends the recent result by Tao on cancellation for the…
We introduce a modified version of P. Jones's $\beta$-numbers for Carnot groups which we call {\it stratified $\beta$-numbers}. We show that an analogue of Jones's traveling salesman theorem on 1-rectifiability of sets holds for any Carnot…
