The scalar contributions to the radiative decays of light vector mesons into a pair of neutral pseudoscalars, $V\to P^0P^0\gamma$, are studied within the framework of the Linear Sigma Model. This model has the advantage of incorporating not…

Goodness--of--fit tests for the distribution of the composed error term in a Stochastic Frontier Model (SFM) are suggested. The focus is on the case of a normal/gamma SFM and the heavy--tailed stable/gamma SFM. In the first case the moment…
We construct two new classes of topological dynamical systems; one is a factor of a one-sided shift of finite type while the second is a factor of the two-sided shift. The data is a finite graph which presents the shift of finite type, a…
The $\gamma^{*}\rho^0\to\pi^0$ transition form factor is extracted from recent result for the $\gamma^* \gamma^* \pi^0$ form factor obtained in the extended hard-wall AdS/QCD model with a Chern-Simons term. In the large momentum region, the…
We explore precision in a measurement process incorporating pure probe states, unitary dynamics and complete measurements via a simple formalism. The concept of `information complement' is introduced. It undermines measurement precision and…
We show how information on the uniformity properties of a point set employed in numerical multidimensional integration can be used to improve the error estimate over the usual Monte Carlo one. We introduce a new measure of (non-)uniformity…
