On the Navarro–Willems conjecture for blocks of finite groups
2007
Abstract We prove that a set of characters of a finite group can only be the set of characters for principal blocks of the group at two different primes when the primes do not divide the group order. This confirms a conjecture of Navarro and Willems in the case of principal blocks.
On permutations of class sums of alternating groups
1997
We prove a result concerning the class sums of the alternating group An; as a consequence we deduce that if θ is a normalized automorphism of the integral group ring then there exists such that is the identity on , where Sn:is the symmetric group and is the center of
Il diritto come scelta
2007
Si discutono le implicazioni della problematica sulla concorrenza degli ordinamenti giuridici europei sulla filosofia e teoria del diritto.
Competition for resources modulates cell-mediated immunity and stress hormone level in nestling collared doves (Streptopelia decaocto)
2008
International audience; Competitive stress imposed by hatching asynchrony may affect developmental trajectories of offsprings by regulating resource allocation between growth and other fitness-related traits. For instance, the down-regulation of immunity is a commonly observed phenomenon under stressful conditions. However, physiological mechanisms that regulate resources allocation to growth and immune functions in response to competition for resources, as well as inter-sexual differences in physiological strategies, are still poorly investigated. To partially fill this gap, we first conducted a descriptive study on chicks of the collared dove (Streptopelia decaocto), a species producing t…
Minimality as vacuous distinctness: Evidence from cross-linguistic sentence comprehension
2009
Abstract Psycholinguistic theorising has long been shaped by the assumption that the processing system endeavours to minimise structures/relations during online comprehension. Within the scope of a recent cross-linguistic, neurocognitive model of sentence comprehension (Bornkessel and Schlesewsky, 2006), we also proposed that the assumption of a very general ‘Minimality’ principle can account for a variety of psycholinguistic findings from a range of languages. In the present paper, we review empirical evidence for this notion of Minimality, before going on to discuss its limitations. On the basis of this discussion, we propose that, rather than constituting an independent processing princi…
Reduced Order Models for Pricing European and American Options under Stochastic Volatility and Jump-Diffusion Models
2016
European options can be priced by solving parabolic partial(-integro) differential equations under stochastic volatility and jump-diffusion models like the Heston, Merton, and Bates models. American option prices can be obtained by solving linear complementary problems (LCPs) with the same operators. A finite difference discretization leads to a so-called full order model (FOM). Reduced order models (ROMs) are derived employing proper orthogonal decomposition (POD). The early exercise constraint of American options is enforced by a penalty on subset of grid points. The presented numerical experiments demonstrate that pricing with ROMs can be orders of magnitude faster within a given model p…
On regularity up to the boundary of solutions to a system of degenerate nonlinear elliptic fourth-order equations
2008
Under some hypotheses on weighted functions, using the interior regularity results established in (Kovalevsky, A. and Nicolosi, F., 2005, Existence and regularity of solutions to a system of degenerate nonlinear fourth-order equations. Nonlinear Analysis, 61, 281–307) and estimating the oscillation of solutions near the boundary of Ω, we establish results on regularity up to the boundary of a solutions of the system (1.1).
Nonexistence of solutions to higher order evolution inequalities with nonlocal source term on Riemannian manifolds
2022
We establish sufficient conditions for the nonexistence of nontrivial solutions to higher order evolution inequalities, with respect to the time variable. We consider a nonlocal source term, and work on complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds. The obtained conditions depend on the parameters of the problem and the geometry of the manifold. Our main result recovers some nonexistence theorems from the literature, established in the whole Euclidean space.
Maximale Konvergenzordnung bei der numerischen Lösung von Anfangswertproblemen mit Splines
1982
In [10] a general procedureV is presented to obtain spline approximations by collocation for the solutions of initial value problems for first order ordinary differential equations. In this paper the attainable order of convergence with respect to the maximum norm is characterized in dependence of the parameters involved inV; in particular the appropriate choice of the collocation points is considered.
Charge-density analysis of 1-nitroindoline: refinement quality using free R factors and restraints
2011
Nitramines and related N-nitro compounds have attracted significant attention owing to their use in rocket fuel and as explosives. The charge density of 1-nitroindoline was determined experimentally and from theoretical calculations. Electron-density refinements were performed using the multipolar atom formalism. In order to design the ideal restraint strategy for the charge-density parameters, R-free analyses were performed involving a series of comprehensive refinements. Different weights were applied to the charge-density restraints, namely the similarity between chemically equivalent atoms and local symmetry. Additionally, isotropic thermal motion and an anisotropic model calculated by …
