The arithmetic decomposition of central Cantor sets

2018

Abstract Every central Cantor set of positive Lebesgue measure is the arithmetic sum of two central Cantor sets of Lebesgue measure zero. Under some mild condition this result can be strengthened by stating that the summands can be chosen to be C s regular if the initial set is of this class.

Morphisms of certain banach C*-modules

2000

Morphisms and representations of a class of Banach C*-modules, called CQ*algebras, are considered. Together with a general method for constructing CQ*-algebras, two different ways of extending the GNS-representation are presented.

Burrows-Wheeler transform and palindromic richness

2009

AbstractThe investigation of the extremal case of the Burrows–Wheeler transform leads to study the words w over an ordered alphabet A={a1,a2,…,ak}, with a1<a2<⋯<ak, such that bwt(w) is of the form aknkak−1nk−1⋯a2n2a1n1, for some non-negative integers n1,n2,…,nk. A characterization of these words in the case |A|=2 has been given in [Sabrina Mantaci, Antonio Restivo, Marinella Sciortino, Burrows-Wheeler transform and Sturmian words, Information Processing Letters 86 (2003) 241–246], where it is proved that they correspond to the powers of conjugates of standard words. The case |A|=3 has been settled in [Jamie Simpson, Simon J. Puglisi, Words with simple Burrows-Wheeler transforms, Electronic …

Products of locally dihedral subgroups

2012

AbstractIt is shown that a group G=AB which is a product of two periodic locally dihedral subgroups A and B is soluble.

On a Linear Diophantine Problem of Frobenius: Extending the Basis

1998

LetXk={a1, a2, …, ak},k>1, be a subset of N such that gcd(Xk)=1. We shall say that a natural numbernisdependent(onXk) if there are nonnegative integersxisuch thatnhas a representationn=∑ki=1 xiai, elseindependent. The Frobenius numberg(Xk) ofXkis the greatest integer withnosuch representation. Selmer has raised the problem of extendingXkwithout changing the value ofg. He showed that under certain conditions it is possible to add an elementc=a+kdto the arithmetic sequencea,a+d,a+2d, …, a+(k−1) d, gcd(a, d)=1, without alteringg. In this paper, we give the setCof all independent numberscsatisfyingg(A, c)=g(A), whereAcontains the elements of the arithmetic sequence. Moreover, ifa>kthen we give …

A question in the theory of saturated formations of finite soluble groups

1993

This paper examines the following question. If\(\mathcal{H}\) and\(\mathcal{F}\) are saturated formations then\(\mathcal{H}_\mathcal{F} \) is defined to be the class of all soluble groups whose\(\mathcal{H} - normalizers\) belong to\(\mathcal{F}\). In general\(\mathcal{H}_\mathcal{F} \) is a formation, but need not be a saturated formation. Here the smallest saturated formation containing\(\mathcal{H}_\mathcal{F} \) is studied.

Variations on a Theorem of Fine &amp; Wilf

2001

In 1965, Fine & Wilf proved the following theorem: if (fn)n≥0 and (gn)n≥0 are periodic sequences of real numbers, of periods h and k respectively, and fn = gn for 0 ≤ n ≤ h+k-gcd(h, k), then fn = gn for all n ≥ 0. Furthermore, the constant h + k - gcd(h, k) is best possible. In this paper we consider some variations on this theorem. In particular, we study the case where fn ≤ gn instead of fn = gn. We also obtain a generalization to more than two periods.

ARITHMETICAL QUESTIONS IN π-SEPARABLE GROUPS

2005

If G is a finite π-separable group, π a set of primes und X is a π-suhgroup of G, let vπ(G, X) be the number of Hall π-suhgroups of G containing X. If K is a subgroup of G containing X, we prove that vπ(K,X) divides vπ(G).

Abelian gradings on upper-triangular matrices

2003

Let G be an arbitrary finite abelian group. We describe all possible G-gradings on an upper-triangular matrix algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero.
