Hoffman's Error Bound, Local Controllability, and Sensitivity Analysis

2000

Our aim is to present sufficient conditions ensuring Hoffman's error bound for lower semicontinuous nonconvex inequality systems and to analyze its impact on the local controllability, implicit function theorem for (non-Lipschitz) multivalued mappings, generalized equations (variational inequalities), and sensitivity analysis and on other problems like Lipschitzian properties of polyhedral multivalued mappings as well as weak sharp minima or linear conditioning. We show how the information about our sufficient conditions can be used to provide a computable constant such that Hoffman's error bound holds. We also show that this error bound is nothing but the classical Farkas lemma for linear …

A new Euler–Mahonian constructive bijection

2011

AbstractUsing generating functions, MacMahon proved in 1916 the remarkable fact that the major index has the same distribution as the inversion number for multiset permutations, and in 1968 Foata gave a constructive bijection proving MacMahon’s result. Since then, many refinements have been derived, consisting of adding new constraints or new statistics.Here we give a new simple constructive bijection between the set of permutations with a given number of inversions and those with a given major index. We introduce a new statistic, mix, related to the Lehmer code, and using our new bijection we show that the bistatistic (mix,INV) is Euler–Mahonian. Finally, we introduce the McMahon code for …

General inductive inference types based on linearly-ordered sets

1996

In this paper, we reconsider the definitions of procrastinating learning machines. In the original definition of Freivalds and Smith [FS93], constructive ordinals are used to bound mindchanges. We investigate the possibility of using arbitrary linearly ordered sets to bound mindchanges in a similar way. It turns out that using certain ordered sets it is possible to define inductive inference types more general than the previously known ones. We investigate properties of the new inductive inference types and compare them to other types.

Implications of quantum automata for contextuality

2014

We construct zero error quantum finite automata (QFAs) for promise problems which cannot be solved by bounded error probabilistic finite automata (PFAs). Here is a summary of our results: There is a promise problem solvable by an exact two way QFA in exponential expected time but not by any bounded error sublogarithmic space probabilistic Turing machine (PTM). There is a promise problem solvable by an exact two way QFA in quadratic expected time but not by any bounded error o(loglogn) space PTMs in polynomial expected time. The same problem can be solvable by a one way Las Vegas (or exact two way) QFA with quantum head in linear (expected) time. There is a promise problem solvable by a Las …

Amount of Nonconstructivity in Finite Automata

2009

When D. Hilbert used nonconstructive methods in his famous paper on invariants (1888), P.Gordan tried to prevent the publication of this paper considering these methods as non-mathematical. L. E. J. Brouwer in the early twentieth century initiated intuitionist movement in mathematics. His slogan was "nonconstructive arguments have no value for mathematics". However, P. Erdos got many exciting results in discrete mathematics by nonconstructive methods. It is widely believed that these results either cannot be proved by constructive methods or the proofs would have been prohibitively complicated. R.Freivalds [7] showed that nonconstructive methods in coding theory are related to the notion of…

A Uniform Way to Control Chief Series in Finite p -Groups and to Construct the Countable Algebraically Closed Locally Finite p -Groups

Group graded algebras and multiplicities bounded by a constant

2013

AbstractLet G be a finite group and A a G-graded algebra over a field of characteristic zero. When A is a PI-algebra, the graded codimensions of A are exponentially bounded and one can study the corresponding graded cocharacters via the representation theory of products of symmetric groups. Here we characterize in two different ways when the corresponding multiplicities are bounded by a constant.

Haar Type and Carleson Constants

2009

For a collection ℰ of dyadic intervals, a Banach space X, and p∈(1, 2], we assume the upper l p estimates where x I ∈X, and h I denotes the L ∞ normalized Haar function supported on I. We determine the minimal requirement on the size of ℰ such that these estimates imply that X is of Haar type p. The characterization is given in terms of the Carleson constant of ℰ.

Farkas-Minkowski systems in semi-infinite programming

1981

The Farkas-Minkowski systems are characterized through a convex cone associated to the system, and some sufficient conditions are given that guarantee the mentioned property. The role of such systems in semi-infinite programming is studied in the linear case by means of the duality, and, in the nonlinear case, in connection with optimality conditions. In the last case the property appears as a constraint qualification.

Comparing weak versions of separability

2012

Our aim is to investigate spaces with sigma-discrete and meager dense sets, as well as selective versions of these properties. We construct numerous examples to point out the differences between these classes while answering questions of Tkachuk [30], Hutchinson [17] and the authors of [8].
