On the consequences of the standard polynomial

1998

The purpose of this paper is to shed some light on the polynomial identities of low degree for the n × n matrix algebra over a field of characteristic 0.Our main result is that we have found all the consequences of degree n + 2 of the standard polynomial have calculated the S n+2-character of the T-ideal generated by this polynomial.

On languages factorizing the free monoid

1996

A language X⊂A* is called factorizing if there exists a language Y⊂A* such that XY = A* This work was partially supported by ESPRIT-EBRA project ASMICS contact 6317 and project 40% MURST “Algoritmi, Modelli di Calcolo e Strutture Informative”. and the product is unambiguous. First we give a combinatorial characterization of factorizing languages. Further we prove that it is decidable whether a regular language X is factorizing and we construct an automaton recognizing the corresponding language Y. For finite languages we show that it suffices to consider words of bounded length. A complete characterization of factorizing languages with three words and explicit regular expression for the co…

The Minimum Amount of Useful Space: New Results and New Directions

2014

We consider minimal space requirements when using memory with restricted access policy (pushdown - hence giving pushdown automata (PDAs), and counter - hence giving counter automata (CAs)) in connection with two-way and realtime head motion. The main results are that: (i) loglogn is a tight space lower bound for accepting general nonregular languages on weak realtime PDAs, (ii) there exist unary nonregular languages accepted by realtime alternating CAs within weak logn space, (iii) there exist nonregular languages accepted by two-way DPADs within strong loglogn space, and, (iv) there exist unary nonregular languages accepted by two-way CAs with quantum and classical states within middle log…

On the structure of the set of equivalent norms on ℓ1 with the fixed point property

2012

Abstract Let A be the set of all equivalent norms on l 1 which satisfy the FPP. We prove that A contains rays. In fact, every renorming in l 1 which verifies condition (⁎) in Theorem 2.1 is the starting point of a (closed or open) ray composed by equivalent norms on l 1 with the FPP. The standard norm ‖ ⋅ ‖ 1 or P.K. Linʼs norm defined in Lin (2008) [12] are examples of such norms. Moreover, we study some topological properties of the set A with respect to some equivalent metrics defined on the set of all norms on l 1 equivalent to ‖ ⋅ ‖ 1 .

A Group-theoretical Finiteness Theorem

2008

We start with the universal covering space $${\*M^n}$$ of a closed n-manifold and with a tree of fundamental domains which zips it $${T\longrightarrow\*M^n}$$ . Our result is that, between T and $${\* M^n}$$ , is an intermediary object, $${T\stackrel{p} {\longrightarrow} G \stackrel{F}{\longrightarrow} \*M^n}$$ , obtained by zipping, such that each fiber of p is finite and $${T\stackrel{p}{\longrightarrow}G\stackrel{F}{\longrightarrow} \*M^n}$$ admits a section.

Ranking and unrankingk-ary trees with a 4k –4 letter alphabet

1997

Abstract The problem of the direct generation in A-order of binary trees was stated by Zaks in 1980. In 1988 Roelants van Baronaigien and Ruskey gave a solution for k-ary trees with n internal nodes using an encoding sequence of kn+1 integers between 1 and n. Vajnovszki and Pallo improved this result for binary trees in 1994 using words of length n–1 on a four letter alphabet. Recently Korsh generalized the Vajnovszki and Pallo’s generating algorithm to k-ary trees using an alphabet whose cardinality depends on k but not on n. We give in this paper ranking and unranking algorithms for k-ary trees using the Korsh’s encoding scheme.

Polynomial Identities of Algebras of Small Dimension

2009

It is well known that given an associative algebra or a Lie algebra A, its codimension sequence c n (A) is either polynomially bounded or grows at least as fast as 2 n . In [2] we proved that for a finite dimensional (in general nonassociative) algebra A, dim A = d, the sequence c n (A) is also polynomially bounded or c n (A) ≥ a n asymptotically, for some real number a > 1 which might be less than 2. Nevertheless, for d = 2, we may take a = 2. Here we prove that for d = 3 the same conclusion holds. We also construct a five-dimensional algebra A with c n (A) < 2 n .

Asymptotics for Graded Capelli Polynomials

2014

The finite dimensional simple superalgebras play an important role in the theory of PI-algebras in characteristic zero. The main goal of this paper is to characterize the T 2-ideal of graded identities of any such algebra by considering the growth of the corresponding supervariety. We consider the T 2-ideal Γ M+1,L+1 generated by the graded Capelli polynomials C a p M+1[Y,X] and C a p L+1[Z,X] alternanting on M+1 even variables and L+1 odd variables, respectively. We prove that the graded codimensions of a simple finite dimensional superalgebra are asymptotically equal to the graded codimensions of the T 2-ideal Γ M+1,L+1, for some fixed natural numbers M and L. In particular csupn(Γk2+l2+1…

Pattern Matching and Pattern Discovery Algorithms for Protein Topologies

2001

We describe algorithms for pattern-matching and pattern-learning in TOPS diagrams (formal descriptions of protein topologies). These problems can be reduced to checking for subgraph isomorphism and finding maximal common subgraphs in a restricted class of ordered graphs. We have developed a subgraph isomorphism algorithm for ordered graphs, which performs well on the given set of data. The maximal common subgraph problem then is solved by repeated subgraph extension and checking for isomorphisms. Despite its apparent inefficiency, this approach yields an algorithm with time complexity proportional to the number of graphs in the input set and is still practical on the given set of data. As a…

Embeddings of Danielewski surfaces

2003

A Danielewski surface is defined by a polynomial of the form P=x nz −p(y). Define also the polynomial P ′ =x nz −r(x)p(y) where r(x) is a non-constant polynomial of degree ≤n−1 and r(0)=1. We show that, when n≥2 and deg p(y)≥2, the general fibers of P and P ′ are not isomorphic as algebraic surfaces, but that the zero fibers are isomorphic. Consequently, for every non-special Danielewski surface S, there exist non-equivalent algebraic embeddings of S in ℂ3. Using different methods, we also give non-equivalent embeddings of the surfaces xz=(y d n >−1) for an infinite sequence of integers d n . We then consider a certain algebraic action of the orthogonal group $\mathcal O(2)$ on ℂ4 which was…
