Some algebraic clues towards a syntactic view on the Principles of Non-Contradiction and Excluded-Middle.
2014
This short paper just considers the possibility of a new view for posing and proving the Aristotle’s Principles of Non-Contradiction and Excluded-Middle. It is done by means of their refutability, or deducibility, respectively, under Tarski’s Consequence Operators.
Superstable cycles for antiferromagnetic Q-state Potts and three-site interaction Ising models on recursive lattices
2013
We consider the superstable cycles of the Q-state Potts (QSP) and the three-site interaction antiferromagnetic Ising (TSAI) models on recursive lattices. The rational mappings describing the models' statistical properties are obtained via the recurrence relation technique. We provide analytical solutions for the superstable cycles of the second order for both models. A particular attention is devoted to the period three window. Here we present an exact result for the third order superstable orbit for the QSP and a numerical solution for the TSAI model. Additionally, we point out a non-trivial connection between bifurcations and superstability: in some regions of parameters a superstable cyc…
An annihilator-based strategy for the automatic detection of exponential polynomial spaces in subdivision
2021
Abstract Exponential polynomials are essential in subdivision for the reconstruction of specific families of curves and surfaces, such as conic sections and quadric surfaces. It is well known that if a linear subdivision scheme is able to reproduce a certain space of exponential polynomials, then it must be level-dependent, with rules depending on the frequencies (and eventual multiplicities) defining the considered space. This work discusses a general strategy that exploits annihilating operators to locally detect those frequencies directly from the given data and therefore to choose the correct subdivision rule to be applied. This is intended as a first step towards the construction of se…
Green’s function and existence of solutions for a third-order three-point boundary value problem
2019
The solutions of third-order three-point boundary value problem x‘‘‘ + f(t, x) = 0, t ∈ [a, b], x(a) = x‘(a) = 0, x(b) = kx(η), where η ∈ (a, b), k ∈ R, f ∈ C([a, b] × R, R) and f(t, 0) ≠ 0, are the subject of this investigation. In order to establish existence and uniqueness results for the solutions, attention is focused on applications of the corresponding Green’s function. As an application, also one example is given to illustrate the result. Keywords: Green’s function, nonlinear boundary value problems, three-point boundary conditions, existence and uniqueness of solutions.

On the Intrinsically Low Quantum Yields of Pyrimidine DNA Photodamages: Evaluating the Reactivity of the Corresponding Minimum Energy Crossing Points
2020
The low quantum yield of photoformation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and pyrimidine-pyrimidone (6-4) adducts in DNA bases is usually associated with the presence of more favorable nonreactive decay paths and with the unlikeliness of exciting the system in a favorable conformation. Here, we prove that the ability of the reactive conical intersection to bring the system either back to the absorbing conformation or to the photoproduct must be considered as a fundamental factor in the low quantum yields of the mentioned photodamage. In support of the proposed model, the one order of magnitude difference in the quantum yield of formation of the cyclobutane thymine dimer with respect to the t…
On the construction, comparison, and exchangeability of tuning systems
2015
The aim of this article is to describe mathematically different tuning systems, to study their mathematical properties, and to propose a construction allowing their comparison. In order to reach these goals, we introduce a concept of similarity between tuning systems and then we provide two sufficient conditions for the particular case in which a tuning system generated by an interval and a circulating temperament are compared. Finally, we show by means of an example that, for two tuning systems to be exchangeable, some well-known results determining the suitable number of notes per octave are not enough.
Introducing a novel mesh following technique for approximation-free robotic tool path trajectories
2017
Abstract Modern tools for designing and manufacturing of large components with complex geometries allow more flexible production with reduced cycle times. This is achieved through a combination of traditional subtractive approaches and new additive manufacturing processes. The problem of generating optimum tool-paths to perform specific actions (e.g. part manufacturing or inspection) on curved surface samples, through numerical control machinery or robotic manipulators, will be increasingly encountered. Part variability often precludes using original design CAD data directly for toolpath generation (especially for composite materials), instead surface mapping software is often used to gener…

HIV plays (and wins) a game of T cell Brinkmanship.
2013
HIV, unlike other viruses, may benefit from immune recognition by preserving the sequence of its T cell epitopes, thereby enhancing transmission between cells.
