Modeling Local Social Migrations: A Cellular Automata Approach

2015

In local social migrations, agents move from their initial location looking for a better local social environment. Social migrations processes do not change the number of social agents of a given type (i.e., the empirical distribution of the population) but their spatial location. Although cellular automata seems to appear as a natural approach to model of social migrations, the evolution of the configuration through a cellular automata might induce a new configuration wherein the number of agents of each type might be actually modified. This article provides a characterization of these cellular automata rules such that for any initial empirical distribution, the evolution of the configurat…

Uniformization with infinitesimally metric measures

2019

We consider extensions of quasiconformal maps and the uniformization theorem to the setting of metric spaces $X$ homeomorphic to $\mathbb R^2$. Given a measure $\mu$ on such a space, we introduce $\mu$-quasiconformal maps $f:X \to \mathbb R^2$, whose definition involves deforming lengths of curves by $\mu$. We show that if $\mu$ is an infinitesimally metric measure, i.e., it satisfies an infinitesimal version of the metric doubling measure condition of David and Semmes, then such a $\mu$-quasiconformal map exists. We apply this result to give a characterization of the metric spaces admitting an infinitesimally quasisymmetric parametrization.

Semi-empirical Hartree-Fock calculations for KNbO 3 and KTaO 3

1997

As a first step in modeling the electronic structure of Perovskite-type ferroelectric mixed crystals K(Nb,Ta)O3, semiempirical calculations for pure KNbO3 and KTaO3 are performed with the intermediate neglect of the differential overlap (INDO) quantum chemical method. The calculations are mostly done for 40-atom supercells. The choice of the INDO parameters based on the comparison of results with ab initio and experimental data is discussed. INDO results for the equilibrium geometry and the (Gamma) -TO phonon frequencies are given. The results show that the accuracy of the INDO method is sufficient for reliably reproducing the energy differences on the order of 1 mRy (per formula unit) scal…

PT Symmetry and Weyl Asymptotics

2012

For a class of PT-symmetric operators with small random perturbations, the eigenvalues obey Weyl asymptotics with probability close to 1. Consequently, when the principal symbol is nonreal, there are many nonreal eigenvalues.

Permutability of injectors with a central socle in a finite solvable group

2017

In response to an Open Question of Doerk and Hawkes [5, IX Section 3, page 615], we shall show that if Zπ is the Fitting class formed by the finite solvable groups whose π-socle is central (where π is a set of prime numbers), then the Zπ-injectors of a finite solvable group G permute with the members of a Sylow basis in G. The proof depends on the properties of certain extraspecial groups [4].

Pseudocomplements in sum-ordered partial semirings

2007

We study a particular way of introducing pseudocomplementation in ordered semigroups with zero, and characterise the class of those pseudocomplemented semigroups, termed g-semigroups here, that admit a Glivenko type theorem (the pseudocomplements form a Boolean algebra). Some further results are obtained for g-semirings – those sum-ordered partially additive semirings whose multiplicative part is a g-semigroup. In particular, we introduce the notion of a partial Stone semiring and show that several well-known elementary characteristics of Stone algebras have analogues for such semirings.

A class of generalised finite T-groups

2011

Let F be a formation (of finite groups) containing all nilpotent groups such that any normal subgroup of any T-group in F and any subgroup of any soluble T-group in F belongs to F. A subgroup M of a finite group G is said to be F-normal in G if G/CoreG(M) belongs to F. Named after Kegel, a subgroup U of a finite group G is called a K- F-subnormal subgroup of G if either U=G or U=U0?U1???Un=G such that Ui?1 is either normal in Ui or Ui1 is F-normal in Ui, for i=1,2,...,n. We call a finite group G a TF-group if every K- F-subnormal subgroup of G is normal in G. When F is the class of all finite nilpotent groups, the TF-groups are precisely the T-groups. The aim of this paper is to analyse the…

Injectors with a central socle in a finite solvable group

2013

Abstract In response to an Open Question of Doerk and Hawkes (1992) [2, IX §4, p. 628] , we shall describe three constructions for the Z π -injectors of a finite solvable group, where Z π is the Fitting class formed by the finite solvable groups whose π -socle is central (and π is a set of prime numbers).

A class of imprimitive groups

2010

We classify imprimitive groups inducing the alternating group A4 on the set of blocks, with the inertia subgroup satisfying some very natural geometrical conditions which force the group to operate linearly.
