An Efficient Algorithm for the Generation of Z-Convex Polyominoes

2014

We present a characterization of Z-convex polyominoes in terms of pairs of suitable integer vectors. This lets us design an algorithm which generates all Z-convex polyominoes of size n in constant amortized time.

On Sturmian Graphs

2007

AbstractIn this paper we define Sturmian graphs and we prove that all of them have a certain “counting” property. We show deep connections between this counting property and two conjectures, by Moser and by Zaremba, on the continued fraction expansion of real numbers. These graphs turn out to be the underlying graphs of compact directed acyclic word graphs of central Sturmian words. In order to prove this result, we give a characterization of the maximal repeats of central Sturmian words. We show also that, in analogy with the case of Sturmian words, these graphs converge to infinite ones.

Unavoidable sets and circular splicing languages

2017

Circular splicing systems are a formal model of a generative mechanism of circular words, inspired by a recombinant behaviour of circular DNA. They are defined by a finite alphabet A, an initial set I of circular words, and a set R of rules. In this paper, we focus on the still unknown relations between regular languages and circular splicing systems with a finite initial set and a finite set R of rules represented by a pair of letters ( ( 1 , 3 ) -CSSH systems). When R = A × A , it is known that the set of all words corresponding to the splicing language belongs to the class of pure unitary languages, introduced by Ehrenfeucht, Haussler, Rozenberg in 1983. They also provided a characteriza…

Absolute continuity for Banach space valued mappings

2007

We consider the notion of p,λ,δ-absolute continuity for Banach space valued mappings introduced in [2] for real valued functions and for λ = 1. We investigate the validity of some basic properties that are shared by n, λ-absolutely continuous functions in the sense of Maly and Hencl. We introduce the class $δ-BV^p_{λ,loc}$ and we give a characterization of the functions belonging to this class.

Vector-valued meromorphic functions

2002

A locally complete locally convex space E satisfies that every weakly meromorphic function defined on an open subset of \( \mathbb{C} \) with values in E is meromorphic if and only if E does not contain a countable product of copies of \( \mathbb{C} \). A characterization of locally complete spaces in the spirit of known characterizations of the (metric) convex compactness property is also given.

Regular Varieties of Automata and Coequations

2015

In this paper we use a duality result between equations and coequations for automata, proved by Ballester-Bolinches, Cosme-Ll´opez, and Rutten to characterize nonempty classes of deterministic automata that are closed under products, subautomata, homomorphic images, and sums. One characterization is as classes of automata defined by regular equations and the second one is as classes of automata satisfying sets of coequations called varieties of languages. We show how our results are related to Birkhoff’s theorem for regular varieties.

McKay natural correspondences on characters

2014

Let [math] be a finite group, let [math] be an odd prime, and let [math] . If [math] , then there is a canonical correspondence between the irreducible complex characters of [math] of degree not divisible by [math] belonging to the principal block of [math] and the linear characters of [math] . As a consequence, we give a characterization of finite groups that possess a self-normalizing Sylow [math] -subgroup or a [math] -decomposable Sylow normalizer.

An automata-theoretic approach to the study of the intersection of two submonoids of a free monoid

2008

We investigate the intersection of two finitely generated submonoids of the free monoid on a finite alphabet. To this purpose, we consider automata that recognize such submonoids and we study the product automata recognizing their intersection. By using automata methods we obtain a new proof of a result of Karhumaki on the cha- racterization of the intersection of two submonoids of rank two, in the case of prefix (or suffix) generators. In a more general setting, for an arbitrary number of generators, we prove that if H and K are two finitely generated submonoids generated by prefix sets such that the product automaton associated to H ∩ K has a given special property then �(H ∩ K) ≤ �(H)�(K…

On Rough Sets in Topological Boolean Algebras

1994

We have focused on rough sets in topological Boolean algebras. Our main ideas on rough sets are taken from concepts of Pawlak [4] and certain generalizations of his constructions which were offered by Wiweger [7]. One of the most important results of this note is a characterization of the rough sets determined by regular open and regular closed elements.

Intersection subgroups of complex hyperplane arrangements

2000

Abstract Let A be a central arrangement of hyperplanes in C n , let M( A ) be the complement of A , and let L ( A ) be the intersection lattice of A . For X in L ( A ) we set A X ={H∈ A : H⫆X} , and A /X={H/X: H∈ A X } , and A X ={H∩X: H∈ A \ A X } . We exhibit natural embeddings of M( A X ) in M( A ) that give rise to monomorphisms from π 1 (M( A X )) to π 1 (M( A )) . We call the images of these monomorphisms intersection subgroups of type X and prove that they form a conjugacy class of subgroups of π 1 (M( A )) . Recall that X in L ( A ) is modular if X+Y is an element of L ( A ) for all Y in L ( A ) . We call X in L ( A ) supersolvable if there exists a chain 0⫅X 1 ⫅⋯⫅X d =X in L ( A ) …
