Search results for "value"

It has been shown in previous papers that classes of (minimal asymmetric) informationally-complete positive operator valued measures (IC-POVMs) in dimension d can be built using the multiparticle Pauli group acting on appropriate fiducial states. The latter states may also be derived starting from the Poincare upper half-plane model H . To do this, one translates the congruence (or non-congruence) subgroups of index d of the modular group into groups of permutation gates, some of the eigenstates of which are the sought fiducials. The structure of some IC-POVMs is found to be intimately related to the Kochen-Specker theorem.

Quantum Entanglement and the Issue of Selective Influences in Psychology: An Overview

2012

Similar formalisms have been independently developed in psychology, to deal with the issue of selective influences (deciding which of several experimental manipulations selectively influences each of several, generally non-independent, response variables), and in quantum mechanics (QM), to deal with the EPR entanglement phenomena (deciding whether an EPR experiment allows for a "classical" account). The parallels between these problems are established by observing that any two noncommuting measurements in QM are mutually exclusive and can therefore be treated as analogs of different values of one and the same input. Both problems reduce to that of the existence of a jointly distributed syst…

Field of values and Brauer characters of q′-degree

Abstract We study the existence of non-trivial real-valued (respectively rational-valued) irreducible p -Brauer characters of degree not divisible by q .

A note on homoclinic solutions of (p,q)-Laplacian difference equations

2019

We prove the existence of at least two positive homoclinic solutions for a discrete boundary value problem of equations driven by the (p,q) -Laplace operator. The properties of the nonlinearity ensure that the energy functional, corresponding to the problem, satisfies a mountain pass geometry and a Palais–Smale compactness condition.

Invariant Markov semigroups on quantum homogeneous spaces

2019

Invariance properties of linear functionals and linear maps on algebras of functions on quantum homogeneous spaces are studied, in particular for the special case of expected coideal *-subalgebras. Several one-to-one correspondences between such invariant functionals are established. Adding a positivity condition, this yields one-to-one correspondences of invariant quantum Markov semigroups acting on expected coideal *-subalgebras and certain convolution semigroups of states on the underlying compact quantum group. This gives an approach to classifying invariant quantum Markov semigroups on these quantum homogeneous spaces. The generators of these semigroups are viewed as Laplace operators …

Ordinary (p1,…,pm)-Laplacian systems with mixed boundary value conditions

2016

Abstract In this paper we prove the existence of multiple weak solutions for an ordinary mixed boundary value system with ( p 1 , … , p m )-Laplacian by using recent results of critical points.

Multiplicity of solutions to a nonlinear boundary value problem of concave–convex type

2015

Abstract Problem (P) { − Δ p u + | u | p − 2 u = | u | r − 1 u x ∈ Ω | ∇ u | p − 2 ∂ u ∂ ν = λ | u | s − 1 u x ∈ ∂ Ω , where Ω ⊂ R N is a bounded smooth domain, ν is the unit outward normal at ∂ Ω , Δ p is the p -Laplacian operator and λ > 0 is a parameter, was studied in Sabina de Lis (2011) and Sabina de Lis and Segura de Leon (in press). Among other features, it was shown there that when exponents lie in the regime 1 s p r , a minimal positive solution exists if 0 λ ≤ Λ , for a certain finite Λ , while no positive solutions exist in the complementary range λ > Λ . Furthermore, in the radially symmetric case a second positive solution exists for λ varying in the same full range ( 0 , Λ ) …

Boundary correspondence of Nevanlinna counting functions for self-maps of the unit disc

2003

Let ϕ \phi be a holomorphic self-map of the unit disc D \mathbb {D} . For every α ∈ ∂ D \alpha \in \partial \mathbb {D} , there is a measure τ α \tau _\alpha on ∂ D \partial \mathbb {D} (sometimes called Aleksandrov measure) defined by the Poisson representation Re ⁡ ( α + ϕ ( z ) ) / ( α − ϕ ( z ) ) = ∫ P ( z , ζ ) d τ α ( ζ ) \operatorname {Re}(\alpha +\phi (z))/(\alpha -\phi (z)) = \int P(z,\zeta ) \,d\tau _\alpha (\zeta ) . Its singular part σ α \sigma _\alpha measures in a natural way the “affinity” of ϕ \phi for the boundary value α \alpha . The affinity for values w w inside D \mathbb {D} is provided by the Nevanlinna counting function N ( w ) N(w) of ϕ \phi . We introduce a natural …

A priori bounds and multiplicity of solutions for an indefinite elliptic problem with critical growth in the gradient

2019

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^N$, $N \geq 2$, be a smooth bounded domain. We consider a boundary value problem of the form $$-\Delta u = c_{\lambda}(x) u + \mu(x) |\nabla u|^2 + h(x), \quad u \in H^1_0(\Omega)\cap L^{\infty}(\Omega)$$ where $c_{\lambda}$ depends on a parameter $\lambda \in \mathbb R$, the coefficients $c_{\lambda}$ and $h$ belong to $L^q(\Omega)$ with $q>N/2$ and $\mu \in L^{\infty}(\Omega)$. Under suitable assumptions, but without imposing a sign condition on any of these coefficients, we obtain an a priori upper bound on the solutions. Our proof relies on a new boundary weak Harnack inequality. This inequality, which is of independent interest, is established in the gener…

Existence and gap-bifurcation of multiple solutions to certain nonlinear eigenvalue problems

1993

IN THIS PAPER we study: (i) a class of operator equations in an abstract Hilbert space; and (ii) the L2-theory of certain nonlinear Schrodinger equations which can be viewed as special cases of (i). In order to describe the type of abstract nonlinear eigenvalue problems to be discussed, consider a real Hilbert space H with scalar product (* , *) and norm II.11 and let S be a (not necessarily bounded) positive self-adjoint linear operator in li. We write S in the form
