A note on modeling sparse exponential-family functional response curves

A note on superspecial and maximal curves

In this note we review a simple criterion, due to Ekedahl, for superspecial curves defined over finite fields.Using this we generalize and give some simple proofs for some well-known superspecial curves.

A note on the border of an exponential family

Limits of densities belonging to an exponential family appear in many applications, e.g. Gibbs models in Statistical Physics, relaxed combinatorial optimization, coding theory, critical likelihood computations, Bayes priors with singular support, random generation of factorial designs. We discuss the problem from the methodological point of view in the case of a finite state space. We prove two...

On Silverman's conjecture for a family of elliptic curves

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $Bbb{Q}$ with the given Weierstrass equation $ y^2=x^3+ax+b$. If $D$ is a squarefree integer, then let $E^{(D)}$ denote the $D$-quadratic twist of $E$ that is given by $E^{(D)}: y^2=x^3+aD^2x+bD^3$. Let $E^{(D)}(Bbb{Q})$ be the group of $Bbb{Q}$-rational points of $E^{(D)}$. It is conjectured by J. Silverman that there are infinitely many primes $p$ for which $...
