Commuting rational functions revisited

Conformal measures for rational functions revisited

We show that the set of conical points of a rational function of the Riemann sphere supports at most one conformal measure. We then study the problem of existence of such measures and their ergodic properties by constructing Markov partitions on increasing subsets of sets of conical points and by applying ideas of the thermodynamic formalism. Introduction. In this paper we recall from [U2] the ...

Rational Secret Sharing, Revisited

We consider the problem of secret sharing among n rational players. This problem was introduced by Halpern and Teague (STOC 2004), who claim that a solution is impossible for n = 2 but show a solution for the case n ≥ 3. Contrary to their claim, we show a protocol for rational secret sharing among n = 2 players; our protocol extends to the case n ≥ 3, where it is simpler than the Halpern-Teague...

SOLVING FUZZY LINEAR PROGRAMMING PROBLEMS WITH LINEAR MEMBERSHIP FUNCTIONS-REVISITED

Recently, Gasimov and Yenilmez proposed an approach for solving two kinds of fuzzy linear programming (FLP) problems. Through the approach, each FLP problem is first defuzzified into an equivalent crisp problem which is non-linear and even non-convex. Then, the crisp problem is solved by the use of the modified subgradient method. In this paper we will have another look at the earlier defuzzifi...

Special functions and q-commuting variables

This paper is mostly a survey, with a few new results. The first part deals with functional equations for q-exponentials, q-binomials and q-logarithms in q-commuting variables and more generally under q-Heisenberg relations. The second part discusses translation invariance of Jackson integrals, q-Fourier transforms and the braided line. Last modified: August 26, 1996 Note: Report No. 1, Institu...
