Actors without Borders: Amnesty for Imprisoned State

In concurrent systems, some form of synchronisation is typically needed to achieve data-race freedom, which is important for correctness and safety. In actor-based systems, messages are exchanged concurrently but executed sequentially by the receiving actor. By relying on isolation and non-sharing, an actor can access its own state without fear of data-races, and the internal behavior of an act...

Generalized Continuous Frames for Operators

In this note, the notion of generalized continuous K- frame in a Hilbert space is defined. Examples have been given to exhibit the existence of generalized continuous $K$-frames. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a generalized continuous $K$-frame in terms of its frame operator is obtained and a characterization of a generalized continuous $K$-frame for $ mathcal{H} $ wi...

Second, amnesty may be inequitable by letting cheaters ‘off the hook’. However, several federal governments currently hold a policy of long-term, or permanent, tax amnesty, in apparent defiance of these concerns. This paper examines fully anticipated t...
