Renewal Systems, Sharp-Eyed Snakes, and Shifts of Finite Type

چکیده
1. INTRODUCTION. A common theme in all of mathematics is deciding when two seemingly different objects are actually the same in some sense. For example, every elementary school student knows that, despite outward appearances, the fractions 2/3 and 10/15 are the same. The calculus student knows that the functions f (x) = 3x and g(x) = (3x

On Flow Equivalence of Sofic Shifts
The flow equivalence of sofic shifts is examined using results about the structure of the corresponding covers. A canonical cover generalising the left Fischer cover to arbitrary sofic shifts is introduced and used to prove that the left Krieger cover and the past set cover of a sofic shift can be divided into natural layers. These results are used to find the range of a flow invariant and to i...
متن کاملReopening the Convergence Debate when Sharp Breaks and Smooth Shifts Wed, 1870-2010
Abstract This paper attempts to re-investigate the catching-up (stochastic convergence) hypothesis among the selected 16 OECD countries applying the time series approach of convergence hypothesis with annual data over one century. To reach this aim, we propose a model which specifies a trend function, incorporating both types of structural breaks – that is, sharp breaks and smooth shifts usin...
متن کاملANALYSIS OF FINITE BUFFER RENEWAL INPUT QUEUE WITH BALKING AND MARKOVIAN SERVICE PROCESS
This paper presents the analysis of a renewal input finite buffer queue wherein the customers can decide either to join the queue with a probability or balk. The service process is Markovian service process ($MSP$) governed by an underlying $m$-state Markov chain. Employing the supplementary variable and imbedded Markov chain techniques, the steady-state system length distributions at pre...
متن کاملResearch as Cultural Renewal: Applying Two-Eyed Seeing in a Research Project about Cultural Interventions in First Nations Addictions Treatment
This article explores the application of two-eyed seeing in the first year of a three-year study about the effectiveness of cultural interventions in First Nations alcohol and drug treatment in Canada. Two-eyed seeing is recognized by Canada's major health research funder as a starting point for bringing together the strengths of Indigenous and Western ways of knowing. With the aim of developin...
متن کاملAlmost specification and renewality in spacing shifts
Let $(Sigma_P,sigma_P)$ be the space of a spacing shifts where $Psubset mathbb{N}_0=mathbb{N}cup{0}$ and $Sigma_P={sin{0,1}^{mathbb{N}_0}: s_i=s_j=1 mbox{ if } |i-j|in P cup{0}}$ and $sigma_P$ the shift map. We will show that $Sigma_P$ is mixing if and only if it has almost specification property with at least two periodic points. Moreover, we show that if $h(sigma_P)=0$, then $Sigma_...
