چکیده
We discuss the use of multivariate Granger causality in presence of redundant variables: the application of the standard analysis, in this case, leads to under-estimation of causalities. Using the un-normalized version of the causality index, we quantitatively develop the notions of redundancy and synergy in the frame of causality and propose two approaches to group redundant variables: (i) for a given target, the remaining variables are grouped so as to maximize the total causality and (ii) the whole set of variables is partitioned to maximize the sum of the causalities between subsets. We show the application to a real neurological experiment, aiming to a deeper understanding of the physiological basis of abnormal neuronal oscillations in the migraine brain. The outcome by our approach reveals the change in the informational pattern due to repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulations.

We consider the scattering that is described by the equation (−∆ x + q(x, y) is a periodic function of y, q and f have compact supports with respect to x. We are interested in the solution satisfying the radiation condition at infinity and describe the asymptotic behavior of the solution as ǫ → 0. In addition, we find the asymptotic behavior of the scattering amplitude of the plain wave. Either...

A lattice NRQCD calculation of the B 0-¯ B 0 mixing parameter B B Abstract We present a lattice calculation of the B meson B-parameter B B using the NRQCD action. The heavy quark mass dependence is explicitly studied over a mass range between m b and 4m b with the O(1/m Q) and O(1/m 2 Q) actions. We find that the ratios of lattice matrix elements O lat N /A lat 0 2 and O lat S /A lat 0 2 , whic...

We give an asymptotic expansion (the higher Stirling formula) and an infinite product representation (the Weierstrass product formula) of the Vignéras multiple gamma function by considering the classical limit of the multiple q-gamma function.
