A new concept for computer security is proposed. Digital Picture Enveloping is a technique to embed secret information in some vessel data (a digital picture envelope) such as a BMP formatted image. The purpose of the enveloping is to protect the secret information from being eavesdropped. Digital picture envelope is a conceptual rephrasing of steganography for data storing and Internet communi...

Starting from the symmetric group Sn , we construct two fiat 2-categories. One of them can be viewed as the fiat “extension” of the natural 2-category associated with the symmetric inverse semigroup (considered as an ordered semigroup with respect to the natural order). This 2-category provides a fiat categorification for the integral semigroup algebra of the symmetric inverse semigroup. The ot...

in this paper, a commutative semigroup will be written as a disjoint :union: of its cancellative subsemigroups. based on this fact we will define the left regular representation of a commutative separative semigroup and show that this representation is faithful. finally concrete examples of commutative separative semigroups, their decompositions and their left regular representations are given.

This paper applies the concept of FA-presentable structures to semigroups. We give a complete classification of the finitely generated FA-presentable cancellative semigroups: namely, a finitely generated cancellative semigroup is FA-presentable if and only if it is a subsemigroup of a virtually abelian group. We prove that all finitely generated commutative semigroups are FA-presentable. We giv...

For discrete Hecke pairs (G,H), we introduce a notion of covariant representation which reduces in the case where H is normal to the usual definition of covariance for the action of G/H on c0(G/H) by right translation; in many cases where G is a semidirect product, it can also be expressed in terms of covariance for a semigroup action. We use this covariance to characterise the representations ...

A hierarchy of segmentations(partitions) is a multiscale set representation of the image. This paper introduces a new set of scale space operators or transformations on the space of hierarchies of partitions. An ordering of hierarchies is proposed which is endowed by an ω-ordering based on a global energy over the classes of the hierarchy. A class of Matheron semigroups are shown to exists in t...

We first show that increasing trees are in bijection with set compositions, extending simultaneously a recent result on trees due to Tonks and a classical result on increasing binary trees. We then consider algebraic structures on the linear span of set compositions (the twisted descent algebra). Among others, a number of enveloping algebra structures are introduced and studied in detail. For e...

let s be a locally compact foundation semigroup with identity and                          be its semigroup algebra. let x be a weak*-closed left translation invariant subspace of    in this paper, we prove that  x  is invariantly  complemented in   if and  only if  the left ideal  of    has a bounded approximate identity. we also prove that a foundation semigroup with identity s is left amenab...
