The research will concentrate on techniques for implementing invariances in the local transition functions of cellular automata based on cells comprising ensembles of asso-ciative memories.

This paper describes the implementation of a system that reminds the user of the telephone number of a given list, even if the user only remembers part of it, or if the given number contains a series of exchanged digits. The system’s input consists of a telephone number (composed by digits from 0 to 9), containing from zero up to several generic digits (asterisks, in this case). The system proc...

Dominions, in the sense of Isbell, are investigatedin the contextof decomposable varieties of groups. An upper and lower bound for dominions in such a variety is given in terms of the two varietal factors, and the internal structure of the group being analyzed. Finally, the following result is established: If a variety N has instances of nontrivial dominions, then for any proper subvariety Q of...

Let S be a nite nonabelian simple group, and let H be a subgroup of S. In this work, the dominion (in the sense of Isbell) of H in S in Var(S) is determined, generalizing an example of B.H. Neumann. A necessary and suucient condition for H to be epimorphically embedded in S is obtained. These results are then extended to a variety generated by a family of nite nonabelian simple groups. An epimo...

Two protocols of quantum direct communication with authentication [Phys. Rev. A 73, 042305 (2006)] are recently proposed by Lee, Lim and Yang. In this paper we will show that the authenticator Trent should be prevented from knowing the secret message of communication and the protocols can be eavesdropped by Trent using the the intercept-measure-resend attack. To fix this leak, we revise the ori...
