Although N is discrete in R, it is not discrete in Qp, and in fact has closure Zp. This raises the possibility of p-adically interpolating a sequence an, which is really a function n 7→ an on N, to a continuous function x 7→ ax with x ∈ Zp. Our basic question is this: when does a function f : N→ Qp extend to a continuous function Zp → Qp? We will look at some concrete examples, then see what a ...

The fact that human readers can learn about the physical world from textual descriptions leads to a number of interesting questions about the connections between our conceptual understanding of the physical world and how it is reflected in natural language. This thesis investigates some forms in which information about physical phenomena is typically expressed in natural language and how this k...

Process industry requires now accurate, efficient and flexible operation of the plants. There is always a need for development of innovative technologies and integrated software tools for process modelling, dynamic trajectory optimization and high-performance industrial process control. Process dynamics tend to become too complex to be efficiently controlled by the current generation of control...

Let Qp ⊆ L ⊆ K ⊆ Cp be a chain of complete intermediate fields where Qp ⊆ L is finite and K discretely valued. Let Z be a one dimensional finitely generated abelian locally L-analytic group and let ẐK be its rigid Kanalytic character group. Generalizing work of Lazard we compute the Picard group and the Grothendieck group of ẐK . If Z = o, the integers in L 6= Qp, we find Pic(ôK) = Zp which ans...

We present preliminary numerical findings concerning measure synchronization in a pair of coupled Nonlinear Hamiltonian Systems (NLHS) derived from a Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation (NLSE). The dynamics of the two coupled NLHS were found to exhibit a transition to coherent invariant measure; their orbits sharing the same phase space as the coupling strength is increased. Transitions from quasipe...

Since alterations in pulmonary hemodynamics may lead to airway hyperreactivity, the consequences of individual changes in pulmonary blood flow (Qp) and capillary pressure (Pc) on lung responsiveness were investigated. During maintenance of a steady-state Pc of 5, 10, or 15 mmHg (groups 1-3), acute increases of Qp were generated in isolated, perfused rat lungs by simultaneous pulmonary arterial ...

The paper deals with a short presentation of the basic ideas concerning the multiparametric quadratic programming (mp-QP) problems. The model predictive control is considered also as particular mp-QP problem. Since the solutions to mp-QP problems can be expressed as piecewise affine linear functions of the state, a new implementation in terms of adaptive network-based fuzzy inference systems is...
