In this paper we investigate linear error correcting codes and projective caps related to the Grassmann embedding ε k of an orthogonal Grassmannian ∆k. In particular, we determine some of the parameters of the codes arising from the projective system determined by ε k (∆k). We also study special sets of points of ∆k which are met by any line of ∆k in at most 2 points and we show that their imag...

A double sequence x = {xk,l} of points in R is slowly oscillating if for any given ε > 0, there exist α = α(ε) > 0, δ = δ(ε) > 0, and N = N(ε) such that |xk,l−xs,t| < ε whenever k, l ≥ N(ε) and k ≤ s ≤ (1 + α)k, l ≤ t ≤ (1 + δ)l. We study continuity type properties of factorable double functions defined on a double subset A × A of R into R, and obtain interesting results related to uniform cont...

In previous lectures we defined a randomness extractor as follow, Definition 1 Function Ext : {0, 1}n × {0, 1}d → {0, 1}m is (k, ε)extractor if for any distribution W ∈ {0, 1}n, with H∞(W ) ≥ k SD(Ext(W ; I), Um) ≤ ε. ♦ If (I,Ext(W ; I) ≈ε (I, Um) we say Ext is a strong extractor. We saw that if H = {hi : {0, 1}n → {0, 1}m|∀i ∈ {0, 1}d} is a universal hash family and m ≤ k − 2 log(1/ε) then Ext...

We describe a deterministic algorithm that, for constant k, given a k-DNF or kCNF formula φ and a parameter ε, runs in time linear in the size of φ and polynomial in 1/ε and returns an estimate of the fraction of satisfying assignments for φ up to an additive error ε. For k-DNF, a multiplicative approximation is also achievable in time polynomial in 1/ε and linear in the size of φ. Previous alg...

In this paper we prove higher integrability results for vector fields B,E, (B,E) ∈ L2− (Ω, R) × L2−ε(Ω, R), ε small, such that div B = 0, curl E = 0 satisfying a “reverse” inequality of the type |B| + |E| ≤ ( K + 1 K ) 〈B,E〉+ |F | with K ≥ 1 and F ∈ L(Ω, R), r > 2 − ε. Applications to the theory of quasiconformal mappings and partial differential equations are given. In particular, we prove reg...

We present a detailed analysis of ε/ε within the Standard Model, taking into account the strong enhancement through final–state interactions identified in refs. [1] and [2]. The relevant hadronic matrix elements are fixed at leading order in the 1/NC expansion, through a matching procedure between the effective short–distance Lagrangian and its corresponding low–energy description in Chiral Per...

I discuss the comparison of the current theoretical calculations of ε/ε with the experimental data. Lacking reliable “first principle” calculations, phenomenological approaches may help in understanding correlations among different contributions and available experimental data. In particular, in the chiral quark model approach the same dynamics which underlies the ∆I = 1/2 selection rule in kao...

Abstract This paper compares the performance of four low-Reynolds-number models for the unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations applied to the flow in a channel driven by a pressure gradient oscillating around a non-zero mean. The models considered are the one-equation Spalart-Allmaras model, the k − ε model with the wall functions of Lam and Bremhorst, the k−ω model of Saffman and W...
