Although there are no doubts that all observed strong interaction phenomena can be described within the theory of QCD, a quantitative description of the strong interaction phenomena in the low energy sector is still lacking, although some features of the low energy phenomena have been partially understood by the lattice gauge theory approach. The low energy sector of the physics of the strong i...

As an essential substructure underlying a large class of chance-constrained programming problems with finite discrete distributions, the mixing set with 0 − 1 knapsack has received considerable attentions in recent literature. In this study, we present a family of strong inequalities that subsume known inequalities for this set. We also find many other inequalities that can be explained by lift...

Vacuum alignment in technicolor models provides an attractive origin for the quarks’ CP violation and, possibly, a natural solution for the strong-CP problem of QCD. We discuss these topics in this paper. Then we apply them to determine plausible mixing matrices for left and right-handed quarks. These matrices determine the CabibboKobayashi-Maskawa matrix as well as new mixing angles and phases...

[1] A high‐resolution three‐dimensional numerical simulation is performed with the parallel, unstructured grid SUNTANS model to study the spatiotemporal dynamics of turbulent mixing in a shallow, macrotidal salt wedge estuary that experiences periodic mixing and strong stratification. Unresolved vertical mixing is parameterized with the k − kl closure scheme with the Canuto‐A stability function...

Let {Xni , i≥ 1,n≥ 1} be an array of rowwise ρ̃-mixing random variables. Some sufficient conditions for complete convergence for weighted sums of arrays of rowwise ρ̃-mixing random variables are presented without assumptions of identical distribution. As applications, the Baum and Katz type result and the Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund type strong law of large numbers for sequences of ρ̃-mixing random vari...

We present novel experimental results demonstrating the coherence properties of the nonlinear emission from semiconductor microcavities in the strong coupling regime, recently interpreted by parametric polariton four-wave mixing. We use a geometry corresponding to degenerate four-wave mixing. In addition to the predicted threshold dependence of the emission on the pump power and spectral bluesh...

We provide complete characterizations, on Banach spaces with cotype 2, of those linear operators which happen to be weakly mixing or strongly mixing transformations with respect to some nondegenerate Gaussian measure. These characterizations involve two families of small subsets of the circle: the countable sets, and the so-called sets of uniqueness for Fourier-Stieltjes series. The most intere...

Extensions of the simply typed lambda calculus with a merge operator are de ned and investigated. A merge of functions denotes a function which can be applied to more than one type and computes the result by merging the results of the component functions. We propose rst two calculi in which the inconsistency between the return values of the component functions is solved using a non-symmetric ru...

We consider quasi maximum likelihood (QML) estimation for general non-Gaussian discrete-time linear state space models and equidistantly observed multivariate Lévy-driven continuous-time autoregressive moving average (MCARMA) processes. In the discrete-time setting, we prove strong consistency and asymptotic normality of the QML estimator under standard moment assumptions and a strong-mixing co...
