Sequential pattern mining is an important data mining task with broad applications. However, conventional methods may meet inherent difficulties in mining databases with long sequences and noise. They may generate a huge number of short and trivial patterns but fail to find interesting patterns approximately shared by many sequences. To attack these problems, in this paper, we propose the theme...

For horocyclic products of percolation subtrees of regular trees, we show almost sure amenability. Under a symmetry condition concerning the growth of the two percolation trees, we show the existence of an increasing Følner sequence (which we call strong amenability).

We show that Tsirelson’s problem concerning the set of quantum correlations and Connes’ embedding problem on finite approximations in von Neumann algebras (known to be equivalent to Kirchberg’s QWEP conjecture) are essentially equivalent. Specifically, Tsirelson’s problem asks whether the set of bipartite quantum correlations generated between tensor product separated systems is the same as the...

For a Banach algebra $A$, $A''$ is $(-1)$-Weakly amenable if $A'$ is a Banach $A''$-bimodule and $H^1(A'',A')={0}$. In this paper, among other things,  we study the relationships between the $(-1)$-Weakly amenability of $A''$ and the weak amenability of $A''$ or $A$. Moreover, we show that the second dual of every $C^ast$-algebra is $(-1)$-Weakly amenable.

in 2005, a. abdollahi and a. rejali, studied the relations betweenparadoxical decomposition and configuration for semigroups. in thepresent paper, we introduce one other concept of amenability typeon semigroups and groups which includes amenability of semigroupsand inner-amenability of groups. we have extend the previous knownresults to semigroups and groups satisfying this concept.

We present a new approach to the amenability of groupoids (both in the measure theoretical and the topological setups) based on using Markov operators. We introduce the notion of an invariant Markov operator on a groupoid and show that the Liouville property (absence of non-trivial bounded harmonic functions) for such an operator implies amenability of the groupoid. Moreover, the groupoid actio...
