We present a single operation for constructing skew diagrams whose corresponding skew Schur functions are equal. This combinatorial operation naturally generalises and unifies all results of this type to date. Moreover, our operation suggests a closely related condition that we conjecture is necessary and sufficient for skew diagrams to yield equal skew Schur functions.

Categorical skew lattices are a variety of skew lattices on which the natural partial order is especially well behaved. While most skew lattices of interest are categorical, not all are. They are characterized by a countable family of forbidden subalgebras. We also consider the subclass of strictly categorical skew lattices.

Offset mismatch, gain mismatch, and time-skew error between time-interleaved channels limit the performance of time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters (TIADC). This paper focused on the time-skew error. A new technique for calibrating time-skew error in M-channels TIADC is described, and simulation results are also presented. Keywords—Calibration, time-skew error, time-interleaved analog-...

For a vertex v of a connected graph G and a subset S of V (G), the distance between v and S is d(v, S) = min{d(v, x)|x ∈ S}. For an ordered k-partition Π = {S1, S2, · · · , Sk} of V (G), the representation of v with respect to Π is the k-vector r(v|Π) = (d(v, S1), d(v, S2), · · · , d(v, Sk)). The k-partition Π is a resolving partition if the k-vectors r(v|Π), v ∈ V (G), are distinct. The minimu...

In this paper we consider several generalizations of the skew t-normal distribution, and some of their properties. Also, we represent several theorems for constructing each generalized skew t-normal distribution. Next, we illustrate the application of the proposed distribution studying the ratio of two heavy metals, Nickel and Vanadium, associated with crude oil in Shadgan wetland in the south-...

Despite many advantages of BrushLess DC motor, torque pulsation is one of the most important disadvantages of it. At first, an optimum primary design of BLDC motor is done using PSO algorithm. Then, other parameters for reducing the torque pulsation are considered by finite element method. It is shown that fractional slot structure has many advantages than conventional one. Both cogging and rip...

In this paper, we introducte a family of univariate Birnbaum-Saunders distributions arising from the skew-normal-t  distribution. We obtain several properties of this distribution such as its moments, the maximum likelihood estimation procedure via an EM-algorithm and a method to evaluate standard errors using the EM-algorithm. Finally, we apply these methods to a real data set to demonstr...

Clock skew is an increasing concern for high-speed circuit designers. Circuit designers use transparent latches and skew-tolerant domino circuits to hide clock skew from the critical path and take advantage of shared portions of the clock network to budget less skew between nearby elements than across the entire die, but current timing analysis algorithms do not handle correlated clock skews. T...
