Let Z ⊂ P, r ≥ 4, be a closed subscheme with dim(Z) ≤ r−4. Fix integers c > 0 and gi ≥ 0, i = 1, . . . , c. We prove that the general union of Z and c smooth curves Yi ⊂ P with genus gi and deg(Yi) ≥ r + gr as maximal rank (i.e. the expected postulation) if deg(Y1) + · · ·+ deg(Yc) 0.

This article introduces a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method for sampling the parameters of a multinomial logit model from their posterior distribution. Let yi ∈ {0, . . . ,M} denote the categorical response of subject i with covariates xi = (xi1, . . . , xip) T . Let X = (x1, . . . ,xn) T denote the design matrix, and let y = (y1, . . . , yn) T . Multinomial logit models relate yi to xi th...

Polar weighted homogeneous polynomials is the class of special polynomials of real variables xi, yi, i = 1, . . . , n with zi = xi + √ −1 yi which enjoys a “ polar action”. In many aspects, their behavior looks like that of complex weighted homogeneous polynomials. We study basic properties of hypersurfaces which are defined by polar weighted homogeneous polynomials.

background and objectives: preparation and evaluation of nanocomposite films have become prevalent in recent years. depending on the purpose of using the film, and considering the effects and interaction effects of nanomaterial and other modifiers on the film properties, the amounts of nanomaterials and modifiers should be optimized. the effects of montmorillonite (mmt), glycerol (gl), and thei...
