Alternating bilinear maps with few relations allow to define a combinatorial closure similarly as in [2]. For the א0-categorical case we show that this closure is part of the algebraic closure.

The main object of study will be the Hessian of the "input-output" map of a control system at a certain critical point (extremal of the system). Let us recall, therefore, the definition of the Hessian of a smooth map. Let r ~ § M be a smooth map of some smooth Banach manifold into a finite-dimensional manifold and let ~0 ~ ~. The differential of r at D0 is the linear map D$0~:TB0 ~ + T~(~0)M of...

Pairings are particular bilinear maps, and as any bilinear maps they factor through the tensor product as group homomorphisms. Besides, nothing seems to prevent us to construct pairings on other abelian groups than elliptic curves or more general abelian varieties. The point of view adopted in this contribution is based on these two observations. Thus we present an elliptic curve free study of ...

introduction:  the  advent  of  dual-modality  pet/ct  scanners  has  revolutionized  clinical  oncology  by  improving lesion localization and facilitating treatment planning for radiotherapy. in addition, the use of  ct images for ct-based attenuation correction (ctac) decreases the overall scanning time and creates  a noise-free  attenuation  map  (6map).  ctac  methods  include  scaling,  s...

Let X,Y, Z be Banach spaces and let u : X×Y → Z be a bounded bilinear map. Given a locally compact abelian group G , and two functions f ∈ L(G,X) and g ∈ L(G,Y ), we define the u -convolution of f and g as the Z -valued function f ∗u g(t) = ∫ G u(f(t− s), g(s))dμG(s) where dμG stands for the Haar measure on G . We define the concepts of vector-valued approximate identity and summability kernel ...

⎯ A key agreement protocol is a cryptographical primitive which allows participants to share a common secret key via insecure channel. In particular, a multiparty key agreement protocol is a key agreement protocol that can manage arbitrary number of participants at once. In the security point of view, authentication and forward secrecy are the most important requirements in such protocols. One ...

Explicit counterexamples to bilinear estimates related to the Benjamin-Ono equation in the periodic setting are calculated for functions of zero mean value. As a consequence, certain bilinear estimates fail to hold in spite of the analyticity of the flow map. The latter has been shown recently by L. Molinet.
