We report the results of extensive numerical experiments on the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation in the strongly chaotic regime as the viscosity parameter is decreased and increasingly more linearly unstable modes enter the dynamics. General initial conditions are used and evolving states do not assume odd-parity. A large number of numerical experiments are employed in order to obtain quantitative...

The landmark observation of phenotype inheritance in peas by Augustinian Mandel’s in 1866 was the first concept that subsequently evolved as a framework for a new science, which is now known as genetics. The relentless search for genetic elements that predispose to a disease state reached a peak when the human genome project was completed in 2003, which led to extensive investigation of genome-...

The Temperley-Lieb algebra Tn with parameter 2 is the associative algebra over Q generated by 1, e0, e1, . . . , en, where the generators satisfy the relations ei = 2ei, eiejei = ei if |i − j| = 1 and eiej = ejei if |i − j| ≥ 2. We use the Four Color Theorem to give a necessary and sufficient condition for certain elements of Tn to be nonzero. It turns out that the characterization is, in fact,...

We consider an adaptive i~nite state controlled Maxkov chain with partial state information, motivated by a class of replacement problems. We present parameter estimation techniques based on the information ava~lable after actions that reset the state to a known v~ue are taken. We prove that the parameter estimates converge w.p.1 to the true (unknown) parameter, under the feedback structure ind...

This article examines recent developments in cognitivist theories of the emotions, and seeks to develop an original theory within that approach. The article specifically considers the criticism that such theories over-intellectualise emotions by reducing them to attitudes towards propositions and by excluding feelings. I argue that few cognitivists have ever held the former position, and that i...

We present a general Nonlinear Rescaling (NR) methods for discrete minimax problem. The fundamental difference between the NR approach and the smoothing technique consists of using the Lagrange multipliers as the main driving force to improve the convergence rate and the numerical stability. In contrast to the smoothing technique the NR methods converge to the primal-dual solution under a fixed...
