The aim of this paper is to prove that an algebraic variety over a field can be desingularized locally along a valuation after a purely inseparable alteration. Zariski was first to study the problem of desingularizing algebraic varieties along valuations. He called this problem local uniformization of valuations and observed that it should be considered as the local part of the desingularizatio...

Theorem 15.1. Let E/Fq be an elliptic curve over a finite field, and let πE be the Frobenius endomorphism of E. Then E is supersingular if and only if trπE ≡ 0 mod p. Proof. Let q = pn and let π be the p-power Frobenius map π(x, y) = (xp, yp) (note that π is an isogeny, but not necessarily an endomorphism, since E need not be defined over Fp). We have π̂π = [p], where [p] denotes the multiplicat...

this paper presents a genetic algorithm (ga) for solving a generalized model of single-item resource-constrained aggregate production planning (app) with linear cost functions. app belongs to a class of pro-duction planning problems in which there is a single production variable representing the total production of all products. we linearize a linear mixed-integer model of app subject to hiring...

In her target article, Michaels defines action as “a temporally bounded, observable, goaldirected movement (or non-movement) that entails intention, the detection of information, and a lawful relation between that information and the movement”. She defines perception as “the detection of information”. This forces one to conclude that it is impossible to study action separately from perception. ...
