| A convex upper bound of the mixed structured singular value is analyzed. The upper bound is based on a multiplier method. It is simple, it can exploit low-rank properties and it is shown to be less conservative than the well-known (D; G)-scaling. A direct relationship with (D; G)-scaling is given. The upper bound can be modiied to one that is continuous with an explicit Lipschitz constant. Ke...

Let $G$ be a $p$-group of nilpotency class $k$ with finite exponent $exp(G)$ and let $m=lfloorlog_pk floor$. We show that $exp(M^{(c)}(G))$ divides $exp(G)p^{m(k-1)}$, for all $cgeq1$, where $M^{(c)}(G)$ denotes the c-nilpotent multiplier of $G$. This implies that $exp( M(G))$ divides $exp(G)$, for all finite $p$-groups of class at most $p-1$. Moreover, we show that our result is an improvement...

The paper studies the role of neutrality in the tness landscapes associated with the evolutionary design of digital circuits and particularly the three-bit binary multiplier. For the purpose of the study, digital circuits are evolved extrinsically on an array of logic cells. To evolve on an array of cells, a genotype-phenotype mapping has been devised by which neutrality can be embedded in the ...

In this note‎, ‎we aim to show that several known generalizations of frames are equivalent to the continuous frame‎ ‎defined by Ali et al‎. ‎in 1993‎. ‎Indeed‎, ‎it is shown that these generalizations can be considered as an operator between two Hilbert spaces‎.

Let (G, u) be an Archimedean norm-complete dimension group with order-unit. Continuing a previous paper, we study intervals (i.e., nonempty upward directed lower subsets) of G which are closed with respect to the canonical norm of (G, u). In particular, we establish a canonical one-to-one correspondence between closed intervals of G and certain affine lower semicontinuous functions on the state...

Let G be any group and let K(G) denote the multiplier Hopf algebra of complex functions with finite support in G. The product in K(G) is pointwise. The comultiplication on K(G) is defined with values in the multiplier algebra M(K(G)⊗K(G)) by the formula (∆(f))(p, q) = f(pq) for all f ∈ K(G) and p, q ∈ G. In this paper we consider multiplier Hopf algebras B (over C) such that there is an embeddi...
