Relative to a hereditary torsion theory $tau$ we introduce a dimension for a module $M$, called {em $tau$-rank of} $M$, which coincides with the reduced rank of $M$ whenever $tau$ is the Goldie torsion theory. It is shown that the $tau$-rank of $M$ is measured by the length of certain decompositions of the $tau$-injective hull of $M$. Moreover, some relations between the $tau$-rank of $M$ and c...

‎Let $R$ be a $*$-prime ring with center‎ ‎$Z(R)$‎, ‎$d$ a non-zero $(sigma,tau)$-derivation of $R$ with associated‎ ‎automorphisms $sigma$ and $tau$ of $R$‎, ‎such that $sigma$‎, ‎$tau$‎ ‎and $d$ commute with $'*'$‎. ‎Suppose that $U$ is an ideal of $R$ such that $U^*=U$‎, ‎and $C_{sigma,tau}={cin‎ ‎R~|~csigma(x)=tau(x)c~mbox{for~all}~xin R}.$ In the present paper‎, ‎it is shown that if charac...

The existing tau-selection strategy, which was designed for explicit tau leaping, is here modified to apply to implicit tau leaping, allowing for longer steps when the system is stiff. Further, an adaptive strategy that identifies stiffness and automatically chooses between the explicit and the (new) implicit tau-selection methods to achieve better efficiency is proposed. Numerical testing demo...

 A topoframe, denoted by $L_{ tau}$,  is a pair $(L, tau)$ consisting of a frame $L$ and a subframe $ tau $ all of whose elements are complementary elements in $L$. In this paper, we define and study the notions of a $tau $-real-continuous function on a frame $L$ and the set of real continuous functions $mathcal{R}L_tau $ as an $f$-ring. We show that $mathcal{R}L_{ tau}$ is actually a generali...

Abstract. It is proved that the eigenvalues of the Jacobi Tau method for the second derivative operator with Dirichlet boundary conditions are real, negative and distinct for a range of the Jacobi parameters. Special emphasis is placed on the symmetric case of the Gegenbauer Tau method where the range of parameters included in the theorems can be extended and characteristic polynomials given by...

For chemical systems involving both fast and slow scales, stiffness presents challenges for efficient stochastic simulation. Two different avenues have been explored to solve this problem. One is the slow-scale stochastic simulation (ssSSA) based on the stochastic partial equilibrium assumption. The other is the tau-leaping method. In this paper we propose a new algorithm, the slow-scale tau-le...

The Tau Method, by construction, produces approximate polynomial solutions of differential equations. The purpose of this paper is to extend the Tau Method to the Integro-Differential equations. An efficient error estimation for the Tau method is also introduced. Details of this method are presented and some numerical results along with estimated errors are given to clarify the method and its e...

Tau is one of several types of microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs), responsible for the assembly and stability of microtubule networks that is present only in neurons and predominantly localized in axons which its functions are tightly regulated by phosphorylation. Via as yet unknown mechanisms, tau becomes hyperphosphorylated and accompanies with neuronal degeneration, loss of synapses...

A topoframe, denoted by $L_{ tau}$, is a pair $(L, tau)$ consisting of a frame $L$ and a subframe $ tau $ all of whose elements are complementary elements in$L$. $f$-ring $mathcal{R}(L_{ tau})$ is equal to the set $${fin Frm(mathcal{P}(mathbb R), L): f(mathfrak{O}(mathbb R))subseteq tau} .$$ In this paper, for every complemented element $ain L$ with $a, a'...
