Finite-state automata called transducers, which have both input and output, can be used to model simple mechanisms of biological mutation. We present a methodology whereby numerically-weighted versions of such speciications can be mechanically adapted to create string edit machines that are essentially equivalent to recurrence relations of the sort that characterize dynamic programming alignmen...

We consider the problem of admissible quadratic estimation of a linear function of μ and σ in n dimensional normal model N(Kμ, σIn) under quadratic risk function. After reducing this problem to admissible estimation of a linear function of two quadratic forms, the set of admissible estimators are characterized by giving formulae on the boundary of the set D ⊂ R of components of the two quadrati...

Two conjectures on admissible control operators by George Weiss are disproved in this paper. One conjecture says that an operator B defined on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space U is an admissible control operator if for every element u ∈ U the vector Bu defines an admissible control operator. The other conjecture says that B is an admissible control operator if a certain resolvent estimate ...

Any admissible portfolio performance measure should satisfy four minimal conditions: it assigns zero performance to each reference portfolio and it is linear, continuous, and nontrivial. Such an admissible measure exists if and only if the securities market obeys the law of one price. A positive admissible measure exists if and only if there is no arbitrage. This article characterizes the (infi...

We examine a special case of admissible representations of the closed interval, namely those which arise via sequences of a finite number of Möbius transformations. We regard certain sets of Möbius transformations as a generalized notion of digits and introduce sufficient conditions that such a “digit set” yields an admissible representation of [0,+∞]. Furthermore we establish the productivity ...

A Lie-admissible algebra gives a Lie algebra by anticommutativity. In this work we describe remarkable types of Lie-admissible algebras such as Vinberg algebras, pre-Lie algebras or Lie algebras. We compute the corresponding binary quadratic operads and study their duality. Considering Lie algebras as Lie-admissible algebras, we can define for each Lie algebra a cohomology with values in an Lie...

In this paper we consider admissible domain representations of topological spaces. A domain representation D of a space X is λ-admissible if, in principle, all other λ-based domain representations E of X can be reduced to D via a continuous function from E to D. We present a characterisation theorem of when a topological space has a λ-admissible and κ-based domain representation. We also prove ...

Consider non-negative lattice paths ending at their maximum height, which will be called admissible paths. We show that the probability for a lattice path to be admissible is related to the Chebyshev polynomials of the first or second kind, depending on whether the lattice path is defined with a reflective barrier or not. Parameters like the number of admissible paths with given length or the e...

For a particle in box, the operator $-i\partial_x$ is not self-adjoint and thus does qualify as physical momentum. As result, general Ehrenfest theorem violated. Based upon recently developed new concept for momentum operator, we reconsider find that it now indeed satisfied all physically admissible boundary conditions. We illustrate these results bouncing wave packets which first spread, then ...
