The paper is concerned with algebras whose elements can be used to represent runs of a system from a state to a state. These algebras, called multiplicative transition systems, are categories with respect to a partial binary operation called composition. They can be characterized by axioms such that their elements and operations can be represented by partially ordered multisets of a certain typ...

We prove that the q-Gaussian distribution is freely infinitely divisible for all q ∈ [0, 1].

We give an infinite family of functions involving the gamma function whose logarithmic derivatives are completely monotonic. Each such function gives rise to an infinitely divisible probability distribution. Other similar results are also obtained for specific combinations of the gamma and q-gamma functions.

‎Linear semi-infinite programming problem is an important class of optimization problems which deals with infinite constraints‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎to solve this problem‎, ‎we combine a discretization method and a neural network method‎. ‎By a simple discretization of the infinite constraints,we convert the linear semi-infinite programming problem into linear programming problem‎. ‎Then‎, ‎we use...

Skepticism about moral responsibility is one of the most elaborated approaches to this important phenomenon in contemporary philosophical literature. In paper, I use skeptical approach general, and specific arguments particular, clarify connections between conditions an appropriate attribution re­sponsibility structural elements attitude. A distinction made dogmatism a critical morality, classi...

We use a computational model to explore the effect of foam cell accumulation on plaque regression following an increase in high density lipoprotein (HDL) influx into the plaque. Atherosclerotic plaque formation is the outcome of cellular and cytokine responses to low density lipoproteins (LDL) that penetrate the artery wall following an injury to the endothelium and become modified. We modelled...
