This paper presents a method of inductive inference of real-valued functions from given pairs of observed data of (x; h(x)), where h is a target function to be inferred. Each of such observed data inevitably involves some ranges of errors, and hence it is usually represented by a pair of rational numbers which show the approximate value and the error bound, respectively. On the other hand, a re...

The first work on digital steganography was published in 1983 by cryptographer Gustavus Simmons [217], who formulated the problem of steganographic communication in an illustrative example that is now known as the prisoners’ problem. Two prisoners want to cook up an escape plan together. They may communicate with each other, but all their communication is monitored by a warden. As soon as the w...

Three results about the groups A7 , As) L3(2), L4(2) and the Lorimer-Rahilly plane are proved in a unified way. My principal contact with Alan Rahilly was through a certain projective plane of order 16. He had found it as one of an infinite class of generalized Hall planes he constructed in his thesis at Sydney University [9], while I had found it as an isolated plane which I identified through...

Simple, separable, unital, monotracial and nuclear C∗-algebras are shown to have finite nuclear dimension whenever they absorb the Jiang–Su algebraZ tensorially. This completes the proof of the Toms–Winter conjecture in the unique trace case. The structure theory of simple nuclearC∗-algebras is currently undergoing revolutionary progress, driven by the discovery of regularity properties of vari...

An electronic service (e-service) can be defined as a collection of network-resident software programs that collaborate for supporting users in both accessing and selecting data and services of their interest present in a provider site. Examples of e-services are e-commerce, e-learning, and e-government applications. E-services are undoubtedly one of the engines presently supporting the Interne...

We study the exchange physics in high-spin Mott insulating systems with S=3/2 which is realizable in ultracold atomic systems. The high symmetry of SO 5 or SU 4 therein renders stronger quantum fluctuations than the usual spin-1 /2 systems. A spontaneous plaquette ground state without any site and bond spin orders is rigorously proved in a ladder spin-3 /2 model, whose topological excitations e...

We discuss several issues regarding analyses which use loop calculations to put constraints on anomalous trilinear gauge boson couplings (TGC's). Many such analyses give far too stringent bounds. This is independent of questions of gauge invariance, contrary to the recent claims of de Rújula et. al., since the lagrangians used in these calculations are gauge invariant, but the SU (2) L × U (1) ...

This paper develops a Bertrand price competition model with di erentiated goods in which export subsidies are compared to exchange rate depreciation as di erent government policies for promoting exports. National governments may wish to help domestic rms to expand market shares in pro table areas and might do this through either one of these two tools.Their e ects on equilibrium values are anal...

Ordinary technicolor and extended technicolor cannot produce the heavy top quark unaided. We demonstrate that a flavor-universal extension of the color interactions combined with an extended hypercharge sector that singles out the third generation can provide the necessary assistance. We discuss current experimental constraints and suggest how collider experiments can search for the predicted n...
