The multiplicative theory of a set of numbers is the theory of the structure of that set with (solely) the multiplication operation (that set is taken to be multiplicative, i.e., closed under multiplication). In this paper we study the multiplicative theories of the complex, real and (positive) rational numbers. These theories are known to be decidable; here we present some explicit axiomatizat...

One of unsolved problems in quantum measurement theory is to characterize coexistence of quantum effects. In this paper, applying positive operator matrix theory, we give a mathematical characterization of the witness set of coexistence of quantum effects and obtain a series of properties of coexistence. We also devote to characterizing bijective morphisms on quantum effects leaving the witness...

Blanton and Jaccard (2006) questioned the 4-test regression method used by Greenwald et al. (2002) to test a pure multiplicative theory. The present authors address Blanton and Jaccard’s concerns with a combination of simulations and meta-analysis. Simulations show that (a) Blanton and Jaccard’s preferred simultaneous regression method has a severe power loss in testing multiplicative theories ...

The theory of multiplicative stochastic processes is contrasted with the theory of additive stochastic processes. The case of multiplicative factors which are purely random, Gaussian, stochastic processes is treated in detail. In a spirit originally introduced by theoretical work in nuclear magnetic resonance and greatly extended by Kubo, dissipative behavior is demonstrated, on the average, fo...

The weak ergodic theorems of mathematical demography state that the age distribution of a closed population is asymptotically independent of the initial distribution. In this paper, we provide a new proof of the weak ergodic theorem of the multistate population model with continuous time. The main tool to attain this purpose is a theory of multiplicative processes, which was mainly developed by...

In 1962, Gallagher proved a higher-dimensional version of Khintchine’s theorem on Diophantine approximation. Gallagher’s states that for any non-increasing approximation function ψ: ℕ → (0, 1/2) with $$\sum\nolimits_{q = 1}^\infty {\psi \left( q \right)} $$ and γ γ′ 0 the following set $$\left\{ {\left( {x,y} \right) \in {{\left[ {0,\,1} \right]}^2}:\left\| {qx - \gamma } \right\|\left\| {qy {\...

Semilinear stochastic evolution equations with multiplicative Poisson noise and monotone nonlinear drift in Hilbert spaces are considered‎. ‎The coefficients are assumed to have linear growth‎. ‎We do not impose coercivity conditions on coefficients‎. ‎A novel method of proof for establishing existence and uniqueness of the mild solution is proposed‎. ‎Examples on stochastic partial differentia...
