Most of state-of-the-art parallel SAT solvers are portfolio-based ones. They aim at running several times the same solver with different parameters. In this paper, we propose a solver called Dolius, based on the divide and conquer paradigm. In contrast to most current parallel efficient engines, Dolius does not need shared memory, can be distributed, and scales well when a large number of compu...

The quotient of the upper half plane by Γ1(N), acting by fractional linear transformations, is the complex manifold associated to an affine algebraic curve Y1(N)/C. This curve has a natural model Y1(N)/Q, which for N > 3 is a fine moduli scheme for elliptic curves with a point of exact order N . We will let X1(N) denote the smooth projective curve which contains Y1(N) as a dense Zariski open su...

1.1. Our purpose in this note is to study the limiting distribution of zeros of modular forms. We review some definitions: A modular form of weight k for SL2(Z) is a holomorphic function on the upper half-plane H, transforming as f( cz+d ) = (cz + d)f(z), for all ( a b c d ) ∈ SL2(Z) (this forces k to be even), and “holomorphic at the cusp” (see § 2.1). A form is cuspidal if it vanishes at the ...

Aims. Our aim is to compare the adequacy and diagnostic yield of samples obtained by the endometrial Explora Sampler I-MX120 with endometrial specimens obtained by conventional dilatation and curettage (D&C). Methods. A total of 1270 endometrial samples were received in the histopathology laboratories at the King Khalid University Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, between 2007 and 2010. In the ou...

Here the action |k of PSL2(R) on functions g : H 7→ C is defined by (g|kγ)(z) = g(γz)(cz + d)−k with γ = ( ∗ ∗ c d ) in PSL2(R). We extend the action to the group ring C[PSL2(R)] by linearity. This definition can be extended in a natural way to higher-order forms. (Note that the order in this definition differs from that in the definitions given in previous papers in the subject. The reason for...

,4bstruct.-Critical swimming speed (U,,,) is a common rneHsure of the relationship between exercise intensity and duration within the prolonged perforn~nnce nvelope. This relationship is often used to establish wntcr velocity criterin for fishways and culverts; however, the technique involves the nssumptions that fish will choose to move at ( I ) n swimming spced cquivulent to U,,, and (2) a gr...

We study evolutionary game dynamics in a well-mixed populations of finite size, N . A well-mixed population means that any two individuals are equally likely to interact. In particular we consider the average abundances of two strategies, A and B, under mutation and selection. The game dynamical interaction between the two strategies is given by the 2 × 2 payoff matrix ( a b c d ) . It has prev...
