We continue the study of the Newton polytope Pm,n of the product of all maximal minors of an m x n-matrix of indeterminates. The vertices of Pm,n are encoded by coherent matching fields A = (A z) , where z runs over all m-element subsets of columns, and each Az is a bijection z —> [m]. We show that coherent matching fields satisfy some axioms analogous to the basis exchange axiom in the matroid...

Since security and privacy problems in RFID systems have attracted much attention, numerous RFID authentication protocols have been suggested. One of the various design approaches is to use light-weight logics such as bitwise Boolean operations and addition modulo 2 between m-bits words. Because these operations can be implemented in a small chip area, that is the major requirement in RFID prot...

in this paper we develop a natural generalization of schauder basis theory, we term operator-valued basis or simply ov-basis theory, using operator-algebraic methods. we prove several results for ov-basis concerning duality, orthogonality, biorthogonality and minimality. we prove that the operators of a dual ov-basis are continuous. we also dene the concepts of bessel, hilbert ov-basis and obt...

Since it is well-known that the Vandermonde matrix is ill-conditioned, while the interpolation itself is not unstable in function space, this paper surveys the choices of other new bases. These bases are data-dependent and are categorized into discretely l2-orthonormal and continuously L2-orthonormal bases. The first one construct a unitary Gramian matrix in the space l2(X) while the late...

g-frames in hilbert spaces are a redundant set of operators which yield a repre-sentation for each vector in the space. in this paper we investigate the connection betweeng-frames, g-orthonormal bases and g-riesz bases. we show that a family of bounded opera-tors is a g-bessel sequences if and only if the gram matrix associated to its denes a boundedoperator.

We consider the set M = { ( a . 11): n bh mod.rL') of all solutions of the key equation for alternant codes, where h is the syndrome polynomial. In decoding these codes a particular solution (d. (T) E M is sought, subject to d and being relatively prime and satisfying certain degree conditions. We prove that these requirements specify (d. (T ) uniquely as the minimal element of M (analogous to ...
