The aim of this paper is to construct new Dedekind type sums. We construct generating functions of Barnes’ type multiple FrobeniusEuler numbers and polynomials. By applying Mellin transformation to these functions, we define Barnes’ type multiple l-functions, which interpolate Frobenius-Euler numbers at negative integers. By using generalizations of the Frobenius-Euler functions, we define gene...

We study the dynamics of monodisperse hard ellipsoids via a new event-driven molecular dynamics algorithm as a function of volume fraction phi and aspect ratio X0. We evaluate the translational D(trans) and the rotational D(rot) diffusion coefficients and the associated isodiffusivity lines in the phi-X0 plane. We observe a decoupling of the translational and rotational dynamics which generates...

Unlike the uniform completion, the Dedekind completion of a vector lattice is not functorial. In order to repair the lack of functoriality of Dedekind completions, we enrich the signature of vector lattices with a proximity relation, thus arriving at the category pdv of proximity Dedekind vector lattices. We prove that the Dedekind completion induces a functor from the category bav of bounded a...

We propose an order index, phi, which gives a quantitative measure of randomness and order of complete genomic sequences. It maps genomes to a number from 0 (random and of infinite length) to 1 (fully ordered) and applies regardless of sequence length. The 786 complete genomic sequences in GenBank were found to have phi values in a very narrow range, phig=0.031(-0.015)+0.028. We show this impli...

We describe two prolonged bacteriophage blooms within sugar beet rhizospheres ensuing from an artificial increase in numbers of an indigenous soil bacterium. Further, we provide evidence of in situ competition between these phages. This is the first in situ demonstration of such microbial interactions in soil. To achieve this, sugar beet seeds were inoculated with Serratia liquefaciens CP6RS or...

Let $r>0, n\in\mathbb N, {\bf k}\in\mathbb N$. Consider the delay differential equation $$ x'(t)=g(x(t-d_1(Lx_t)),\ldots,x(t-d_{{\bf k}}(Lx_t))) for $g:( \mathbb R^n)^{{\bf k}}\supset V\to\mathbb R^n$ continuously differentiable, $L$ a continuous linear map from $C([-r,0],\mathbb R^n)$ into finite-dimensional vector-space $F$, each $d_k:F\supset W\to[0,r]$, $k=1,\ldots,{\bf k}$, and $x_t(s)=x(t...

let $mathcal{a}$ and $mathcal{b}$ be two $c^{*}$-algebras such that $mathcal{b}$ is prime. in this paper, we investigate the additivity of maps $phi$ from $mathcal{a}$ onto $mathcal{b}$ that are bijective, unital and satisfy $phi(ap+eta pa^{*})=phi(a)phi(p)+eta phi(p)phi(a)^{*},$ for all $ainmathcal{a}$ and $pin{p_{1},i_{mathcal{a}}-p_{1}}$ where $p_{1}$ is a nontrivial projection in $mathcal{a...

Let $mathcal{A}$ and $mathcal{B}$ be two $C^{*}$-algebras such that $mathcal{B}$ is prime. In this paper, we investigate the additivity of maps $Phi$ from $mathcal{A}$ onto $mathcal{B}$ that are bijective, unital and satisfy $Phi(AP+eta PA^{*})=Phi(A)Phi(P)+eta Phi(P)Phi(A)^{*},$ for all $Ainmathcal{A}$ and $Pin{P_{1},I_{mathcal{A}}-P_{1}}$ where $P_{1}$ is a nontrivial projection in $mathcal{A...

We study sums of the form ∑ ζ R(ζ), where R is a rational function and the sum is over all nth roots of unity ζ (often with ζ = 1 excluded). We call these generalized Dedekind sums, since the most well-known sums of this form are Dedekind sums. We discuss three methods for evaluating such sums: The method of factorization applies if we have an explicit formula for ∏ ζ(1− xR(ζ)). Multisection ca...
