In this paper we generalize the notion of $n$-equivalence relation introduced by Chen et al. in \cite{Chen2014} to classify constacyclic codes of length $n$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, where $q=p^r$ is a prime power, to the case of skew constacyclic codes without derivation. We call this relation $(n,\sigma)$-equivalence relation, where $n$ is the length of the code and $ \sigma$ is an automorphism of the finite field. We compute the number of $(n,\sigma)$-equivalence classes, and we give conditions on $ \lambda$ and $\mu$ for which $(\sigma, \lambda)$-constacyclic codes and $(\sigma, \lambda)$-constacyclic codes are equivalent with respect to our $(n,\sigma)$-equivalence relation. Under some conditions on $n$ and $q$ we prove that skew constacyclic codes are equivalent to cyclic codes. We also prove that when $q$ is even and $\sigma$ is the Frobenius autmorphism, skew constacyclic codes of length $n$ are equivalent to cyclic codes when $\gcd(n,r)=1$. Finally we give some examples as applications of the theory developed here.
We develop a numerical method for the Westervelt equation, an important equation in nonlinear acoustics, in the form where the attenuation is represented by a class of non-local in time operators. A semi-discretisation in time based on the trapezoidal rule and A-stable convolution quadrature is stated and analysed. Existence and regularity analysis of the continuous equations informs the stability and error analysis of the semi-discrete system. The error analysis includes the consideration of the singularity at $t = 0$ which is addressed by the use of a correction in the numerical scheme. Extensive numerical experiments confirm the theory.
In this paper we investigate the existence, uniqueness and approximation of solutions of delay differential equations (DDEs) with the right-hand side functions $f=f(t,x,z)$ that are Lipschitz continuous with respect to $x$ but only H\"older continuous with respect to $(t,z)$. We give a construction of the randomized two-stage Runge-Kutta scheme for DDEs and investigate its upper error bound in the $L^p(\Omega)$-norm for $p\in [2,+\infty)$. Finally, we report on results of numerical experiments.
We give a lower bound of $\Omega(\sqrt n)$ on the unambiguous randomised parity-query complexity of the approximate majority problem -- that is, on the lowest randomised parity-query complexity of any function over $\{0,1\}^n$ whose value is "0" if the Hamming weight of the input is at most n/3, is "1" if the weight is at least 2n/3, and may be arbitrary otherwise.
Comparisons of frequency distributions often invoke the concept of shift to describe directional changes in properties such as the mean. In the present study, we sought to define shift as a property in and of itself. Specifically, we define distributional shift (DS) as the concentration of frequencies away from the discrete class having the greatest value (e.g., the right-most bin of a histogram). We derive a measure of DS using the normalized sum of exponentiated cumulative frequencies. We then define relative distributional shift (RDS) as the difference in DS between two distributions, revealing the magnitude and direction by which one distribution is concentrated to lesser or greater discrete classes relative to another. We find that RDS is highly related to popular measures that, while based on the comparison of frequency distributions, do not explicitly consider shift. While RDS provides a useful complement to other comparative measures, DS allows shift to be quantified as a property of individual distributions, similar in concept to a statistical moment.
In this paper, we formulate and analyse a geometric low-regularity integrator for solving the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation in the $d$-dimensional space with $d=1,2,3$. The integrator is constructed based on the two-step trigonometric method and thus it has a simple form. Error estimates are rigorously presented to show that the integrator can achieve second-order time accuracy in the energy space under the regularity requirement in $H^{1+\frac{d}{4}}\times H^{\frac{d}{4}}$. Moreover, the time symmetry of the scheme ensures its good long-time energy conservation which is rigorously proved by the technique of modulated Fourier expansions. A numerical test is presented and the numerical results demonstrate the superiorities of the new integrator over some existing methods.
In this paper, we consider a numerical method for the multi-term Caputo-Fabrizio time-fractional diffusion equations (with orders $\alpha_i\in(0,1)$, $i=1,2,\cdots,n$). The proposed method employs a fast finite difference scheme to approximate multi-term fractional derivatives in time, requiring only $O(1)$ storage and $O(N_T)$ computational complexity, where $N_T$ denotes the total number of time steps. Then we use a Legendre spectral collocation method for spatial discretization. The stability and convergence of the scheme have been thoroughly discussed and rigorously established. We demonstrate that the proposed scheme is unconditionally stable and convergent with an order of $O(\left(\Delta t\right)^{2}+N^{-m})$, where $\Delta t$, $N$, and $m$ represent the timestep size, polynomial degree, and regularity in the spatial variable of the exact solution, respectively. Numerical results are presented to validate the theoretical predictions.
Statistical inverse learning aims at recovering an unknown function $f$ from randomly scattered and possibly noisy point evaluations of another function $g$, connected to $f$ via an ill-posed mathematical model. In this paper we blend statistical inverse learning theory with the classical regularization strategy of applying finite-dimensional projections. Our key finding is that coupling the number of random point evaluations with the choice of projection dimension, one can derive probabilistic convergence rates for the reconstruction error of the maximum likelihood (ML) estimator. Convergence rates in expectation are derived with a ML estimator complemented with a norm-based cut-off operation. Moreover, we prove that the obtained rates are minimax optimal.
We study the algorithmic undecidability of abstract dynamical properties for sofic $\mathbb{Z}^{2}$-subshifts and subshifts of finite type (SFTs) on $\mathbb{Z}^{2}$. Within the class of sofic $\mathbb{Z}^{2}$-subshifts, we prove the undecidability of every nontrivial dynamical property. We show that although this is not the case for $\mathbb{Z}^{2}$-SFTs, it is still possible to establish the undecidability of a large class of dynamical properties. This result is analogous to the Adian-Rabin undecidability theorem for group properties. Besides dynamical properties, we consider dynamical invariants of $\mathbb{Z}^{2}$-SFTs taking values in partially ordered sets. It is well known that the topological entropy of a $\mathbb{Z}^{2}$-SFT can not be effectively computed from an SFT presentation. We prove a generalization of this result to \emph{every} dynamical invariant which is nonincreasing by factor maps, and satisfies a mild additional technical condition. Our results are also valid for $\Z^{d}$, $d\geq2$, and more generally for any group where determining whether a subshift of finite type is empty is undecidable.
We generalize the Poisson limit theorem to binary functions of random objects whose law is invariant under the action of an amenable group. Examples include stationary random fields, exchangeable sequences, and exchangeable graphs. A celebrated result of E. Lindenstrauss shows that normalized sums over certain increasing subsets of such groups approximate expectations. Our results clarify that the corresponding unnormalized sums of binary statistics are asymptotically Poisson, provided suitable mixing conditions hold. They extend further to randomly subsampled sums and also show that strict invariance of the distribution is not needed if the requisite mixing condition defined by the group holds. We illustrate the results with applications to random fields, Cayley graphs, and Poisson processes on groups.
This paper studies the convergence of a spatial semidiscretization of a three-dimensional stochastic Allen-Cahn equation with multiplicative noise. For non-smooth initial values, the regularity of the mild solution is investigated, and an error estimate is derived with the spatial $ L^2 $-norm. For smooth initial values, two error estimates with the general spatial $ L^q $-norms are established.
