The paper presents a spectral representation for general type two-sided discrete time signals from $\ell_\infty$, i.e for all bounded discrete time signals, including signals that do not vanish at $\pm\infty$. This representation allows to extend on the general type signals from $\ell_\infty$ the notions of transfer functions, spectrum gaps, and filters, and to obtain some frequency conditions of predictability and data recoverability.
This paper focuses on representing the $L^{\infty}$-norm of finite-dimensional linear time-invariant systems with parameter-dependent coefficients. Previous studies tackled the problem in a non-parametric scenario by simplifying it to finding the maximum $y$-projection of real solutions $(x, y)$ of a system of the form $\Sigma=\{P=0, \, \partial P/\partial x=0\}$, where $P \in \Z[x, y]$. To solve this problem, standard computer algebra methods were employed and analyzed \cite{bouzidi2021computation}. In this paper, we extend our approach to address the parametric case. We aim to represent the "maximal" $y$-projection of real solutions of $\Sigma$ as a function of the given parameters. %a set of parameters $\alpha$. To accomplish this, we utilize cylindrical algebraic decomposition. This method allows us to determine the desired value as a function of the parameters within specific regions of parameter space.

In this contribution, we provide a new mass lumping scheme for explicit dynamics in isogeometric analysis (IGA). To this end, an element formulation based on the idea of dual functionals is developed. Non-Uniform Rational B-splines (NURBS) are applied as shape functions and their corresponding dual basis functions are applied as test functions in the variational form, where two kinds of dual basis functions are compared. The first type are approximate dual basis functions (AD) with varying degree of reproduction, resulting in banded mass matrices. Dual basis functions derived from the inversion of the Gram matrix (IG) are the second type and already yield diagonal mass matrices. We will show that it is possible to apply the dual scheme as a transformation of the resulting system of equations based on NURBS as shape and test functions. Hence, it can be easily implemented into existing IGA routines. Treating the application of dual test functions as preconditioner reduces the additional computational effort, but it cannot entirely erase it and the density of the stiffness matrix still remains higher than in standard Bubnov-Galerkin formulations. In return applying additional row-sum lumping to the mass matrices is either not necessary for IG or the caused loss of accuracy is lowered to a reasonable magnitude in the case of AD. Numerical examples show a significantly better approximation of the dynamic behavior for the dual lumping scheme compared to standard NURBS approaches making use of row-sum lumping. Applying IG yields accurate numerical results without additional lumping. But as result of the global support of the IG dual basis functions, fully populated stiffness matrices occur, which are entirely unsuitable for explicit dynamic simulations. Combining AD and row-sum lumping leads to an efficient computation regarding effort and accuracy.
In this paper we develop and analyse domain decomposition methods for linear systems of equations arising from conforming finite element discretisations of positive Maxwell-type equations, namely for $\mathbf{H}(\mathbf{curl})$ problems. It is well known that convergence of domain decomposition methods rely heavily on the efficiency of the coarse space used in the second level. We design adaptive coarse spaces that complement a near-kernel space made from the gradient of scalar functions. The new class of preconditioner is inspired by the idea of subspace decomposition, but based on spectral coarse spaces, and is specially designed for curl-conforming discretisations of Maxwell's equations in heterogeneous media on general domains which may have holes. Our approach has wider applicability and theoretical justification than the well-known Hiptmair-Xu auxiliary space preconditioner, with results extending to the variable coefficient case and non-convex domains at the expense of a larger coarse space.
An $(r, \delta)$-locally repairable code ($(r, \delta)$-LRC for short) was introduced by Prakash et al. for tolerating multiple failed nodes in distributed storage systems, and has garnered significant interest among researchers. An $(r,\delta)$-LRC is called an optimal code if its parameters achieve the Singleton-like bound. In this paper, we construct three classes of $q$-ary optimal cyclic $(r,\delta)$-LRCs with new parameters by investigating the defining sets of cyclic codes. Our results generalize the related work of \cite{Chen2022,Qian2020}, and the obtained optimal cyclic $(r, \delta)$-LRCs have flexible parameters. A lot of numerical examples of optimal cyclic $(r, \delta)$-LRCs are given to show that our constructions are capable of generating new optimal cyclic $(r, \delta)$-LRCs.
Our companion paper \cite{Stojnicnflgscompyx23} introduced a very powerful \emph{fully lifted} (fl) statistical interpolating/comparison mechanism for bilinearly indexed random processes. Here, we present a particular realization of such fl mechanism that relies on a stationarization along the interpolating path concept. A collection of very fundamental relations among the interpolating parameters is uncovered, contextualized, and presented. As a nice bonus, in particular special cases, we show that the introduced machinery allows various simplifications to forms readily usable in practice. Given how many well known random structures and optimization problems critically rely on the results of the type considered here, the range of applications is pretty much unlimited. We briefly point to some of these opportunities as well.
A powerful statistical interpolating concept, which we call \emph{fully lifted} (fl), is introduced and presented while establishing a connection between bilinearly indexed random processes and their corresponding fully decoupled (linearly indexed) comparative alternatives. Despite on occasion very involved technical considerations, the final interpolating forms and their underlying relations admit rather elegant expressions that provide conceivably highly desirable and useful tool for further studying various different aspects of random processes and their applications. We also discuss the generality of the considered models and show that they encompass many well known random structures and optimization problems to which then the obtained results automatically apply.
In this paper, we consider a problem which we call LTL$_f$ model checking on paths: given a DFA $\mathcal{A}$ and a formula $\phi$ in LTL on finite traces, does there exist a word $w$ such that every path starting in a state of $\mathcal{A}$ and labeled by $w$ satisfies $\phi$? The original motivation for this problem comes from the constrained parts orienting problem, introduced in [Petra Wolf, "Synchronization Under Dynamic Constraints", FSTTCS 2020], where the input constraints restrict the order in which certain states are visited for the first or the last time while reading a word $w$ which is also required to synchronize $\mathcal{A}$. We identify very general conditions under which LTL$_f$ model checking on paths is solvable in polynomial space. For the particular constraints in the parts orienting problem, we consider PSPACE-complete cases and one NP-complete case. The former provide very strong lower bound for LTL$_f$ model checking on paths. The latter is related to (classical) LTL$_f$ model checking for formulas with the until modality only and with no nesting of operators. We also consider LTL$_f$ model checking of the power-set automaton of a given DFA, and get similar results for this setting. For all our problems, we consider the case where the required word must also be synchronizing, and prove that if the problem does not become trivial, then this additional constraint does not change the complexity.
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 $\Fq,$ 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 prove discrete-to-continuum convergence for dynamical optimal transport on $\mathbb{Z}^d$-periodic graphs with energy density having linear growth at infinity. This result provides an answer to a problem left open by Gladbach, Kopfer, Maas, and Portinale (Calc Var Partial Differential Equations 62(5), 2023), where the convergence behaviour of discrete boundary-value dynamical transport problems is proved under the stronger assumption of superlinear growth. Our result extends the known literature to some important classes of examples, such as scaling limits of 1-Wasserstein transport problems. Similarly to what happens in the quadratic case, the geometry of the graph plays a crucial role in the structure of the limit cost function, as we discuss in the final part of this work, which includes some visual representations.
