چکیده
For any network Q; one may consider the zero-sum search game (Q) in which the (minimizing) Searcher picks a unit speed path S (t) in Q; the Hider picks a pointH inQ; and the payo¤is the meeting time T = min ft : S (t) = Hg : We show rst that ifQ is symmetric (edge and vertex transitive), then it is optimal for the Hider to pickH uniformly inQ; so that the Searcher must follow a Utilitarian Postman path (one which minimizes the time to reach a random point). We then show that if Q is symmetric of odd degree, with n vertices and m unit length edges, the value V of (Q) satis es V m 2 + n 2n 8m ; with equality if and only if Q has a path v1; v2; : : : ; vn 1 of distinct vertices, such that the edge set Q [ 2)=2 i=1 (v2i; v2i+1) is connected.

Topological Stable Rank of H ∞ ( Ω ) for Circular Domains
— Let Ω be a circular domain, that is, an open disk with finitely many closed disjoint disks removed. Denote by H(Ω) the Banach algebra of all bounded holomorphic functions on Ω, with pointwise operations and the supremum norm. We show that the topological stable rank of H(Ω) is equal to 2. The proof is based on Suarez’s theorem that the topological stable rank of H(D) is equal to 2, where D is...
متن کاملNoncoherence of a Causal Wiener Algebra Used in Control Theory
Let C+ := {s ∈ C | Re(s) ≥ 0} and let A denote the ring A = ( s(∈ C+) 7→ b fa(s) + ∞ X k=0 fke −stk ̨̨̨̨ fa ∈ L(0,∞), (fk)k≥0 ∈ `, 0 = t0 < t1 < t2 < . . . ) equipped with pointwise operations. (Here b· denotes the Laplace transform.) It is shown that the ring A is not coherent, answering a question of Alban Quadrat [6, p. 30]. In fact, we present two principal ideals in the domain A whose intersec...
متن کاملWeak Beurling Property and Extensions to Invertibility
Let E , E∗ be Hilbert spaces. Given a Hilbert space H of holomorphic functions in a domain Ω in C, consider the multiplier space MH(E , E∗). It is shown that for “nice enough” H, the following statements are equivalent for f ∈ MH(E , E∗): (1) There exists a g ∈ MH(E∗, E) such that g(z)f(z) = IE for all z ∈ Ω. (2) There exists a Hilbert space Ec and fc ∈ MH(Ec, E∗) such that F (z) := [ f(z) fc(z...
متن کاملCDAM research report LSE-CDAM-2007-39 THE SECOND LARGEST COMPONENT IN THE SUPERCRITICAL 2D HAMMING GRAPH
The 2-dimensional Hamming graph H(2, n) consists of the n vertices (i, j), 1 ≤ i, j ≤ n, two vertices being adjacent when they share a common coordinate. We examine random subgraphs of H(2, n) in percolation with edge probability p, so that the average degree 2(n−1)p = 1 + . Previous work [5] had shown that in the barely supercritical region n−2/3 ln n 1 the largest component has size ∼ 2 n. He...
متن کاملStable Ranks of Banach Algebras of Operator-valued H Functions
Let E be an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space, and let H L(E) denote the Banach algebra of all functions f : D → L(E) that are holomorphic and bounded, equipped with the supremum norm ‖f‖∞ := supz∈D ‖f(z)‖L(E), f ∈ H ∞ L(E). We show that the Bass and topological stable ranks of H L(E) are infinite. If S is an open subset of T, then let A S L(E) denote the subalgebra of H L(E) of all functions ...
