چکیده

Recent advances in twistor theory are applied to geometric optics in R 3. The general formulae for reflection of a wavefront in a surface are derived and in three special cases explicit descriptions are provided: when the reflecting surface is a plane, when the incoming wave is a plane and when the incoming wave is spherical. In each case particular examples are computed exactly and the results plotted to illustrate the outgoing wavefront.

The entropy of an ergodic finite-alphabet process can be computed from a single typical sample path x1 using the entropy of the k-block empirical probability and letting k grow with n roughly like logn. We further assume that the distribution of the process is a g-measure. We prove large deviation principles for conditional, non-conditional and relative k(n)-block empirical entropies.

Let A be the ring obtained by localizing the polynomial ring κ[X, Y, Z, W ] over a field κ at the maximal ideal (X, Y, Z, W) and modulo the ideal (XW − Y Z). Let p be the ideal of A generated by X and Y. We study the module structure of a minimal injective resolution of A/p in details using local cohomology. Applications include the description of Ext i A (M, A/p), where M is a module construct...
