We show using duality and category theory that the profinite completion  of a bounded distributive lattice expansion A is a homomorphic image of the canonical extension Aσ . Moreover the natural mapping μ : A →  can be extended to a surjection ν : Aσ ! Â.

We prove that the quantum cohomology ring of any minuscule or cominuscule homogeneous space, once localized at the quantum parameter, has a non trivial involution mapping Schubert classes to multiples of Schubert classes. This can be stated as a strange duality property for the Gromov-Witten invariants, which turn out to be very symmetric.

We are concerned with surjectivity of perturbations of maximal monotone operators in non-reflexive Banach spaces. While in a reflexive setting, a classical surjectivity result due to Rockafellar gives a necessary and sufficient condition to maximal monotonicity, in a nonreflexive space we characterize maximality using a “enlarged” version of the duality mapping, introduced previously by Gossez....

A closed 4-manifold (or, more generally, a finite PD4space) has a finitely dominated infinite regular covering space if and only if either its universal covering space is finitely dominated or it is finitely covered by the mapping torus of a self homotopy equivalence of a PD3-complex. A Poincaré duality space is a space X of the homotopy type of a cell complex which satisfies Poincaré duality w...

This paper proposes a model of speaker-normalized acoustic-toarticulatory mapping using statistical voice conversion. A mapping function from acoustic parameters to articulatory parameters is usually developed with a single speaker’s parallel data. Hence the constructed mapping model can work appropriately only for this specific speaker, and applying this model to other speakers degrades the pe...

This paper presents a potentially powerful canonical dual transformation method and associated duality theory for solving fully nonlinear distributed-parameter control problems. The extended Lagrange duality and the interesting triality theory proposed recently in finite deformation theory are generalized into nonconvex dynamical systems. A bifurcation criterion is proposed, which leads to an e...

The paper presents a novel mapping and routing technique for the mesh based NoC design problem with an objective of minimizing the energy consumption and normalized worst link-load. The proposed algorithm PLBMR is a particle swarm optimization (PSO) based two phases process, one is mapping core onto NoC to minimize the NoC communication energy consumption, and another is the allocation of routi...

In this work we propose a randomized algorithm to estimate the street-level commuting route using call detail records (CDRs). Our algorithm works in three steps. First, for each individual, we create perturbations of estimated home and work locations within the cell tower coverage. Second, we identify a route between each pair of both locations through a web mapping service. Finally, we choose ...

A population of 146 RILs (Recombinant Inbred Line) was derived from the cross between a cold-sensitive cultivated Solanum lycopersicum L. XF98-7 and a cold-tolerant wild Solanum pimpinellifolium LA2184. Relative germination ratio (RGR) and chilling index (CI) were used to evaluate the cold tolerance of the parental lines and RILs. It was found that the RGR and CI were significantly different be...

in this paper, we try to determine the status of the relation between dahr world and matrial world. the conclusion shows the subjective duality and objective unity of dahr and material entities. two interpretations of this duality can be suggested. in the first interpretation, this unity, and the duality supposed, are explained on the basis of different intellectual cognition of immaterial and ...
