By working with coefficients in Z or R, one can define two different notions of stability for a sandpile on graph. We call immutable when these agree. Our main results give linear-algebraic characterizations large classes sandpiles.

We extend a Java-like language with immutability specifications and a static type system for verifying immutability. A class modifier immutable specifies that all class instances are immutable objects. Ownership types specify the depth of object states and enforce encapsulation of representation objects. The type system guarantees that the state of immutable objects does not visibly mutate duri...

A fixed length code is called immutable if no codeword can be transformed into another codeword by using only a restricted set of symbol changes. Immutable codes are used to prevent undetectable updates of information stored over write-once memories 1141. In this paper we consider immutable codes on the alphabet Q = (0, . . . , q11.

Additionally, in Study 2 (72 unde...
