The leading order low energy parameters like the pion decay constant or the quark condensate are well-known from “classical” low energy theorems and experiments. It is a challenge, however, to find these parameters based exclusively on an ab-initio QCD calculation. We discuss results of a quenched lattice calculation of low energy constants using the chirally improved Dirac operator. Several la...

We define the concept of weighted lattice polynomial functions as lattice polynomial functions constructed from both variables and parameters. We provide equivalent forms of these functions in an arbitrary bounded distributive lattice. We also show that these functions include the class of discrete Sugeno integrals and that they are characterized by a remarkable median based decomposition formula.

We discuss lattice methods to obtain the derivatives of a lattice meson mass with respect to the bare sea and valence quark masses. Applications are made to quenched and dynamical fermion configurations. We find evidence for significant differences between quenched and dynamical fermion configurations. We discuss how to relate dependence on the bare lattice parameters to more phenomenologically...

We study a three dimensional Z(3)-symmetric effective theory of high temperature QCD. The exact lattice-continuum relations, needed in order to perform lattice simulations with physical parameters, are computed to order O(a 0) in lattice perturbation theory. Lattice simulations are performed to determine the phase structure of a subset of the parameter space. Z(3)-symmetric effective theory of ...

The classical Chung-Feller theorem [2] tells us that the number of Dyck paths of length n with m flaws is the n-th Catalan number and independent on m. L. Shapiro [9] found the Chung-Feller properties for the Motzkin paths. Mohanty’s book [5] devotes an entire section to exploring Chung-Feller theorem. Many Chung-Feller theorems are consequences of the results in [5]. In this paper, we consider...

Three different algorithms, as implemented in three different computer programs, were put to the task of extracting direct space lattice parameters from four sets of synthetic images that were per design more or less periodic in two dimensions (2D). One of the test images in each set was per design free of noise and, therefore, genuinely 2D periodic so that it adhered perfectly to the constrain...

This paper proposes a new lattice filter structure that has the following properties. When the filter is Linear Time Invariant (LTI), it is equivalent to the celebrated Gray Markel Lattice. When the lattice parameters vary with time it sustains arbitrary rate of time variations without sacrificing a prescribed degree of stability, provided that the lattice coefficients are magnitude bounded in ...

in this paper, we define the notions of fuzzy congruence relations and fuzzy convex subalgebras on a commutative residuated lattice and we obtain some related results. in particular, we will show that there exists a one to one correspondence between the set of all fuzzy congruence relations and the set of all fuzzy convex subalgebras on a commutative residuated lattice. then we study fuzzy...

Static quark potential is studied using a tadpole improved gauge lattice action. The scale is set using the potential for a wide range of bare parameters. The renormalized anisotropy of the lattice is also measured.
