We construct minimal blocking sets with respect to generators on the Hermitian surfaces H(n, q) when n and q are both odd. A blocking set arises from q + 1 quadrics in PG(n, q) whose polarities commute with a unitary polarity, constructed from the union of Baer sub-quadrics with the common intersections deleted.

2. In practice, researchers find it useful that GMM estimators can be constructed without specifying the full data generating process (which would be required to write down the maximum likelihood estimator.) This has been the case in the study of single equations in a simultaneous system, in the study of potentially misspecified dynamic models designed to match target moments, and in the constr...

Suppose λ is a singular cardinal of uncountable cofinality κ. For a model M of cardinality λ, let No(M) denote the number of isomorphism types of models N of cardinality λ which are L∞λ-equivalent to M. In [She85] Shelah considered inverse κ-systems A of abelian groups and their certain kind of quotient limits Gr(A)/Fact(A). In particular Shelah proved in [She85, Fact 3.10] that for every cardi...

This paper applies a matrix-analytic approach to analyze both the long-term and the short-term loss behaviors of a queue with space priority scheme. Five related performance measures are derived from conditional statistics, including the long-term highpriority and low-priority packet loss probabilities, and the three short-term measures — the average length of a critical period, the average len...
