in this paper, we give a characterization of strongly jordan zero-product preserving maps on normed algebras as a generalization of  jordan zero-product preserving maps. in this direction, we give some illustrative examples to show that the notions of strongly zero-product preserving maps and strongly jordan zero-product preserving maps are completely different. also, we prove that the direct p...

In this paper we propose a definition for honest verifier quantum statistical zero-knowledge interactive proof systems and study the resulting complexity class, which we denote QSZKHV. We prove several facts regarding this class, including: • The following problem is a complete promise problem for QSZKHV: given instructions for preparing two mixed quantum states, are the states close together o...

In this paper we propose a definition for (honest verifier) quantum statistical zero-knowledge interactive proof systems and study the resulting complexity class, which we denote QSZKHV . We prove several facts regarding this class, including: The following problem is a complete promise problem for QSZKHV : given instructions for preparing two mixed quantum states, are the states close together...

A new method is presented for the analysis of limit cycle oscillations in mixed-feedback systems. The calculation reformulated as zero finding a mixed-monotone relation, that is, difference two maximally monotone relations. problem can then be solved efficiently by borrowing existing algorithms minimize convex functions. potential illustrated on classical Van der Pol oscillator.

The glaciation time of a mixed-phase cloud due to the Wegener–Bergeron–Findeisen mechanism is calculated using an adiabatic one-dimensional numerical model for the cases of zero, ascending, descending and oscillating vertical velocities. The characteristic values of the glaciation time are obtained for different concentrations of ice particles and liquid-water content. Steady state is not possi...

BACKGROUND Early post-transplantation alterations in liver tests are caused by a variety of etiologies including rejection, biliary or vascular complications, and preservation/reperfusion injury (PRI). OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to show the correlation between histopathologic changes of PRI and the alterations in liver tests in the early post-transplantation period. MATERIALS AND ...

We examine experimentally how humans behave when they, unbeknownst to them, play against a computer which implements its part of a mixed strategy Nash equilibrium. We consider two games, one zero-sum and another unprofitable with a pure minimax strategy. A minority of subjects’ play was consistent with their Nash equilibrium strategy. But a larger percentage of subjects’ play was more consisten...
