Abstract In this paper, we generalize a result of Cuttler, Greene, Skandera, and Sra that characterizes the majorization order on Young diagrams in terms nonnegative specializations Schur polynomials. More precisely, introduce generalized notion associated to an arbitrary crystallographic root system $\Phi $ show it admits natural characterization values spherical functions any Riemannian symme...

We investigate geometric and topological properties of $d$-majorization -- a generalization classical majorization to positive weight vectors $d \in \mathbb{R}^n$. In particular, we derive new, simplified characterization which allows us work out halfspace description the corresponding polytopes. That is, write set all are $d$-majorized by some given vector $y \mathbb{R}^n$ as an intersection f...

Complexity theory has a profound influence on the field of cryptology. The time complexity of breaking a cipher system must be significant enough to thwart any adversary from succeeding. However, with the emergence of quantum computers an adversary may have no difficulty in breaking known cipher systems. If quantum computers would exist today new mechanisms for security would need to be built. ...

A pointwise version of the Howard–Bezem notion of hereditary majorization is introduced which has various advantages, and its relation to the usual notion of majorization is discussed. This pointwise majorization of primitive recursive functionals (in the sense of Gödel’s T as well as Kleene/Feferman’s P̂R) is applied to systems of intuitionistic and classical arithmetic (H and Hc) in all finite...

In this paper we generalize (finite) block diagonal matrices to infinite dimensions and then by using row stochastic (as a special case), define the relation < bdr on c0, which is said majorization. We also obtain some important properties of Pbdr, set all bounded linear operators T : c0 ? c0; preserve Further, it obtained necessary conditions for operator be preserver majorization bdr. Also...

This paper presents concentration inequalities and laws of large numbers under weak assumptions of irrelevance that are expressed using lower and upper expectations. The results build upon De Cooman and Miranda’s recent inequalities and laws of large numbers. The proofs indicate connections between the theory of martingales and concepts of epistemic and regular irrelevance.

for $a,bin m_{nm},$ we say that $a$ is left matrix majorized (resp. left matrix submajorized) by $b$ and write $aprec_{ell}b$ (resp. $aprec_{ell s}b$), if $a=rb$ for some $ntimes n$ row stochastic (resp. row substochastic) matrix $r.$ moreover, we define the relation $sim_{ell s} $ on $m_{nm}$ as follows: $asim_{ell s} b$ if $aprec_{ell s} bprec_{ell s} a.$ this paper characterizes all linear p...

for vectors x, y ∈ rn, it is said that x is left matrix majorizedby y if for some row stochastic matrix r; x = ry. the relationx ∼` y, is defined as follows: x ∼` y if and only if x is leftmatrix majorized by y and y is left matrix majorized by x. alinear operator t : rp → rn is said to be a linear preserver ofa given relation ≺ if x ≺ y on rp implies that t x ≺ ty onrn. the linear preservers o...

background: knee extension contracture is a disabling complication after fractures around the knee. in this study we aimed to study factors influencing the outcomes of quadricepsplasty for the treatment of traumatic knee extension contracture. we hypothesized that there is no factor influencing the final range of knee motion.methods: in this retrospective study, we included 64 patients who unde...
