A dependence relation between two data references is linear if it generates dependence vectors that are linear functions of the loop indices. A linear dependence relation often induces a large number of dependence vectors. Empirical studies also show that linear dependencies often intermix with uniform dependencies in loops [5, 6]. These factors make it difficult to analyze such loops and extra...

We show that the Scott topology induces a topology for real-valued Lipschitz maps on Banach spaces which we call the L-topology. It is the weakest topology with respect to which the L-derivative operator, as a second order functional which maps the space of Lipschitz functions into the function space of non-empty weak* compact and convex valued maps equipped with the Scott topology, is continuo...

Silhouette information is important in many applications such as virtual reality and visual hull construction. However, silhouette extraction from images relies on a known background. In this paper, we propose a method for silhouette extraction from an arbitrarily unknown background. To do this, we use multiple calibrated images. Each input image is first segmented in regions. Then, the consist...

Storrer introduced the epimorphic hull of a commutative semiprime ring R and showed that it is (up to isomorphism) the unique essential epic von Neumann regular extension of R. In the case when R = C(X) with X a Tychonoff space, we show that the embedding induced by a dense subspace of X is always essential. This simplifies the search for spaces whose epimorphic hull is a full ring of continuou...

We show that the Scott topology induces a topology for real-valued Lipschitz maps on Banach spaces which we call the L-topology.

For Hölder continuous cocycles over an invertible, Lipschitz base, we establish the Hölder continuity of Oseledets subspaces on compact sets of arbitrarily large measure. This extends a result of Araújo et al [On Hölder-continuity of Oseledets subspaces J. Lond. Math. Soc. 93 (2016) 194–218] by considering possibly non-invertible cocycles, which, in addition, may take values in the space of com...

Let H be a complex Hilbert space and denote by Bs(H) the set of all self-adjoint bounded linear operators on H . In this paper we describe the form of all bijective maps (no linearity or continuity is assumed) on Bs(H) which preserve the order ≤ in both directions.

We present the following reflexivity-like result concerning the automorphism group of the C∗-algebra B(H), H being a separable Hilbert space. Let φ : B(H) → B(H) be a multiplicative map (no linearity or continuity is assumed) which can be approximated at every point by automorphisms of B(H) (these automorphisms may, of course, depend on the point) in the operator norm. Then φ is an automorphism...

Results are obtained concerning the distribution of ranked relative lengths of excursions of a recurrent Markov process from a point in its state space whose inverse local time process is a stable subordinator. It is shown that for a large class of random times T the distribution of relative excursion lengths prior to T is the same as if T were a xed time. It follows that the generalized arc-si...
