Sets which simultaneously tile Rn by applying powers of an invertible matrix and translations by a lattice are studied. Diagonal matrices A for which there exist sets that tile by powers of A and by integer translations are characterized. A sufficient condition and a necessary condition on the dilations and translations for the existence of such sets are also given. These conditions depend in a...

In this paper, we show that good structured codes over non-Abelian groups do exist. Specifically, we construct codes over the smallest non-Abelian group D6 and show that the performance of these codes is superior to the performance of Abelian group codes of the same alphabet size. This promises the possibility of using non-Abelian codes for multi-terminal settings where the structure of the cod...

We exploit the techniques developed in [Le] to study N -expansive homeomorphisms on surfaces. We prove that when f is a 2-expansive homeomorphism defined on a compact boundaryless surface M with nonwandering set Ω(f) being the whole of M then f is expansive. This condition on the nonwandering set cannot be relaxed: we present an example of a 2-expansive homeomorphisms on a surface with genus 2 ...

In other words, when (u; u(0N); 11 1;u(01)) belongs to U , asymptotically periodic inputs produce asymptotically periodic outputs with the same period. The proof of this theorem makes use of a contraction-mapping fixed-point argument. The techniques used in our omitted proofs are also useful in connection with related problems that are " more nonlinear. " In particular, related results are give...

It is shown that if X is a Banach space and C is a union of finitely many nonempty, pairwise disjoint, closed, and connected subsets {Ci : 1≤ i≤ n} of X , and each Ci has the fixed-point property (FPP) for asymptotically regular nonexpansive mappings, then any asymptotically regular nonexpansive self-mapping of C has a fixed point. We also generalize the Goebel-Schöneberg theorem to some Banach...

Upper bounds are given for the maximum period of periodic solutions of non-expansive mappings in the Banach space (IR n ; j j) with 1 < < 1. Basic in the derivation of these upper bounds are a theorem of Banach on rotations 2] and a geometric property of (IR n ; j j) for 6 = 2 5]. This paper provides a valid proof of a conjecture which appeared in 9]. Some remarks are made about what is diieren...

Video games, unlike traditional, non-digital games, are based on a combination of fixed rules which cannot be broken from the player position, and implied rules which are not enforced by the computer program. It is relatively common, however, for players to impose additional or alternative rules on video games, in order to refine or expand gameplay and to create new gaming experiences. This pap...

We find soliton solutions in five-dimensional gauged supergravity, where a circle degenerates smoothly in the core of the geometry. In the family of solutions we consider, we find no completely smooth supersymmetric solutions, but we find discrete families of non-supersymmetric solitons. We discuss the relation to previous studies of the asymptotically flat case. We also consider gauged supergr...
