We show that if the set of all bounded strongly continuous cosine families on a Banach space X is treated as a metric space under the metric of the uniform convergence associated with the operator norm on the space L (X) of all bounded linear operators on X, then the isolated points of this set are precisely the scalar cosine families. By definition, a scalar cosine family is a cosine family wh...

Let X and Y be separable Banach spaces. Suppose Y either has a shrinking basis or Y is isomorphic to C(2N) andA is a subset of weakly compact operators from X to Y which is analytic in the strong operator topology. We prove that there is a reflexive space with a basis Z such that every T ∈ A factors through Z. Likewise, we prove that if A ⊂ L(X,C(2N)) is a set of operators whose adjoints have s...

For an infinite-dimensional linear quadratic control problem in Hilbert space, approximation of the solution of the algebraic Riccati operator equation in the strong operator topology is considered under conditions weaker than uniform exponential stability of the approximating systems. As an application, strong convergence of the approximating Riccati operators in case of a previously developed...

This paper, as the continuation of Parts I and II on Fundamental Limits of Communication in Interference Networks, is related to the study of information flow in networks with strong interference. First, the concept of strong interference is more broadly defined: a network is said to be in the strong interference regime when the coding scheme achieving the capacity region is such that each rece...

Generalised halfspace depth function is proposed. Basic properties of this depth function including the strong consistency are studied. We show, on several examples that our depth function may be considered to be more appropriate for nonsymetric distributions or for mixtures of distributions.

We demonstrate that crystal defects can act as a probe of intrinsic non-Hermitian topology. In particular, in point-gapped systems with periodic boundary conditions, pair dislocations may induce skin effect, where an extensive number Hamiltonian eigenstates localize at only one the two dislocations. An example such phase are two-dimensional exhibiting weak topology, which adiabatically related ...

For any simple connected graph $G=(V,E)$, a defensive alliance is a subset $S$ of $V$ satisfying the condition that every vertex $vin S$ has at most one more neighbour in $V-S$ than it has in $S$. The minimum cardinality of any defensive alliance in $G$ is called the alliance number of $G$, denoted $a(G)$. In this paper, we introduce a new type of alliance number called $k$-strong alliance numb...
