Abstract: We provide a new proof of the upper-semicontinuity property for the global attractors admitted by the solution operators associated with some strongly damped wave equations. In particular, we demonstrate an explicit control over semidistances between trajectories in the weak energy phase space in terms of the perturbation parameter. This result strengthens the recent work by Y. Wang a...

A general lower semicontinuity theorem, in which not only mappings uM and PM but also the integrands fM depend on M , is proved for integrands f, fM under certain general hypotheses including that f(x, u, P ) is convex respect to P and fM converge to f locally uniformly, but fM (x, u, P ) are not required to be convex respect to P and fM (x, ·, ·) do not even need to be lower semicontinuous. So...

We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions in the Large Deviation Principle for random upper semicontinuous functions on a separable Banach space. The main tool is the recent work of Arcones on the LDP for empirical processes.

Growth is a key cellular phenotype relevant in areas ranging from microbiology to cancer biology. Hence, quantitative measures of growth must be accurately estimated. Historically, many parametric models have been proposed, reviewed in ([1]). However, in our experience, growth curves rarely follow these idealistic behaviours. In practice, non-parametric models, in which curves are simply smooth...

Introduction As reported by the editor of The Forensic ~ c h o , ' the number of applicants to the many forensic psychiatry training programs in this country has increased sharply. With the expanding corrections economy, "a bright idealistic generation" now has an opportunity to work with the "underbelly of society." It is at last possible to acknowledge openly that "Not every prisoner with a p...

The prediction by partial matching (PPM) algorithm has been well known for its high prediction accuracy. Recent proposals of PPM-like predictors confirm its effectiveness on branch prediction. In this paper, we introduce a new branch prediction algorithm, named Prediction by combining Multiple Partial Matches (PMPM). The PMPM algorithm selectively combines multiple matches instead of using the ...

Utilizing the hyperspace of noise-based logic, we show two string verification methods with low communication complexity. One of them is based on continuum noisebased logic. The other one utilizes noise-based logic with random telegraph signals where a mathematical analysis of the error probability is also given. The last operation can also be interpreted as computing universal hash functions w...

The efficiency of track reconstruction for particles detected in at least four stations is presented in Table 1. Two STS detector setups have been investigated. In the idealistic setup all stations are pixel-like detectors. The realistic setup consists of (going downstream) 2 MAPS detectors, 1 pixel detector and 4 double-sided silicon strip detectors with 15 stereo angle. Different number of pi...

Symmetry reduction is a technique to counter state explosion for systems of regular structure. It relies on idealistic assumptions about indistinguishable components, which in practice may only be similar. In this paper we present a generalized algebraic approach to symmetry reduction for exploring a structure without any prior knowledge about its global symmetry. The more behavior is shared am...
