The partial derivative automaton (Apd) is usually smaller than other non-deterministic finite automata constructed from a regular expression, and it can be seen as a quotient of the Glushkov automaton (Apos). By estimating the number of regular expressions that have ε as a partial derivative, we compute a lower bound of the average number of mergings of states in Apos and describe its asymptoti...

Let G be a locally compact non-compact group. We show that under a very mild assumption on the weight function w, the weighted group algebra L1(G, w) is strongly Arens irregular in the sense of [Dal–Lam–Lau 01]. To this end, we first derive a general factorization theorem for bounded families in the L∞ ( G, w ) ∗ -module L∞ ( G, w ) .

The quotient correlation is defined here as an alternative to Pearson’s correlation that is more intuitive and flexible in cases where the tail behavior of data is important. It measures nonlinear dependence where the regular correlation coefficient is generally not applicable. One of its most useful features is a test statistic that has high power when testing nonlinear dependence in cases whe...
