The IHACRES model has been successfully applied to many catchments across the UK including regionalization studies (e.g. Sefton and Howarth, 1998; Littlewood, 2003). However, while the previous formulation of the non-linear module performs well in calibration and simulation, the module has some identified deficiencies in the representation of the impacts of climate change on volume of streamflo...

The module of splines on a polyhedral complex can be viewed as the syzygy module of its dual graph with edges weighted by powers of linear forms. When the assignment of linear forms to edges meets certain conditions, we can decompose the graph into disjoint cycles without changing the isomorphism class of the syzygy module. Thus we can use this decomposition to compute the homological dimension...

In this paper we devote to generalizing some results of componentwise linear modules over a polynomial ring to the ones over a Koszul algebra. Among other things, we show that the i-linear strand of the minimal free resolution of a componentwise linear module is the minimal free resolution of some module which is described explicitly for any i ∈ Z. In addition we present some theorems about whe...

A positively convex module is a non-empty set closed under positively convex combinations but not necessarily a subset of a linear space. Positively convex modules are a natural generalization of positively convex subsets of linear spaces. Any positively convex module has a canonical semimetric and there is a universal positively affine mapping into a regularly ordered normed linear space and a...

A Kleene algebra (K,+, ·,∗ , 0, 1) is an idempotent semiring with an iteration ∗ as axiomatised by Kozen. We consider left semiring modules (A,+, 0, :) over Kleene algebras. We call such a left semiring module a Kleene module if each linear equation x = a + r : x has a least solution, where : is the product from K × A to A. The linear context-free languages can be viewed as a Kleene module A ov...

We describe Koszul type complexes associated with a linear map from any module to a free module, and vice versa with a linear map from a free module to an arbitrary module, generalizing the classical Koszul complexes. Given a short complex of finite free modules, we assemble these complexes to what we call Koszul bicomplexes. They are used in order to investigate the homology of the Koszul comp...

Let R be a commutative ring. For two (left) R-modules M and N , the set HomR(M,N) of allR-linear maps fromM toN is anR-module under natural addition and scaling operations on linear maps. (If R were non-commutative then the definition (r · f)(m) = r · (f(m)) would yield a function r · f from M to N which is usually not R-linear. Try it!) In the special case where N = R we get the R-module M∨ = ...
