We prove a new extremal inequality, motivated by the vector Gaussian broadcast channel problem. As a corollary, this inequality yields a generalization of the classical vector entropy-power inequality (EPI). As another corollary, this inequality sheds insight into maximizing the differential entropy of the sum of two jointly distributed random variables.

In this paper, we study the existence of extremal solutions for impulsive delay fuzzy integrodifferential equations in n-dimensional fuzzy vector space, by using monotone method. We show that obtained result is an extension of the result of Rodŕıguez-López [8] to impulsive delay fuzzy integrodifferential equations in n-dimensional fuzzy vector space.

Isolated horizons [1], much like Killing horizons [2], were introduced in order to deal with the more practical problems involving black holes. Both formulations are local, in contrast with the global nature of event horizons [3]. However, isolated horizons, unlike Killing horizons, do not require a Killing vector field in their neighbourhood. Thus, isolated horizons are characterized by a weak...

In [TSP], level curves of a function , called “the edge strength function,” defined for 2–dimensional shapes, are interpreted as successively smoother versions of the initial shape boundary. The local minima of the absolute gradient along the level curves of are shown to be a robust criterion for determining the shape skeleton. More generally, at an extremal point of along a level curve, the le...

We study the relations between tail order of copulas and hidden regular variation (HRV) on subcones generated by order statistics. Multivariate regular variation (MRV) and HRV deal with extremal dependence of random vectors with Pareto-like univariate margins. Alternatively, if one uses copula to model the dependence structure of a random vector, then upper exponent and tail order functions can...

For the feature analysis of vector fields we decompose a given vector field into three components: a divergence-free, a rotation-free, and a harmonic vector field. This Hodgetype decomposition splits a vector field using a variational approach, and allows to locate sources, sinks, and vortices as extremal points of the potentials of the components. Our method applies to discrete tangential vect...

We show that a specific even unimodular lattice of dimension 80, first investigated by Schulze-Pillot and others, is extremal (i.e., the minimal nonzero norm is 8). This is the third known extremal lattice in this dimension. The known part of its automorphism group is isomorphic to SL2(F79), which is smaller (in cardinality) than the two previous examples. The technique to show extremality invo...

This article discusses the basic properties of finite-dimensional Boolean vector spaces and their linear transformations. We first introduce a natural Boolean-valued inner product and discuss orthonormal bases. We show that all bases are orthonormal and have the same cardinality. It is shown that the set of subspaces form an atomistic orthomodular poset. We then demonstrate that an operator tha...
