The Hyers-Ulam stability problems of functional equations go back to 1940 when S. M. Ulam proposed a question concerning the approximate homomorphisms from a group to a metric group see 1 . A partial answer was given by Hyers et al. 2, 3 under the assumption that the target space of the involved mappings is a Banach space. After the result of Hyers, Aoki 4 , and Bourgin 5, 6 dealt with this pro...

Abstract We construct the effective field theory appropriate for describing the low energy behavior of anisotropic Wilson lattice actions and the O(a) improved variant thereof. We then apply this effective field theory to the hadron spectrum and dispersion relations, focussing on the corrections due to the anisotropy. We point out an important feature of anisotropic lattices regarding the Aoki-...

We propose a perturbation method for determining the (largest) group of invariance of a toric ideal defined in Aoki and Takemura [2008b]. In the perturbation method, we investigate how a generic element in the row space of the configuration defining a toric ideal is mapped by a permutation of the indeterminates. Compared to the proof in Aoki and Takemura [2008b] which was based on stabilizers o...

We provide three large classes of control functions that ensure the hyperstability Cauchy equation on restricted domains included in various types commutative semigroups. Among other consequences, we obtain significant improvements similar results known from literature for several Aoki-Rassias-type functions.

Rivest and Shamir presented two simple micropayment schemes, “PayWord” and “MicroMint,” for making small purchases over the Internet [14]. Recently, Adachi et al. have pointed out that the PayWord scheme has two security problems, and proposed a new micropayment scheme to overcome these problems [1]. Nevertheless, we show that their protocol is still vulnerable to impersonation and replay attacks.

We discuss the symmetries of quenched QCD with Wilson fermions, starting from its lagrangian formulation, taking into account the constraints needed for convergence of the ghost-quark functional integral. We construct the corresponding chiral effective lagrangian, including terms linear and quadratic in the lattice spacing. This allows us to study the phase structure of the quenched theory, and...
