— In this article, we study the maximal cross number of long zero-sumfree sequences in a finite Abelian group. Regarding this inverse-type problem, we formulate a general conjecture and prove, among other results, that this conjecture holds true for finite cyclic groups, finite Abelian p-groups and for finite Abelian groups of rank two. Also, the results obtained here enable us to improve, via ...

A version of the dynamical systems method (DSM) for solving ill-conditioned linear algebraic systems is studied. An a priori and an a posteriori stopping rules are justified. An iterative scheme is constructed for solving ill-conditioned linear algebraic systems.

— In this paper, we study the maximal cross number of long zero-sumfree sequences in a finite Abelian group. Regarding this inverse-type problem, we formulate a general conjecture and prove, among other results, that this conjecture holds true for finite cyclic groups, finite Abelian p-groups and for finite Abelian groups with rank two. Also, the results obtained here enable us to improve, via ...

In the paper, we study finitely generated linear groups of finite rank which have faithful irreducible primitive representations over a field characteristic zero. We prove that if an infinite group [Formula: see text] has representation zero then text]-center is infinite.

the pseudo-elastic behavior of shape memory alloy (sma) truss and cantilever beam are investigated. brinson’s one-dimensional material model, which uses the twinned and detwinned martensite fractions separately as internal variables, is applied in the algorithm to establish the sma stress-strain characteristics. this material model also incorporates different young’s modulus for austenitic and ...

We provide a doubly exponential upper bound in p on the size of forbidden pivot-minors for symmetric or skew-symmetric matrices over a fixed finite field F of linear rank-width at most p. As a corollary, we obtain a doubly exponential upper bound in p on the size of forbidden vertex-minors for graphs of linear rank-width at most p. This solves an open question raised by Jeong, Kwon, and Oum [Ex...

It is known that for any finite/co-finite set of primes there exists a network which has a rate 1 solution if and only if the characteristic of the finite field belongs to the given set. We generalize this result to show that for any positive rational number k/n, and for any given finite/co-finite set of primes, there exists a network which has a rate k/n fractional linear network coding soluti...

A sufficient condition for the representation group for a nonabelian representation (Definition 1.1) of a finite partial linear space to be a finite p-group is given (Theorem 2.9). We characterize finite symplectic polar spaces of rank r at least two and of odd prime order p as the only finite polar spaces of rank at least two and of prime order admitting nonabelian representations. The represe...
