Exploitation of the NP hard, mixed μ problem structure provides a polynomial time algorithm that approximates μ with usually reasonable answers. When the problem is extended to the skew μ problem an extension of the existing method to the skew μ formulation is required. The focus of this paper is to extend the μ upper bound derivation to the skew μ upper bound and show its direct computation by...

In this paper, we study the iterative algorithms for saddle point problems(SPP). Bai, Golub and Pan recently studied a class of preconditioned Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting methods(PHSS). By further accelerating it with another parameters, using the Hermitian/skew-Hermitian splitting iteration technique we present the generalized preconditioned Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting me...

A generalized hyperbolic tetrahedra is a polyhedron (possibly noncompact) with finite volume in hyperbolic space, obtained from a tetrahedron by the polar truncation at the vertices lying outside the space. In this paper it is proved that a volume formula for ordinary hyperbolic tetrahedra devised by J. Murakami and M. Yano can be applied to such ones. There are two key tools for the proof; one...

Abstract. The purpose of this note is to give explicit criteria to determine whether a real generalized Cartan matrix is of finite type, affine type or of hyperbolic type by considering the principal minors and the inverse of the matrix. In particular, it will be shown that a real generalized Cartan matrix is of finite type if and only if it is invertible and the inverse is a positive matrix. A...

Cluster algebras are a class of commutative rings introduced by Fomin and Zelevinsky. It is well-known that these algebras are closely related with different areas of mathematics. A particular analogy exists between combinatorial aspects of cluster algebras and Kac-Moody algebras: roughly speaking, cluster algebras are associated with skew-symmetrizable matrices while Kac-Moody algebras corresp...

In this paper we study a special type of linear codes, called skew cyclic codes, in the most general case. This set of codes is a generalization of cyclic codes but constructed using a non-commutative ring called the skew polynomial ring. In previous works these codes have been studied with certain restrictions on their length. This work examines their structure for an arbitrary length without ...

This paper discusses hyperbolic behavior of Jacobi fields along billiard flows on multidimensional Reimannian manifolds. A class of generalized differential operators associated with the impulsive equations (generalized Jacobi equations) are defined using a new Radon measure. We investigate the hyperbolic behavior of functions in the null-space of the operator by applying operator theory.

This paper examines the evolution of a skew distribution of firm sizes from the viewpoint of the 'Bounds' approach to market structure. It confines attention to the role played by non-strategic factors (statistical independence, and cost sideeffects). A model is proposed, which leads to a prediction regarding the least skew size distribution which is likely to be observed. This distribution pro...
