In MMP-elections for legislatures, political parties compete a voter’s support in two ways: first vote to the party’s candidate single-seat constituency and second list of candidates. To obtain party representation proportional votes, nationwide tally compensates with seats sub-proportional number seats. The German Bundestag has 299 seats, is legal norm, but it got 410 2017 election. This devia...

for a finite group G, we denote by p(G) the minimal degree of faithful permutation representations of G, and denote by c(G), the minimal degree of faithful representation of G by quasi-permutation matrices over the complex field C. In this paper we will assume that, G is a p-group of exponent p and class 2, where p is prime and cd(G) = {1, |G : Z(G)|^1/2}. Then we will s...

initiality Lutz Schröder, Horst Herrlich Abstract. We study morphisms that are initial w.r.t. all functors in a given conglomerate. Several results and counterexamples are obtained concerning the relation of such properties to different notions of subobject. E.g., strong monomorphisms are initial w.r.t. all faithful adjoint functors, but not necessarily w.r.t. all faithful monomorphism-preservi...

In the present paper we consider a von Neumann algebra M with a faithful normal semi-finite trace τ , and {αt} a strongly continuous extension to L(M, τ ) of a semigroup of absolute contractions on L(M, τ ). By means of a non-commutative Banach Principle we prove for a Besicovitch function b and x ∈ L(M, τ ), the averages 1 T Z T 0 b(t)αt(x)dt converge bilateral almost uniform in L(M, τ ) as T ...

TEITOK is a web-based framework for corpus creation, annotation, and distribution, that combines textual and linguistic annotation within a single TEI based XML document. TEITOK provides several built-in NLP tools to automatically (pre)process texts, and is highly customizable. It features multiple orthographic transcription layers, and a wide range of user-defined token-based annotations. For ...

A conceptual foundation for approximation of belief functions is proposed and investi­ gated. It is based on the requirements of consistency and closeness. An optimal ap­ proximation is studied. Unfortunately, the computation of the optimal approximation turns out to be intractable. Hence, various heuristic methods are proposed and exper­ imantally evaluated both in terms of their accuracy and ...
