A construction of hexagonal shaped 8-point QAM called H8QAM is shown. H8QAM constellation outperforms the conventional rectangular constellation and 8-PSK. Furthermore, construction of H8QAM Golay sequences having low peak-tomean envelope power ratios (PMEPR) from two QPSK Golay sequences is presented. Various upper bounds on peak envelope powers of these sequences are evaluated.

Inoue et al. introduced an automaton on a twodimensional tape, which decides acceptance or rejection of an input tape by scanning the tape from various sides by various automata which move one way, and investigated the accepting power of such an automaton. This paper continues the investigation of this type of automata, especially, ∨-type automata (obtained by combining four three-way two-dimen...

For binary noncoherent orthogonal frequency-shift keying and binary differential phase-shift keying over slow nonselective Rician fading channels having arbitrarily correlated branches and unequal branch powers, a closed-form expression for the symbol-error probability in the case of postdetection equal-gain combining is obtained directly from the characteristic function of the decision variable.

We obtain the Edgeworth expansion for P (n1/2(θ̂− θ) < x) and its derivatives, and the tilted Edgeworth (or saddlepoint or small sample) expansion for P (θ̂ < x) and its derivatives where θ̂ is any vector estimate having the standard cumulant expansions in powers of n−1.

The etymological meaning of ‘omnipotent’ is ‘all-powerful.’ Being all-powerful is usually understood as having all of the powers. The problem of analyzing omnipotence is then seen as the problem of determining over what class the quantifier ‘all’ in this assertion ranges. An omnipotent being would be one that has all of the powers; all of what powers? Attempts to answer this question have run i...

We develop tools to study the problem of containment of symbolic powers I(m) in powers I for a homogeneous ideal I in a polynomial ring k[P ] in N + 1 variables over an arbitrary algebraically closed field k. We obtain results on the structure of the set of pairs (r, m) such that I(m) ⊆ I. As corollaries, we show that I2 contains I(3) whenever S is a finite generic set of points in P2 (thereby ...

A probabilistic model defines the joint distribution for a set of random variables. For example, imagine that a friend of yours claims to possess psychic powers – in particular, the power of psychokinesis. He proposes to demonstrate these powers by flipping a coin, and influencing the outcome to produce heads. You suggest that a better test might be to see if he can levitate a pencil, since the...
