Abstract:
A technical ingredient in Faltings’ original approach to$p$-adic comparison theorems involves the construction of$K({\it\pi},1)$-neighborhoods for a smooth scheme$X$over a mixed characteristic discrete valuation ring with a perfect residue field: every point$x\in X$has an open neighborhood$U$whose generic fiber is a$K({\it\pi},1)$scheme (a notion analogous to having a contractible universal cover). We show how to extend this result to the logarithmically smooth case, which might help to simplify some proofs in$p$-adic Hodge theory. The main ingredient of the proof is a variant of a trick of Nagata used in his proof of the Noether normalization lemma.

Abstract:
Abstract We establish the Bonnet–Myers theorem, Laplacian comparison theorem, and Bishop–Gromov volume comparison theorem for weighted Finsler manifolds as well as weighted Finsler spacetimes, of weighted Ricci curvature bounded below by using the weight function. These comparison theorems are formulated with ϵ-range introduced in our previous paper, that provides a natural viewpoint of interpolating weighted Ricci curvature conditions of different effective dimensions. Some of our results are new even for weighted Riemannian manifolds and generalize comparison theorems of Wylie–Yeroshkin and Kuwae–Li.

Abstract:
Nella tesi si studiano le varietà algebriche e in particolare quelle proiettive. Data una varietà algebrica definita sul campo complesso con la topologia di Zariski, si analizza la corrispondenza tra le proprietà topologiche di separatezza, completezza e irriducibilità e, rispettivamente, l'essere Hausdoff, la compattezza e la connessione dello spazio analitico associato. In particolare si dimostra che lo spazio proiettivo, e di conseguenza tutte le varietà proiettive, sono separate e complete. Si generalizza inoltre la nozione di varietà a quella di schema e si calcola la coomologia di fasci coerenti sullo spazio proiettivo. Si dimostra infine il teorema di dualità di Serre per fasci coerenti su uno schema proiettivo arbitrario.

Full text
Abstract:
Optimal control theory is an extension of the calculus of variations, and deals with the optimal behaviour of a system under a very general class of constraints. This field has been pioneered by the group of mathematicians led by Lev Pontryagin in the second half of the 50s and nowadays has countless applications to the real worlds (robotics, trains, aerospace, models for human behaviour, human vision, image reconstruction, quantum control, motion of self-propulsed micro-organism). In this thesis we introduce a novel definition of curvature for an optimal control problem. In particular it works for any sub-Riemannian and sub-Finsler structure. Related problems, such as comparison theorems for sub-Riemannian manifolds, LQ optimal control problem and Popp's volume and are also investigated.

We consider several classes of orthogonal polynomials as well as the Bessel function where we study the convexity of zeros of these polynomials, satisfying either differential or real difference equations, by applying Sturm's comparison and convexity theorems as well as analogues of these theorems. In addition several results are obtained concerning the distances between consecutive zeros of some of these classes of polynomials. Further research possibilities concerning q-polynomials and polynomials satisfying complex difference equations are discussed.

Liu, Weiru. "Extended incidence calculus and its comparison with related theories." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 1995. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/28442.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis presents a comprehensive study of incidence calculus, a probabilistic logic for reasoning under uncertainty which extends two-value propositional logic to a multiple-value logic. There are three main contributions in this thesis. First of all, the original incidence calculus is extended considerably in three aspects: (a) the original incidence calculus is generalised; (b) an efficient algorithm for incidence assignment based on generalised incidence calculus is developed; (c) a combination rule is proposed for the combination of both independent and some dependent pieces of evidence. Extended incidence calculus has the advantages of representing information flexibly and combining multiple sources of evidence. Secondly, a comprehensive comparison between extended incidence calculus and the Dempster-Shafer (DS) theory of evidence is provided. It is proved that extended incidence calculus is equivalent to DS theory in representing evidence and combining independent evidence but superior to DS theory in combining dependent evidence. Thirdly, the relations between extended incidence calculus and the assumption-based truth maintenance systems are discussed. It is proved that extended incidence calculus is equivalent to the ATMS in calculating labels for nodes. Extended incidence calculus can also be used as a basis for constructing probabilistic ATMSs. The study in this thesis reveals that extended incidence calculus can be regarded as a bridge between numerical and symbolic reasoning mechanisms.

Full text
Abstract:
Conceptual Art emerged as an international, avant-garde art movement in the mid-60s. Attacking the prevailing aesthetics of modern art, Conceptual artists claim that art lies not in the object itself but in the artist's idea or intention. Their asserted goals have been to combine theory with art and to eliminate the need for form in artworks. The purpose of this study was to examine and critique the key theoretical writings of three artists whose works have been recognized by the critics as significant and seminal for the Conceptual Art Movement: Joseph Kosuth, Sol LeWitt, and Terry Atkinson.Historical aspects relevant to this study included the following: (i) early twentieth-century antecedents of Conceptual Art; (ii) recent avant-garde movements of the 60s and 70s; (iii) the history and nature of the concept theories of Kosuth, LeWitt, and Atkinson; (ii) a critiqueof t ese theories in terms of their consistency and viabi ity for generating art; (iii) a comparison of Conceptual Art theories with both commonly accepted theories of art and more radical aesthetic theories of contemporary philosophers.Upon completion of this study, it was concluded that despite many ideological differences, Kosuth, LeWitt, and Atkinson agree on two key notions: (i) the locus of the "work of art" is not a physical object; and (ii) it is the artist's idea which alone accounts for the significance of an artwork. Their arguments in support of these notions are unsatisfactory. Longstanding issues in aesthetics, viz., the problems of defining art and evaluating its significance, are not resolved. The critics' acclaim of the writings critiqued in this study must therefore rest on extrinsic features such as the prestige of the artists, the relevance of the content of the writings to dominant trends in contemporary art, and the potential historical significance of their challenges to established views about art and aesthetics.

Full text
Abstract:
The minimum labeling spanning tree problem (MLSTP) is a combinatorial optimization problem that consists in finding a spanning tree in a simple edge-labeled graph, i.e., a graph in which each edge has one label associated, by using a minimum number of labels. It is an NP-hard problem that has attracted substantial research attention in recent years. In its turn, the generalized minimum labeling spanning tree problem (GMLSTP) is a generalization of the MLSTP that allows the situation in which multiple labels can be assigned to an edge. Both problems have several practical applications in important areas such as computer network design, multimodal transportation network design, and data compression. The thesis addresses several connectivity problems defined over edge-labeled graphs, in special the minimum labeling spanning tree problem and its generalized version. The contributions in the work can be classified between theoretical and practical. On the theoretical side, it has introduced new useful concepts, definitions, properties and theorems regarding edge-labeled graphs, as well as a polyhedral study on the GMLSTP. On the practical side, we have proposed new heuristics and new mathematical formulations and branch-and-cut algorithms. The new approaches introduced have achieved the best results for both heuristic and exact methods in comparison with the state-of-the-art.

Abstract In structural fires, flashover is characterized by the rapid transition in fire behavior from localized burning of fuel to the involvement of all combustibles in the enclosure. Major parameters affecting flashover are fire growth rate, ventilation opening area, and room area. A comparison of flashover theories is undertaken using the Thomas, Babrauskas and the FASTLite theories, concentrating on the similarities and differences between the theories in their assessment of the major parameters affecting flashover.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper looks at the importance of ‘crisis events’ used by leaders employing populist civilisational populism in Muslim democracies. While populism is widely acknowledged and studied as part of early twentieth century political developments, various aspects remain unexplored. One feature is how populists make use of a crisis. While populists do benefit from social and political rifts, this paper goes a step further and argues that civilisationalist populists create imaginary and exaggerated ‘crises’ to sustain and prolong their relevance/position in power as well as justify their undemocratic actions. Using the case studies of Turkey (Recep Tayyip Erdogan) and Pakistan (Imran Khan) allows for a comparison to be drawn between two different leaders seeking to maintain power by using their position to either create civilizationalist crises or to frame ordinary crises as civilisational. The findings highlight that despite different political scenarios and outcomes, both these populist leaders gained political support by creating crises. We find that in most cases, populists exaggerate pre-existing insecurities and events to their benefit. The overblown claims and conspiratorial scenarios aid populists in creating a niche for their narratives by reaffirming their populist categorisation of societies. At the same time, the findings bring forth the troubling issues of the social-political cost of these Islamist civilisationalist populists.
