description: Model pattern matching is an important operation in model transformation and therefore in model-driven development tools. In this paper we present a pattern based approach that includes a star operator that can be used to represent recursive or hierarchical structures in models. We also present a matching algorithm, motivating examples and we discuss its implementation in a modeling tool.

description: There are three quarks with masses at or below the characteristic scale of QCD dynamics: up, down and strange. However, twisted mass lattice QCD relies on quark doublets. Various options for including three quark flavors within the twisted mass approach are explored by studying the kaon masses, both analytically (through chiral Lagrangians) and numerically (through lattice simulations). Advantages and disadvantages are revealed for each ``strange and twisted'' option.

title: A branch and bound algorithm for the global optimization of Hessian Lipschitz continuous functions
Creators: name: Fowkes, JM
name: Gould, N I M
name: Farmer, CL
Publisher: name: Science and Technology Facilities Council
Year: 2011

description: We present a branch and bound algorithm for the global optimization of a twice differentiable nonconvex objective function with a Lipschitz continuous Hessian over a compact, convex set.The algorithm is based on applying cubic regularisation techniques to the objective function within an overlapping branch and bound algorithm for convex constrained global optimization. Unlike other branch and bound algorithms, lower bounds are obtained via nonconvex underestimators of the function. For a numerical example, we apply the proposed branch and bound algorithm to radial basis function approximations.
Twisted $\boldsymbolμ_4$-normal form for elliptic curves
Creators: name: Kohel, David
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Number Theory (math.NT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We introduce the twisted $\boldsymbolμ_4$-normal form for elliptic curves, deriving in particular addition algorithms with complexity $9\mathbf{M} + 2\mathbf{S}$ and doubling algorithms with complexity $2\mathbf{M} + 5\mathbf{S} + 2\mathbf{m}$ over a binary field. Every ordinary elliptic curve over a finite field of characteristic 2 is isomorphic to one in this family. This improvement to the addition algorithm, applicable to a larger class of curves, is comparable to the $7\mathbf{M} + 2\mathbf{S}$ achieved for the $\boldsymbolμ_4$-normal form, and replaces the previously best known complexity of $13\mathbf{M} + 3\mathbf{S}$ on López-Dahab models applicable to these twisted curves. The derived doubling algorithm is essentially optimal, without any assumption of special cases. We show moreover that the Montgomery scalar multiplication with point recovery carries over to the twisted models, giving symmetric scalar multiplication adapted to protect against side channel attacks, with a cost of $4\mathbf{M} + 4\mathbf{S} + 1\mathbf{m}_t + 2\mathbf{m}_c$ per bit. In characteristic different from 2, we establish a linear isomorphism with the twisted Edwards model over the base field. This work, in complement to the introduction of $\boldsymbolμ_4$-normal form, fills the lacuna in the body of work on efficient arithmetic on elliptic curves over binary fields, explained by this common framework for elliptic curves in $\boldsymbolμ_4$-normal form over a field of any characteristic. The improvements are analogous to those which the Edwards and twisted Edwards models achieved for elliptic curves over finite fields of odd characteristic, and extend $\boldsymbolμ_4$-normal form to cover the binary NIST curves.
Adding Recursion to Graph Transformation
Creators: name: Guerra, Esther
name: De Lara, Juan
Publisher: name: European Association of Software Science and Technology
Year: 2007

description: In this paper we define recursive rules in the double pushout approach (DPO) to graph transformation. Classical DPO rules are extended with a base case condition and a recursion condition. Mechanisms are provided to pass the match from both conditions to the rule's left hand side, and also between two consecutive steps in the recursion. The approach is useful when recursive structures  (such as inheritance hierarchies, nested component hierarchies, networks of functional blocks, etc.) have to be processed. Although we present the recursion for DPO, it can also be adapted to other approaches to graph and model transformation. We present examples for model transformation, model simulation and model optimization in different application domains.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Interaction between dark matter and dark energy as one of not completely solved problems in cosmology has been studied extensively. This interaction affects the cosmic structures. In this regard, the shape of cosmic voids can be influenced by the dark matter and dark energy interaction. Here, employing the dynamical dark energy model constrained by the observational data, we study the effects of this interaction on the ellipticity of cosmic voids. To this aim, we apply the linear growth of density perturbation in the presence of interaction. The probability density distribution for the ellipticity of cosmic voids has been investigated. The results confirm that the ellipticity of cosmic voids increases when the dark matter and dark energy interaction is considered.

description: Applicability of the concept of financial log-periodicity is discussed and encouragingly verified for various phases of the world stock markets development in the period 2000-2010. In particular, a speculative forecasting scenario designed in the end of 2004, that properly predicted the world stock market increases in 2007, is updated by setting some more precise constraints on the time of duration of the present long-term equity market bullish phase. A termination of this phase is evaluated to occur in around November 2009. In particular, on the way towards this dead-line, a Spring-Summer 2008 increase is expected. On the precious metals market a forthcoming critical time signal is detected at the turn of March/April 2008 which marks a tendency for at least a serious correction to begin. In the present extended version some predictions for the future oil price are incorporated. In particular a serious correction on this market is expected to start in the coming days.

description: Automatic evaluation metrics are fundamentally important for Machine Translation, allowing comparison of systems performance and efficient training. Current evaluation metrics fall into two classes: heuristic approaches,like BLEU, and those using supervised learning trained on human judgement data. While many trained metrics provide a better match against human judgements, this comes at thecost of including lots of features, leading to unwieldy, non-portable and slow metrics. In this paper, we introduce a new trained metric, ROSE, which only uses simple featuresthat are easy portable and quick to compute. In addition, ROSE is sentence-based, as opposed to document-based, allowing it to be used in a wider range of settings. Results show that ROSE performs well on many tasks, suchas ranking system and syntactic constituents, with results competitive to BLEU. Moreover, this still holds when ROSE is trained on human judgements of translations into a different language compared with that use in testing.

description: While polymer solutions lack the mechanical stability only transiently cross-linked networks can fulfill the competing requirements of structural stability and maximal energy dissipation. Here, we show that transient cross-links entail local stress relaxation and energy dissipation in an intermediate elasticity dominated frequency regime. We quantify the mechanical response of a semi-flexible polymer network by experimentally tuning the off-rate of the transient cross-linker molecule and theoretically reproduce the measured frequency response by a model that is predicated on microscopic unbinding events.

subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We study the multiplicities of pure motives modulo numerical equivalence, which are defined as scalars comparing the tannakian trace with the ring-theoretic trace. Our general set-up is that of a rigid semi-simple tensor category such that End(1) is a field of characteristic 0. The main result is that, due to the existence of a Weil cohomology theory (to be defined appropriately in the general set-up), the multiplicities are integers. This property is sufficient for the rationality (and functional equation) of the zeta function of an (invertible) endomorphism. We also show that the classical equivalent conditions to the Tate conjecture for pure motives over a finite field are of category-theoretic nature in the sense that they can be proven in the above abstract set-up.
description: Revised and expanded version: in particular we prove that the multiplicities of a numerical motive of abelian type over a finite field are all equal to + or - 1

description: The antibandwidth maximization problem is the dual of the well-known bandwidth minimization problem. In this paper, we consider the feasibility of adapting heuristic algorithms for the bandwidth minimization problem to the antibandwidth maximization problem. In particular, using an inexpensive level-based heuristic we obtain an initial ordering that we re ne using a hill-climbing algorithm. This approach performs well on matrices coming from a range of practical problems with an underlying mesh. Comparisons with existing approaches show that, on this class of problems, our algorithm can be competitive with recently reported results in terms of quality while being signi cantly faster and applicable to much larger problems.
Z(2)-symmetric center vortex model with a first-order deconfinement transition

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)

description: A random vortex world-surface model for the infrared sector of Sp(2) Yang-Mills theory is constructed. The Sp(2) gauge group, while allowing for the same set of center vortex fluxes as the SU(2) gauge group, induces a significantly different dynamics on those vortex fluxes, which manifests itself in a first-order deconfinement phase transition. As shown by the construction presented here, a new vortex effective action term which can be interpreted in terms of a vortex stickiness can be used to drive the deconfinement transition towards first-order behavior. The available data from lattice Sp(2) Yang-Mills theory are reproduced quantitatively and, in addition, predictions for the behavior of the spatial string tension at high temperatures are presented.

Two different fluid phases separated by a solid region have been observed in the high $α$-cyclodextrin concentration range ($c$$\geq$150 mg/ml). Decreasing $c$, the temperature interval where the solid phase exists decreases and eventually disappears, and a first order phase transition is observed between the two different fluid phases.

description: We present a mechanism for chondrules to stick together by means of compaction of a porous dust rim they sweep up as they move through the dusty nebula gas. It is shown that dust aggregates formed out of micron-sized grains stick to chondrules, forming a porous dust rim. When chondrules collide, this dust can be compacted by means of rolling motions within the porous dust layer. This mechanism dissipates the collisional energy, compacting the rim and allowing chondrules to stick. The structure of the obtained chondrule-dust agglomerates (referred to as compounds) then consists of three phases: chondrules, porous dust, and dust that has been compacted by collisions. Subsequently, these compounds accrete their own dust and collide with other compounds. The evolution of the compound size distribution and the relative importance of the phases is calculated by a Monte Carlo code. Growth ends, and a simulation is terminated when all the dust in the compounds has been compacted. Numerous runs are performed, reflecting the uncertainty in the physical conditions at the chondrule formation time. It is found that compounds can grow by 1-2 orders of magnitudes in radius, upto dm-sizes when turbulence levels are low. However, relative velocities associated with radial drift form a barrier for further growth. Earlier findings that the dust sweep-up by chondrules is proportional to their sizes are confirmed. We contrast two scenarios regarding how this dust evolved further towards the densely packed rims seen in chondrites.

description: Das Drucken funktioneller, elektrisch (halb-)leitender Schichten eröffnet neue Möglichkeiten zur Implementierung elektrischer Komponenten in einer neuen Generation Bauteil. Insbesondere der digitale Tintenstrahldruck eröffnet dabei ein Höchstmaß an Personalisierung und Gestaltungsfreiheit zur Erschließung neuer Märkte. Hieraus resultieren deutlich andere Anforderungen an den Druckprozess, das Substrat oder die Tinte, als beim etablierten graphischen Druck, was die Entwicklung neuartiger Bauelemente notwendig macht. Diese müssen meist als Gesamtsystem individuell optimiert und angepasst werden. Diese Arbeit setzt an der Seite des Substrats an und führt drei neuartige Methoden zur Substratfunktionalisierung für die Optimierung tintenstrahlgedruckter (opto-)elektronischer Bauteile ein. Zunächst wurde der Einfluss der Oberflächenenergie auf die Druckauflösung untersucht. Hierzu wurden in einem neuartigen Prozess siloxanbasierte selbst-organisierende Monolagen (SAM) auf ein Glassubstrat abgeschieden, wodurch die Oberflächenenergie zwischen 47 und 13 mN/m variiert werden konnte. Hierdurch konnte die Auflösung, in Bezug auf die Einzeltropfengröße, um bis zu 70 % gesteigert werden. Durch die substratunabhängige Silanisierungsreaktion konnte die Oberflächenenergie verschiedener Substrate aneinander angeglichen werden, so dass die Tintenentwicklung vom Substrat entkoppelt werden kann. Basierend auf diesen Ergebnissen, wurde in einem weiteren Schritt die Strukturierung der Oberflächenenergie untersucht, um die Ausbreitung und den Fluss der Tinte auf dem Substrat gezielt zu steuern. Durch die Kombination der Oberflächenstrukturierung mit den Vorteilen des digitalen Tintenstrahldrucks, konnte die Druckauflösung Tinten- vor allem aber auch Strukturunabhängig merklich erhöht werden. Hierdurch ist es möglich, Elektroden mit einem Abstand von 25 µm in einem einzelnen Druckdurchgang herzustellen. Auf Basis dieser Substratfunktionalisierungen konnten funktionale organische Feldeffekttransistoren hergestellt werden, um den Einfluss der SAM auf die elektrischen Eigenschaften zu untersuchen. Die elektrische Charakterisierung der Bauteile enthüllte, dass durch die Oberflächenmodifikation die Druckauflösung gesteigert werden kann, ohne dass die elektrischen Eigenschaften beeinflusst werden. Ein weiterer Ansatz spiegelt die Leistungsfähigkeit des Tintenstahldrucks wider. Durch die Entwicklung einer druckbaren, jedoch hochkonzentrierten Tinte, konnten fluoreszente Schichten auf der Substratrückseite von tintenstrahlgedruckten Perowskit-Solarzellen abgeschieden werden. Hierdurch konnte eine größtmögliche Flexibilität in Bezug auf Form und Farbe der Solarzellen erreicht werden, wobei die Gesamtleistung der Solarzelle nur um bis zu 17 % reduziert wurde.

description: In this paper we generalize electric S-brane solutions with maximal number of branes. Previously for the action containing D-dimensional gravity, a scalar field and antisymmetric (p+2)-form we found composite, electric S-brane solutions with all non-zero ``charge'' densities which obeyed self-duality or anti-self-duality relations. These solutions occurred when D = 4m+1 = 5, 9, 13, >... and p = 2m-1 = 1, 3, 5, ... Here we generalize these solutions to the case when the spatial 4m-dimensional submanifold is Ricci-flat rather than simply Euclidean-flat and the charge density form is a parallel self-dual or anti-self-dual form of rank 2m. Also generalizations are found for the case when there is an extra ``internal'' Ricci-flat manifold not covered by the S-branes. In the case when one allows a phantom scalar field a subset of these solutions lead to accelerated expansion of this extra spatial factor space not covered by the S-branes while the other spatial factor space of dimension 4m contracts. Some of these S-brane solutions also provide specific examples of solutions of type IIA supergravity.

Streamer Self-Focusing in External Longitudinal Magnetic Field

description: The numerical simulation of the development of a streamer discharge in a gap with an external longitudinal magnetic field was used to demonstrate the self-focusing of such discharges. Self-focusing is caused by a sharp deceleration of the radial ionization wave due to a change in the electron energy distribution function, a decrease in the average electron energy, the rate of gas ionization and the electron mobility in crossed electric and magnetic fields as compared to the case of the discharge development without a magnetic field. The self-focusing effect of a streamer discharge in an external longitudinal magnetic field is observed for both positive and negative pulse polarities. The paper proposes an estimate of the critical value of the magnetic field, which makes it possible to control the development of pulsed high-voltage discharges at various gas pressures.
C.K. Stead and three modes of New Zealand poetry
Creators: name: Phillipson, Allan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The majority of New Zealand's poetry critics take a purist and prescriptive approach to their subject, dividing poems and poets into one of three modes: realism, modernism and postmodernism. Furthermore, critics usually hold up one of these modes as the 'best' way to write, dismissing the others. My thesis argues for an adjustment of that paradigm to allow for poetry that crosses boundaries and combines aspects of more than one mode. C.K. Stead's writing illustrates both of these tendencies: purist theories in his critical work, post-purist practice in his poetry. Stead's career covers a broad cross-section of New Zealand's recent literary history, from 1951 to 1997. Chapter one introduces this period by surveying its critical methodologies, arguing for a shift away from the dominant purist paradigm. This opening chapter also proposes an adjustment in one of the turning points in New Zealand's literary history, the arrival of modernism. Most surveys place that arrival at approximately 1970, ignoring the publication of Stead's "Pictures in a Gallery Undersea" in 1959, likely the first modernist long poem written by a New Zealander. Chapters two and three explore Stead's modernism in theory and in practice, and provide the first detailed critical discussion of "Pictures in a Gallery." Chapter four casts back to Stead's early use and rejection of realism, while chapter five shows realism continuing in a seam that runs throughout his work. Having established a mixture of realism and modernism, Stead then demonstrates his skill with postmodernist techniques, creating a threeway mixture of modes. Chapter six shows how that mixture develops in his poetry, while chapter seven traces a similar pattern in his fiction. Finally, chapter eight explores how the later poems cross these categorical boundaries, developing a poetic that relaxes hierarchical divisions. Stead's practice contravenes the prescriptions of many New Zealand poetry critics—and it particularly counters his own purist critical arguments in favour of modernism. This thesis proposes a criticism that can allow for and describe Stead's post-purist practice. My conclusion suggests that this post-purist approach applies not only to the work of C.K. Stead, but also to some of the recent work by other New Zealand poets, such as Allen Curnow, Bill Manhire and Ian Wedde.

Considering both longitudinal and transverse beam polarization, and accounting for initial-state radiation, beamstrahlung and beam energy spread, we discuss how angular distributions and asymmetries can be used to detect clear signals of virtual bileptons, and the possibility of distinguishing theoretical models that incorporate these exotic particles. We then estimate 95% C.L. bounds on the mass of these vector bileptons and on their couplings to electrons.

description: Retouching can significantly elevate the visual appeal of photos, but many casual photographers lack the expertise to operate in a professional manner. One particularly challenging task for old photo retouching remains the removal of dust and scratches artifacts. Traditionally, this task has been completed manually with special image enhancement software and represents a tedious task that requires special know-how of photo editing applications. However, recent research utilizing Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) has been proven to obtain good results in various automated image enhancement tasks compared to traditional methods. This motivated us to explore the use of GANs in the context of film photo editing. In this paper, we present a GAN based method that is able to remove dust and scratches errors from film scans. Specifically, residual learning is utilized to speed up the training process, as well as boost the denoising performance. An extensive evaluation of our model on a community provided dataset shows that it generalizes remarkably well, not being dependent on any particular type of image. Finally, we significantly outperform the state-of-the-art methods and software applications, providing superior results.

description: We propose to set the Skyrme parameters F_π and e such that they reproduce the physical masses of the nucleon and the deuteron. We allow deformation using an axially symmetric solution and simulated annealing to minimize the total energy for the B=1 nucleon and B=$ deuteron. First we find that axial deformations are responsible for a significant reduction (factor of \approx 4) of the rotational energy but also that it is not possible to get a common set of parameters F_π and e which would fit both nucleon and deuteron masses simultaneously at least for m_π= 138 MeV, 345 MeV and 500 MeV. This suggests that either m_π>500 MeV or additional terms must be added to the Skyrme Lagrangian.

description: Application of graph transformations for software verification and model transformation is an emergent field of research. In particular, graph transformation approaches provide a natural way of modelling object oriented systems and semantics of object-oriented languages. 

There exist a number of tools for graph transformations that are often specialised in a particular kind of graphs and/or graph transformation approaches, depending on the desired application domain. The main drawback of this diversity is the lack of interoperability.

In this paper we show how (typed) multigraph production systems can be translated into (typed) simple-graph production systems. The presented construction enables the use of multigraphs with DPO transformation approach in tools that only support simple graphs with SPO transformation approach, e.g. the GROOVE tool.

The comparison is three-fold and regards conceptual aspects, language properties, and infrastructure features. Because of the different relevance of these aspects, we do not determine a clear winner but leave it to the reader.

description: Bereits in den 1820er Jahren fasste der Dessauer Hofkapellmeister Friedrich Schneider den Plan zur Komposition einer zusammenhängenden Reihe von vier abendfüllenden Oratorien, die das Leben Jesu zum Gegenstand haben. Zwar hat Schneider seinen ursprünglichen Plan einer Tetralogie nicht realisiert, jedoch sind immerhin drei vollständige Oratorien entstanden, die eine zusammenhängende Trilogie bilden (Christus das Kind, Christus der Meister, Christus der Erlöser). Mit dieser Edition der Partitur sowie der Neuedition des Klavierauszuges von "Christus das Kind" liegt erstmals das notwendige Material zur Wiederbelebung des ersten Teils der Christus-Trilogie vor.

Visual Programming with Recursion Patterns in Interaction Nets
Creators: name: Mackie, Ian
name: Sousa Pinto, Jorge
name: Vilaca, Miguel
Publisher: name: European Association of Software Science and Technology
Year: 2007

description: In this paper we propose to use Interaction Nets as a formalism for
Visual Functional Programming. We consider the use of recursion
patterns as a programming idiom, and introduce a suitable
archetype/instantiation mechanism for interaction agents, which allows
one to define agents whose behaviour is based on recursion patterns.

Epsilon-measures of entanglement
Creators: name: Mora, Caterina
name: Piani, Marco

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We associate to every entanglement measure a family of measures which depend on a precision parameter, and which we call epsilon-measures of entanglement. Their definition aims at addressing a realistic scenario in which we need to estimate the amount of entanglement in a state that is only partially known. We show that many properties of the original measure are inherited by the family, in particular weak monotonicity under transformations applied by means of Local Operations and Classical Communication (LOCC). On the other hand, they may increase on average under stochastic LOCC. Remarkably, the epsilon-version of a convex entanglement measure is continuous even if the original entanglement measure is not, so that the epsilon-version of an entanglement measure may be actually considered a smoothed version of it.

description: We investigate several important issues regarding the Random Batch Method (RBM) for second order interacting particle systems. We first show the uniform-in-time strong convergence for second order systems under suitable contraction conditions. Secondly, we propose the application of RBM for singular interaction kernels via kernel splitting strategy, and investigate numerically the application to molecular dynamics.

Imposing Hierarchy on a Graph
Creators: name: Sheehan, Brendan
name: Gaudin, Benoit
name: Quigley, Aaron
Publisher: name: European Association of Software Science and Technology
Year: 2007

description: This paper investigates a way of imposing a hierarchy on a graph in order to explore relationships between elements of data. Imposing a hierarchy is equivalent to clustering. First a tree structure is imposed on the initial graph, then a k-partite structure is imposed on each previously obtained cluster. Imposing a tree exposes the hierarchical structure of the graph as well as providing an abstraction of the data. In this study three kinds of merge operations are considered and their composition is shown to yield a tree with a maximal number of vertices in which vertices in the tree are associated with disjoint connected subgraphs. These subgraphs are subsequently transformed into k-partite graphs using similar merge operations. These merges also ensure that the obtained tree is proper with respect to the hierarchy imposed on the data.

A detailed example of the techniqueâs application in exposing the structure of protein interaction networks is described. The example focuses on the MAPK cell signalling pathway. The merge operations help expose where signal regulation occurs within the pathway and from other signalling pathways within the cell.

Improved measurement of CP observables in B- --> D0_{CP} K- decays

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: We present a study of the decay B- -> D0_CP K- and its charge conjugate, where D0_CP is reconstructed in both a non-CP flavor eigenstate and in CP (CP-even and CP-odd) eigenstates, based on a sample of 382 million Y(4S) -> BBbar decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e+e- storage ring. We measure the direct CP asymmetries A_CP\pm and the ratios of the branching fractions R_CP\pm: A_CP+ = 0.27\pm 0.09(stat)\pm 0.04(syst), A_CP- =-0.09\pm 0.09(stat)\pm 0.02(syst), R_CP+ = 1.06\pm 0.10(stat)\pm 0.05(syst), R_CP- = 1.03\pm 0.10(stat)\pm 0.05(syst). We also express the results in terms of the so called Cartesian coordinates x+, x-, and r^2: x+ = -0.09\pm 0.05(stat)\pm 0.02(syst)}, x- = 0.10\pm 0.05(stat)\pm 0.03(syst)}, r^2 = 0.05\pm 0.07(stat)\pm 0.03(syst)}. These results will help to better constrain the phase parameter $γ=\arg(-V_{ud}V_{ub}^*/V_{cd}V_{cb}^*)$ of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa quark mixing matrix.

BLEU deconstructed: Designing a Better MT Evaluation Metric

description: BLEU is the de facto standard automatic evaluation met-ric in machine translation. While BLEU is undeniably useful, it has a number of limitations. Although it works well for large documents and multiple references, it is unreliable at the sentence or sub-sentence levels, and with a single reference. In this paper, we propose new variants ofBLEU which address these limitations, resulting in a more flexible metric which is not only more reliable, but also allows for more accurate discriminative training. Our best metric has better correlation with human judgements than standard BLEU, despite using a simpler formulation. Moreover, these improvements carry over to a system tuned for our newmetric.
Bisimulation Verification for the DPO Approach with Borrowed Contexts
Creators: name: Rangel, Guilherme
name: König, Barbara
name: Ehrig, Hartmut
Publisher: name: European Association of Software Science and Technology
Year: 2007

description: Bisimilarity is the most widespread notion of behavioral equivalence and hence algorithms
for bisimulation checking are of fundamental importance for verifying that
two systems are behaviorally equivalent (seen from the perspective of the environment).
We investigate this problem in the context of behavioral equivalences of
graphs and graph transformation systems, where the extension of the DPO approach
to borrowed contexts provides us with a formal basis for reasoning about bisimilarity
of graphs. In this paper we extend Hirschkoff's on-the-fly algorithm for bisimulation
checking, enabling it to verify whether two graphs are bisimilar with respect to
a given set of productions. We then apply this framework to refactoring problems
and verify instances of a model transformation which describes the minimization of
deterministic finite automata.

MSSM flat direction inflation
Creators: name: Allahverdi, Rouzbeh
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We argue that all necessary ingredients for successful inflation are present in the flat directions of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). Out of many gauge invariant combinations of the squarks, sleptons and Higgses, there are two flat directions, ${\bf LLe}$, and ${\bf udd}$, which are promising candidates for the inflaton. The model predicts more than $10^3$ e-foldings with an inflationary scale of $H_{\rm inf} \sim {\cal O}(1-10)$ GeV, provides a tilted spectrum $0.92 \leq n_s \leq 1$ with an amplitude of $δ_H \sim 10^{-5}$ and a negligible tensor perturbations. It yields a lower bound $\sim 340$ GeV on the sparticle masses which is within the reach of LHC. There is no gravitino or moduli problem in this model.

Rule-Level Verification of Business Process Transformations using CSP
Creators: name: Bisztray, Dánes
name: Heckel, Reiko
Publisher: name: European Association of Software Science and Technology
Year: 2007

description: Business Process Reengineering is one of the most widely adopted techniques to improve the efficiency of organisations. Transforming process models, we intend to change their semantics in certain predefined ways, making them more flexible, more restrictive, etc.

To understand and control the semantic consequences of change we use CSP to capture the behaviour of processes before and after the transformation. Formalising process transformations by graph transformation rules, we are interested in verifying semantic properties of these transformations at the level of rules, so that every application of a rule has a known semantic effect.

It turns out that we can do so if the mapping of activity diagrams models into the semantic domain CSP is compositional, i.e., compatible with the embedding of processes into larger contexts.

description: We study the relativistic electron-positron field at positive temperature in the Hartree-Fock-approximation. We consider both the case with and without exchange term, and investigate the existence and properties of minimizers. Our approach is non-perturbative in the sense that the relevant electron subspace is determined in a self-consistent way. The present work is an extension of previous work by Hainzl, Lewin, Séré, and Solovej where the case of zero temperature was considered.
