In this paper we shall discuss maximal nonparabolic and maximal normal nonparabolic subgroups of the modular group Г = 〈ω, φ; ω2=φ3= 1〉. The modular group may also be defined as the group of fractional linear transformationsw= (az+b)/(cz+d), wherea, b, c, dare rational integers withad − bc= 1. Here, a maximal nonparabolic subgroup of Г is a subgroup that contains no parabolic elements and any proper subgroup of Г which containsScontains parabolic elements. Similarly, a maximal normal nonparabolic subgroup is a normal nonparabolic subgroup of Г which is not contained in any larger normal nonparabolic subgroup of Г.

Generic-case approach to algorithmic problems was suggested by A. Miasnikov, I. Kapovich, P. Schupp and V. Shpilrain in 2003. This approach studies behavior of an algo-rithm on typical (almost all) inputs and ignores the rest of inputs. In this paper, we prove that the subset sum problems for the monoid of integer positive unimodular matrices of the second order, the special linear group of the second order, and the modular group are generically solvable in polynomial time.

Clinicians often encounter thyroid function tests (TFT) comprising serum/plasma free thyroxine (FT4) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) measured using different assay platforms during the course of follow-up evaluations which complicates reliable comparison and interpretation of TFT changes. Although interconversion between concentration units is straightforward, the validity of interconversion of FT4/TSH values from one assay platform to another with different reference intervals remains questionable. This study aims to establish an accurate and reliable methodology of interconverting FT4 by any laboratory to an equivalent FT4 value scaled to a reference range of interest via linear transformation methods. As a proof-of-concept, FT4 was simultaneously assayed by direct analog immunoassay, tandem mass spectrometry and equilibrium dialysis. Both linear and piecewise linear transformations proved relatively accurate for FT4 inter-scale conversion. Linear transformation performs better when FT4 are converted from a more accurate to a less accurate assay platform. The converse is true, whereby piecewise linear transformation is superior to linear transformation when converting values from a less accurate method to a more robust assay platform. Such transformations can potentially apply to other biochemical analytes scale conversions, including TSH. This aids interpretation of TFT trends while monitoring the treatment of patients with thyroid disorders.

Abstract Dedekind sums occur in the transformation behavior of the logarithm of the Dedekind eta-function under substitutions from the modular group. In 1892, Dedekind showed a reciprocity relation for the Dedekind sums. Apostol generalized Dedekind sums by replacing the first Bernoulli function appearing in them by any Bernoulli functions and derived a reciprocity relation for the generalized Dedekind sums. In this paper, we consider the poly-Dedekind sums obtained from the Dedekind sums by replacing the first Bernoulli function by any type 2 poly-Bernoulli functions of arbitrary indices and prove a reciprocity relation for the poly-Dedekind sums.

AbstractSplines are one of the main methods of mathematically representing complicated shapes, which have become the primary technique in the fields of Computer Graphics (CG) and Computer-Aided Geometric Design (CAGD) for modeling complex surfaces. Among all, Bézier and Catmull–Rom splines are the most common in the sub-fields of engineering. In this paper, we focus on conversion between cubic Bézier and Catmull–Rom curve segments, rather than going through their properties. By deriving the conversion equations, we aim at converting the original set of the control points of either of the Catmull–Rom or Bézier cubic curves to a new set of control points, which corresponds to approximately the same shape as the original curve, when considered as the set of the control points of the other curve. Due to providing simple linear transformations of control points, the method is very simple, efficient, and easy to implement, which is further validated in this paper using some numerical and visual examples.

Let Pc(x)={p≤x|p,[pc]areprimes},c∈R+∖N and λsym2f(n) be the n-th Fourier coefficient associated with the symmetric square L-function L(s,sym2f). For any A>0, we prove that the mean value of λsym2f(n) over Pc(x) is ≪xlog−A−2x for almost all c∈ε,(5+3)/8−ε in the sense of Lebesgue measure. Furthermore, it holds for all c∈(0,1) under the Riemann Hypothesis. Furthermore, we obtain that asymptotic formula for λf2(n) over Pc(x) is ∑p,qprimep≤x,q=[pc]λf2(p)=xclog2x(1+o(1)), for almost all c∈ε,(5+3)/8−ε, where λf(n) is the normalized n-th Fourier coefficient associated with a holomorphic cusp form f for the full modular group.
