AbstractIn this paper, we study perturbations of multidimensional shifts of finite type. Specifically, for any ℤd shift of finite type X with d>1 and any finite pattern w in the language of X, we denote by Xw the set of elements of X not containing w. For strongly irreducible X and patterns w with shape a d-dimensional cube, we obtain upper and lower bounds on htop (X)−htop (Xw) dependent on the size of w. This extends a result of Lind for d=1 . We also apply our methods to an undecidability question in ℤd symbolic dynamics.

We investigate the entropy for a class of upper semi-continuous set-valued functions, called Markov set-valued functions, that are a generalization of single-valued Markov interval functions. It is known that the entropy of a Markov interval function can be found by calculating the entropy of an associated shift of finite type. In this paper, we construct a similar shift of finite type for Markov set-valued functions and use this shift space to find upper and lower bounds on the entropy of the set-valued function.

Let $(X_{A},\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E}_{A})$ be a shift of finite type and $\text{Aut}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E}_{A})$ its corresponding automorphism group. Associated to $\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}\in \text{Aut}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E}_{A})$ are certain Lyapunov exponents $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}^{-}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}),\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}^{+}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D719})$, which describe asymptotic behavior of the sequence of coding ranges of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}^{n}$. We give lower bounds on $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}^{-}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}),\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}^{+}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D719})$ in terms of the spectral radius of the corresponding action of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}$ on the dimension group associated to $(X_{A},\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E}_{A})$. We also give lower bounds on the topological entropy $h_{\text{top}}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D719})$ in terms of a distinguished part of the spectrum of the action of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}$ on the dimension group, but show that, in general, $h_{\text{top}}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D719})$ is not bounded below by the logarithm of the spectral radius of the action of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}$ on the dimension group.

Let Δ ⊊ V be a proper subset of the vertices V of the defining graph of an irreducible and aperiodic shift of finite type [Formula: see text]. Let ΣΔ be the subshift of allowable paths in the graph of [Formula: see text] which only passes through the vertices of Δ. For a random point x chosen with respect to an equilibrium state μ of a Hölder potential φ on [Formula: see text], let τn be the point process defined as the sum of Dirac point masses at the times k > 0, suitably rescaled, for which the first n-symbols of Tkx belong to Δ. We prove that this point process converges in law to a marked Poisson point process of constant parameter measure. The scale is related to the pressure of the restriction of φ to ΣΔ and the parameters of the limit law are explicitly computed.

We explore the concept of metastability in random dynamical systems, focusing on connections between random Perron–Frobenius operator cocycles and escape rates of random maps, and on topological entropy of random shifts of finite type. The Lyapunov spectrum of the random Perron–Frobenius cocycle and the random adjacency matrix cocycle is used to decompose the random system into two disjoint random systems with rigorous upper and lower bounds on (i) the escape rate in the setting of random maps, and (ii) topological entropy in the setting of random shifts of finite type, respectively.

The generalized distance matrix D α ( G ) of a connected graph G is defined as D α ( G ) = α T r ( G ) + ( 1 − α ) D ( G ) , where 0 ≤ α ≤ 1 , D ( G ) is the distance matrix and T r ( G ) is the diagonal matrix of the node transmissions. In this paper, we extend the concept of energy to the generalized distance matrix and define the generalized distance energy E D α ( G ) . Some new upper and lower bounds for the generalized distance energy E D α ( G ) of G are established based on parameters including the Wiener index W ( G ) and the transmission degrees. Extremal graphs attaining these bounds are identified. It is found that the complete graph has the minimum generalized distance energy among all connected graphs, while the minimum is attained by the star graph among trees of order n.

Abstract The main aim of this paper is to establish some Fejér-type inequalities involving hypergeometric functions in terms of GA-s-convexity. For this purpose, we construct a Hadamard k-fractional identity related to geometrically symmetric mappings. Moreover, we give the upper and lower bounds for the weighted inequalities via products of two different mappings. Some applications of the presented results to special means are also provided.

The signless Laplacian reciprocal distance matrix for a simple connected graph G is defined as RQ(G)=diag(RH(G))+RD(G). Here, RD(G) is the Harary matrix (also called reciprocal distance matrix) while diag(RH(G)) represents the diagonal matrix of the total reciprocal distance vertices. In the present work, some upper and lower bounds for the second-largest eigenvalue of the signless Laplacian reciprocal distance matrix of graphs in terms of various graph parameters are investigated. Besides, all graphs attaining these new bounds are characterized. Additionally, it is inferred that among all connected graphs with n vertices, the complete graph Kn and the graph Kn−e obtained from Kn by deleting an edge e have the maximum second-largest signless Laplacian reciprocal distance eigenvalue.

AbstractThe multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) method developed by M. B. Giles [Multilevel Monte Carlo path simulation, Oper. Res. 56 2008, 3, 607–617] has a natural application to the evaluation of nested expectations {\mathbb{E}[g(\mathbb{E}[f(X,Y)|X])]}, where {f,g} are functions and {(X,Y)} a couple of independent random variables. Apart from the pricing of American-type derivatives, such computations arise in a large variety of risk valuations (VaR or CVaR of a portfolio, CVA), and in the assessment of margin costs for centrally cleared portfolios. In this work, we focus on the computation of initial margin. We analyze the properties of corresponding MLMC estimators, for which we provide results of asymptotic optimality; at the technical level, we have to deal with limited regularity of the outer function g (which might fail to be everywhere differentiable). Parallel to this, we investigate upper and lower bounds for nested expectations as above, in the spirit of primal-dual algorithms for stochastic control problems.
