We shall prove that the celebrated Rényi entropy is the first example of a new family of infinitely many multi-parametric entropies. We shall call them the Z-entropies . Each of them, under suitable hypotheses, generalizes the celebrated entropies of Boltzmann and Rényi. A crucial aspect is that every Z -entropy is composable (Tempesta 2016 Ann. Phys. 365 , 180–197. ( doi:10.1016/j.aop.2015.08.013 )). This property means that the entropy of a system which is composed of two or more independent systems depends, in all the associated probability space, on the choice of the two systems only. Further properties are also required to describe the composition process in terms of a group law. The composability axiom, introduced as a generalization of the fourth Shannon–Khinchin axiom (postulating additivity), is a highly non-trivial requirement. Indeed, in the trace-form class, the Boltzmann entropy and Tsallis entropy are the only known composable cases. However, in the non-trace form class, the Z -entropies arise as new entropic functions possessing the mathematical properties necessary for information-theoretical applications, in both classical and quantum contexts. From a mathematical point of view, composability is intimately related to formal group theory of algebraic topology. The underlying group-theoretical structure determines crucially the statistical properties of the corresponding entropies.

AbstractFontaine described the category of formal groups over the ring of Witt vectors over a finite field of characteristic p with the aid of triples consisting of the module of logarithms, the Dieudonné module, and the morphism from the former to the latter. We propose an explicit construction for the kernels in this category in term of Fontaine's triples. The construction is applied to the formal norm homomorphism in the case of an unramified extension of ℚp and of a totally ramiûed extension of degree less or equal than p. A similar consideration applied to a global extension allows us to establish the existence of a strict isomorphism between the formal norm torus and a formal group law coming from L-series.

The object of this paper is to prove that for a finite abelian group G the natural map is injective, where Â(G) is the completion of the Burnside ring of G and σ0(BG) is the stable cohomotopy of the classifying space BG of G. The map â is detected by means of an M U* exponential characteristic class for permutation representations constructed in (11). The result is a generalization of a theorem of Laitinen (4) which treats elementary abelian groups using ordinary cohomology. One interesting feature of the present proof is that it makes explicit use of the universality of the formal group law of M U*. It also involves a computation of M U*(BG) in terms of the formal group law. This may be of independent interest. Since writing the paper the author has discovered that M U*(BG) has previously been calculated by Land-weber(5).

Mathematical Properties

In this work, we propose and study a new family of discrete distributions. Many useful mathematical properties, such as ordinary moments, moment generating function, cumulant generating function, probability generating function, central moment, and dispersion index are derived. Some special discrete versions are presented. A certain special case is discussed graphically and numerically. The hazard rate function of the new class can be “decreasing”, “upside down”, “increasing”, and “decreasing-constant-increasing (U-shape)”. Some useful characterization results based on the conditional expectation of certain function of the random variable and in terms of the hazard function are derived and presented. Bayesian and non-Bayesian methods of estimation are considered. The Bayesian estimation procedure under the squared error loss function is discussed. Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation studies for comparing non-Bayesian and Bayesian estimations are performed using the Gibbs sampler and Metropolis–Hastings algorithm. Four applications to real data sets are employed for comparing the Bayesian and non-Bayesian methods. The importance and flexibility of the new discrete class is illustrated by means of four real data applications.

Adoption involves strong emotions. From the adoptee’s point of view, adoption means not only the gain of a new family but also inevitable losses. This study aims at analyzing adoption-related feelings, which include the feelings of loss and the ensuing curiosity about the birth family and pre-adoption life. A total of 81 adopted adolescents, aged 12–22, adopted at 4 years of age, on average, participated in this study. The data were collected using the Questionnaire of Adoption-related Feelings and the Adopted Adolescents Interview, which allowed for the identification of the experiences, feelings, and attitudes of the adopted adolescents regarding their story before and after adoption, and their feelings towards their birth family. The results showed that most participants did not identify adoption-related losses. Nevertheless, they acknowledged the existence of some aspects of their adoption story that made them feel sad and angry and could identify several difficulties associated with their adoptive status. Participants showed low levels of curiosity even if they were mostly curious about the reasons why they had been placed up for adoption. The adoptees’ feelings when thinking about their birth parents, the curiosity regarding their past, and their adoption-related losses predicted their feelings related to the adoption experience. Several implications for the psychological practice with adopted adolescents will be presented.

AbstractA sequence of ideals Ik,n ⊆ BP* is introduced, with the property: Ik,n ⊆ Ann(γk,n), where γk,n is the toral class of the Brown-Peterson homology of the n-fold product BZ/pk × ··· × BZ/pk. These ideals seem to play an interesting and yet unclear role in understanding Ann(γk,n). They are defined by using the formal group law of the Brown-Peterson spectrum BP, and some of their elementary properties are established. By using classical theorems of Landweber and of Ravenel-Wilson, the author computes the radicals of Ik,n and Ann(γk,n), and discusses a few examples.

Possibilistic Clustering

Fuzzy clustering is an approach using the fuzzy set theory as a tool for data grouping, which has advantages over traditional clustering in many applications. Many fuzzy clustering algorithms have been developed in the literature including fuzzy c-means and possibilistic clustering algorithms, which are all objective-function based methods. Different from the existing fuzzy clustering approaches, in this paper, a general approach of fuzzy clustering is initiated from a new point of view, in which the memberships are estimated directly according to the data information using the fuzzy set theory, and the cluster centers are updated via a performance index. This new method is then used to develop a generalized approach of possibilistic clustering to obtain an infinite family of generalized possibilistic clustering algorithms. We also point out that the existing possibilistic clustering algorithms are members of this family. Following that, some specific possibilistic clustering algorithms in the new family are demonstrated by real data experiments, and the results show that these new proposed algorithms are efficient for clustering and easy for computer implementation.

Based on the Nadarajah Haghighi distribution and the Topp Leone-G family in view of the T-X family, we introduce a new generator of continuous distributions with three extra parameters called the Nadarajah Haghighi Topp Leone-G family. Three sub-models of the new class are discussed. Main mathematical properties of the new family are investigated such as; quantile function, raw and incomplete moments, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, moment and probability generating functions, stress-strength model, Shanon and Rényi entropies, order statistics and probability weighted moments. The model parameters of the new family is estimated by using the method of maximum likelihood and the observed information matrix is also obtained. We introduce two real applications to show the importance of the new family.

International audience If $f(x)$ is an invertible power series we may form the symmetric function $f(f^{-1}(x_1)+f^{-1}(x_2)+...)$ which is called a formal group law. We give a number of examples of power series $f(x)$ that are ordinary generating functions for combinatorial objects with a recursive structure, each of which is associated with a certain hypergraph. In each case, we show that the corresponding formal group law is the sum of the chromatic symmetric functions of these hypergraphs by finding a combinatorial interpretation for $f^{-1}(x)$. We conjecture that the chromatic symmetric functions arising in this way are Schur-positive. Si $f(x)$ est une série entière inversible, nous pouvons former la fonction symétrique $f(f^{-1}(x_1)+f^{-1}(x_2)+...)$ que nous appelons une loi de groupe formel. Nous donnons plusieurs exemples de séries entières $f(x)$ qui sont séries génératrices ordinaires pour des objets combinatoires avec une structure récursive, chacune desquelles est associée à un certain hypergraphe. Dans chaque cas, nous donnons une interprétation combinatoire à $f^{-1}(x)$, ce qui nous permet de montrer que la loi de groupe formel correspondante est la somme des fonctions symétriques chromatiques de ces hypergraphes. Nous conjecturons que les fonctions symétriques chromatiques apparaissant de cette manière sont Schur-positives.

International audience An important combinatorial result in equivariant cohomology and $K$-theory Schubert calculus is represented by the formulas of Billey and Graham-Willems for the localization of Schubert classes at torus fixed points. These formulas work uniformly in all Lie types, and are based on the concept of a root polynomial. We define formal root polynomials associated with an arbitrary formal group law (and thus a generalized cohomology theory). We usethese polynomials to simplify the approach of Billey and Graham-Willems, as well as to generalize it to connective $K$-theory and elliptic cohomology. Another result is concerned with defining a Schubert basis in elliptic cohomology (i.e., classes independent of a reduced word), using the Kazhdan-Lusztig basis of the corresponding Hecke algebra. Un résultat combinatoire important dans le calcul de Schubert pour la cohomologie et la $K$-théorie équivariante est représenté par les formules de Billey et Graham-Willems pour la localisation des classes de Schubert aux points fixes du tore. Ces formules sont uniformes pour tous les types de Lie, et sont basés sur le concept d’un polynôme de racines. Nous définissons les polynômes formels de racines associées à une loi arbitraire de groupe formel (et donc à une théorie de cohomologie généralisée). Nous utilisons ces polynômes pour simplifier les preuves de Billey et Graham-Willems, et aussi pour généraliser leurs résultats à la $K$-théorie connective et la cohomologie elliptique. Un autre résultat concerne la définition d’une base de Schubert dans cohomologie elliptique (c’est à dire, des classes indépendantes d’un mot réduit), en utilisant la base de Kazhdan-Lusztig de l’algèbre de Hecke correspondant.

The article considers the scientific heritage of V. A. Rokhlin in algebraic topology from the point of view of the modern development of mathematics and shows the influence of his results on the development of algebraic topology up to the present. The second part of the article contains new results with fairly detailed sketches of their proofs. There we introduce the notion of partially framed manifolds, which naturally arise in the study of the characteristic classes of vector bundles over the loop space Ω S U ( 2 ) = Ω S P ( 1 ) \Omega SU(2)=\Omega SP(1) . We obtain theorems on the divisibility of the signature of such manifolds as a result of calculations of characteristic classes with values in complex and quaternionic cobordism.
