We introduce an infinite family of quantum enhancements of the biquandle counting invariant which we call biquandle virtual brackets. Defined in terms of skein invariants of biquandle colored oriented knot and link diagrams with values in a commutative ring [Formula: see text] using virtual crossings as smoothings, these invariants take the form of multisets of elements of [Formula: see text] and can be written in a “polynomial” form for convenience. The family of invariants defined herein includes as special cases all quandle and biquandle 2-cocycle invariants, all classical skein invariants (Alexander–Conway, Jones, HOMFLYPT and Kauffman polynomials) and all biquandle bracket invariants defined in [S. Nelson, M. E. Orrison and V. Rivera, Quantum enhancements and biquandle brackets, J. Knot Theory Ramifications 26(5) (2017) 1750034] as well as new invariants defined using virtual crossings in a fundamental way, without an obvious purely classical definition.

An investigation is presented of 87 Danish infants born to 62 drugaddicted mothers who had been pregnant altogether 145 times. In Denmark all pregnant women are offered prophylactic examinations, sometimes by their family doctor, sometimes by the midwife and in special cases by the obstetric clinic. Despite the fact that this antenatal care is considered especially important, not least for the addicted, pregnant woman, these offers were only poorly utilised. There were four perinatal deaths, of which two were stillbirths, further 3 infants died later as a result of abuse or neglect. After discharge from hospital only 43 infants lived at home with their mothers. The rest were either voluntarily or compulsorily placed with the mothers' parents, in family care, or in a childrens home. Only 2 infants were adopted. After their return home from the labour wards the mothers took little advantage of the prophylactic paediatric examinations and the vaccination program which are offered free by the family doctor to all children of pre-school age. The same was true regarding domiciliary visits by the health visitor.

Abstract We study a family of harmonic univalent functions in the open unit disc defined by using post quantum calculus operators. We first obtained a coefficient characterization of these functions. Using this, coefficients estimates, distortion and covering theorems were also obtained. The extreme points of the family and a radius result were also obtained. The results obtained include several known results as special cases.

In this work, a new family of distributions, which extends the Beta transmuted family, was obtained, called the Modified Beta Transmuted Family of distribution. This derived family has the Beta Family of Distribution and the Transmuted family of distribution as subfamilies. The Modified beta transmuted frechet, modified beta transmuted exponential, modified beta transmuted gompertz and modified beta transmuted lindley were obtained as special cases. The analytical expressions were studied for some statistical properties of the derived family of distribution which includes the moments, moments generating function and order statistics. The estimates of the parameters of the family were obtained using the maximum likelihood estimation method. Using the exponential distribution as a baseline for the family distribution, the resulting distribution (modified beta transmuted exponential distribution) was studied and its properties. The modified beta transmuted exponential distribution was applied to a real life time data to assess its flexibility in which the results shows a better fit when compared to some competitive models.

Combinatorics International audience We consider the family of rational functions ψw= ∏( xwi - xwi+1 )-1 indexed by words with no repetition. We study the combinatorics of the sums ΨP of the functions ψw when w describes the linear extensions of a given poset P. In particular, we point out the connexions between some transformations on posets and elementary operations on the fraction ΨP. We prove that the denominator of ΨP has a closed expression in terms of the Hasse diagram of P, and we compute its numerator in some special cases. We show that the computation of ΨP can be reduced to the case of bipartite posets. Finally, we compute the numerators associated to some special bipartite graphs as Schubert polynomials.

Throughout, the word knot means a subspace of the 3-sphere S3 homeomorphic with the 1-sphere S1. Any knot can be expressed as a connected sum of a finite number of prime knots in a unique way (13), we consider the trivial knot a non-prime knot. (For higher dimensional knots, factorization and uniqueness have been studied in (1).) However given a knot it is difficult to determine if it is prime or not. We prove that totally knotted knots, see definition in §2, are prime in theorem 1, give a class of examples in theorem 2 and investigate how the last result can be applied to the conjecture that the family Y of unknotting number one knots are prime. (See problem 2 in (5).) At the end, prime tangles as defined by W. B. R. Lickerish are used to prove that in a certain family of knots, related somewhat to Y, there is just one non-prime knot: the square knot. The paper should be interpreted as being in the piecewise linear category. Standard definitions of 3-manifolds and knot theory may be found in (6) and (11) respectively.

This chapter discusses Slothouber–Graatsma–Conway puzzle, which asks one to assemble six 1 × 2 × 2 pieces and three 1 × 1 × 1 pieces into the shape of a 3 × 3 × 3 cube. The puzzle has been generalized to larger cubes, and there is an infinite family of such puzzles. The chapter's primary argument is that, for any odd positive integer n = 2k + 1, there is exactly one way, up to symmetry, to make an n × n × n cube out of n tiny 1 × 1 × 1 cubes and six of each of a set of rectangular blocks. The chapter describes a way to solve each puzzle in the family and explains why there are no other solutions. It then presents several related open problems.

AbstractThis paper is an introduction to disoriented knot theory, which is a generalization of the oriented knot and link diagrams and an exposition of new ideas and constructions, including the basic definitions and concepts such as disoriented knot, disoriented crossing and Reidemesiter moves for disoriented diagrams, numerical invariants such as the linking number and the complete writhe, the polynomial invariants such as the bracket polynomial, the Jones polynomial for the disoriented knots and links.

We propose a two-parameter family of conjugate prior distributions for the number of undiscovered objects in a class of Bayesian search models. The family contains the one-parameter Euler and Heine families as special cases. The two parameters may be interpreted respectively as an overall success rate and a rate of depletion of the source of objects. The new family gives enhanced flexibility in modelling.

Mikusinski [1] has extended the operational calculus by methods which are essentially algebraic. He considers the family C of continuous complex valued functions on the half-line [0,∞). Under addition and convolution C becomes a commutative ring. Titchmarsh's theorem [2] shows that the ring has no divisors of zero and, hence, that it may be imbedded in its quotient field Q whose elements are then called operators. Included in the field are the integral, differential and translational operators of analysis as well as certain generalized functions, such as the Dirac delta function. An alternate approach [3] yields a rather interesting result which we shall now describe briefly.
