A class of generalized definitions of expectation value is often employed in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics for complex systems. Here, the necessary and sufficient condition is presented for such a class to be stable under small deformations of a given arbitrary probability distribution.

Information geometry is the study of the intrinsic geometric properties of manifolds consisting of a probability distribution and provides a deeper understanding of statistical inference. Based on this discipline, this letter reports on the influence of the signal processing on the geometric structure of the statistical manifold in terms of estimation issues. This letter defines the intrinsic parameter submanifold, which reflects the essential geometric characteristics of the estimation issues. Moreover, the intrinsic parameter submanifold is proven to be a tighter one after signal processing. In addition, the necessary and sufficient condition of invariant signal processing of the geometric structure, i.e., isometric signal processing, is given. Specifically, considering the processing with the linear form, the construction method of linear isometric signal processing is proposed, and its properties are presented in this letter.

In the last few years one realized that if the state of a bipartite system can be written as ∑i,j pij|ai〉〈ai| ⊗ |bj〉〈bj|, where {|ai〉} and {|bj〉} form orthonormal basis for the subsystems and {pij} is a probability distribution, then it possesses at most classical correlations. In this article we introduce a nonlinear witness providing a sufficient condition for classicality of correlations (absence of quantum discord) in a broad class of two-qubit systems. Such witness turns out to be necessary and sufficient condition in the case of Bell-diagonal states. We show that the witness introduced here can be readily experimentally implemented in nuclear magnetic resonance setups.

We analyze the solution to the linear stochastic heat equation driven by a multiparameter Hermite process of order [Formula: see text]. This solution is an element of the [Formula: see text]th Wiener chaos. We discuss various properties of the solution, such as the necessary and sufficient condition for its existence, self-similarity, [Formula: see text]-variation and regularity of its sample paths. We will also focus on the probability distribution of the solution, which is non-Gaussian when [Formula: see text].

Erdős posed the problem of how many random subsets need to be chosen from a set of $n$ elements, each element appearing in each subset with probability $p=1/2$, in order that at least one subset is contained in another. Rényi answered this question, but could not determine the limiting probability distribution for the number of subset counts because the higher moments diverge to infinity. The model considered by Rényi with $p$ arbitrary is denoted by ${\cal P}(m,n,p)$, where $m$ is the number of random subsets chosen. We give a necessary and sufficient condition on $p(n)$ and $m(n)$ for subset counts to be asymptotically Poisson and find rates of convergence using Stein's method. We discuss how Poisson limits can be shown for other statistics of ${\cal P}(m,n,p)$.

This paper introduces an auditor reliability framework that repositions the role of auditor independence in the accounting profession. The framework is motivated in part by widespread confusion about independence and the auditing profession's continuing problems with managing independence and inspiring public confidence. We use philosophical, theoretical, and professional arguments to argue that the public interest will be best served by reprioritizing professional and ethical objectives to establish reliability in fact and appearance as the cornerstone of the profession, rather than relationship-based independence in fact and appearance. This revised framework requires three foundation elements to control subjectivity in auditors' judgments and decisions: independence, integrity, and expertise. Each element is a necessary but not sufficient condition for maximizing objectivity. Objectivity, in turn, is a necessary and sufficient condition for achieving and maintaining reliability in fact and appearance.
