Two recent papers by Petruccelli and Woolford (1984) and Chan et al. (1985) showed that the key element governing ergodicity of a threshold AR(1) model is the joint behavior of the two linear AR(1) pieces falling in the two boundary threshold regimes. They used essentially the necessary and sufficient conditions for ergodicity of a general Markov chain of Tweedie (1974), (1975) in a rather clever manner. However, it is difficult to extend the results to the more general threshold ARMA models. Besides, irreducibility is also required to apply Tweedie's results. In this paper, instead of pursuing the ideas in Tweedie's results, we shall develop a criterion similar in spirit to the technique used by Beneš (1967) in the context of continuous-time Markov chains. Consequently, we derive a necessary and sufficient condition for existence of a strictly stationary solution of a general non-linear ARMA model to be introduced in Section 2 of this paper. This condition is then applied to the threshold ARMA(1, q) model to yield a sufficient condition for strict stationarity which is identical to the condition given by Petruccelli and Woolford (1984) for the threshold AR(1). Hence, the conjecture that the moving average component does not affect stationarity is partially verified. Furthermore, under an additional irreducibility assumption, ergodicity of a non-linear ARMA model is established. The paper then concludes with a necessary condition for stationarity of the threshold ARMA(1, q) model.

Abstract The Horodecki criterion provides a necessary and sufficient condition for a two-qubit state to be able to manifest Bell nonlocality via violation of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality. It requires, however, the assumption that suitable projective measurements can be made on each qubit, and is not sufficient for scenarios in which noisy or weak measurements are either desirable or unavoidable. By characterising two-valued qubit observables in terms of strength, bias, and directional parameters, we address such scenarios by providing necessary and sufficient conditions for arbitrary qubit measurements having fixed strengths and relative angles for each observer. In particular, we find the achievable maximal values of the CHSH parameter for unbiased measurements on arbitrary states, and, alternatively, for arbitrary measurements on states with maximally-mixed marginals, and determine the optimal angles in some cases. We also show that for certain ranges of measurement strengths it is only possible to violate the CHSH inequality via biased measurements. Finally, we use the CHSH inequality to obtain a simple necessary condition for the compatibility of two qubit observables.

Abstract Let ({\mathrm{\Gamma}},\le ) be a strictly ordered monoid, and let {{\mathrm{\Gamma}}}^{\ast }\left={\mathrm{\Gamma}}\backslash \{0\} . Let D\subseteq E be an extension of commutative rings with identity, and let I be a nonzero proper ideal of D. Set \begin{array}{l}D+[\kern-2pt[ {E}^{{{\mathrm{\Gamma}}}^{\ast },\le }]\kern-2pt] := \left\{f\in [\kern-2pt[ {E}^{{\mathrm{\Gamma}},\le }]\kern-2pt] \hspace{0.15em}|\hspace{0.2em}f(0)\in D\right\}\hspace{.5em}\text{and}\\ \hspace{0.2em}D+[\kern-2pt[ {I}^{{\Gamma }^{\ast },\le }]\kern-2pt] := \left\{f\in [\kern-2pt[ {D}^{{\mathrm{\Gamma}},\le }]\kern-2pt] \hspace{0.15em}|\hspace{0.2em}f(\alpha )\in I,\hspace{.5em}\text{for}\hspace{.25em}\text{all}\hspace{.5em}\alpha \in {{\mathrm{\Gamma}}}^{\ast }\right\}.\end{array} In this paper, we give necessary conditions for the rings D+[\kern-2pt[ {E}^{{{\mathrm{\Gamma}}}^{\ast },\le }]\kern-2pt] to be Noetherian when ({\mathrm{\Gamma}},\le ) is positively ordered, and sufficient conditions for the rings D+[\kern-2pt[ {E}^{{{\mathrm{\Gamma}}}^{\ast },\le }]\kern-2pt] to be Noetherian when ({\mathrm{\Gamma}},\le ) is positively totally ordered. Moreover, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the ring D+[\kern-2pt[ {I}^{{\Gamma }^{\ast },\le }]\kern-2pt] to be Noetherian when ({\mathrm{\Gamma}},\le ) is positively totally ordered. As corollaries, we give equivalent conditions for the rings D+({X}_{1},\ldots ,{X}_{n})E{[}{X}_{1},\ldots ,{X}_{n}] and D+({X}_{1},\ldots ,{X}_{n})I{[}{X}_{1},\ldots ,{X}_{n}] to be Noetherian.

The paper deals with learning in the limit from positive data. After an introduction and overview of earlier results, we strengthen a result of Sato and Umayahara (1991) by establishing a necessary and sufficient condition for the satisfaction of Angluin's (1980) finite tell-tale condition. Our other two results show that two notions introduced here, the finite net property and the weak finite net property, lead to sufficient conditions for learning in the limit from positive data. Examples not solvable by earlier methods are also given.

We study the separability of bipartite quantum systems in arbitrary dimensions using the Bloch representation of their density matrix. This approach enables us to find an alternative characterization of the separability problem, from which we derive a necessary condition and sufficient conditions for separability. For a certain class of states the necessary condition and a sufficient condition turn out to be equivalent, therefore yielding a necessary and sufficient condition. The proofs of the sufficient conditions are constructive, thus providing decompositions in pure product states for the states that satisfy them. We provide examples that show the ability of these conditions to detect entanglement. In particular, the necessary condition is proved to be strong enough to detect bound entangled states.

The centre of mass G of a triangle has the property that the rays to the vertices from G sweep out triangles having equal areas. We show that such points, termed equipartitioning points in this paper, need not exist in other polygons. A necessary and sufficient condition for a quadrilateral to have an equipartitioning point is that one of its diagonals bisects the other. The general theorem, namely, necessary and sufficient conditions for equipartitioning points for arbitrary polygons to exist, is also stated and proved. When this happens, they are in general, distinct from the centre of mass. In parallelograms, and only in them, do the two points coincide.

This script was aimed to determine the necessary conditions for boundedness of Riesz potential in the classical Morrey space. If these results are combined with previous research results will be obtained the necessary and sufficient condition for boundedness of Riesz potential. This necessary condition is obtained through the use of characteristic function as one member of the classical Morrey space.

This paper addresses a decision problem highlighted by Grigorchuk, Nekrashevich, and Sushchanskiĭ, namely the finiteness problem for automaton (semi)groups. For semigroups, we give an effective sufficient but not necessary condition for finiteness and, for groups, an effective necessary but not sufficient condition. The efficiency of the new criteria is demonstrated by testing all Mealy automata with small stateset and alphabet. Finally, for groups, we provide a necessary and sufficient condition that does not directly lead to a decision procedure.

This paper investigates the clustering problem for the generalized signed networks. By rigorous derivations, a sufficient and necessary condition for clustering of the nodes in generalized signed networks is proposed in this paper. In order to obtain this condition, the concept of friends group is first introduced for the nodes based on their links’ sign. Then, the unprivileged network is also defined in this paper by employing the concepts of structural hole and broker. Compared with the existing clustering algorithms, the outstanding advantage in this paper is that only the positive or negative (especially, or zero) sign of the links is required regardless of their density or sparsity. We have proved mathematically that a generalized signed network is classifiable if and only if it is an unprivileged network. Finally, two examples associated with numerical simulations are proposed to generate the unprivileged networks.

A graph G is said to possess a perfect matching if there is a subgraph of G consisting of disjoint edges which together cover all the vertices of G. Clearly G must then have an even number of vertices. A necessary and sufficient condition for G to possess a perfect matching was obtained by Tutte (3). If S is any set of vertices of G, let p(S) denote the number of components of the graph G – S with an odd number of vertices. Then the conditionis both necessary and sufficient for the existence of a perfect matching. A simple proof of this result is given in (1).
