New bounds on the number of similar or directly similar copies of a pattern within a finite subset of the line or the plane are proved. The number of equilateral triangles whose vertices all lie within an $n$-point subset of the plane is shown to be no more than $\lfloor{(4 n-1)(n-1)/18}\rfloor$. The number of $k$-term arithmetic progressions that lie within an $n$-point subset of the line is shown to be at most $(n-r)(n+r-k+1)/(2 k-2)$, where $r$ is the remainder when $n$ is divided by $k-1$. This upper bound is achieved when the $n$ points themselves form an arithmetic progression, but for some values of $k$ and $n$, it can also be achieved for other configurations of the $n$ points, and a full classification of such optimal configurations is given. These results are achieved using a new general method based on ordering relations.

AbstractWe study the outer $$L^p$$ L p spaces introduced by Do and Thiele on sets endowed with a measure and an outer measure. We prove that, in the case of finite sets, for $$1< p \leqslant \infty , 1 \leqslant r < \infty $$ 1 < p ⩽ ∞ , 1 ⩽ r < ∞ or $$p=r \in \{ 1, \infty \}$$ p = r ∈ { 1 , ∞ } , the outer $$L^p_\mu (\ell ^r)$$ L μ p ( ℓ r ) quasi-norms are equivalent to norms up to multiplicative constants uniformly in the cardinality of the set. This is obtained by showing the expected duality properties between the corresponding outer $$L^p_\mu (\ell ^r)$$ L μ p ( ℓ r ) spaces uniformly in the cardinality of the set. Moreover, for $$p=1, 1 < r \leqslant \infty $$ p = 1 , 1 < r ⩽ ∞ , we exhibit a counterexample to the uniformity in the cardinality of the finite set. We also show that in the upper half space setting the desired properties hold true in the full range $$1 \leqslant p,r \leqslant \infty $$ 1 ⩽ p , r ⩽ ∞ . These results are obtained via greedy decompositions of functions in the outer $$L^p_\mu (\ell ^r)$$ L μ p ( ℓ r ) spaces. As a consequence, we establish the equivalence between the classical tent spaces $$T^p_r$$ T r p and the outer $$L^p_\mu (\ell ^r)$$ L μ p ( ℓ r ) spaces in the upper half space. Finally, we give a full classification of weak and strong type estimates for a class of embedding maps to the upper half space with a fractional scale factor for functions on $$\mathbb {R}^d$$ R d .

AbstractIn this paper, we continue the study of powerfully nilpotent groups. These are powerful p-groups possessing a central series of a special kind. To each such group, one can attach a powerful nilpotency class that leads naturally to the notion of a powerful coclass and classification in terms of an ancestry tree. In this paper, we will give a full classification of powerfully nilpotent groups of rank 2. The classification will then be used to arrive at a precise formula for the number of powerfully nilpotent groups of rank 2 and order {p^{n}}. We will also give a detailed analysis of the ancestry tree for these groups. The second part of the paper is then devoted to a full classification of powerfully nilpotent groups of order up to {p^{6}}.

AbstractEpilepsy is a persistent neurological disorder impacting over 50 million people around the world. It is characterized by repeated seizures defined as brief episodes of involuntary movement that might entail the human body. Electroencephalography (EEG) signals are usually used for the detection of epileptic seizures. This paper introduces a new feature extraction method for the classification of seizure and seizure-free EEG time segments. The proposed method relies on the empirical mode decomposition (EMD), statistics and autoregressive (AR) parameters. The EMD method decomposes an EEG time segment into a finite set of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) from which statistical coefficients and autoregressive parameters are computed. Nevertheless, the calculated features could be of high dimension as the number of IMFs increases, the Student’s t-test and the Mann–Whitney U test were thus employed for features ranking in order to withdraw lower significant features. The obtained features have been used for the classification of seizure and seizure-free EEG signals by the application of a feed-forward multilayer perceptron neural network (MLPNN) classifier. Experimental results carried out on the EEG database provided by the University of Bonn, Germany, demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method which performance assessed by the classification accuracy (CA) is compared to other existing performances reported in the literature.

This paper concerns the following question: given a subset [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] with empty interior and an integrability parameter [Formula: see text], what is the maximal regularity [Formula: see text] for which there exists a non-zero distribution in the Bessel potential Sobolev space [Formula: see text] that is supported in [Formula: see text]? For sets of zero Lebesgue measure, we apply well-known results on set capacities from potential theory to characterize the maximal regularity in terms of the Hausdorff dimension of [Formula: see text], sharpening previous results. Furthermore, we provide a full classification of all possible maximal regularities, as functions of [Formula: see text], together with the sets of values of [Formula: see text] for which the maximal regularity is attained, and construct concrete examples for each case. Regarding sets with positive measure, for which the maximal regularity is non-negative, we present new lower bounds on the maximal Sobolev regularity supported by certain fat Cantor sets, which we obtain both by capacity-theoretic arguments, and by direct estimation of the Sobolev norms of characteristic functions. We collect several results characterizing the regularity that can be achieved on certain special classes of sets, such as [Formula: see text]-sets, boundaries of open sets, and Cartesian products, of relevance for applications in differential and integral equations.

In this paper, we study natural paracontact magnetic trajectories in the unit tangent bundle, i.e., those that are associated to g-natural paracontact metric structures. We characterize slant natural paracontact magnetic trajectories as those satisfying a certain conservation law. Restricting to two-dimensional base manifolds of constant Gaussian curvature and to Kaluza–Klein type metrics on their unit tangent bundles, we give a full classification of natural paracontact slant magnetic trajectories (and geodesics).

The study of dihedral f-tilings of the Euclidean sphere $S^2$ by triangles and $r$-sided regular polygons was initiated in 2004 where the case $r=4$ was considered [5]. In a subsequent paper [1], the study of all spherical f-tilings by triangles and $r$-sided regular polygons, for any $r\ge 5$, was described. Later on, in [3], the classification of all f-tilings of $S^2$ whose prototiles are an equilateral triangle and an isosceles triangle is obtained. The algebraic and combinatorial description of spherical f-tilings by equilateral triangles and scalene triangles of angles $\beta$, $\gamma$ and $\delta$ $(\beta>\gamma>\delta)$ whose edge adjacency is performed by the side opposite to $\beta$ was done in [4]. In this paper we extend these results considering the edge adjacency performed by the side opposite to $\delta$.

Graph Theory International audience We study graphs G in which the maximum number of vertex-disjoint cycles nu(G) is close to the cyclomatic number mu(G), which is a natural upper bound for nu(G). Our main result is the existence of a finite set P(k) of graphs for all k is an element of N-0 such that every 2-connected graph G with mu(G)-nu(G) = k arises by applying a simple extension rule to a graph in P(k). As an algorithmic consequence we describe algorithms calculating minmu(G)-nu(G), k + 1 in linear time for fixed k.

If two particles collide near a rotating black hole, their energy in the centre of mass frame can become unbounded under certain conditions. In doing so, the Killing energy [Formula: see text] of debris at infinity is, in general, remain restricted. If [Formula: see text] is also unbounded, this is called the super-Penrose process. We elucidate when such a process is possible and give full classification of corresponding relativistic objects for rotating space-times. We also discuss the case of a pure electric super-Penrose process that is valid even in the flat space-time. The key role in consideration is played by the Wald inequalities.

In this paper, we study threefolds isogenous to a product of mixed type i.e. quotients of a product of three compact Riemann surfaces [Formula: see text] of genus at least two by the action of a finite group [Formula: see text], which is free, but not diagonal. In particular, we are interested in the systematic construction and classification of these varieties. Our main result is the full classification of threefolds isogenous to a product of mixed type with [Formula: see text] in the absolutely faithful case, i.e. any automorphism in [Formula: see text], which restricts to the trivial element in [Formula: see text] for some [Formula: see text], is the identity on the product. Since the holomorphic Euler–Poincaré-characteristic of a smooth threefold of general type with ample canonical class is always negative, these examples lie on the boundary, in the sense of threefold geography. To achieve our result we use techniques from computational group theory. Indeed, we develop a MAGMA algorithm to classify these threefolds for any given value of [Formula: see text] in the absolutely faithful case.
