The problem of determining the conditions under which a finite set of matrices A1A2, … , Ak has the property that their characteristic roots λ1j, λ2j, … , λki (j = 1, 2, …, n) may be so ordered that every polynomial f(A1A2 … , Ak) in these matrices has characteristic roots f(λ1j, λ2j …,λki) (j = 1, 2, … , n) was first considered by Frobenius [4]. He showed that a sufficient condition for the (Ai〉 to have this property is that they be commutative. It may be shown by an example that this condition is not necessary.J. Williamson [9] considered this problem for two matrices under the restriction that one of them be non-derogatory. He then showed that a necessary and sufficient condition that these two matrices have the above property is that they satisfy a certain finite set of matric equations.

AbstractThe problem of linear independence of the integer translates of μ * B, where μ is a compactly supported distribution and B is an exponential box spline, is considered in this paper. The main result relates the linear independence issue with the distribution of the zeros of the Fourier-Laplace transform, of μ on certain linear manifolds associated with B. The proof of our result makes an essential use of the necessary and sufficient condition derived in [12]. Several applications to specific situations are discussed. Particularly, it is shown that if the support of μ is small enough then linear independence is guaranteed provided that does not vanish at a certain finite set of critical points associated with B. Also, the results here provide a new proof of the linear independence condition for the translates of B itself.

A directed graph is also called as a quiver  where  is a finite set of vertices,  is a set of arrows, and  are two maps from  to . A representation  of a quiver  is an assignment of a vector space  to each vertex  of  and a linear mapping  to each arrow.  We denote by  the direct sum of representasions  and  of a quiver  . A representation  is called indecomposable if  is not ishomorphic to a direct sum of non-zero representations. This paper study about the properties of indecomposable representations. These properties will be used to investigate the necessary and sufficient condition of indecomposable representations.

In this paper, we provide the necessary and sufficient condition for a Choquet integral model to be decomposable into a canonical hierarchical Choquet integral model constructed by hierarchical combinations of some ordinary Choquet integral models. This condition is characterized by the pre-Znclusion-Exclusion Covering (pre-IEC). Moreover, we show that the pre-IEC is the subdivision of an IEC and that the additive hierarchical structure is the most fundamental one on considering a hierarchical decomposition of the Choquet integral model.

AbstractLet be a finite set of finite tournaments. We will give a necessary and sufficient condition for the -free homogeneous directed graph to be divisible. That is, that there is a partition of into two classes such that neither of them contains an isomorphic copy of .

The proof that a necessary and sufficient condition for a connected block design to be balanced is all the non-zero characteristic roots of the C-matrix of the design are equal requires spectral decomposition of C-matrix. Rao (1958). In this note another proof of the same result is obtained without using spectral decomposition.

We present a duality theorem. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for any set of algebraic relations to entail the set of all algebraic relations in Davey and Werner's sense. The main result of the paper states that for a finite algebra a finite set of algebraic relations yields a duality if and only if the set of all algebraic relations can be obtained from it by using four types of relational constructs. Finally, we prove that a finite algebra admits a natural duality if and only if the algebra has a near unanimity term operation, provided that the algebra possesses certain 2k-ary term operations for some k. This is a generalisation of a theorem of Davey, Heindorf and McKenzie.

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.

The Kantian account of political authority holds that the state is a necessary and sufficient condition of our freedom. We cannot be free outside the state, Kantians argue, because any attempt to have the “acquired rights” necessary for our freedom implicates us in objectionable relations of dependence on private judgment. Only in the state can this problem be overcome. But it is not clear how mere institutions could make the necessary difference, and contemporary Kantians have not offered compelling explanations. A detailed analysis is presented of the problems Kantians identify with the state of nature and the objections they face in claiming that the state overcomes them. A response is sketched on behalf of Kantians. The key idea is that under state institutions, a person can make claims of acquired right without presupposing that she is by nature exceptional in her capacity to bind others.
