Combinatorics International audience Block-transitive Steiner t-designs form a central part of the study of highly symmetric combinatorial configurations at the interface of several disciplines, including group theory, geometry, combinatorics, coding and information theory, and cryptography. The main result of the paper settles an important open question: There exist no non-trivial examples with t = 7 (or larger). The proof is based on the classification of the finite 3-homogeneous permutation groups, itself relying on the finite simple group classification.

The classification of the finite simple groups has had far-reaching consequences for many branches of algebra. This paper is a discussion of several problems about primitive permutation groups which have been solved using the simple group classification.

A brief historical sketch of the classification of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivars is presented along with reference to key reviews on this subject. Characters, utilized in the comprehensive study on the barley cultivars of North America by Aberg and Wiebe (U.S. Department of Agriculture Technical Bulletin 942), were subjected to a series of phenetic character analyses using an information theory model and a spatial autocorrelation model. The ranking of the 48 characters in order of their importance (for classification and identification purposes) from the character analysis by information theory was compared with the previous rating of characters made by Aberg and Wiebe and was found to differ significantly. Numerous trials of character analysis by spatial autocorrelation using various Minkowski distances, setting various values among three parameters, never yielded results comparable with those obtained by Aberg and Wiebe. Among those trials, a few combinations of values for the three parameters (X, Y, and Z) yielded results comparable with those obtained with character analysis by information theory. Those same combinations of values were found by Estabrook and Gates (Taxon, 33: 13–25) in their study of Banisteriopsis in 1984, where they also developed the method of character analysis by spatial autocorrelation. Kernel weight was found to be the most important character.

We carry out group classification of a general bond-option pricing equation. We show that the equation admits a three-dimensional equivalence Lie algebra. We also show that some of the values of the constants which result from group classification give us well-known models in mathematics of finance such as Black-Scholes, Vasicek, and Cox-Ingersoll-Ross. For all such values of these arbitrary constants we obtain Lie point symmetries. Symmetry reductions are then obtained and group invariant solutions are constructed for some cases.

The article presents an extended classification of pathology management system. The scale for assessing the level of pathological management is shown. The question of the interpretation of the results of assessing the level of pathological management is considered. The construction of pathological Profile Management is proposed to visually determine which diseases are pronounced. The results of studies of more than 300 domestic and foreign companies showed the most common pathologies of management in the practice, as well as the most pathological and without pathological organizations. It remains an open question about the reference values of pathological management, as well as the definition of the indicator and integrated approaches to the interpretation of quantifying.

International audience In this paper we study finite Eulerian posets which are binomial or Sheffer. These important classes of posets are related to the theory of generating functions and to geometry. The results of this paper are organized as follows: (1) We completely determine the structure of Eulerian binomial posets and, as a conclusion, we are able to classify factorial functions of Eulerian binomial posets; (2) We give an almost complete classification of factorial functions of Eulerian Sheffer posets by dividing the original question into several cases; (3) In most cases above, we completely determine the structure of Eulerian Sheffer posets, a result stronger than just classifying factorial functions of these Eulerian Sheffer posets. We also study Eulerian triangular posets. This paper answers questions posed by R. Ehrenborg and M. Readdy. This research is also motivated by the work of R. Stanley about recognizing the \emphboolean lattice by looking at smaller intervals. Nous étudions les ensembles partiellement ordonnés finis (EPO) qui sont soit binomiaux soit de type Sheffer (deux notions reliées aux séries génératrices et à la géométrie). Nos résultats sont les suivants: (1) nous déterminons la structure des EPO Euleriens et binomiaux; nous classifions ainsi les fonctions factorielles de tous ces EPO; (2) nous donnons une classification presque complète des fonctions factorielles des EPO Euleriens de type Sheffer; (3) dans la plupart de ces cas, nous déterminons complètement la structure des EPO Euleriens et Sheffer, ce qui est plus fort que classifier leurs fonctions factorielles. Nous étudions aussi les EPO Euleriens triangulaires. Cet article répond à des questions de R. Ehrenborg and M. Readdy. Il est aussi motivé par le travail de R. Stanley sur la reconnaissance du treillis booléen via l'étude des petits intervalles.

The study concerning the classification of the fuzzy subgroups of finite groups is a significant aspect of fuzzy group theory. In early papers, the number of distinct fuzzy subgroups of some nonabelian groups is calculated by the natural equivalence relation. In this paper, we treat to classifying fuzzy subgroups of some groups by a new equivalence relation which has a consistent group theoretical foundation. In fact, we determine exact number of fuzzy subgroups of finite non-abelian groups of order p3 and special classes of dihedral groups.

<span>In this study, a new Artificial Intelligence technique for non-linear mapping called Abductive Networks is used for two-group classification of firms. The results are compared with Neural Networks, another AI technique, which has been shown to perform better than the traditional statistical techniques such as multivariate discriminant analysis and logit. In empirical tests, Abductive Networks perform as well or better than Neural Networks on various criteria of measurement such as Type 1 / Type II accuracy criteria and Distance Between Centroids.</span>
