  • THE COPULA INFORMATION CRITERIA 1. Introduction And
    Dept. of Math. University of Oslo Statistical Research Report No. 7 ISSN 0806{3842 June 2008 THE COPULA INFORMATION CRITERIA STEFFEN GRØNNEBERG AND NILS LID HJORT Abstract. When estimating parametric copula models by the semiparametric pseudo maximum likelihood procedure (MPLE), many practitioners have used the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) for model selection in spite of the fact that the AIC formula has no theoretical basis in this setting. We adapt the arguments leading to the original AIC formula in the fully parametric case to the MPLE. This gives a significantly different formula than the AIC, which we name the Copula Information Criterion (CIC). However, we also show that such a model-selection procedure cannot exist for a large class of commonly used copula models. We note that this research report is a revision of a research report dated June 2008. The current version encorporates corrections of the proof of Theorem 1. The conclusions of the previous manuscript are still valid, however. 1.

  • Dirichlet Character Difference Graphs 1
    DIRICHLET CHARACTER DIFFERENCE GRAPHS M. BUDDEN, N. CALKINS, W. N. HACK, J. LAMBERT and K. THOMPSON Abstract. We define Dirichlet character difference graphs and describe their basic properties, includ- ing the enumeration of triangles. In the case where the modulus is an odd prime, we exploit the spectral properties of such graphs in order to provide meaningful upper bounds for their diameter. 1. Introduction Upon one's first encounter with abstract algebra, a theorem which resonates throughout the theory is Cayley's theorem, which states that every finite group is isomorphic to a subgroup of some symmetric group. The significance of such a result comes from giving all finite groups a common ground by allowing one to focus on groups of permutations. It comes as no surprise that algebraic graph theorists chose the name Cayley graphs to describe graphs which depict groups. More formally, if G is a group and S is a subset of G closed under taking inverses and not containing the identity, then the Cayley graph, Cay(G; S), is defined to be the graph with vertex set G and an edge occurring between the vertices g and h if hg−1 2 S [9]. Some of the first examples of JJ J I II Cayley graphs that are usually encountered include the class of circulant graphs. A circulant graph, denoted by Circ(m; S), uses Z=mZ as the group for a Cayley graph and the generating set S is Go back m chosen amongst the integers in the set f1; 2; · · · b 2 cg [2].

Introducing the mini-DML project Thierry Bouche Université Joseph Fourier (Grenoble) WDML workshop Stockholm June 27th 2004 Introduction At the Göttingen meeting of the Digital mathematical library project (DML), in May 2004, the issue was raised that discovery and seamless access to the available digitised litterature was still a task to be acomplished. The ambitious project of a comprehen- sive registry of all ongoing digitisation activities in the field of mathematical research litterature was agreed upon, as well as the further investigation of many linking op- tions to ease user’s life. However, given the scope of those projects, their benefits can’t be expected too soon. Between the hope of a comprehensive DML with many eYcient entry points and the actual dissemination of heterogeneous partial lists of available material, there is a path towards multiple distributed databases allowing integrated search, metadata exchange and powerful interlinking.

Example: Bertrand's Paradox We begin with an example [this is known as Bertrand's paradox]. Joseph Louis Fran¸cois Question 1.1. Consider a circle of radius 1, and an equilateral triangle bounded in the Bertrand (1822{1900) circle, say ABC. (The side length of such a triangle is p3.) Let M be a randomly chosen chord in the circle. What is the probability that the length of M is greater than the length of a side of the triangle (i.e. p3)? Solution 1. How to chose a random chord M? One way is to choose a random angle, let r be the radius at that angle, and let M be the unique chord perpendicular to r. Let x be the intersection point of M with r. (See Figure 1, left.) Because of symmetry, we can rotate the triangle so that the chord AB is perpendicular to r. Since the sides of the triangle intersect the perpendicular radii at distance 1=2 from 0, M is longer than AB if and only if x is at distance at most 1=2 from 0.

    #A48 INTEGERS 11 (2011) ENUMERATION OF TRIANGLES IN QUARTIC RESIDUE GRAPHS Mark Budden Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Western Carolina University, Cullowhee, NC [email protected] Nicole Calkins Department of Mathematics, Armstrong Atlantic State University, Savannah, GA [email protected] William Nathan Hack Department of Mathematics, Armstrong Atlantic State University, Savannah, GA [email protected] Joshua Lambert Department of Mathematics, Armstrong Atlantic State University, Savannah, GA [email protected] Kimberly Thompson Department of Mathematics, Armstrong Atlantic State University, Savannah, GA [email protected] Received: 10/10/10, Accepted: 7/19/11, Published: 9/13/11 Abstract For a fixed prime p 1 (mod 4), we define the corresponding quartic residue graph and determine the n≡umber of triangles contained in such a graph. Our computation requires us to compute the number of pairs of consecutive quartic residues modulo p via the evaluation of certain quartic Jacobi sums. 1. Introduction Although Raymond Paley’s life passed by quickly, his impact resonated across mul- tiple mathematical disciplines such as complex analysis, combinatorics, number theory, and harmonic analysis [2, 8, 9, 10]. Perhaps one of Paley’s most notable contributions occurred when he brought the fields of combinatorics and number theory even closer together. One such mathematical achievement came about in INTEGERS: 11 (2011) 2 1933, when Paley [8] used the quadratic residues of the field with prime order p 3 ≡ (mod 4) to construct Hadamard matrices of order p + 1. While Paley passed away that same year, his results spurred a great deal of interest. One person that took notice of Paley’s achievements was Horst Sachs [12].

Vi lever alle uvanlige liv for tiden. Mennesket er jo et sosialt vesen – og sosiale medier ivaretar bare en flik av det. Jeg har i lengre tid hatt barn som studenter i utlandet – og når vi samles om sommeren på hytta har vi et begrep ‘beyond Skype’ – det betyr en god bamse-klem. Det er behov for gode klemmer – og den tid kommer tilbake. Vi føler vel alle savnet av familie-medlemmer, jobb-kolleger og venner – samt for egen del, savnet av en Kreta-tur i mai. Jeg har, som gammel ‘low-tech’ professor, blitt påtvunget digitalt basert undervisning – og føler meg ikke trygg på at studentene er begeistret. Personlig ser jeg frem til normale undervisnings-tilstander. Statistikken i coronaens tid – lever faktisk i beste velgående. ‘Usikkerhet’ er vel det mest brukte ordet i samfunns-debatten siste måned.

  • Quantum Algorithms for Weighing Matrices and Quadratic Residues
    Quantum Algorithms for Weighing Matrices and Quadratic Residues Wim van Dam∗ UC Berkeley [email protected] August 29, 2018 Abstract In this article we investigate how we can employ the structure of com- binatorial objects like Hadamard matrices and weighing matrices to device new quantum algorithms. We show how the properties of a weighing ma- trix can be used to construct a problem for which the quantum query complexity is significantly lower than the classical one. It is pointed out that this scheme captures both Bernstein & Vazirani’s inner-product pro- tocol, as well as Grover’s search algorithm. In the second part of the article we consider Paley’s construction of Hadamard matrices, which relies on the properties of quadratic characters over finite fields. We design a query problem that uses the Legendre symbol χ (which indicates if an element of a finite field Fq is a quadratic residue or not). It is shown how for a shifted Legendre function fs(i) = χ(i + s), the unknown s ∈ Fq can be obtained exactly with only two quantum calls to fs. This is in sharp contrast with the observation that 1−ε any classical, probabilistic procedure requires more than log q + log( 2 ) queries to solve the same problem. arXiv:quant-ph/0008059v3 19 Mar 2001 1 Introduction The theory of quantum computation investigates how we can use quantum me- chanical effects to solve computational problems more efficiently than we can by classical means. So far, the strongest evidence that there is indeed a real and significant difference between quantum and classical computation is provided by Peter Shor’s polynomial-time factoring algorithm[31].

C & Facing a similar situation, the mathematicians of the end of 19th century choosed to build lists of important published resources. mini-DML – Valentin’s famous lost catalogue (1885-1910) – The Répertoire bibliographique des sciences mathématiques (1894-1912, covering 19th century) – The Jahrbuch über die Fortschritte der Mathematik (1868-1944) WDML — Stockholm — June 27th, 2004 — 4 And later : – Zentralblatt-Math (1931- ) – Mathematical reviewsmini-DML(1940- ) Except in the (conjectural) first case, these lists are non-comprehensive and require an important intellectual input (choice, classification, review).
