    Evolution of Bulk Scale Factor in Warped Space-time

    Full text link
    In this work the role of extra dimensions in the accelerated universe through the scenario of higher-dimensional Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) cosmology has been studied. For this purpose, we first consider warped space-time in the standard flat brane scenario as the modified form of Robertson-Walker (RW) metric in five-dimension (5D) space-time and then the variation of the bulk scale factor (warp factor), with respect to both space-like and time-like extra dimensions is obtained. Finally, it is shown that both of two types of extra dimensions are important in this scenario and also the bulk scale factor plays two different roles.Comment: This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to text overlap with arXiv:0710.3790 by other author

    LMMSE Estimation and Interpolation of Continuous-Time Signals from Discrete-Time Samples Using Factor Graphs

    Full text link
    The factor graph approach to discrete-time linear Gaussian state space models is well developed. The paper extends this approach to continuous-time linear systems/filters that are driven by white Gaussian noise. By Gaussian message passing, we then obtain MAP/MMSE/LMMSE estimates of the input signal, or of the state, or of the output signal from noisy observations of the output signal. These estimates may be obtained with arbitrary temporal resolution. The proposed input signal estimation does not seem to have appeared in the prior Kalman filtering literature

    Capital investments in the context of time factor

    Get PDF
    The market economy creates various variants that an investor or another should know very well, should analyze them and choose the variant of investment which is the closes to its purposes. Such a variant of investments is the one that may materialize in certain manufacturing capacities, case in which the gain of the investor turns into profit; on this plan, we may assert that gaining much profit is the final purpose pursued by any investor in such a variant of capital placement. On the other side, we also must emphasize that profit is earned in time, and the time factor, on its turn, should be known, analyzed, localized and, certainly, quantified, so that the investment decision should not be empirical, but substantiated. This paper proposes to focus on few of the most important aspects of the impact of time factor on the capital investments, generally, and on their economic efficiency, particularly.profit, final profit, efficient period, functioning period, recovery period

    Conformal Symmetry and Pion Form Factor: Space- and Time-like Region

    Full text link
    We extend a recent analysis of the pion electromagnetic form factor constrained by the conformal symmetry to explore the time-like region. We show explicitly that the time-like form factor obtained by the analytic continuation of the space-like form factor correctly satisfies the dispersion relation. Our results indicate that the quark spin and dynamical mass effects are crucial to yield the realistic features of the vector meson dominance phenomena.Comment: 8pages, 6figures, changed sentences regarding on the soft-wall AdS/QCD predictions, added reference

    Time-domain scars: resolving the spectral form factor in phase space

    Full text link
    We study the relationship of the spectral form factor with quantum as well as classical probabilities to return. Defining a quantum return probability in phase space as a trace over the propagator of the Wigner function allows us to identify and resolve manifolds in phase space that contribute to the form factor. They can be associated to classical invariant manifolds such as periodic orbits, but also to non-classical structures like sets of midpoints between periodic points. By contrast to scars in wavefunctions, these features are not subject to the uncertainty relation and therefore need not show any smearing. They constitute important exceptions from a continuous convergence in the classical limit of the Wigner towards the Liouville propagator. We support our theory with numerical results for the quantum cat map and the harmonically driven quartic oscillator.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figure

    Approximating Edit Distance Within Constant Factor in Truly Sub-Quadratic Time

    Full text link
    Edit distance is a measure of similarity of two strings based on the minimum number of character insertions, deletions, and substitutions required to transform one string into the other. The edit distance can be computed exactly using a dynamic programming algorithm that runs in quadratic time. Andoni, Krauthgamer and Onak (2010) gave a nearly linear time algorithm that approximates edit distance within approximation factor poly(logn)\text{poly}(\log n). In this paper, we provide an algorithm with running time O~(n22/7)\tilde{O}(n^{2-2/7}) that approximates the edit distance within a constant factor
