Algebraic lattice constellations: bounds on performance

In this work, we give a bound on performance of any full-diversity lattice constellation constructed from algebraic number fields. We show that most of the already available constructions are almost optimal in the sense that any further improvement of the minimum product distance would lead to a negligible coding gain. Furthermore, we discuss constructions, minimum product distance, and bounds for full-diversity complex rotated Z[i]/sup n/-lattices for any dimension n, which avoid the need of component interleaving

A note on the convergence of parametrised non-resonant invariant manifolds

Truncated Taylor series representations of invariant manifolds are abundant in numerical computations. We present an aposteriori method to compute the convergence radii and error estimates of analytic parametrisations of non-resonant local invariant manifolds of a saddle of an analytic vector field, from such a truncated series. This enables us to obtain local enclosures, as well as existence results, for the invariant manifolds

$p+^{4,6,8}He elastic scattering at intermediate energies

Using a relativistic nuclear optical potential consisting of a Lorentz scalar, $V_{s}$, and the time-like component of a four-vector potential, $V_{0}$, we calculate elastic scattering differential cross sections and polarizations for $p+^{4}$He at intermediate energies for which experimental data are available. We also calculate the differential cross sections and analyzing powers for $p+^{6,8}$He at intermediate energies and compare with the few available experimental data.Comment: 09 pages, 04 figure

A unified view of some representations of imprecise probabilities

International audienceSeveral methods for the practical representation of imprecise probabilities exist such as Ferson's p-boxes, possibility distributions, Neumaier's clouds, and random sets . In this paper some relationships existing between the four kinds of representations are discussed. A cloud as well as a p-box can be modelled as a pair of possibility distributions. We show that a generalized form of p-box is a special kind of belief function and also a special kind of cloud

The Weyl bundle as a differentiable manifold

Construction of an infinite dimensional differentiable manifold ${\mathbb R}^{\infty}$ not modelled on any Banach space is proposed. Definition, metric and differential structures of a Weyl algebra and a Weyl algebra bundle are presented. Continuity of the $\circ$-product in the Tichonov topology is proved. Construction of the $*$-product of the Fedosov type in terms of theory of connection in a fibre bundle is explained.Comment: 31 pages; revised version - some typoes have been eliminated, notation has been simplifie
