Some cubic birth and death processes and their related orthogonal polynomials
The orthogonal polynomials with recurrence relation (\la\_n+\mu\_n-z)
F\_n(z)=\mu\_{n+1} F\_{n+1}(z)+\la\_{n-1} F\_{n-1}(z) with two kinds of cubic
transition rates \la\_n and corresponding to indeterminate
Stieltjes moment problems, are analyzed. We derive generating functions for
these two classes of polynomials, which enable us to compute their Nevanlinna
matrices. We discuss the asymptotics of the Nevanlinna matrices in the complex
plane.Comment: latex2e, 17 page
Difference-differential operators for basic adaptive discretizations and their central function systems
The concept of inherited orthogonality is motivated and an optimality statement for it is derived. Basic adaptive discretizations are introduced. Various properties of difference operators which are directly related to basic adaptive discretizations are looked at. A Lie-algebraic concept for obtaining basic adaptive discretizations is explored. Some of the underlying moment problems of basic difference equations are investigated in greater detail
Differential representations of dynamical oscillator symmetries in discrete Hilbert space
As a very important example for dynamical symmetries in the context of q-generalized quantum mechanics the algebra aa†−q−2a†a=1 is investigated. It represents the oscillator symmetry SUq(1,1) and is regarded as a commutation phenomenon of the q-Heisenberg algebra which provides a discrete spectrum of momentum and space, i.e., a discrete Hilbert space structure. Generalized q-Hermite functions and systems of creation and annihilation operators are derived. The classical limit q→1 is investigated. Finally the SUq(1,1) algebra is represented by the dynamical variables of the q-Heisenberg algebra

Comparing algebraic and numerical solutions of classical diffusion process equations in computational financial mathematics
We revise the interrelations between the classical Black Scholes equation, the diffusion equation and Burgers equation. Some of the algebraic properties the diffusion equation shows are elaborated and qualitatively presented. The related numerical elementary recipes are briefly elucidated in context of the diffusion equation. The quality of the approximations to the exact solutions is compared throughout the visualizations. The article mainly is based on the pedagogical style of the presentations to the Novacella Easter School 2000 on Financial Mathematics
String Branchings on Complex Tori and Algebraic Representations of Generalized Krichever-Novikov Algebras
The propagation differential for bosonic strings on a complex torus with
three symmetric punctures is investigated. We study deformation aspects between
two point and three point differentials as well as the behaviour of the
corresponding Krichever-Novikov algebras. The structure constants are
calculated and from this we derive a central extension of the Krichever-Novikov
algebras by means of b-c systems. The defining cocycle for this central
extension deforms to the well known Virasoro cocycle for certain kinds of
degenerations of the torus.

Repeatable Oblivious Shuffling of Large Outsourced Data Blocks
As data outsourcing becomes popular, oblivious algorithms have raised extensive attentions since their control flow and data access pattern appear to be independent of the input data they compute on and thus are especially suitable for secure processing in outsourced environments. In this work, we focus on oblivious shuffling algorithms that aim to shuffle encrypted data blocks outsourced to the cloud server without disclosing the permutation of blocks to the server. Existing oblivious shuffling algorithms suffer from issues of heavy communication and client computation costs when blocks have a large size because all outsourced blocks must be downloaded to the client for shuffling or peeling off extra encryption layers. To help eliminate this void, we introduce the ``repeatable oblivious shuffling\u27\u27 notation that restricts the communication and client computation costs to be independent of the block size. We present an efficient construction of repeatable oblivious shuffling using additively homomorphic encryption schemes. The comprehensive evaluation of our construction shows its effective usability in practice for shuffling large-sized blocks
Legitimacy intermediation in the multilevel European polity and its collapse in the euro crisis
This essay re-examines the dual – republican and liberal – foundations of democratic legitimacy in the Western traditions of normative political theory. Considered in isolation, the European Union conforms to liberal standards but cannot satisfy republican criteria. Given these conflicting standards, debates on the alleged European democratic deficit have remained inconclusive. Moreover, they have failed to pay sufficient attention to the multilevel character of the European polity and to the normative potential of legitimacy intermediation in its two-step compliance and legitimating relationships. I argue, however, that the capacity of democratic member states to legitimate the exercise of European governing functions is being destroyed in the present euro crisis, and I briefly discuss the implications of this new constellation.In der westlichen Tradition der normativen politischen Theorie beruht demokratische Legitimität auf der doppelten Grundlage republikanischer und liberaler Prinzipien. Für sich betrachtet entspricht die Europäische Union zwar liberalen Kriterien, aber eben nicht den republikanischen Anforderungen. Angesichts so unterschiedlicher Kriterien konnte es auch im Streit über das angebliche europäische Demokratiedefizit keine Einigung geben. Überdies ignorierte diese Diskussion den Mehrebenen-Charakter der europäischen Politik und das normative Potenzial der Legitimationsvermittlung zwischen Union und Bürgern durch die demokratisch verfassten Mitgliedstaaten. Die gegenwärtige Eurokrise allerdings zerstört die Fähigkeit demokratischer Mitgliedstaaten, die Ausübung europäischer Herrschaftsfunktionen zu legitimieren. Der Aufsatz erörtert die Implikationen dieser neuen Konstellation.1 Introduction 2 Legitimacy discourses The republican discourse The liberal discourse Differences 3 Constitutional democracies – and the European Union? 4 Legitimacy intermediation in the multilevel European polity 5 The end of legitimacy intermediation in the euro crisis Monetary Union and the failure of output legitimacy Rescuing the euro through supranational intervention 6 Legitimate supranational government?
