Detailed analytic study of the compact pairwise model for SIS epidemic propagation on networks
The global behaviour of the compact pairwise approximation of SIS epidemic
propagation on networks is studied. It is shown that the system can be reduced
to two equations enabling us to carry out a detailed study of the dynamic
properties of the solutions. It is proved that transcritical bifurcation occurs
in the system at ,
where and are infection and recovery rates, respectively,
is the average degree of the network and is the second
moment of the degree distribution. For subcritical values of the
disease-free steady state is stable, while for supercritical values a unique
stable endemic equilibrium appears. We also prove that for subcritical values
of the disease-free steady state is globally stable under certain
assumptions on the graph that cover a wide class of networks
A common optical algorithm for the evaluation of specular spin polarized neutron and M\"ossbauer reflectivities
Using the general approach of Lax for multiple scattering of waves a 2x2
covariant expression for the reflectivity of polarized slow neutrons of a
magnetic layer structure of arbitrary complexity is given including
polarization effects of the external magnetic field. The present formalism is
identical to the earlier published one for the (nuclear) resonant X-ray
(Mossbauer) reflectivity and properly takes the effect of the external magnetic
field of arbitrary direction on the neutron beam into account. The form of the
reflectivity matrix allows for an efficient numerical calculation.Comment: 4 pages, no figures, PNCMI2000 - Proceeding of the Third

Variational occupation numbers to a M\"uller-type pair-density
Based on a parametric point-wise decomposition, a kind of isospectral
deformation, of the exact one-particle probability density of an externally
confined, analytically solvable interacting two-particle model system we
introduce the associated parametric () one-matrix and apply it in the
conventional M\"uller-type partitioning of the pair-density. Using the
Schr\"odinger Hamiltonian of the correlated system, the corresponding
approximate ground-state energy is then calculated. The
optimization-search performed on with such restricted informations has a
robust performance and results in the exact () ground-state energy for the
correlated model system .Comment: 11 pages, 1 figur
Cascade Product of Permutation Groups
We define the cascade product of permutation groups as an external product,
an explicit construction of substructures of the iterated wreath product that
are much smaller than the full wreath product. This construction is essential
for computational implementations of algebraic hierarchical decompositions of
finite automata. We show how direct, semidirect, and wreath products and group
extensions can all be expressed as cascade products, and analyse examples of
groups that can be constructed isomorphically by this generic extension giving
them a hierarchically coordinatized form.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figures, related software package SgpDec

Computational Understanding and Manipulation of Symmetries
For natural and artificial systems with some symmetry structure,
computational understanding and manipulation can be achieved without learning
by exploiting the algebraic structure. Here we describe this algebraic
coordinatization method and apply it to permutation puzzles. Coordinatization
yields a structural understanding, not just solutions for the puzzles.Comment: 14 pages, 5 figures, v2 major revision of computational example
Subgroup Chains and Lagrange Coordinatizations of Finite Permutation Groups
We give a general constructive proof for hierarchical coordinatizations
(Lagrange Decompositions) of permutation groups. The generalization originates
from the investigation of how the subgroup chains of finite permutation groups
yield different coordinate systems. The study is motivated by the practical
needs and the verification of an existing computational implementation. Large
scale machine calculated examples are also presented.Comment: 10 pages, 1 figur
Compact Notation for Finite Transformations
We describe a new notation for finite transformations. This compact notation
extends the orbit-cycle notation for permutations and builds upon existing
notations. It gives insight into the structure of transformations and reduces
the length of expressions without increasing the number of types of symbols.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, compact notation implemented in SgpDec

Green's -classes and Subduction Classes in Finite Transformation Semigroups
We establish the connection between Green's -classes and the
subduction equivalence classes defined on the image sets of an action of a
semigroup. The construction of the skeleton order (on subduction equivalence
classes) is shown to depend in a functorial way on transformation semigroups
and surjective morphisms, and to factor through the -order
and -order on the semigroup and through the inclusion order
on image sets. For right regular representations, the correspondence between
the -class order and the skeleton is one of isomorphism.Comment: 8 page
Computational Holonomy Decomposition of Transformation Semigroups
We present an understandable, efficient, and streamlined proof of the
Holonomy Decomposition for finite transformation semigroups and automata. This
constructive proof closely follows the existing computational implementation.
Its novelty lies in the strict separation of several different ideas appearing
in the holonomy method. The steps of the proof and the constructions are
illustrated with computed examples.Comment: 16 pages, 4 figures, final version will be published elsewher
