On the combinatorics of Kac's asymmetry function

R. M. Green — 2010

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We use categories to recast the combinatorial theory of full heaps, which are certain labelled partially ordered sets that we introduced in previous work. This gives rise to a far simpler set of definitions, which we use to outline a combinatorial construction of the so-called loop algebras associated to affine untwisted Kac--Moody algebras. The finite convex subsets of full heaps are equipped with a statistic called parity, and this naturally gives rise to Kac's asymmetry function. The latter is...

Semigroup Analysis of Structured Parasite Populations

J. Z. FarkasD. M. GreenP. Hinow — 2010

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Motivated by structured parasite populations in aquaculture we consider a class of size-structured population models, where individuals may be recruited into the population with distributed states at birth. The mathematical model which describes the evolution of such a population is a first-order nonlinear partial integro-differential equation of hyperbolic type. First, we use positive perturbation arguments and utilise results from the spectral...
