On the reduction of a random basis

Ali Akhavi, Jean-François Marckert, Alain Rouault (2009)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

For p ≤ n, let b1(n),...,bp(n) be independent random vectors in n with the same distribution invariant by rotation and without mass at the origin. Almost surely these vectors form a basis for the Euclidean lattice they generate. The topic of this paper is the property of reduction of this random basis in the sense of Lenstra-Lenstra-Lovász (LLL). If b ^ 1 ( n ) , ... , b ^ p ( n ) is the basis obtained from b1(n),...,bp(n) by Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization, the quality of the reduction depends upon the sequence of ratios...

On the simplest centralizer of a language

Paolo Massazza, Petri Salmela (2006)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Given a finite alphabet Σ and a language L ⊆ ∑+, the centralizer of L is defined as the maximal language commuting with it. We prove that if the primitive root of the smallest word of L (with respect to a lexicographic order) is prefix distinguishable in L then the centralizer of L is as simple as possible, that is, the submonoid L*. This lets us obtain a simple proof of a known result concerning the centralizer of nonperiodic three-word languages.

On the size of one-way quantum finite automata with periodic behaviors

Carlo Mereghetti, Beatrice Palano (2002)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

We show that, for any stochastic event p of period n , there exists a measure-once one-way quantum finite automaton (1qfa) with at most 2 6 n + 25 states inducing the event a p + b , for constants a > 0 , b 0 , satisfying a + b 1 . This fact is proved by designing an algorithm which constructs the desired 1qfa in polynomial time. As a consequence, we get that any periodic language of period n can be accepted with isolated cut point by a 1qfa with no more than 2 6 n + 26 states. Our results give added evidence of the strength of measure-once...

On the Size of One-way Quantum Finite Automata with Periodic Behaviors

Carlo Mereghetti, Beatrice Palano (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

We show that, for any stochastic event p of period n, there exists a measure-once one-way quantum finite automaton (1qfa) with at most 2 6 n + 25 states inducing the event ap+b, for constants a>0, b ≥ 0, satisfying a+b ≥ 1. This fact is proved by designing an algorithm which constructs the desired 1qfa in polynomial time. As a consequence, we get that any periodic language of period n can be accepted with isolated cut point by a 1qfa with no more than 2 6 n + 26 states. Our results give added evidence of the...
