analysis, including, for example, Markov chains and continuous-time averaging networks. In this paper we study the problem of allocating edge weights on a given graph in order to minimize the total effective resistance, i.e., the sum of the resistances between all pairs of nodes. We show that this is a

The prospects at the CERN LHC are investigated for the discovery via decays into muon pairs of neutral Higgs bosons in the minimal supergravity model. Promising results are found for the CP-odd pseudoscalar (A 0) and the heavier CP-even scalar (H 0) Higgs bosons at large tan β ≡ v2/v1. For tan β

We investigate the energy of arrangements of N points on the surface of the unit sphere S d in R d+1 that interact through a power law potential V = 1=r s ; where s ? 0 and r is Euclidean distance. With Ed(s; N) denoting the minimal energy for such N-point arrangements we obtain bounds

with graphical pieces that are defined over a disk with either one or two sub–disks removed (a topological disk with two sub–disks removed is called a pair of pants). Both of these structures occur as different extremes in the two-parameter family of minimal surfaces known as the Riemann examples. The results

Beginning phonetics students are taught that American English has two contrasting reduced vowels, transcribed as [´] and [È], illustrated by the unstressed vowels in the minimal pair Rosa’s vs. roses. However little seems to be known about the precise nature or distribution of these vowels

intertrial interval. The sentences were presented in pairs. The pairs differed in the number of voices speaking and, as a result, the volume of the presentation. The first pair was spoken by a single voice, the second pair by two voices, the third pair by three voices, and the fourth pair by four voices

The prospects for the discovery of neutral Higgs bosons (φ0 = H0,h0,A 0) produced with bottom quarks via Higgs decays into muon pairs (pp → b¯bφ 0 → b¯bµ¯µ + X) at the CERN LHC are investigated in the minimal supersymmetric model. The complete physics background from the production of b¯bµ¯µ, b

A Minimal Cover by Triples is an ordered pair (V,T) where V is a finite set and T is a collection of three-element subsets of V with the properties that every pair of elements of V appear together in at least one element of T and if any element of T is removed, the first property no longer holds

T–violating asymmetry in chargino pair production processes is studied in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. The asymmetry emerges at the tree level in the production of two different charginos, and could be as large as of order 10 −2 in unpolarized electron beam experiments and 10 −1

The cross section for vector leptoquark pair production in e + e \Gamma annihilation is calculated for the case of finite anomalous gauge boson couplings fl;Z and fl;Z . The minimal cross section is found to behave / fi 7 , leading to weaker mass bounds in the threshold range than in models
