Hyper-Minimization for Deterministic Weighted Tree Automata [PDF]
Hyper-minimization is a state reduction technique that allows a finite change in the semantics. The theory for hyper-minimization of deterministic weighted tree automata is provided.

Algebraic Solution of Tropical Best Approximation Problems
We introduce new discrete best approximation problems, formulated and solved in the framework of tropical algebra, which deals with semirings and semifields with idempotent addition.

Pushing for weighted tree automata [PDF]
A weight normalization procedure, commonly called pushing, is introduced for weighted tree automata (wta) over commutative semifields. The normalization preserves the recognized weighted tree language even for nondeterministic wta, but it is most useful ...

Switchings of semifield multiplications [PDF]
Let $B(X,Y)$ be a polynomial over $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ which defines an $\mathbb{F}_q$-bilinear form on the vector space $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$, and let $ξ$ be a nonzero element in $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$. In this paper, we consider for which $B(X,Y)$, the binary operation $xy+B(x,y)ξ$ defines a (pre)semifield multiplication on $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$.

Abstract Lethal and sublethal effects of pesticides on nontarget organisms are one of the causes of the current decline of many insect species. However, research in the past decades has focused primarily on pollinators, although other beneficial nontarget organisms such as parasitic wasps may also be affected.

Summary: It is well known that a semigroup \(S\) is a Clifford semigroup if and only if \(S\) is a strong semilattice of groups. We have recently extended this important result from semigroups to semirings by showing that a semiring \(S\) is a Clifford semiring if and only if \(S\) is a strong distributive lattice of skew-rings.

A Wolbachia‐free Aedes albopictus strain was developed and considered to be used for SIT programmes based on the comparable fitness cost, radiosensitivity and arbovirus susceptibility to its conspecifics. Abstract BACKGROUND The sterile insect technique (SIT) is a green and species‐specific insect pest control technique that suppresses target ...

Decoding attraction: Improving vine weevil monitoring by exploiting key sensory cues
Vine weevil adults preferred black, tall and large‐diameter monitoring tools. Monitoring tool density influenced the number of vine weevils recorded in monitoring tools. By contrast plant density did not influence the number of weevils recorded in monitoring tools.

Abstract Recovery, recolonization, and adaptation in a chemical stress context are processes that regenerate local populations and communities as well as the functions these communities perform. Recolonization, either by species previously present or by new species able to occupy the niches left empty, refers to a metacommunity process with stressed ...

Summary: We introduce the notions of ternary semi-integral domain and ternary semifield and study some of their properties. In particular we also investigate the maximal ideals of the ternary semiring \(\mathbb{Z}^-_0\).
