The present paper is devoted to finding a necessary and sufficient condition on the occurence of scattering for the regularly hyperbolic systems with time-dependent coefficients whose time-derivatives are integrable over the real line. More precisely, it will be shown that the solutions are asymptotically free if the coefficients are stable in the sense of the Riemann integrability as time goes to infinity, while each nontrivial solution is never asymptotically free provided that the coefficients are not R-stable as times goes to infinity. As a by-product, the scattering operator can be constructed. It is expected that the results obtained in the present paper would be brought into the study of the asymptotic behaviour of Kirchhoff systems.
In order to analyze joint measurability of given measurements, we introduce a Hermitian operator-valued measure, called $W$-measure, such that it has marginals of positive operator-valued measures (POVMs). We prove that ${W}$-measure is a POVM {em if and only if} its marginal POVMs are jointly measurable. The proof suggests to employ the negatives of ${W}$-measure as an indicator for non-joint measurability. By applying triangle inequalities to the negativity, we derive joint measurability criteria for dichotomic and trichotomic variables. Also, we propose an operational test for the joint measurability in sequential measurement scenario.
We solve the problem of whether a set of quantum tests reveals state-independent contextuality and use this result to identify the simplest set of the minimal dimension. We also show that identifying state-independent contextuality graphs [R. Ramanathan and P. Horodecki, Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 040404 (2014)] is not sufficient for revealing state-independent contextuality.
We study pullback attractors of non-autonomous non-compact dynamical systems generated by differential equations with non-autonomous deterministic as well as stochastic forcing terms. We first introduce the concepts of pullback attractors and asymptotic compactness for such systems. We then prove a sufficient and necessary condition for existence of pullback attractors. We also introduce the concept of complete orbits for this sort of systems and use these special solutions to characterize the structures of pullback attractors. For random systems containing periodic deterministic forcing terms, we show the pullback attractors are also periodic. As an application of the abstract theory, we prove the existence of a unique pullback attractor for Reaction-Diffusion equations on $R^n$ with both deterministic and random external terms. Since Sobolev embeddings are not compact on unbounded domains, the uniform estimates on the tails of solutions are employed to establish the asymptotic compactness of solutions.
This paper has been withdrawn. This paper focuses on the admissibility condition for fractional-order singular system with order $alpha in (0,1)$. The definitions of regularity, impulse-free and admissibility are given first, then a sufficient and necessary condition of admissibility for fractional-order singular system is established. A numerical example is included to illustrate the proposed condition.
Unmeasured confounding is a threat to causal inference and individualized decision making. Similar to Cui and Tchetgen Tchetgen (2020); Qiu et al. (2020); Han (2020a), we consider the problem of identification of optimal individualized treatment regimes with a valid instrumental variable. Han (2020a) provided an alternative identifying condition of optimal treatment regimes using the conditional Wald estimand of Cui and Tchetgen Tchetgen (2020); Qiu et al. (2020) when treatment assignment is subject to endogeneity and a valid binary instrumental variable is available. In this note, we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for identification of optimal treatment regimes using the conditional Wald estimand. Our novel condition is necessarily implied by those of Cui and Tchetgen Tchetgen (2020); Qiu et al. (2020); Han (2020a) and may continue to hold in a variety of potential settings not covered by prior results.
