Necessary And Sufficient

We consider arbitrary orderings of the edges entering each vertex of the (downward directed) Pascal graph. Each ordering determines an adic (Bratteli–Vershik) system, with a transformation that is defined on most of the space of infinite paths that begin at the root. We prove that for every ordering the coding of orbits according to the partition of the path space determined by the first three edges is essentially faithful, meaning that it is one-to-one on a set of paths that has full measure for every fully supported invariant probability measure. We also show that for every$k$the subshift that arises from coding orbits according to the first$k$edges is topologically weakly mixing. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for any adic system to be topologically conjugate to an odometer and use this condition to determine the probability that a random order on a fixed diagram, or a diagram constructed at random in some way, is topologically conjugate to an odometer. We also show that the closure of the union over all orderings of the subshifts arising from codings of the Pascal adic by the first edge has superpolynomial complexity, is not topologically transitive, and has no periodic points besides the two fixed points, while the intersection over all orderings consists of just four orbits.

Strong Feller

We consider the class of Markov kernels for which the weak or strong Feller property fails to hold at some discontinuity set. We provide a simple necessary and sufficient condition for existence of an invariant probability measure as well as a Foster-Lyapunov sufficient condition. We also characterize a subclass, the quasi (weak or strong) Feller kernels, for which the sequences of expected occupation measures share the same asymptotic properties as for (weak or strong) Feller kernels. In particular, it is shown that the sequences of expected occupation measures of strong and quasi strong-Feller kernels with an invariant probability measure converge setwise to an invariant measure.

We study the iteration of functions in the exponential family. We construct a number of sets, consisting of points which escape to infinity ‘slowly’, and which have Hausdorff dimension equal to$1$. We prove these results by using the idea of anannular itinerary. In the case of a general transcendental entire function we show that one of these sets, theuniformly slowly escaping set, has strong dynamical properties and we give a necessary and sufficient condition for this set to be non-empty.

Type Contraction

The aim of the present paper is to show the significance of the concept of orbital continuity introduced by Ciric. We prove that orbital continuity of a pair of R-weak commuting self-mappings of type Af or of type A1 of a complete metric space is equivalent to fixed point property under Jungck type contraction. We also establish a situation in which orbital continuity is a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a common fixed point of a pair of mappings yet the mappings are necessarily discontinuous at the fixed point.

This paper addresses the observability analysis and the observer design of the continuous state for a particular class of linear switched systems. Using some dynamical properties of considered systems, we give a simple necessary and sufficient condition of the observability for a predetermined switching sequence. The obtained observability condition leads us to design a new real time state observer. This latter is based on the exact accumulation of the information provided from the switching sequence of modes, and it convergences once the observability condition is verified. Some examples with simulation show the efficiency of the obtain observability condition and the proposed state observer.

In this paper, we discuss a necessary and sufficient condition for common fixed points of two nonexpansive mappings. We then prove a convergence theorem to a common fixed point. Finally, we discuss the existence of a nonexpansive retraction onto the set of common fixed points of nonexpansive mappings. In these theorems, we do not assume the strict (uniform) convexity of the norm of the Banach space.

Necessary And Sufficient

This paper introduces an auditor reliability framework that repositions the role of auditor independence in the accounting profession. The framework is motivated in part by widespread confusion about independence and the auditing profession's continuing problems with managing independence and inspiring public confidence. We use philosophical, theoretical, and professional arguments to argue that the public interest will be best served by reprioritizing professional and ethical objectives to establish reliability in fact and appearance as the cornerstone of the profession, rather than relationship-based independence in fact and appearance. This revised framework requires three foundation elements to control subjectivity in auditors' judgments and decisions: independence, integrity, and expertise. Each element is a necessary but not sufficient condition for maximizing objectivity. Objectivity, in turn, is a necessary and sufficient condition for achieving and maintaining reliability in fact and appearance.

Necessary And Sufficient

The Kantian account of political authority holds that the state is a necessary and sufficient condition of our freedom. We cannot be free outside the state, Kantians argue, because any attempt to have the “acquired rights” necessary for our freedom implicates us in objectionable relations of dependence on private judgment. Only in the state can this problem be overcome. But it is not clear how mere institutions could make the necessary difference, and contemporary Kantians have not offered compelling explanations. A detailed analysis is presented of the problems Kantians identify with the state of nature and the objections they face in claiming that the state overcomes them. A response is sketched on behalf of Kantians. The key idea is that under state institutions, a person can make claims of acquired right without presupposing that she is by nature exceptional in her capacity to bind others.
