Inclusion Pairs Satisfying Eshelby's Uniformity Property

We establish the uniformity of stresses inside both a non-parabolic open inhomogeneity and a non-elliptical closed inhomogeneity interacting with a nearby circular Eshelby inclusion undergoing uniform anti-plane eigenstrains when the surrounding matrix is subjected to uniform remote anti-plane stresses. Our procedure involves the introduction of a conformal mapping function for the doubly connected domain occupied by the matrix and the circular Eshelby inclusion. Two conditions are established in order to achieve the uniformity property inside each of the two inhomogeneities. Our results indicate that: (a) the internal uniform stresses are independent of the specific shapes of the two inhomogeneities and the existence of the nearby circular Eshelby inclusion; (b) the open and closed shapes of the respective inhomogeneities are significantly affected by the presence of the circular Eshelby inclusion. We also consider the two more complex cases involving: (a) an arbitrary number of circular Eshelby inclusions undergoing uniform eigenstrains; (b) a circular Eshelby inclusion undergoing linear eigenstrains. Detailed numerical results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed theory.

Uniformity Property

We show that the normal form of the Taylor expansion of a $\lambda$-term is isomorphic to its B\"ohm tree, improving Ehrhard and Regnier's original proof along three independent directions. First, we simplify the final step of the proof by following the left reduction strategy directly in the resource calculus, avoiding to introduce an abstract machine ad hoc. We also introduce a groupoid of permutations of copies of arguments in a rigid variant of the resource calculus, and relate the coefficients of Taylor expansion with this structure, while Ehrhard and Regnier worked with groups of permutations of occurrences of variables. Finally, we extend all the results to a nondeterministic setting: by contrast with previous attempts, we show that the uniformity property that was crucial in Ehrhard and Regnier's approach can be preserved in this setting.

Uniformity Property

AbstractGiven two (positive) equivalence relations ~1, ~2 on the set ω of natural numbers, we say that ~1 is m-reducible to ~2 if there exists a total recursive function h such that for every x, y ∈ ω, we have x ~1y iff hx ~2hy. We prove that the equivalence relation induced in ω by a positive precomplete numeration is complete with respect to this reducibility (and, moreover, a “uniformity property” holds). This result allows us to state a classification theorem for positive equivalence relations (Theorem 2). We show that there exist nonisomorphic positive equivalence relations which are complete with respect to the above reducibility; in particular, we discuss the provable equivalence of a strong enough theory: this relation is complete with respect to reducibility but it does not correspond to a precomplete numeration.From this fact we deduce that an equivalence relation on ω can be strongly represented by a formula (see Definition 8) iff it is positive. At last, we interpret the situation from a topological point of view. Among other things, we generalize a result of Visser by showing that the topological space corresponding to a partition in e.i. sets is irreducible and we prove that the set of equivalence classes of true sentences is dense in the Lindenbaum algebra of the theory.

Uniformity Property

We consider two-player turn-based game arenas for which we investigate uniformity properties of strategies. These properties involve sets of plays in order to express useful constraints on strategies that are not μ-calculus definable. Typically, we can represent constraints on allowed strategies, such as being observation-based. We propose a formal language to specify uniformity properties, involving an original modality called R, meaning "for all related plays". Its semantics is given by some binary relation between plays. We demonstrate the relevance of our approach by rephrasing various known problems from the literature. We also study an automated procedure to synthesize strategies subject to a uniformity property, which strictly extends existing results based on, say standard temporal logics. We exhibit a generic solution for the synthesis problem provided the binary relation that defines the sets of related plays is recognizable by a finite state transducer. This solution yields a nonelementary procedure.
