    Bell inequalities and separability of uncommon causes from the setup configuration

    , Article International Journal of Theoretical Physics ; Volume 45, Issue 11 , 2006 , Pages 2127-2135 ; 00207748 (ISSN) Fakhri, H ; Seyed Yagoobi, S. K. A ; Taqavi, M ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    In the present paper the integration region Λ with more than one hidden variable is attributed to a pair of particles in the Bell's thought experiment as the local causal events in their common lightcone. Moreover, the possibility of uncommon causal events influencing the spin measurement is not ignored. Then, with regard to the separability of the influence of the uncommon events from configuration of the setup, and by relying on local realism and coherency, each of the Bell's inequality versions is obtained by measuring spin in three and four different directions. © 2006 Springer Science+Business Media, Inc

    Abstract
    In this thesis, it has been introduced Hardy inequality and it’s extends. The fractional Hardy inequality for Ω ⊆ Rn and f ∈ C ∞ (Ω) is:1f (x) − f ( y)2∫α +n2dx dy ≥ kn,α ∫f (x)dx( )αΩ×Ωx − yΩ M α x In this thesis we are going to introduce the fractional and derivative forms of Hardy inequality then the Hardy inequality will be proved to fractional form on Euclidean and Hyperbolic domains, and finally we will get right into Hardy inequality with remainder.
     

    An Investigation of Leggett’s Inequality

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Kashefi, Maryam (Author) ; Shafiee, Afshin (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Quantum correlations are among most intriguing problems in physics. Bell’s inequality which was proved in 1964 provides with us the possibility of comparing the predictions of quantum theory with what an underlying local realistic theory may reproduce for some given observables in correlated states. The violation of Bell’s inequality in practice prohibits the existance of such underlying theories. Yet, it is not clear which of the assumption, i.e., locality or reality is responsible for explaining the experimentally verified violations. In 2003, a Nobel prizewinner A. J. Leggett proved a new inequality in which the locality assumption was not crucial. Here, we explore different aspects of...

    Trade Liberalization and Wage Inequality in Iran’s Industries

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Goli, Younes (Author) ; Keshavarz Haddad, GholamReza (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    This study examins effects of trade liberalization on the wage inequality across industries and between genders within these industries by utilizing the data of micro-level Households’ Income and Expenditures surveys and trade statistics over 2001-2011. The analysis is carried based on the Heckscher–Ohlin’s theory in international trade and Baker’s taste discrimination theory at firms. We use Quantile regression and ordinary least squares (OLS) to consider the wage discrimination across entire distribution wage distribution and at wages mean as well. The results of Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition approach (inequality at mean wage) and Machado and Mata’s model (inequality of wage at entire... 

    Delocalized betti numbers and morse type inequalities

    , Article Rocky Mountain Journal of Mathematics ; Volume 41, Issue 4 , August , 2011 , Pages 1361-1374 ; 00357596 (ISSN) Zadeh, M. E ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    In this paper we state and prove delocalized Morse type inequalities for Morse functions as well as for closed differential 1-forms. These inequalities involve delocalized Betti numbers. As an immediate consequence, we prove the vanishing of delocalized Betti numbers of manifolds fibering over the circle under a vanishing condition on the delocalizing conjugacy class  

    Bell's inequality and contextual information

    , Article International Journal of Quantum Information ; Volume 4, Issue 4 , 2006 , Pages 641-651 ; 02197499 (ISSN) Safinejad, F ; Shafiee, A ; Maleeh, R ; Sharif University of Technology
    2006
    Abstract
    The properties of the Shannon entropy (concavity and strong additivity) are satisfied in both classical and quantum experiments, if the context of experiment is considered appropriately. We show that these properties hold true in a classical model with the feature of being contextual, where a correlation is observed between events. Our results show that the classical example is similar to an entangled singlet state for spin-1/2 particles. But, contrary to general opinion, Icorrentgld > 1 is not a necessary and sufficient condition for violating Bell's inequality, since it has been obtained on the basis of a common cause pattern. In other words, it is possible to reconstruct the amount of... 

    A low-order H∞ controller design for an active suspension system via linear matrix inequalities

    , Article JVC/Journal of Vibration and Control ; Volume 10, Issue 8 , 2004 , Pages 1181-1197 ; 10775463 (ISSN) Amirifar, R ; Sadati, N ; Sharif University of Technology
    2004
    Abstract
    We present an application of a new controller order reduction technique with stability and performance preservation based on linear matrix inequality optimization to an active suspension system. In this technique, the rank of the residue matrix of a proper rational approximation of a high-order H ∞ controller subject to the H∞ norm of a frequency-weighted error between the approximated controller and high-order H∞ controller is minimized. However, since solving this matrix rank minimization problem is very difficult, the rank objective function is replaced with the nuclear-norm that can be reduced to a semidefinite program, so that it can be solved efficiently. Application to the active... 

    H∞ formulation of decentralized stabilization problem

    , Article Proceedings of the Thirty-Sixth Southeastern Symposium on System Theory (SSST04), Atlanta, GA., 14 March 2004 through 16 March 2004 ; Volume 36 , 2004 , Pages 79-83 Amirifar, R ; Sadati, N ; Sharif University of Technology
    2004
    Abstract
    This paper considers the problem of stabilizing a class of linear time-invariant large-scale systems composed of a number of subsystems using several local dynamic output feedback controllers. For this problem, a sufficient condition on each closed-loop individual subsystem is derived under which the decentralized controller composed of the local controllers designed for individual subsystems, achieves stability for the overall system. This condition is used to convert the decentralized stabilization problem to a set of the H∞ disturbance rejection subproblems

    PPW Inequality on Graphs

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Momenzadeh, Omid (Author) ; Daneshgar, Amir (Supervisor) ; Javadi Joratani, Ramin (Co-Supervisor)
    Abstract
    The ratio of the two first non-trivial Dirichlet eigenvalues is the subject of the Payne-Polya-Weinburger Conjecture and Inequality. The PPW Conjecture was proven by M. Ashbaugh and R. Benguria. Ashbaugh and Benguria later proved a similar result for domains on the n-sphere. On the other hand, discrete counterparts of universal inequalities from (continuous) have been studied in the graph theory setting. This thesis surveys results related to the PPW inequality on graphs  

    Null controllability of degenerate/singular parabolic equations

    , Article Journal of Dynamical and Control Systems ; Volume 18, Issue 4 , 2012 , Pages 573-602 ; 10792724 (ISSN) Fotouhi, M ; Salimi, L ; Sharif University of Technology
    Springer  2012
    Abstract
    The purpose of this paper is to provide a full analysis of the null controllability problem for the one dimensional degenerate/singular parabolic equation ut - (a(x)ux)x - λ/x βu = 0, (t,x) ∈ (0, T) × (0,1), where the diffusion coefficient a(·) is degenerate at x = 0. Also the boundary conditions are considered to be Dirichlet or Neumann type related to the degeneracy rate of a(·). Under some conditions on the function a(·) and parameters β, λ, we prove global Carleman estimates. The proof is based on an improved Hardy-type inequality  

    One-shot achievability via fidelity

    , Article IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory - Proceedings, 14 June 2015 through 19 June 2015 ; Volume 2015-June , 2015 , Pages 301-305 ; 21578095 (ISSN) ; 9781467377041 (ISBN) Yassaee, M. H ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    This paper provides a universal framework for establishing one-shot achievability results for coordination and secrecy problems. The framework is built on our previous framework [Yassaee et al. 13] for proving one-shot achievability results in the context of source and channel coding problems. In the coordination and secrecy problems, one needs to compare an induced distribution by encoding/decoding with an ideal distribution (satisfying some desirable properties) using a suitable criterion. In this paper, we use fidelity as a criterion for measuring the closeness of induced distribution with the ideal distribution. The framework exploits the stochastic mutual information coders at the...

    Abstract
    Recently, moment dual approach of sums of squares relaxations developed for polynomial optimization problems was successfully extended to optimization problems with polynomial matrix inequality constraints. In this paper, we first derive an efficient polynomial formulization for matrix rank minimization problem which does not add any slack variable or additional equality or inequality constraint. Using the aforementioned theory, then we propose a hierarchy of convex LMI relaxations to provide a sequence of increasingly tight lower bounds on the global minimum rank of an arbitrary matrix under linear and polynomial matrix inequality constraints. Surprisingly enough, these lower bounds are... 

    Low Order Pre-compensator Design Using Linear Matrix Inequalities

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Nazmi, Shabnam (Author) ; Nobakhti, Amin (Supervisor) ; Thornhill, Nina (Co-Advisor)
    Abstract
    One of the most common problems encountered in multivariable systems is the interactions between the system inputs and outputs. Interaction causes difficulties in control of these systems. Hence reduction of interaction in multivariable systems is an important design objective. One way to do this is to employ a pre-compensator in the open loop systems. Several approaches with different design methods and optimization criterions have been proposed thus far. In this study the problem of interaction reduction for a square stable system is considered and a pre-compensator matrix is designed which reduces interactions in the interacting multivariable system.In this case the purpose is to use... 

    Describing Measurment Apparatus by Hidden Variables in the Deduction of Bell Inequality

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Azizi, Arash (Author) ; Golshani, Mehdi (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Quantum Mechanics, as the most famous physical theory was founded about 85 years ago; but still there are a lot of debates about its interpretation. In this work, we review some basic concepts of Quantum Mechanics in form of questions about uncertainty principle, measurement problem and complementarily. We also review Bell inequality which has great philosophical and recently technological results. Bell derived his inequality regardless of modeling the measuring apparatus; we show, by take a realistic model for measuring apparatus, Bell inequality would be deduced. Finally we review a mathematical language which was used to show the duality of wave and particle. Quantum...
