Abstract

In this paper, we investigate characteristic polynomials of matrices in min-plus algebra. Eigenvalues of min-plus matrices are known to be the minimum roots of the characteristic polynomials based on tropical determinants which are designed from emulating standard determinants. Moreover, minimum roots of characteristic polynomials have a close relationship to graphs associated with min-plus matrices consisting of vertices and directed edges with weights. The literature has yet to focus on the other roots of min-plus characteristic polynomials. Thus, here we consider how to relate the 2nd, 3rd,... minimum roots of min-plus characteristic polynomials to graphical features. We then define new characteristic polynomials of min-plus matrices by considering an analogue of the Faddeev-LeVerrier algorithm that generates the characteristic polynomials of linear matrices. We conclusively show that minimum roots of the proposed characteristic polynomials coincide with min-plus eigenvalues, and observe the other roots as in the study of the already known characteristic polynomials. We also give an example to illustrate the difference between the already known and proposed characteristic polynomials., Comment: 16 pages and one figure

Abstract

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a rare disease characterized by malignant cells derived from the epithelial cells of the biliary duct system. Despite extensive treatments, the prognosis for CCA remains poor, emphasizing the critical need for the development of novel treatments. Considerable attention has been directed towards innate immune effector cells, which can recognize tumor cells independently of the major histocompatibility complex, laying the foundation for the development of off-the-shelf drugs. In this study, we cultured innate immune cells obtained from the peripheral blood of healthy adults and conducted a comparative analysis of the effector functions against CCA cell lines by Vδ2 γδ T cells and NK cells. This analysis was performed using standard short- and long-term cytotoxicity assays, as well as ELISA for IFN-γ. Vδ2 γδ T cells demonstrated cytotoxicity and IFN-γ production in response to CCA cells in a TCR-dependent manner, particularly in the presence of tetrakis-pivaloyloxymethyl 2-(thiazole-2-ylamino)ethylidene-1,1-bisphosphonate, a bisphosphonate prodrug. In contrast, direct killing and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity were relatively slow and weak. Conversely, NK cells displayed potent, direct cytotoxicity against CCA cells. In summary, both Vδ2 γδ T cells and NK cells show promise as innate immune effector cells for adoptive transfer therapy in the context of CCA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

13. Discrete-time analysis for the integrable discrete Toda equations and the discrete Lotka-Volterra system

Abstract

The discrete autonomous/non-autonomous Toda equations and the discrete Lotka-Volterra system are important integrable discrete systems in fields such as mathematical physics, mathematical biology and statistical physics. They also have applications to numerical linear algebra. In this paper, we first simultaneously obtain their general solutions. Then, we show the asymptotic behavior of the solutions for any initial values as the discrete-time variables go to infinity. Our two main techniques for understanding the distinct integrable systems are to introduce two types of discrete-time variables and to examine properties of a restricted infinite sequence, its associated determinants and polynomials., Comment: 26 pages

30. Matrix similarity transformations derived from extended q-analogues of the Toda equation and Lotka–Volterra system.

Subjects

Abstract

The q-Toda equation is derived from replacing ordinary derivatives with q-derivatives in the famous Toda equation. In this paper, we associate an extension of the q-Toda equation with matrix eigenvalue problems, and then show applications of its time-discretization to computing matrix eigenvalues. With respect to the Lotka–Volterra system, we also have the similar discussion on the case of the Toda equation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
