Involutive representations of coordinate algebras and quantum spaces by Tajron Jurić, Timothé Poulain, Jean-Christophe Wallet

“…We show that the quantized plane waves ob-tained from the quantization map action on the usual exponential functions are determined by polar decomposition of operators combined with constraint stemming from the Wigner theorem for SU(2). Selecting a subfamily of ∗-representations, we show that the resulting star-product is equivalent to the Kontsevich product for the Poisson manifold dual to the finite dimensional Lie algebra s u 2 $$ \mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{u}(2) $$ . …”

Stability Analysis of a New Fourth-Order Optimal Iterative Scheme for Nonlinear Equations by Alicia Cordero, José A. Reyes, Juan R. Torregrosa, María P. Vassileva

“…After the convergence analysis, a study of the stability of this class is made using the tools of complex discrete dynamics, allowing those elements of the class with lower dependence on initial estimations to be selected in order to find a very stable subfamily. Numerical tests indicate that the stable members perform better on quadratic polynomials than the unstable ones when applied to other non-polynomial functions. …”

The complete plastid genome sequence of Phyllodium pulchellum (L.) Desv. (Leguminosae) by Mingsong Wu, Ming Qin, Xin Qian, Kai Zhang, Tieyao Tu

“…This study investigated the complete plastid genome of Phyllodium pulchellum, which represents the first report of the complete plastome for the genus Phyllodium in the tribe Desmodieae of the subfamily Papilionoideae. De novo assembly and annotation showed that the plastid genome is a typical quadripartite structure consisting of two inverted repeats (IR = 24,286 bp), one small single copy (SSC = 18,334 bp), and one large single copy (LSC = 82,715 bp). …”
