On cleanness of AW*-algebras

A ring is called clean if every element is the sum of an invertible element and an idempotent. This paper investigates the cleanness of AW*-algebras. We prove that all finite AW*-algebras are clean, affirmatively solving a question posed by Vas. We also prove that all countably decomposable infinite AW*-factors are clean. A *-ring is called almost *-clean if every element can be expressed as the sum of a non-zero-divisor and a projection. We show that an AW*-algebra is almost *-clean if and only if it is finite.

On cleanness of von Neumann algebras

A unital ring is called clean (resp. strongly clean) if every element can be written as the sum of an invertible element and an idempotent (resp. an invertible element and an idempotent that commutes). T.Y. Lam proposed a question: which von Neumann algebras are clean as rings? In this paper, we characterize strongly clean von Neumann algebras and prove that all finite von Neumann algebras and all separable infinite factors are clean.

A practical Response Adaptive Block Randomization (RABR) design with analytic type I error protection

Response adaptive randomization (RAR) is appealing from methodological, ethical, and pragmatic perspectives in the sense that subjects are more likely to be randomized to better performing treatment groups based on accumulating data. However, applications of RAR in confirmatory drug clinical trials with multiple active arms are limited largely due to its complexity, and lack of control of randomization ratios to different treatment groups. To address the aforementioned issues, we propose a Response Adaptive Block Randomization (RABR) design allowing arbitrarily pre-specified randomization ratios for the control and high-performing groups to meet clinical trial objectives. We show the validity of the conventional unweighted test in RABR with a controlled type I error rate based on the weighted combination test for sample size adaptive design invoking no large sample approximation. The advantages of the proposed RABR in terms of robustly reaching target final sample size to meet regulatory requirements and increasing statistical power as compared with the popular Doubly Adaptive Biased Coin Design (DBCD) are demonstrated by statistical simulations and a practical clinical trial design example.

Existence and bifurcation of solutions for a double coupled system of Schrodinger equations

Consider the following system of double coupled Schr\"odinger equations arising from Bose-Einstein condensates etc., \begin{equation*} \left\{\begin{array}{l} -\Delta u + u =\mu_1 u^3 + \beta uv^2- \kappa v, -\Delta v + v =\mu_2 v^3 + \beta u^2v- \kappa u, u\neq0, v\neq0\ \hbox{and}\ u, v\in H^1(\R^N), \end{array} \right. \end{equation*}where $\mu_1, \mu_2$ are positive and fixed, $\kappa$ and $\beta$ are linear and nonlinear coupling parameters respectively. We first use critical point theory and Liouville type theorem to prove some existence and nonexistence results on the positive solutions of this system. Then using the positive and non-degenerate solution of the scalar equation $-\Delta\omega+\omega=\omega^3$, $\omega\in H_r^1(\R^N)$, we construct a synchronized solution branch to prove that for $\beta$ in certain range and fixed, there exist a series of bifurcations in product space $\R\times H^1_r(\R^N)\times H^1_r(\R^N)$ with parameter $\kappa$.
