Extension Monads: Some Structure Theorems
We investigate the behavior of extension monads, introduced in the 1990s by the second author, in terms of structure results for infinitely many finitary operations and common constructions in varieties or categories of algebras. Specifically, we see that for finite collections of algebras of the same signature there the extension monad operation commutes with the direct product operation, and that the only retractions from an enlargement or extension monad are trivial.

Study of Iterative Detection, Decoding and Channel Estimation for RIS-Aided MIMO Networks
This work proposes an iterative detection, decoding and channel estimation scheme for multiple-antenna systems assisted by multiple reflective intelligent surfaces (RIS). A novel channel estimation technique that exploits low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes and iterative processing is developed to enhance estimation accuracy while reducing the number of required pilot symbols. The key idea is to exploit encoded pilots to improve the iterative process, enabling the use of not only pilot bits b…
