Poincare Inequalities and Spectral Gap, Concentration Phenomenon for G-Measures

2002

We produce a new approach based upon inequalities of Poincare’s type for giving constructive estimates of the mixing rate for a family of mixing stationary processes continuously depending on their past called g-measures. We establish also exponential inequalities of Hoeffding’s type leading to a concentration phenomenon for a large class of observables; this last property permits in particular to give the typical behaviour of the n-orbits of a g-measure.

Truncation, Information, and the Coefficient of Variation

1989

The Fisher information in a random sample from the truncated version of a distribution that belongs to an exponential family is compared with the Fisher information in a random sample from the un- truncated distribution. Conditions under which there is more information in the selection sample are given. Examples involving the normal and gamma distributions with various selection sets, and the zero-truncated binomial, Poisson, and negative binomial distributions are discussed. A property pertaining to the coefficient of variation of certain discrete distributions on the non-negative integers is introduced and shown to be satisfied by all binomial, Poisson, and negative binomial distributions.

The Complex WKB Method

2019

In this chapter we shall study the exponential growth and asymptotic expansions of exact solutions of second-order differential equations in the semi-classical limit. As an application, we establish a Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization condition for Schrodinger operators with real-analytic complex-valued potentials.

Robust H<inf>∞</inf> control of Markovian jump systems with mixed time delays

2010

In this paper, the problem of stability analysis and control synthesis for Markovian jump linear systems with time delays and norm-bounded uncertainties is studied. The model under consideration consists of different time-invariant discrete, neutral and distributed delays. Delay-dependent sufficient conditions for the design of a mode-dependent delayed state feedback H ∞ control are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). A controller which guarantees stochastic stability and a prescribed level of H ∞ performance for the closed-loop system is then developed. A Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) method underlies the control design. A numerical example with simulation results i…

Sliding mode exponential H<inf>∞</inf> synchronization of Markovian jumping master-slave systems with time-delays and nonlinea…

2011

This paper investigates the problem of exponential H ∞ synchronization for a class of master-slave systems with both discrete and distributed time-delays, norm-bounded nonlinear uncertainties and Markovian switching parameters. Using an appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, some delay-dependent sufficient conditions and a synchronization law which include the master-slave parameters are established for designing a delay-dependent mode-dependent sliding mode exponential H ∞ synchronization control law in terms of linear matrix inequalities. The controller guarantees the H ∞ synchronization of the two coupled master and slave systems regardless of their initial states. A numerical examp…

Computing Difficulties for Deriving Poverty Indices from Some Functional Forms of Lorenz Curves

2014

We examine three families of classical one-parameter functional forms for estimating a Lorenz curve: the power form (Pareto, elementary form), the exponential form (Gupta, elementary form) and fractional form (Rohde). For the first time, we systematically study these functions not for their ability to be estimated but on the point of view of the possibility of deriving poverty indices, which implies first determining the headcount ratio (i.e., the percentage of poor). We show that computing difficulties have been largely underestimated. Two forms, the most simple ones, pose no problem: the elementary power and exponential forms. However, the Pareto functional form poses problem with a restr…

Adaptació del coeficient de GINI per a la formulació d'un coeficient de desigualtat lingüística

2020

El text adapta el Coeficient de Gini per elaborar un Coeficient de Desigualtat Lingüística (CDL) i aplicar-lo al cas valencià, tenint en compte les Taxes de Competència i les Taxes d?Ús. Es desenvolupen dos models, un basat en corbes parabòliques i un altre basat en corbes exponencials per al cas de disposar d?una parella de dades (x,y). Es calculen els Coeficients de Desigualtat Lingüística en ambdós casos per a les regions sociolingüístiques valencianes. Finalment es compara el resultat amb una corba general per al cas valencià

The Impact of the Spanish Foreign trade on its Real CO2 Emissions

2019

CO2 emissions are a global problem. This means that nothing or very little will change if only particular countries are involved. The aim of this paper is the attempt to show the real CO2 emissions of Spain as well as the impact of its trade on CO2 emissions in other countries in the world and in the EU in 2017. This study was conducted on the group of countries that are the major emitters of CO2 in the world including most of the EU members. Countries with negligible CO2 emissions were omitted. Actual CO2 emissions were obtained by applying the actual emission factor. This considers the transfer of CO2 in export products and services as well as those imported by particular countries. The r…

Filipinas en el marco del imperio español en el siglo XIX

2019

[EN] En este artículo se analiza la evolución de Filipinas en las últimas décadas del siglo XVIII y en el transcurso del siglo XIX a través de diferentes epígrafes: la obligada transformación del secular modelo colonial volcado hacia el tráfico del Galeón y las relaciones transpacíficas; la renovada inclinación hacia Asia, el océano Índico y el mar de China; el desarrollo de un sistema económico basado en la exportación de productos filipinos y en la apertura de las islas al exterior; la evolución de la vida política; el camino hacia la modernización; el peso de las órdenes religiosas, la importancia de la población china y la colaboración con élites indígenas como rasgos singulares de Fili…
