Generalized Alomari functionals
2015
We consider a generalized form of certain integral inequalities given by Guessab, Schmeisser and Alomari. The trapezoidal, mid point, Simpson, Newton-Simpson rules are obtained as special cases. Also, inequalities for the generalized Alomari functional in terms of the $n$-th order modulus, $n=\overline{1,4}$, are given and applied to some known quadrature rules.
NUMERICAL ALGORITHMS
2013
For many systems of differential equations modeling problems in science and engineering, there are natural splittings of the right hand side into two parts, one non-stiff or mildly stiff, and the other one stiff. For such systems implicit-explicit (IMEX) integration combines an explicit scheme for the non-stiff part with an implicit scheme for the stiff part. In a recent series of papers two of the authors (Sandu and Zhang) have developed IMEX GLMs, a family of implicit-explicit schemes based on general linear methods. It has been shown that, due to their high stage order, IMEX GLMs require no additional coupling order conditions, and are not marred by order reduction. This work develops a …
Un nouvel invariant des algèbres de Lie et des super-algèbres de Lie quadratiques
2011
In this thesis, we defind a new invariant of quadratic Lie algebras and quadratic Lie superalgebras and give a complete study and classification of singular quadratic Lie algebras and singular quadratic Lie superalgebras, i.e. those for which the invariant does not vanish. The classification is related to adjoint orbits of Lie algebras o(m) and sp(2n). Also, we give an isomorphic characterization of 2-step nilpotent quadratic Lie algebras and quasi-singular quadratic Lie superalgebras for the purpose of completeness. We study pseudo-Euclidean Jordan algebras obtained as double extensions of a quadratic vector space by a one-dimensional algebra and 2-step nilpotent pseudo-Euclidean Jordan al…
SIMULATION EXPERIMENTS WITH MULTIPLE GROUP LINEAR AND QUADRATIC DISCRIMINANT ANALYSIS
1973
Summary A simulation program is described which can be performed to obtain estimates of the different types of misclassification probabilities for multiple group linear and quadratic discriminant analysis. The program can be used to study how these errors depend on sample sizes and the different parameters of the multivariate normal distribution. Examples for several simulation experiments are given and possible conclusions are discussed.
Bi-homogeneity and integrability of rational potentials
2020
Abstract In this paper we consider natural Hamiltonian systems with two degrees of freedom for which Hamiltonian function has the form H = 1 2 ( p 1 2 + p 2 2 ) + V ( q 1 , q 2 ) and potential V ( q 1 , q 2 ) is a rational function. Necessary conditions for the integrability of such systems are deduced from integrability of dominate term of the potential which usually is appropriately chosen homogeneous term of V. We show that introducing weights compatible with the canonical structure one can find new dominant terms which can give new necessary conditions for integrability. To deduce them we investigate integrability of a family of bi-homogeneous potentials which depend on two integer para…
A PHENOMENOLOGICAL OPERATOR DESCRIPTION OF INTERACTIONS BETWEEN POPULATIONS WITH APPLICATIONS TO MIGRATION
2013
We adopt an operatorial method based on the so-called creation, annihilation and number operators in the description of different systems in which two populations interact and move in a two-dimensional region. In particular, we discuss diffusion processes modeled by a quadratic hamiltonian. This general procedure will be adopted, in particular, in the description of migration phenomena. With respect to our previous analogous results, we use here fermionic operators since they automatically implement an upper bound for the population densities.
Non-quadratic improved Hessian PDF reweighting and application to CMS dijet measurements at 5.02 TeV
2019
Hessian PDF reweighting, or "profiling", has become a widely used way to study the impact of a new data set on parton distribution functions (PDFs) with Hessian error sets. The available implementations of this method have resorted to a perfectly quadratic approximation of the initial $\chi^2$ function before inclusion of the new data. We demonstrate how one can take into account the first non-quadratic components of the original fit in the reweighting, provided that the necessary information is available. We then apply this method to the CMS measurement of dijet pseudorapidity spectra in proton-proton (pp) and proton-lead (pPb) collisions at 5.02 TeV. The measured pp dijet spectra disagree…
A Sequential Quadratic Programming Method for Volatility Estimation in Option Pricing
2006
Our goal is to identify the volatility function in Dupire's equation from given option prices. Following an optimal control approach in a Lagrangian framework, we propose a globalized sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithm with a modified Hessian - to ensure that every SQP step is a descent direction - and implement a line search strategy. In each level of the SQP method a linear-quadratic optimal control problem with box constraints is solved by a primal-dual active set strategy. This guarantees L^1 constraints for the volatility, in particular assuring its positivity. The proposed algorithm is founded on a thorough first- and second-order optimality analysis. We prove the existe…
Signature of the presence of a third body orbiting around XB 1916-053
2015
The ultra-compact dipping source \object{XB 1916-053} has an orbital period of close to 50 min and a companion star with a very low mass (less than 0.1 M$_{\odot}$). The orbital period derivative of the source was estimated to be $1.5(3) \times 10^{-11}$ s/s through analysing the delays associated with the dip arrival times obtained from observations spanning 25 years, from 1978 to 2002. The known orbital period derivative is extremely large and can be explained by invoking an extreme, non-conservative mass transfer rate that is not easily justifiable. We extended the analysed data from 1978 to 2014, by spanning 37 years, to verify whether a larger sample of data can be fitted with a quadra…
Brane-world and loop cosmology from a gravity–matter coupling perspective
2015
We show that the effective brane-world and the loop quantum cosmology background expansion histories can be reproduced from a modified gravity perspective in terms of an $f(R)$ gravity action plus a $g(R)$ term non-minimally coupled with the matter Lagrangian. The reconstruction algorithm that we provide depends on a free function of the matter density that must be specified in each case and allows to obtain analytical solutions always. In the simplest cases, the function $f(R)$ is quadratic in the Ricci scalar, $R$, whereas $g(R)$ is linear. Our approach is compared with recent results in the literature. We show that working in the Palatini formalism there is no need to impose any constrai…
