Stability of principal components

In this article we deal with the problem of stability of the conclusions from principal components analysis over repeated samples. We define a measure of stability for each component and investigate some of the measures properties. We then obtain the maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) of the measures, and derive their joint limiting distributions. The MLEs of the measures turn out to be asymptotically unbiased and jointly have the multivariate normal distribution. Modified estimators are also found to reduce the amount of bias in the MLEs. To facilitate interpretation of the measures we define stability confidence level as coverage probability, and associate with each measure a stability confidence level to describe the measure in terms of probability. Finally, we investigate the stability of the components via a simulation study and compare the performance of the MLEs and the modified estimators in terms of bias and precision. This work was sponsored by a grant from the Office of Vice-President for Research at Kuwait University under project number SS049.     

Shape-preserving signal forms in heat conduction

Let us consider the heat conduction problem described by a parabolic equation. We study under which conditions is the time-dependence on the boundary preserved inside the solid. The question is how information entering on the boundary penetrates the solid. E.g. consider a heat conducting solid subject to sinusoidally varying boundary condition. After decay of the transients, the temperature at any inner point varies in time sinusoidally with the same circular frequency, with space dependent amplitude and phase delay. So, sinusoidal signals inserted on the boundary are preserved. Information is also preserved in case of linear signals. Farkas and Mudri [H. Farkas, I. Mudri, Shape-preserving time-dependences in heat conduction, Acta Phys. Hung. 55 (1984) 267–273] have formulated this phenomenon, defined the notion of the boundary following solution and the shape-preserving signal forms, determined necessary and heuristic sufficient conditions for the shape-preserving signal forms.

Their work is extended by rigorous proofs of some sufficient conditions in this paper, and the minimum of the phase delay, expected to be attained on the boundary for physical reasons, is examined.     

Lowest Order Constrained Variational Calculation of Structure Properties of Protoneutron Star

We calculate the structure properties of protoneutron star such as equation of state, maximum mass, radius and temperature profile using the lowest order constrained variational method. We show that the mass and radius of protoneutron star decrease by decreasing both entropy and temperature. For the protoneutron star, it is shown that the temperature is nearly constant in the core and drops rapidly near the crust.     

The structure of matrices with a maximum multiplicity eigenvalue

There is remarkable and distinctive structure among Hermitian matrices, whose graph is a given tree T and that have an eigenvalue of multiplicity that is a maximum for T. Among such structure, we give several new results: (1) no vertex of T may be “neutral”; (2) neutral vertices may occur if the largest multiplicity is less than the maximum; (3) every Parter vertex has at least two downer branches; (4) removal of a Parter vertex changes the status of no other vertex; and (5) every set of Parter vertices forms a Parter set. Statements (3), (4) and (5) are also not generally true when the multiplicity is less than the maximum. Some of our results are used to give further insights into prior results, and both the review of necessary background and the development of new structural lemmas may be of independent interest.     

Maximum principles for a fourth order equation from thin plate theory

This paper focuses on a nonlinear equation from thin plate theory of the form Δ(D(x)Δw)−(1−ν)[D,w]+c(x)f(w)=0. We obtain maximum principles for certain functions defined on the solution of this equation using P-functions or auxiliary functions of the types used by Payne [L.E. Payne, Some remarks on maximum principles, J. Anal. Math. 30 (1976) 421-433] and Schaefer [P.W. Schaefer, Solution, gradient, and laplacian bounds in some nonlinear fourth order elliptic equations, SIAM J. Math. Anal. 18 (1987) 430-434].     

Finding a feasible flow in a strongly connected network

We give a linear-time algorithm to find a feasible flow in a strongly connected network with fixed supplies and demands, each summing to a common value that is at most the minimum arc capacity. This algorithm speeds up the Goldberg-Rao maximum flow method by a constant factor.

Criteria for Unconstrained Global Optimization

We develop criteria for the existence and uniqueness of the global minima of a continuous bounded function on a noncompact set. Special attention is given to the problem of parameter estimation via minimization of the sum of squares in nonlinear regression and maximum likelihood. Definitions of local convexity and unimodality are given using the level set. A fundamental theorem of nonconvex optimization is formulated: If a function approaches the minimal limiting value at the boundary of the optimization domain from below and its Hessian matrix is positive definite at the point where the gradient vanishes, then the function has a unique minimum. It is shown that the local convexity level of the sum of squares is equal to the minimal squared radius of the regression curvature. A new multimodal function is introduced, the decomposition function, which can be represented as the composition of a convex function and a nonlinear function from the argument space to a space of larger dimension. Several general global criteria based on majorization and minorization functions are formulated.
