Model selection based on Lorenz and concentration curves,Gini indices and convex order

In order to determine an appropriate amount of premium, statistical goodness-of-fit criteria must be supplemented with actuarial ones when assessing performance of a given candidate pure premium. In this paper, concentration curves and Lorenz curves are shown to provide actuaries with effective tools to evaluate whether a premium is appropriate or to compare two competing alternatives. The idea is to compare the premium income for sub-portfolios gathering low risks (identified as low by means of the premiums under consideration) to the true one, or equivalently, to the actual losses. Numerical illustrations performed on hypothetical data and real ones demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed approach.     

平板折叠桌的设计模型

根据折叠桌的运动特征,选取折叠桌的四分之一为研究对象,建立任意角度下桌脚点的运动变化模型。考虑到产品稳固性、加工便利性和节约用材三方面对加工参数的影响,对折叠桌进行受力分析,得到多目标组合优化模型,用以确定出折叠桌的最优设计参数。针对用户提出的桌面形状要求,建立桌脚曲线的参数方程。作为模型推广,以椭圆状折叠桌为例,运用Matlab画出了桌脚边缘线在折叠过程中的动态变化示意图。同时,又深入研究Robert van Embricqs的滑动折叠桌,建立了新的桌脚曲线参数方程。最后,运用Matlab对多种形状折叠桌进行仿真,编写多目标优化算法,得出了最优加工参数,并进行了算法描述。     

Shape analysis of cubic trigonometric Bézier curves with a shape parameter

For the cubic trigonometric polynomial curves with a shape parameter (TB curves, for short), the effects of the shape parameter on the TB curve are made clear, the shape features of the TB curve are analyzed. The necessary and sufficient conditions are derived for these curves having single or double inflection points, a loop or a cusp, or be locally or globally convex. The results are summarized in a shape diagram of TB curves, which is useful when using TB curves for curve and surface modeling. Furthermore the influences of shape parameter on the shape diagram and the ability for adjusting the shape of the curve are shown by graph examples, respectively.     

The dual bases for the Bézier-Said-Wang type generalized Ball polynomial bases and their applications

A unifying representation for the existing generalized Ball bases and the Bernstein bases are given. Then the dual bases for the Bézier-Said-Wang type generalized bases (BSWGB for short) are presented. The Marsden identity and the mutual transformation formulas between Bézier curve and Bézier-Said-Wang type generalized curve (BSWGB curve) are also given. These results are very useful for the applications of BSWGB curves and their popularization in CAGD. Numerical examples are also given to show the effectiveness of our methods.     

Numerical realization of the conditions of Max Nther's residual intersection theorem

The aim of this paper is to study numerical realization of the conditions of Max Nther's residual intersection theorem. The numerical realization relies on obtaining the intersection of two algebraic curves by homotopy continuation method, computing the approximate places of an algebraic curve, getting the exact orders of a polynomial at the places, and determining the multiplicity and character of a point of an algebraic curve. The numerical experiments show that our method is accurate, effective and robust without using multiprecision arithmetic,even if the coefficients of algebraic curves are inexact. We also conclude that the computational complexity of the numerical realization is polynomial time.     

Sequences of harmonic maps in the 3‐sphere

We define two transforms of non‐conformal harmonic maps from a surface into the 3‐sphere. With these transforms one can construct, from one such harmonic map, a sequence of harmonic maps. We show that there is a correspondence between harmonic maps into the 3‐sphere, H‐surfaces in Euclidean 3‐space and almost complex surfaces in the nearly Kähler manifold . As a consequence we can construct sequences of H‐surfaces and almost complex surfaces.     

Nonexistence of global solutions for generalized Tricomi equations with combined nonlinearity

In the present paper, we investigate the blow-up dynamics for local solutions to the semilinear generalized Tricomi equation with combined nonlinearity. As a result, we enlarge the blow-up region in comparison to the ones for the corresponding semilinear models with either power nonlinearity or nonlinearity of derivative type. Our approach is based on an iteration argument to establish lower bound estimates for the space average of local solutions. Finally, we obtain upper bound estimates for the lifespan of local solutions as byproduct of our iteration argument.
