On the approximation of convex functions by Bernstein-type operators

As a consequence of Jensen's inequality, centered operators of probabilistic type (also called Bernstein-type operators) approximate convex functions from above. Starting from this fact, we consider several pairs of classical operators and determine, in each case, which one is better to approximate convex functions. In almost all the discussed examples, the conclusion follows from a simple argument concerning composition of operators. However, when comparing Szász-Mirakyan operators with Bernstein operators over the positive semi-axis, the result is derived from the convex ordering of the involved probability distributions. Analogous results for non-centered operators are also considered.     

弱混强平稳序列随机容量、随即秩次序统计量的极限分布律

设W(1n)W2(n)…W(nn)是严平稳随即序列{Xn,n 1}的前几个变量的顺序统计量,Nn Mn是两正整值r.v,n 1.在较弱一些的混合条件下,本文给出了W(NMn)n标准化后的极限分布,从而使一些提法更趋一般化,主要结果推进了Rao(1984)和张国胜(1993)的工作.由于混合条件的减弱,使得对m-相关和正态平稳过程的具体应用讨论更加充分.     

具非线性中立项的二阶时滞微分方程的振动性质

By using the averaging technique, we obtain new oscillation criteria for second order delay differential equation with nonlinear neutral term. These results generalize and improve some known results about neutral delay differential equation of second order.     

Algebraic structure of association schemes of prime order

Finite groups of prime order must be cyclic. It is natural to ask what about association schemes of prime order. In this paper, we will give an answer to this question. An association scheme of prime order is commutative, and its valencies of nontrivial relations and multiplicities of nontrivial irreducible characters are constant. Moreover, if we suppose that the minimal splitting field is an abelian extension of the field of rational numbers, then the character table is the same as that of a Schurian scheme.     

一个新的最优模糊存储模型

提出一个新的具有积压定单的关于模糊订购量的模糊存储模型.在模糊函数原理下,给出了模糊总存储成本.为了寻找最优解,把最优模糊存储模型转化为双目标最优化模型,利用L ingo8.0求解不等式约束问题,我们发现最优解都是确定的实数.此外,当模糊订购量和模糊总需求都是三角形(或权重均为1/2梯形)模糊数时,我们提出模型的最优解与经典的具有积压定单存储模型具有相同的结果.     

Single-period Two-product Inventory Model with Reorder and Substitution

In market, excess demands for many products can be met by reorder even during one period, and retailers usually adopt substitution strategy for more benefit. Under the retailer's substitution strategy and permission of reorder, we develop the profits maximization model for the two-substitutable-product inventory problem with stochastic demands and proportional costs and revenues. We show that the objective function is concave and submodular, and therefore the optimal policy exists. We present the optimal conditions for order quantity and provide some properties of the optimal order quantities. Comparing our model with Netessine and Rudi's, we prove that reorder and adoption of the substitution strategy can raise the general profits and adjust down the general stock level.     

Decision methods for linearly ordered Heyting algebras

The decision problem for positively quantified formulae in the theory of linearly ordered Heyting algebras is known, as a special case of work of Kreisel, to be solvable; a simple solution is here presented, inspired by related ideas in Gödel-Dummett logic.

OnQ-order andR-order of convergence

We give sufficient conditions for a sequence to have theQ-order and/or theR-order of convergence greater than one. If an additional condition is satisfied, then the sequence has an exactQ-order of convergence. We show that our results are sharp and we compare them with older results.This work was supported in part by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. DMS-85-03365.

线性规划问题的一种新的摄动法

在用单纯形方法解线性规划的问题时，不可避免会出现退化情况，而某些退化情况会导致循环。目前采用的避免循环的方法一共有两类：传统的摄动法（字典序）和Bland方法。本分析了传统摄动法的一些不足，给出了一种新的摄动法。
