Estimation of a parameter of Morgenstern type bivariate exponential distribution by ranked set sampling

Ranked set sampling is applicable whenever ranking of a set of sampling units can be done easily by a judgement method or based on the measurement of an auxiliary variable on the units selected. In this work, we consider ranked set sampling, in which ranking of units are done based on measurements made on an easily and exactly measurable auxiliary variable X which is correlated with the study variable Y. We then estimate the mean of the study variate Y by the BLUE based on the measurements made on the units of the ranked set sampling regarding the study variable Y, when (X ,Y) follows a Morgenstern type bivariate exponential distribution. We then consider unbalanced multistage ranked set sampling and estimate the mean of the study variate Y by the BLUE based on the observations made on the units of multistage ranked set sample regarding the study variable Y. Efficiency comparison is also made on all estimators considered in this work.     

Adaptive selection of parameters for precise computation of matrix exponential based on padé approximation

讨论了基于Pad\'{e}逼近的矩阵指数精细积分方法中加权系数N 和展开项数q的自适应选择问题. 参数(N,q)的选择直接影响到矩阵指数计算的精度和效 率. 采用矩阵函数逼近理论，研究了参数N和q的增加对精度的影响程度，据此，提出了 参数(N,q)优化组合的递推自适应选择方法. 该方法可以根据矩阵本身的性态选择合适的参 数(N,q),而参数选择的计算量与矩阵指数的计算量相比几乎可以忽略，这对于增强矩阵指 数精细积分方法的适应性和提高计算效率是很有益处的. 算例验证了该方法的正确性和有效性.     

Exponential time integration using Krylov subspaces

The application of exponential integrators based on Krylov techniques to large‐scale simulations of complex fluid flows with multiple time‐scales demonstrates the efficiency of these schemes in reducing the associated time‐step restrictions due to numerical stiffness. Savings of approximately 50% can be achieved for simulations of the three‐dimensional compressible Navier–Stokes equations while still maintaining a truncation error typical of explicit time‐stepping schemes. Exponential time integration techniques of this type are particularly advantageous for fluid flows with a wide range of temporal scales such as low‐Mach number, reactive or acoustically dominated flows.

The Fredholm Alternative for Functional Differential Equations of Mixed Type

We prove a Fredholm alternative theorem for a class of asymptotically hyperbolic linear differential difference equations of mixed type. We also establish the cocycle property and the spectral flow property for such equations, providing an effective means of calculating the Fredholm index. Such systems can arise from equations which describe traveling waves in a spatial lattice.     

Willmore Functionals

We prove some integral inequalities for immersed tori in the three sphere. The functionals considered are generalizations of the Willmore functional.

     

Inequalities for formal power series and entire functions

We present several integral and exponential inequalities for formal power series and for both arbitrary entire functions of exponential type and generalized Borel transforms. They are obtained through certain limit procedures which involve the multiparameter binomial inequalities, integral inequalities for continuous functions, and weighted norm inequalities for analytic functions. Some applications to the confluent hypergeometric functions, Bessel functions, Laguerre polynomials, and trigonometric functions are discussed. Also some generalizations are given.
