SOME COMPARISONS BETWEEN GENERALIZED ORDER STATISTICS

Some stochastic comparisons of generalized order statistics under the right spread order,the location independent riskier order and the total time transform order are investigated in this paper.The underlying distributions and parameters on which generalized order statistics are based are also surveyed to obtain the conditions for increasing the expectations of spacings between the first two generalized order statistics and between the last two generalized order statistics.

A weak law for normed weighted sums of random elements in rademacher type p banach spaces

For weighted sums Σ_{j = 1}ⁿa_jV_j of independent random elements {V_n, n ≥ 1} in real separable, Rademacher type p (1 ≤ p ≤ 2) Banach spaces, a general weak law of large numbers of the form (Σ_{j = 1}ⁿa_jV_j − v_n)/b_n →^p 0 is established, where {v_n, n ≥ 1} and b_n → ∞ are suitable sequences. It is assumed that {V_n, n ≥ 1} is stochastically dominated by a random element V, and the hypotheses involve both the behavior of the tail of the distribution of |V| and the growth behaviors of the constants {a_n, n ≥ 1} and {b_n, n ≥ 1}. No assumption is made concerning the existence of expected values or absolute moments of the {V_n, n >- 1}.     

Non-linear radial oscillations of a transversely isotropic hyperelastic incompressible tube

The constitutive equation for a transversely isotropic incompressible hyperelastic material is written in a covariant form for arbitrary orientation of the anisotropic director. Three non-linear differential equations are derived for radial oscillations in radial, tangential and longitudinal transversely isotropic thin-walled cylindrical tubes of generalised Mooney-Rivlin material. A Lie point symmetry analysis is performed. The conditions on the strain-energy function and on the net applied surface pressure for Lie point symmetries to exist are determined. For radial and tangential transversely isotropic tubes the differential equations are reduced to Abel equations of the second kind. Radial oscillations in a longitudinal transversely isotropic tube and in an isotropic tube are described by the Ermakov-Pinney equation.     

A two-sided estimate in the Hsu-Robbins-Erdös law of large numbers

Let X₁, X₂, … be independent identically distributed random variables. Then, Hsu and Robbins (1947) together with Erdös (1949, 1950) have proved that

if and only if E[X²₁] < ∞ and E[X₁] = 0. We prove that there are absolute constants C₁, C₂ (0, ∞) such that if X₁, X₂, … are independent identically distributed mean zero random variables, then

for every λ > 0.     

Evolution towards the Maximum Clique

As is well known, the problem of finding a maximum clique in a graph isNP-hard. Nevertheless, NP-hard problems may have easy instances. This paperproposes a new, global optimization algorithm which tries to exploit favourabledata constellations, focussing on the continuous problem formulation: maximizea quadratic form over the standard simplex. Some general connections of thelatter problem with dynamic principles of evolutionary game theory areestablished. As an immediate consequence, one obtains a procedure whichconsists (a) of an iterative part similar to interior-path methods based on theso-called replicator dynamics; and (b) a routine to escape from inefficient,locally optimal solutions. For the special case of finding a maximum clique ina graph where the quadratic form arises from a regularization of the adjacencematrix, part (b), i.e. escaping from maximal cliques not of maximal size, isaccomplished with block pivoting methods based on (large) independent sets,i.e. cliques of the complementary graph. A simulation study is included whichindicates that the resulting procedure indeed has some merits.

Complete convergence for arrays

Let {(X _nk , 1≤k≤n),n≥1}, be an array of rowwise independent random variables. We extend and generalize some recent results due to Hu, Móricz and Taylor concerning complete convergence, in the sense of Hsu and Robbins, of the sequence of rowwise arithmetic means.     

The first,the biggest,and other such considerations

We investigate the relation between the underlying dynamics of randomly evolv ing systems and the extrema statistics for such systems. Independent processes, Fokker-Planck processes and Lévy processes are considered.     

The topological optimization for truss structures with stress constraints based on the exist-null combined model

A new exist-null combined model is proposed for the structural topology optimization. The model is applied to the topology optimization of the truss with stress constraints. Satisfactory computational result can be obtained with more rapid and more stable convergence as compared with the cross-sectional optimization. This work also shows that the presence of independent and continuous topological variable motivates the research of structural topology optimization.
