Uniformly More Powerful, Two-Sided Tests for Hypotheses about Linear Inequalities

Let Xhave a multivariate, p-dimensional normal distribution (p 2) with unknown mean and known, nonsingular covariance . Consider testing H ₀ : b _i 0, for some i = 1,..., k, and b _i 0, for some i = 1,..., k, versus H ₁ : b _i < 0, for all i = 1,..., k, or b _i < 0, for all i = 1,..., k, where b ₁,..., b _k , k 2, are known vectors that define the hypotheses and suppose that for each i = 1,..., k there is an j {1,..., k} (j will depend on i) such that b _i b _j 0. For any 0 < < 1/2. We construct a test that has the same size as the likelihood ratio test (LRT) and is uniformly more powerful than the LRT. The proposed test is an intersection-union test. We apply the result to compare linear regression functions.     

Uniformly Packed Codes and More Distance Regular Graphs from Crooked Functions

The effect of the location of stage-I fatigue crack across the persistent slip band on its growth rate – A 3D dislocation dynamics study

Abstract

A 3D dislocation dynamics study to ascertain the probable path of stage-I fatigue crack propagation across the persistent slip band (PSB) in austenitic stainless steel is presented. Cyclic plasticity and the resulting crack tip slip displacement (CTSD) are evaluated for cracks of varying length introduced at PSB-center and at two PSB-matrix interfaces. CTSD attains high value at either of the two interfaces irrespective of the proximity of crack front to the grain boundary. Further, a difference in microcrack propagation rate is also observed among the two interfaces. The present results assert microcrack propagation preferrentially along one of the two PSB-matrix interfaces rather than at the PSB-center. A pre-existing PSB dislocation structure localises the cyclic slip for crack lengths up to approximately half of the grain depth for an applied strain range of 2 × 10^?4.

Strong convergence of an iterative method for non‐expansive mappings

Let E be a real reflexive Banach space having a weakly continuous duality mapping J_φ with a gauge function φ, and let K be a nonempty closed convex subset of E. Suppose that T is a non‐expansive mapping from K into itself such that F (T) ≠ ??. For an arbitrary initial value x₀ ∈ K and fixed anchor u ∈ K, define iteratively a sequence {x_n } as follows: x_{n +1} = α_n u + β_n x_n + γ_n Tx_n , n ≥ 0, where {α_n }, {β_n }, {γ_n } ? (0, 1) satisfies α_n +β_n + γ_n = 1, (C 1) lim_{n →∞} α_n = 0, (C 2) ∑^∞_{n =1} α_n = ∞ and (B) 0 < lim inf_{n →∞} β_n ≤ lim sup_{n →∞} β_n < 1. We prove that {x_n } converges strongly to Pu as n → ∞, where P is the unique sunny non‐expansive retraction of K onto F (T). We also prove that the same conclusions still hold in a uniformly convex Banach space with a uniformly Gâteaux differentiable norm or in a uniformly smooth Banach space. Our results extend and improve the corresponding ones by C. E. Chidume and C. O. Chidume [Iterative approximation of fixed points of non‐expansive mappings, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 318 , 288–295 (2006)], and develop and complement Theorem 1 of T. H. Kim and H. K. Xu [Strong convergence of modified Mann iterations, Nonlinear Anal. 61 , 51–60 (2005)].

The rate of convergence for the cyclic projections algorithm III: Regularity of convex sets

The cyclic projections algorithm is an important method for determining a point in the intersection of a finite number of closed convex sets in a Hilbert space. That is, for determining a solution to the “convex feasibility” problem. This is the third paper in a series on a study of the rate of convergence for the cyclic projections algorithm. In the first of these papers, we showed that the rate could be described in terms of the “angles” between the convex sets involved. In the second, we showed that these angles often had a more tractable formulation in terms of the “norm” of the product of the (nonlinear) metric projections onto related convex sets.In this paper, we show that the rate of convergence of the cyclic projections algorithm is also intimately related to the “linear regularity property” of Bauschke and Borwein, the “normal property” of Jameson (as well as Bakan, Deutsch, and Li’s generalization of Jameson’s normal property), the “strong conical hull intersection property” of Deutsch, Li, and Ward, and the rate of convergence of iterated parallel projections. Such properties have already been shown to be important in various other contexts as well.
