Multi-valued totally quasi-ϕ-asymptotically nonexpansive semi-groups and strong convergence theorems in banach spaces

The purpose of this article is first to introduce the concept of multi-valued totally Quasi?-asymptotically nonexpansive semi-groups, which contains many kinds of semi-groups as its special cases, and then to modify the Halpern-Mann-type iteration algorithm for multi-valued totally Quasi?-asymptotically nonexpansive semi-groups to have the strong convergence under a limit condition only in the framework of Banach spaces. The results presented in this article improve and extend the corresponding results announced by many authors recently.     

Environmental Effects on the Mechanical Properties of Glass-FRP and Aramid-FRP Rebars

In the paper, the experimental results on the effect of temperature and moisture on the mechanical properties of FRP (Fiber-Reinforced Polymer) reinforcements are presented. FRP rebars made from glass and aramid fibers were subjected to cyclic thermal actions at temperatures ranging between 20 and 70°C, typical of natural hot-climate environments. Tensile tests were also carried out on FRP rebars. The effect of moisture was investigated by cyclic wetting and drying the FRP rebars under laboratory conditions before their testing in tension. Finally, the elastic modulus and tensile strength of the FRP rebars exposed to these cyclic actions were compared with those obtained for unexposed ones, in order to evaluate the mechanical damage caused by environmental conditions.     

Combinatorial data analysis: Confirmatory comparisons between sets of matrices

The task of assessing the similarity of pattern between the entries of two square matrices has been discussed extensively over the last decade, as a unifying strategy for approaching a variety of seemingly disparate statistical problems. As typically defined, the comparison depends on a measure of matrix correspondence, usually a normalized cross-product measure of some form, that is evaluated for relative size by the use of a reference distribution constructed through an equally likely permutation hypothesis defined at the level of the objects corresponding to the rows and columns of the two matrices. The extreme generality provided by this very simple framework subsumes a variety of different statistical problems, ranging from the study of spatial autocorrelation for variables observed over a set of geographic locations, to the topics of analysis of variance, the measurement of rank correlation, and confirmation techniques concerned with various conjectures of combinatorial structure that might be posited for an empirically determined measure of relationship between pairs of a given set of objects. The comparison strategies extant always assume that both matrices are fixed, and in those cases where one of the matrices codifies a given theoretical structure to be evaluated according to a second, this assumption can lead to substantial arbitrariness in how matrix similarity might be indexed, and thus, in how the comparison is implemented. As developed in this paper, exactly the same principles appropriate for use in the fixed comparison context can be extended to include matrices constructed through optimally weighted linear combinations of other sets of matrices. This generalization provides one mechanism for developing comparison strategies that allow assessment against very broad classes of matrices, which in turn serve to represent very general conjectures of possible combinatorial structure. This paper reviews some of these extensions in detail, with a particular emphasis on categorical and ordered categorical variables and whether they may reflect an empirically generated measure of object relationship.     

On the effectiveness of a generalization of Miller’s primality theorem

Berrizbeitia and Olivieri showed in a recent paper that, for any integer r$r$, the notion of ω$\omega$-prime to base a$a$ leads to a primality test for numbers n≡1$n\equiv 1$ mod r$r$, that under the Extended Riemann Hypothesis (ERH) runs in polynomial time. They showed that the complexity of their test is at most the complexity of the Miller primality test (MPT), which is O((logn)^4+o(1))$O\left({(logn)}^{4+o\left(1\right)}\right)$. They conjectured that their test is more effective than the MPT if r$r$ is large.     

Strong approximations of the Hoeffding,Blum, Kiefer,Rosenblatt multivariate empirical process

Hoeffding (Ann. Math. Statist. 1948) and Blum, Kiefer and Rosenblatt (Ann. Math. Statist. 1961) constructed distribution free tests of independence based on a multivariate empirical process. We establish strong invariance principles for the latter and also for appropriate functionals of it.

Strong Convergence Theorems for a Countable Family of Multi-Valued Bregman Quasi-Nonexpansive Mappings in Reflexive Banach Spaces

This article uses the shrinking projection method introduced by Takahashi, Kubota and Takeuchi to propose an iteration algorithm for a countable family of Bregman multi-valued quasi-nonexpansive mappings in order to have the strong convergence under a limit condition in the framework of reflexive Banach spaces. We apply our results to a zero point problem of maximal monotone mappings and equilibrium problems in reflexive Banach spaces. The results presented in the article improve and extend the corresponding results of that found in the literature.     

Local Power Properties of Kernel Based Goodness of Fit Tests

If (X_i, i ) is a strictly stationary process with marginal density function f, we are interested in testing the hypothesis H₀: {f=f₀}, where f₀ is given. We consider different test statistics based on integrated quadratic forms measuring the proximity between f_n, a kernel estimator of f, and f₀, or between f_n and its expected value computed under H₀. We study the asymptotic local power properties of the testing procedures under local alternatives. This study generalizes to the multidimensional case in a context of dependence the corresponding one made by P. J. Bickel and M. Rosenblatt in 1973 (Ann. Statist.1, 1071–1095).
