This paper introduces a space of variable lotteries and proves a constructive version of the expected utility theorem. The word ``constructive'' is used here in two senses. First, as in constructive mathematics, the logic underlying proofs…
In this article we give some refinements of Simpson's Rule in cases when it is not applicable in it's classical form i.e., when the target function is not four times differentiable on a given interval. Some sharp two-sided inequalities for…
In this paper we present a short and elementary proof for the error in Simpson's rule.
Simple proofs of the midpoint, trapezoidal and Simpson's rules are proved for numerical integration on a compact interval. The integrand is assumed to be twice continuously differentiable for the midpoint and trapezoidal rules, and to be…
The Taylor expansion is a widely used and powerful tool in all branches of Mathematics, both pure and applied. In Probability and Mathematical Statistics, however, a stronger version of Taylor's classical theorem is often needed, but only…
In literature, the central limit theorems for the product of sums of various random variables have studied. The purpose of this note is to show that this kind of results are corollary of the invariance principle.
This paper presents a novel explanation of the cause of quantum probabilities and the Born rule based on the intuitionistic interpretation of quantum mechanics where propositions obey constructive (intuitionistic) logic. The use of…
A Lagrange multiplier theorem is derived for the case of an imprecise objective function and a precise constraint. The proof uses methods of analysis which deal in a direct, algebraic way with imprecisions. They include imprecise…
In a previous article [1] we presented an argument to obtain (or rather infer) Born's rule, based on a simple set of axioms named "Contexts, Systems and Modalities" (CSM). In this approach there is no "emergence", but the structure of…
The Born rule assigns a probability to any possible outcome of a quantum measurement, but leaves open the question how these probabilities are to be interpreted and, in particular, how they relate to the outcome observed in an actual…
In applied probability, the normal approximation is often used for the distribution of data with assumed additive structure. This tradition is based on the central limit theorem for sums of (independent) random variables. However, it is…
Let M(f) denote the Midpoint Rule and T(f) the Trapezoidal Rule for estimating integral_a^b f(x) dx. Then Simpson's Rule = tM(f) + (1-t)T(f), where t = 2/3. We generalize Simpson's Rule to multiple integrals as follows. Let D be some…
In recent years, a lot of research was devoted to Simpson's rule for numerical integration. In the paper we study a natural successor of Simpson's rule, namely the Boole's rule. It is the Newton-Cotes formula in the case where the interval…
This work is motivated by a paper of Davenport and Schmidt, which treats the question of when Dirichlet's theorems on the rational approximation of one or of two irrationals can be improved and if so, by how much. We consider a…
We obtain a strong invariance principle for nonconventional sums and applying this result we derive for them a version of the law of iterated logarithm, as well as an almost sure central limit theorem. Among motivations for such results are…
Modern experiments using nanoscale devices come ever closer to bridging the divide between the quantum and classical realms, bringing experimental tests of objective collapse theories that propose alterations to Schr\"{o}dinger's equation…
Proper scoring rules are methods for encouraging honest assessment of probability distributions. Just like likelihood, a proper scoring rule can be applied to supply an unbiased estimating equation for any statistical model, and the theory…
In this paper, an inequality of Simpson type for quasi-convex mappings are proved. The constant in the classical Simpson's inequality is improved. Furthermore, the obtained bounds can be (much) better than some recently obtained bounds.…
This paper provides theorems aimed at shedding light on issues in the foundations of quantum mechanics. These theorems can be used to propose new interpretations to the theory, or to better understand, evaluate and improve current…
In this paper, we derive a variant of the Taylor theorem to obtain a new minimized remainder. For a given function $f$ defined on the interval $[a,b]$, this formula is derived by introducing a linear combination of $f'$ computed at $n+1$…
