We provide a new approach to determine all differentiable functions whose mean value abscissas are Stolarsky means of endpoints.
We start to investigate how small changes on the definition of ordinary means affect their properties. Especially the property of being a mean. In that direction we are looking for weakenings of the basic defining property of means. Hence…
We extend the definitions of upper and lower valuations on partially ordered sets, and consider the metrics they induce, in particular the metrics available (or not) based on the logarithms of such valuations. Motivating applications in…
Inferential models have been proposed for valid and efficient prior-free probabilistic inference. As it gradually gained popularity, this theory is subject to further developments for practically challenging problems. This paper considers…
We are going to classify sets by a given mean in two ways. Firstly we study small and big sets regarding a given mean. Secondly we study sets that have the same weight according to a mean. We also generalize the notion of roundness and get…
We introduce a new type of means. It is new in two ways: its domain consists of sets and its values are sets too. We investigate the properties and behavior of such generalization. We also present many naturally arisen examples for such…
Each family $\mathcal{M}$ of means has a natural, partial order (point-wise order), that is $M \le N$ iff $M(x) \le N(x)$ for all admissible $x$. In this setting we can introduce the notion of interval-type set (a subset $\mathcal{I}…
The aim of this paper is to introduce several notions of homogenization in various classes of weighted means, which include quasiarithmetic and semideviation means. In general, the homogenization is an operator which attaches a homogeneous…
We prove mean comparison from a different perspective, where we introduce the concept of partial convolution.
Some partial orderings which compare probability distributions with the expo- nential distribution, are found to be very useful to understand the phenomenon of ageing. Here, we introduce some new generalized partial orderings which de-…
Based on collection of bijections, variable and function are extended into ``isomorphic variable'' and ``dual-variable-isomorphic function'', then mean values such as arithmetic mean and mean of a function are extended to ``isomorphic…
The many-normal-means problem is a classic example that motivates the development of many important inferential procedures in the history of statistics. In this short note, we consider a further special case of the problem, which involves…
A new class of Semantic Numeration Systems, namely, positive rational Semantic Numeration Systems is introduced. For cardinal semantic operators, differences in the formation of carry (common carry) and remainders are defined. The…
The first steps towards linearisation of partial orders and equivalence relations are described. The definitions of partial orders and equivalence relations (on sets) are formulated in a way that is standard in category theory and that…
The paper describes a parser for Categorial Grammar which provides fully word by word incremental interpretation. The parser does not require fragments of sentences to form constituents, and thereby avoids problems of spurious ambiguity.…
We will investigate proof-theoretic and linguistic aspects of first-order linear logic. We will show that adding partial order constraints in such a way that each sequent defines a unique linear order on the antecedent formulas of a sequent…
The influence of class orderings in the evaluation of incremental learning has received very little attention. In this paper, we investigate the impact of class orderings for incrementally learned classifiers. We propose a method to compute…
Equality of the second order arithmetic means of two principal ideals does not imply equality of their first order arithmetic means (second order equality cancellation). We provide fairly broad sufficient conditions on one of the principal…
We study generalized means whose domain may contain unbounded sets as well. We investigate usual properties of this type of means and also new attributes that regard for such means only. We examine how a mean defined on bounded sets can be…
Characterizations of the star, minus and diamond orders of operators are given in various contexts and the relationship between these orders is made more transparent. Moreover, we introduce a new partial order of operators which provides a…
