A modification of perturbation theory, known as delta-expansion (variationally improved perturbation), gave rigorously convergent series in some D=1 models (oscillator energy levels) with factorially divergent ordinary perturbative…
A general conversion strategy by involving a shifted parameter $\theta$ is proposed to construct high-order accuracy difference formulas for fractional calculus operators. By converting the second-order backward difference formula with such…
The estimation of a density profile from experimental data points is a challenging problem, usually tackled by plotting a histogram. Prior assumptions on the nature of the density, from its smoothness to the specification of its form, allow…
We prove that almost all real numbers (with respect to Lebesgue measure) are approximated by the convergents of their $\beta$-expansions with the exponential order $\beta^{-n}$. Moreover, the Hausdorff dimensions of sets of the real numbers…
We study lower bounds for the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ along vertical arithmetic progressions in the right-half of the critical strip. We show that the lower bounds obtained in the discrete case coincide, up to the constants in the…
The aim of this paper is to clarify the relation between three different approaches of theories with a minimal length scale: A modification of the Lorentz-group in the 'Deformed Special Relativity', theories with a 'Generalized Uncertainty…
Motivated by applications to prediction and forecasting, we suggest methods for approximating the conditional distribution function of a random variable Y given a dependent random d-vector X. The idea is to estimate not the distribution of…
We obtain a relatively simple criterion for when a forcing has the ${<}\,\delta$-approximation property, generalizing a result of Unger. Afterwards we apply this criterion to construct variants of Mitchell Forcing in order to answer…
Multiplicative logarithmic corrections frequently characterize critical behaviour in statistical physics. Here, a recently proposed theory relating the exponents of such terms is extended to account for circumstances which often occur when…
We extend the {\lambda}-calculus with constructs suitable for relational and functional-logic programming: non-deterministic choice, fresh variable introduction, and unification of expressions. In order to be able to unify…
Although an input distribution may not majorize a target distribution, it may majorize a distribution which is close to the target. Here we introduce a notion of approximate majorization. For any distribution, and given a distance $\delta$,…
In this paper the local order of convergence used in iterative methods to solve nonlinear systems of equations is revisited, where shorter alternative analytic proofs of the order based on developments of multilineal functions are shown.…
In this paper, we give corrected and improved definitions of the sets $S$ and $\Delta$ compared to [1]. By using these new definitions, we go throughout the proof of the main result in [1], and we correct it.
This paper focuses on the strong convergence of the truncated $\theta$-Milstein method for a class of nonautonomous stochastic differential delay equations whose drift and diffusion coefficients can grow polynomially. The convergence rate,…
The paper demonstrates that strict adherence to probability theory does not preclude the use of concurrent, self-activated constraint-propagation mechanisms for managing uncertainty. Maintaining local records of sources-of-belief allows…
Exact formulas are derived for the probability density functions of the sum and difference of two independent non-central gamma distributed random variables, with both series and integral representations of the density presented. These…
We completely characterize $\Delta$- and local subexponentialities of positive-half compound Poisson distributions and extend the characterization on two-sided distributions. Moreover, $\Delta$-subexponentiality of infinitely divisible…
We propose and discuss sensitivity metrics for reliability analysis, which are based on the value of information. These metrics are easier to interpret than other existing sensitivity metrics in the context of a specific decision and they…
It has been recently pointed out that dynamical systems depending on future values of the unknowns may be useful in different areas of knowledge. We explore in this context the extension of the concept of order reduction that has been…
In this paper we discuss a closed-form approximation of the likelihood functions of an arbitrary diffusion process. The approximation is based on an exponential ansatz of the transition probability for a finite time step $\Delta t$, and a…
