Measures of uncertainty and divergence are introduced for interval-valued probability distributions and are shown to have desirable mathematical properties. A maximum uncertainty inference procedure for marginal interval distributions is…
This note is an expanded and updated version of our entry with the same title for the 2006 Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics. We give a brief overview of graded Poisson algebras, their main properties and their main applications, in the…
In this paper, we develop interval estimation methods for means of bounded random variables based on a sequential procedure such that the sampling is continued until the sample sum is no less than a prescribed threshold.
The interval numbers is the set of compact intervals of $\mathbb{R}$ with addition and multiplication operation, which are very useful for solving calculations where there are intervals of error or uncertainty, however, it lacks an…
This short note contains some definitions and formulas about the power of an observable in statistically separating different classes of events.
In this lecture notes we try to familiarize the audience with the theory of Bernoulli polynomials; we study their properties, and we give, with proofs and references, some of the most relevant results related to them. Several applications…
Scaling arguments provide valuable analysis tools across physics and complex systems yet are often employed as one generic method, without explicit reference to the various mathematical concepts underlying them. A careful understanding of…
The aim of this paper is to present a self contained introduction to the Hubbard model and some of its applications.The paper consists of two parts: the first will introduce the basic notions of the Hubbard model starting from the…
In this pedagogical text aimed at those wanting to start thinking about or brush up on probabilistic inference, I review the rules by which probability distribution functions can (and cannot) be combined. I connect these rules to the…
We show a possibility to apply certain philosophical concepts to the analysis of concrete mathematical structures. Such application gives a clear justification of topological and geometric properties of considered mathematical objects.
We consider motion in a periodic potential in a classical, quantum, and semiclassical context. Various results on the distribution of asymptotic velocities are proven.
Matrices are very popular and widely used in mathematics and other fields of science. Every mathematician has known the properties of finite-sized matrices since the time of study. In this paper, we consider the basic theory of infnite…
The paper considers estimates for some sums and products of functions of prime numbers. Several assertions on this topic have been proven. We also study extremal estimates for strongly additive and strongly multiplicative arithmetic…
These lecture notes were written with the aim to provide an accessible though technically solid introduction to the logic of systematical analyses of statistical data to both undergraduate and postgraduate students, in particular in the…
Novel analytic solutions are derived for integrals that involve the generalized Marcum Q-function, exponential functions and arbitrary powers. Simple closed-form expressions are also derived for the specific cases of the generic integrals.…
We consider the functions in two variables on an arbitrary poset, for which the convolution operation is defined. We obtain the generalization of incidence algebra and describe its properties: invertibility, the Jackobson radical,…
The representation theory (idempotents, quivers, Cartan invariants and Loewy series) of the higher order unital peak algebras is investigated. On the way, we obtain new interpretations and generating functions for the idempotents of descent…
Based on a simple example, it is explained how the homological analysis may be applied for modeling of the electric circuits. The homological branch, mesh and nodal analyses are presented. Geometrical interpretations are given.
This essay looks at decision-making with interval-valued probability measures. Existing decision methods have either supplemented expected utility methods with additional criteria of optimality, or have attempted to supplement the…
This is an introduction to calculus, and its applications to basic questions from physics. We first discuss the theory of functions $f:\mathbb R\to\mathbb R$, with the notion of continuity, and the construction of the derivative $f'(x)$ and…
