On the structure of continuous uninorms

Paweł Drygaś (2007)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

Uninorms were introduced by Yager and Rybalov [13] as a generalization of triangular norms and conorms. We ask about properties of increasing, associative, continuous binary operation U in the unit interval with the neutral element e [ 0 , 1 ] . If operation U is continuous, then e = 0 or e = 1 . So, we consider operations which are continuous in the open unit square. As a result every associative, increasing binary operation with the neutral element e ( 0 , 1 ) , which is continuous in the open unit square may be...

Optimality conditions for maximizers of the information divergence from an exponential family

František Matúš (2007)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

The information divergence of a probability measure P from an exponential family over a finite set is defined as infimum of the divergences of P from Q subject to Q . All directional derivatives of the divergence from are explicitly found. To this end, behaviour of the conjugate of a log-Laplace transform on the boundary of its domain is analysed. The first order conditions for P to be a maximizer of the divergence from are presented, including new ones when P  is not projectable...

On Ozeki’s inequality for power sums

Horst Alzer (2000)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let p ( 0 , 1 ) be a real number and let n 2 be an even integer. We determine the largest value c n ( p ) such that the inequality i = 1 n | a i | p c n ( p ) holds for all real numbers a 1 , ... , a n which are pairwise distinct and satisfy min i j | a i - a j | = 1 . Our theorem completes results of Ozeki, Mitrinović-Kalajdžić, and Russell, who found the optimal value c n ( p ) in the case p > 0 and n odd, and in the case p 1 and n even.

Comparison of two methods for approximation of probability distributions with prescribed marginals

Albert Pérez, Milan Studený (2007)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

Let P be a discrete multidimensional probability distribution over a finite set of variables N which is only partially specified by the requirement that it has prescribed given marginals { P A ; A 𝒮 } , where 𝒮 is a class of subsets of N with 𝒮 = N . The paper deals with the problem of approximating P on the basis of those given marginals. The divergence of an approximation P ^ from P is measured by the relative entropy H ( P | P ^ ) . Two methods for approximating P are compared. One of them uses formerly introduced...

Stochastic control optimal in the Kullback sense

Jan Šindelář, Igor Vajda, Miroslav Kárný (2008)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

The paper solves the problem of minimization of the Kullback divergence between a partially known and a completely known probability distribution. It considers two probability distributions of a random vector ( u 1 , x 1 , ... , u T , x T ) on a sample space of 2 T dimensions. One of the distributions is known, the other is known only partially. Namely, only the conditional probability distributions of x τ given u 1 , x 1 , ... , u τ - 1 , x τ - 1 , u τ are known for τ = 1 , ... , T . Our objective is to determine the remaining conditional probability distributions of u τ ...
