A Note on the “Constructing” of Nonstationary Methods for Solving Nonlinear Equations with Raised Speed of Convergence

Kyurkchiev, Nikolay, Iliev, Anton (2009)

Serdica Journal of Computing

This paper is partially supported by project ISM-4 of Department for Scientific Research, “Paisii Hilendarski” University of Plovdiv.In this paper we give methodological survey of “contemporary methods” for solving the nonlinear equation f(x) = 0. The reason for this review is that many authors in present days rediscovered such classical methods. Here we develop one methodological schema for constructing nonstationary methods with a preliminary chosen speed of convergence.

A note on the IPF algorithm when the marginal problem is unsolvable

Claudio Asci, Mauro Piccioni (2003)

Kybernetika

In this paper we analyze the asymptotic behavior of the IPF algorithm for the problem of finding a 2x2x2 contingency table whose pair marginals are all equal to a specified 2x2 table, depending on a parameter. When this parameter lies below a certain threshold the marginal problem has no solution. We show that in this case the IPF has a “period three limit cycle” attracting all positive initial tables, and a bifurcation occur when the parameter crosses the threshold.

A note on the likelihood and moments of the skew-normal distribution.

Eliseo Martínez, Héctor Varela, Héctor W. Gómez, Heleno Bolfarine (2008)

SORT

In this paper an alternative approach to the one in Henze (1986) is proposed for deriving the odd moments of the skew-normal distribution considered in Azzalini (1985). The approach is based on a Pascal type triangle, which seems to greatly simplify moments computation. Moreover, it is shown that the likelihood equation for estimating the asymmetry parameter in such model is generated as orthogonal functions to the sample vector. As a consequence, conditions for a unique solution of the likelihood...

A note on the rate of convergence for Chebyshev-Lobatto and Radau systems

Elías Berriochoa, Alicia Cachafeiro, Jaime Díaz, Eduardo Martínez (2016)

Open Mathematics

This paper is devoted to Hermite interpolation with Chebyshev-Lobatto and Chebyshev-Radau nodal points. The aim of this piece of work is to establish the rate of convergence for some types of smooth functions. Although the rate of convergence is similar to that of Lagrange interpolation, taking into account the asymptotic constants that we obtain, the use of this method is justified and it is very suitable when we dispose of the appropriate information.
