Optimal multiphase transportation with prescribed momentum

Yann Brenier, Marjolaine Puel (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

A multiphase generalization of the Monge–Kantorovich optimal transportation problem is addressed. Existence of optimal solutions is established. The optimality equations are related to classical Electrodynamics.

Some superconvergence results of high-degree finite element method for a second order elliptic equation with variable coefficients

Xiaofei Guan, Mingxia Li, Wenming He, Zhengwu Jiang (2014)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

In this paper, some superconvergence results of high-degree finite element method are obtained for solving a second order elliptic equation with variable coefficients on the inner locally symmetric mesh with respect to a point x 0 for triangular meshes. By using of the weak estimates and local symmetric technique, we obtain improved discretization errors of O(h p+1 |ln h|2) and O(h p+2 |ln h|2) when p (≥ 3) is odd and p (≥ 4) is even, respectively. Meanwhile, the results show that the...

A study of the number of solutions of the system of the log-likelihood equations for the 3-parameter Weibull distribution

George Tzavelas (2012)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

The maximum likelihood estimators of the parameters for the 3-parameter Weibull distribution do not always exist. Furthermore, computationally it is difficult to find all the solutions. Thus, the case of missing some solutions and among them the maximum likelihood estimators cannot be excluded. In this paper we provide a simple rule with help of which we are able to know if the system of the log-likelihood equations has even or odd number of solutions. It is a useful tool for the detection...
