Monotone (co)inductive types and positive fixed-point types

Ralph Matthes (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

We study five extensions of the polymorphically typed lambda-calculus (system ) by type constructs intended to model fixed-points of monotone operators. Building on work by Geuvers concerning the relation between term rewrite systems for least pre-fixed-points and greatest post-fixed-points of positive type schemes (, non-nested positive inductive and coinductive types) and so-called retract types, we show that there are reduction-preserving embeddings even between systems of monotone...

Exponential deficiency of convolutions of densities

Iosif Pinelis (2012)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

If a probability density (x) (x ∈ ℝ) is bounded and := ∫e (x)dx < ∞ for some linear functional u and all  ∈ (01), then, for each  ∈ (01) and all large enough , the -fold convolution of the -tilted density p ˜ t ˜pt := e (x)/ is bounded. This is a corollary of a general, “non-i.i.d.” result, which is also shown to enjoy a certain optimality property. Such results and their corollaries stated in terms of the absolute integrability of the corresponding characteristic...

Hereditary properties of words

József Balogh, Béla Bollobás (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

Let be a hereditary property of words, , an infinite class of finite words such that every subword (block) of a word belonging to is also in . Extending the classical Morse-Hedlund theorem, we show that either contains at least words of length for every  or, for some , it contains at most words of length for every . More importantly, we prove the following quantitative extension of this result: if has words of length then, for every , it contains at most ⌈( + 1)/2⌉⌈( + 1)/2⌈...

On the distribution of characteristic parameters of words II

Arturo Carpi, Aldo de Luca (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

The characteristic parameters and of a word over a finite alphabet are defined as follows: is the minimal natural number such that has no repeated suffix of length and is the minimal natural number such that has no right special factor of length . In a previous paper, published on this journal, we have studied the distributions of these parameters, as well as the distribution...

Upper large deviations for maximal flows through a tilted cylinder

Marie Theret (2014)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

We consider the standard first passage percolation model in ℤ for  ≥ 2 and we study the maximal flow from the upper half part to the lower half part (respectively from the top to the bottom) of a cylinder whose basis is a hyperrectangle of sidelength proportional to and whose height is () for a certain height function . We denote this maximal flow by (respectively ). We emphasize the fact that the cylinder may be tilted. We look at the probability that...

Depth Lower Bounds for Monotone Semi-Unbounded Fan-in Circuits

Jan Johannsen (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

The depth hierarchy results for monotone circuits of Raz and McKenzie [5] are extended to the case of monotone circuits of semi-unbounded fan-in. It follows that the inclusions ⊆ ⊆ are proper in the monotone setting, for every ≥ 1.

Plug-in estimation of level sets in a non-compact setting with applications in multivariate risk theory

Elena Di Bernardino, Thomas Laloë, Véronique Maume-Deschamps, Clémentine Prieur (2013)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

This paper deals with the problem of estimating the level sets () =  {() ≥ }, with  ∈ (0,1), of an unknown distribution function on ℝ . A plug-in approach is followed. That is, given a consistent estimator of , we estimate () by () =  { () ≥ }. In our setting, non-compactness property is required for the level sets to estimate. We state consistency results with respect to the Hausdorff distance and the volume of the symmetric...

Fix a polynomial of the form () = + ∑2≤≤    =1 with (1) gt; 0.

As a consequence, if  = ( ,, ) is a -valued random variable with absolutely continuous law, then almost surely (()) has a unique –mean. In particular if ( ...

Let () be independent identically distributed bivariate vectors and , are two linear forms with positive coefficients. We study two problems: under what conditions does the equidistribution of and imply the same property for and , and under what conditions does the independence of and entail independence of and ? Some analytical sufficient conditions...

Similarity:

Let and be two compact spaces endowed with respective measures and satisfying the condition . Let be a continuous function on the product space . The mass transfer problem consists in determining a measure on whose marginals coincide with and , and such that the total cost be minimized. We first show that if the cost function is decomposable, i.e., can be represented as the sum of two continuous functions defined on and , respectively, then every feasible measure is optimal....
