Uniqueness of very singular self-similar solution of a quasilinear degenerate parabolic equation with absorption.

We show the uniqueness of the very singular self-similar solution of the equation ut - Δ pum + uq = 0. The result is carried out by studying the stationary associate equation and by introducing a suitable change of unknown. That allows to assume the zero-order perturbation term in the new equation to be monotone increasing. A careful study of the behaviour...

Estimating the extremal index through the tail dependence concept

Marta Ferreira (2015)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

The extremal index Θ is an important parameter in extreme value analysis when extending results from independent and identically distributed sequences to stationary ones. A connection between the extremal index and the tail dependence coefficient allows the introduction of new estimators. The proposed ones are easy to compute and we analyze their performance through a simulation study. Comparisons with other existing methods are also presented. Case studies within environment are considered...
