Monotonicity of certain functionals under rearrangement

Adriano Garsia, Eugène Rodemich (1974)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We show here that a wide class of integral inequalities concerning functions on [ 0 , 1 ] can be obtained by purely combinatorial methods. More precisely, we obtain modulus of continuity or other high order norm estimates for functions satisfying conditions of the type 0 1 0 1 Ψ f ( x ) - f ( y ) p ( x - y ) d x d y < where Ψ ( u ) and p ( u ) are monotone increasing functions of | u | .Several applications are also derived. In particular these methods are shown to yield a new condition for path continuity of general stochastic processes

Nonlinear contractive conditions: A comparison and related problems

Jacek Jachymski, Izabela Jóźwik (2007)

Banach Center Publications

We establish five theorems giving lists of nonlinear contractive conditions which turn out to be mutually equivalent. We derive them from some general lemmas concerning subsets of the plane which may be applied both in the single- or set-valued case as well as for a family of mappings. A separation theorem for concave functions is proved as an auxiliary result. Also, we discuss briefly the following problems for several classes of contractions: stability of procedure of successive approximations,...

Nonparametric recursive aggregation process

Elena Tsiporkova, Veselka Boeva (2004)

Kybernetika

In this work we introduce a nonparametric recursive aggregation process called Multilayer Aggregation (MLA). The name refers to the fact that at each step the results from the previous one are aggregated and thus, before the final result is derived, the initial values are subjected to several layers of aggregation. Most of the conventional aggregation operators, as for instance weighted mean, combine numerical values according to a vector of weights (parameters). Alternatively, the MLA operators...
