A geometry on the space of probabilities (I). The finite dimensional case.

Henryk Gzyl, Lázaro Recht (2006)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

In this note we provide a natural way of defining exponential coordinates on the class of probabilities on the set Ω = [1,n] or on P = {p = (p1, ..., pn) ∈ Rn| pi > 0; Σi=1n pi = 1}. For that we have to regard P as a projective space and the exponential coordinates will be related to geodesic flows in Cn.

A geometry on the space of probabilities (II). Projective spaces and exponential families.

Henryk Gzyl, Lázaro Recht (2006)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

In this note we continue a theme taken up in part I, see [Gzyl and Recht: The geometry on the class of probabilities (I). The finite dimensional case. Rev. Mat. Iberoamericana 22 (2006), 545-558], namely to provide a geometric interpretation of exponential families as end points of geodesics of a non-metric connection in a function space. For that we characterize the space of probability densities as a projective space in the class of strictly positive functions, and these will be regarded as a...

A Komlós-type theorem for the set-valued Henstock-Kurzweil-Pettis integral and applications

Bianca Satco (2006)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

This paper presents a Komlós theorem that extends to the case of the set-valued Henstock-Kurzweil-Pettis integral a result obtained by Balder and Hess (in the integrably bounded case) and also a result of Hess and Ziat (in the Pettis integrability setting). As applications, a solution to a best approximation problem is given, weak compactness results are deduced and, finally, an existence theorem for an integral inclusion involving the Henstock-Kurzweil-Pettis set-valued integral is obtained.

A method for evaluating the fractal dimension in the plane, using coverings with crosses

Claude Tricot (2002)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Various methods may be used to define the Minkowski-Bouligand dimension of a compact subset E in the plane. The best known is the box method. After introducing the notion of ε-connected set E ε , we consider a new method based upon coverings of E ε with crosses of diameter 2ε. To prove that this cross method gives the fractal dimension for all E, the main argument consists in constructing a special pavement of the complementary set with squares. This method gives rise to a dimension formula using integrals,...
