Entropic Projections and Dominating Points

Christian Léonard (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Entropic projections and dominating points are solutions to convex minimization problems related to conditional laws of large numbers. They appear in many areas of applied mathematics such as statistical physics, information theory, mathematical statistics, ill-posed inverse problems or large deviation theory. By means of convex conjugate duality and functional analysis, criteria are derived for the existence of entropic projections, generalized entropic projections and dominating points.

Erlang distributed activity times in stochastic activity networks

Yousry H. Abdelkader (2003)

Kybernetika

It is assumed that activity times in stochastic activity networks (SANs) are independent Erlang random variable (r.v.). A recurrence method of determining the k th moments of the completion time is presented. Applications are provided for illustration and are used to evaluate the applicability and appropriateness of the Erlang model to represent activity network.
