Mathematics Subject Classification: 26A33, 30B10, 33B15, 44A10, 47N70, 94C05We suggest a fractional differential equation that combines the simple
harmonic oscillations of an LC circuit with the discharging of an RC circuit.
A series solution is obtained for the suggested fractional differential
equation. When the fractional order α = 0, we get the solution for the RC
circuit, and when α = 1, we get the solution for the LC circuit. For arbitrary
α we get a general solution which shows how the...
To study the asymptotic properties of entropy estimates, we use a unified expression, called the -entropy. Asymptotic distributions for these statistics are given in several cases when maximum likelihood estimators are considered, so they can be used to construct confidence intervals and to test statistical hypotheses based on one or more samples. These results can also be applied to multinomial populations.
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...
