New Hadamard type inequalities for a class of \(s\)-Godunova-Levin functions of the second kind for fractional integrals are obtained. These new estimates extend and generalize some existing results for the \(Q\)-class and \(P\)-class functions. The generalized case for the Katugampola fractional integrals are also given.
For any non-square integer multiplier \(k\), there is an infinity of triangular numbers multiple of other triangular numbers. We analyze the congruence properties of indices \(\xi\) of triangular numbers multiple of triangular numbers. Remainders in congruence relations \(\xi\) modulo \(k\) come always in pairs whose sum always equal \((k-1)\), always include 0 and \((k-1)\), and only 0 and \((k-1)\) if \(k\) is prime, or an odd power of a prime, or an even square plus one or an odd square minus one or minus two. If the multiplier \(k\) is twice the triangular number of \(n\), the set of remainders includes also \(n\) and \((n^{2}-1)\) and if \(k\) has integer factors, the set of remainders include multiples of a factor following certain rules. Algebraic expressions are found for remainders in function of \(k\) and its factors, with several exceptions. This approach eliminates those \(\xi\) values not providing solutions.
It is well known that Hoeffding’s inequality has a lot of applications in the signal and information processing fields. How to improve Hoeffding’s inequality and find the refinements of its applications have always attracted much attentions. An improvement of Hoeffding inequality was recently given by Hertz [1]. Eventhough such an improvement is not so big, it still can be used to update many known results with original Hoeffding’s inequality, especially for Hoeffding-Azuma inequality for martingales. However, the results in original Hoeffding’s inequality and its refined version by Hertz only considered the first order moment of random variables. In this paper, we present a new type of Hoeffding’s inequalities, where the high order moments of random variables are taken into account. It can get some considerable improvements in the tail bounds evaluation compared with the known results. It is expected that the developed new type Hoeffding’s inequalities could get more interesting applications in some related fields that use Hoeffding’s results.
This paper is devoted to the analytical treatment of trinomial equations of the form \(y^n+y=x,\) where \(y\) is the unknown and \(x\in\mathbb{C}\) is a free parameter. It is well-known that, for degree \(n\geq 5,\) algebraic equations cannot be solved by radicals; nevertheless, roots are described in terms of univariate hypergeometric or elliptic functions. This classical piece of research was founded by Hermite, Kronecker, Birkeland, Mellin and Brioschi, and continued by many other Authors. The approach mostly adopted in recent and less recent papers on this subject (see [1,2] for example) requires the use of power series, following the seminal work of Lagrange [3]. Our intent is to revisit the trinomial equation solvers proposed by the Italian mathematician Davide Besso in the late nineteenth century, in consideration of the fact that, by exploiting computer algebra, these methods take on an applicative and not purely theoretical relevance.
This article proposes a new unit distribution based on the power-logarithmic scheme. The corresponding cumulative distribution function is defined by a special ratio of power and logarithmic functions that is dependent on one parameter. We show that this function benefits from great flexibility characterized by a large selection of convex and concave shapes. The other key functions are determined and studied. In particular, we show that the probability density function may take on different decreasing or U shapes, and the hazard rate function has a wide panel of U shapes. These functional capabilities are rare for a one-parameter unit distribution. In addition, we prove certain stochastic order results, provide the expression of the quantile function via the Lambert function, some interesting distributional results, and give simple expressions for the ordinary moments, mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis, moment generating function and incomplete moments. Subsequently, a basic statistical approach is described, to show how the new distribution can be applied in a data analysis scenario. Finally, complementary mathematical findings are presented, yielding new integrals linked to the Euler constant via some well-known moments properties.
We determine a radius of convergence for an efficient iterative method with frozen derivatives to solve Banach space defined equations. Our convergence analysis use \(\omega-\) continuity conditions only on the first derivative. Earlier studies have used hypotheses up to the seventh derivative, limiting the applicability of the method. Numerical examples complete the article.
In this paper, we aim to introduce a new notion of convex functions namely the harmonic \(s\)-type convex functions. The refinements of Ostrowski type inequality are investigated which are the generalized and extended variants of the previously known results for harmonic convex functions.
The present study proposes a generalized mean estimator for a sensitive variable using a non-sensitive auxiliary variable in the presence of measurement errors based on the Randomized Response Technique (RRT). Expressions for the bias and mean squared error for the proposed estimator are correctly derived up to the first order of approximation. Furthermore, the optimum conditions and minimum mean squared error for the proposed estimator are determined. The efficiency of the proposed estimator is studied both theoretically and numerically using simulated and real data sets. The numerical study reveals that the use of the Randomized Response Technique (RRT) in a survey contaminated with measurement errors increases the variances and mean squared errors of estimators of the finite population mean.
The generalized inverse Gaussian distribution converges in law to the inverse gamma or the gamma distribution under certain conditions on the parameters. It is the same for the Kummer’s distribution to the gamma or beta distribution. We provide explicit upper bounds for the total variation distance between such generalized inverse Gaussian distribution and its gamma or inverse gamma limit laws, on the one hand, and between Kummer’s distribution and its gamma or beta limit laws on the other hand.
In this article, we continue our research on quasi-ordered residuated systems introduced in 2018 by S. Bonzio and I. Chajda and various types of filters in them. Some fundamental properties of strong quasi-ordered residuated systems are given in this article. In addition, the concepts of prime and irreducible filters in such systems are introduced and analyzed.
