Conjugate loci of pseudo-Riemannian 2-step nilpotent Lie groups with nondegenerate center
(Springer, 2005)We determine the complete conjugate locus along all geodesics parallel or perpendicular to the center (Theorem 2.3). When the center is one-dimensional we obtain formulas in all cases (Theorem 2.5), and when a certain ... -
Consistent Estimation of Distributions with Type II Bias with Applications in Competing Risks Problems
(Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2004-02)A random variable X is symmetric about 0 if X and -X have the same distribution. There is a large literature on the estimation of a distribution function (DF) under the symmetry restriction and tests for checking this ... -
Consistent estimation of survival functions under uniform stochastic ordering; the k-sample case
(Elsevier B.V., 2016-02)Let S-1, S-2, ... , S-k be survival functions of life distributions. They are said to be uniformly stochastically ordered, S-1 <=(uso) S-2 <=(uso) ... <=(uso) S-k, if S-i/Si+1 is a survival function for 1 <= i <= k - 1. ... -
Constrained pole placement by linear quadratic modification
(IEEE, 1991-06-26)A noniterative method is introduced that will enable the designer to find an optmal one step state feedback controller. The controller will place the eigenvalues of the closed loop system in a specified disk. -
Constraints on oscillation parameters from $\nu_e$ appearance and $\nu_\mu$ disappearance in NOvA
(American Physical Society, 2017-06-05)Results are reported from an improved measurement of $\nu_\mu \rightarrow \nu_e$ transitions by the NOvA experiment. Using an exposure equivalent to $6.05\times10^{20}$ protons-on-target 33 $\nu_e$ candidates were observed ... -
Constraints on the distance moduli, helium, and metal abundances, and ages of globular clusters from their RR Lyrae and non-variable horizontal branch stars. II. multiple stellar populations in 47 Tuc, M3, and M13
(IOP Publishing, 2017-11-10)We present a new set of horizontal branch (HB) models computed with the MESA stellar evolution code. The models adopt alpha-enhanced Asplund et al. metal mixtures and include the gravitational settling of He. They are used ... -
Construction and solution of an inverse problem posed by "Piekara’s Chair"
(Wichita State University, 2008-05)The article "Piekara's Chair: Mechanical Model for Atomic Energy Levels" by Zofia Golab-Meyer presents a model of the real-world problem of determining classical energy states suitable for high school or undergraduate ... -
Construction industrial multivariate statistical analysis based on real estate market in USA
(Wichita State University, 2016-04-29)This project mainly focus on how the land market value, in terms of GDP, CPI, construction cost index and unemployment rate, inflation rate, population and purchasing manage index, enables a relationship with the real ... -
Continuation of solutions of elliptic systems from discrete sets with application to geometry of surfaces
(Wichita State University, 2018-07)We obtain new estimates of stability for continuation of solutions of elliptic inequali- ties | ∂u|2 < = a|u|2 from finite discrete sets. For this we use Hormander's type of Carleman estimates for ∂-bar with boundary ... -
A convergent algorithm for a generalized multivariate isotonic regression problem
(Springer, 2012-02)Sasabuchi et al. (Biometrika 70(2):465-472, 1983) introduces a multivariate version of the well-known univariate isotonic regression which plays a key role in the field of statistical inference under order restrictions. ... -
Convex configurations for solutions to semilinear elliptic problems in convex rings
(Taylor & Francis Group, LLC, 2006-05)For a given convex ring and an L 1 function f:Ω × → + we show, under suitable assumptions on f, that there exists a solution (in the weak sense) to with {x Ω: u(x) > s} Ω1 convex, for all s (0, M). -
Covariance matrices for second-order vector random fields in space and time
(IEEE, 2011-05-01)This paper deals with vector (or multivariate) random fields in space and/or time with second-order moments, for which a framework is needed for specifying not only the properties of each component but also the possible ... -
Covariance matrix functions of isotropic vector random fields
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2014-05-15)An isotropic scalar or vector random field is a second-order random field in (d > 2), whose covariance function or direct/cross covariance functions are isotropic. While isotropic scalar random fields have been well developed ... -
Covariance structures of Gaussian and log-Gaussian vector stochastic processes
(Wichita State University, 2012-12)Although the covariance structures of univariate Gaussian and log Gaussian stochastic processes have been extensively studied in the past few decades, the development of covariance structures for Gaussian and log-Gaussian ... -
Coverage probability of tolerance levels
(Wichita State University, 2018-12)In this thesis the ideas of the tolerance limit and coverage probabilities are explored in the context of the A-basis and B-basis for composite materials. The breaking strength of composite materials are random variables ... -
Crack detection in a three dimensional body
(2006-05)We propose a method of analyzing a crack in a three dimensional body. We treat the problem as an inverse problem and apply Green’s Theorem, Trace Theorem, and the Fredholm Alternative. We model the problem using Helmholtz ... -
