On discrete a-unimodal and a-monotone distributions
Unimodality is one of the building structures of distributions that like skewness, kurtosis and symmetry is visible in the shape of a function. Comparing two different distributions, can be a very difficult task. But if both the distributions are of the same types, for example both are unimodal, for comparison we may just compare the modes, dispersions and skewness. So, the concept of unimodali...
متن کاملA transformation approach for incorporating monotone or unimodal constraints.
Samples of curves are collected in many applications, including studies of reproductive hormone levels in the menstrual cycle. Many approaches have been proposed for correlated functional data of this type, including smoothing spline methods and other flexible parametric modeling strategies. In many cases, the underlying biological processes involved restrict the curve to follow a particular sh...
متن کاملThe Eulerian distribution on involutions is indeed unimodal
Let In,k (respectively, Jn,k) be the number of involutions (respectively, fixed-point free involutions) of {1, . . . , n} with k descents. Motivated by Brenti’s conjecture which states that the sequence In,0, In,1, . . . , In,n−1 is log-concave, we prove that the two sequences In,k and J2n,k are unimodal in k, for all n. Furthermore, we conjecture that there are nonnegative integers an,k such t...
متن کامل5 The Eulerian Distribution on Involutions is Indeed Unimodal
A sequence a0, a1, . . . , an of real numbers is said to be unimodal if for some 0 ≤ j ≤ n we have a0 ≤ a1 ≤ · · · ≤ aj ≥ aj+1 ≥ · · · ≥ an, and is said to be log-concave if a 2 i ≥ ai−1ai+1 for all 1 ≤ i ≤ n − 1. Clearly a log-concave sequence of positive terms is unimodal. The reader is referred to Stanley’s survey [10] for the surprisingly rich variety of methods to show that a sequence is l...
متن کاملUnimodal wave trains and solitons in convex FPU chains
We consider atomic chains with nearest neighbour interactions and study periodic and homoclinic travelling waves which are called wave trains and solitons, respectively. Our main result is a new existence proof which relies on the constrained maximisation of the potential energy and exploits the invariance properties of an improvement operator. The approach is restricted to convex interaction p...
