Conformable fractional approximations by max-product operators using convexity

Approximation by max-product type nonlinear operators

The purpose of this survey is to present some approximation and shape preserving properties of the so-called nonlinear (more exactly sublinear) and positive, max-product operators, constructed by starting from any discrete linear approximation operators, obtained in a series of recent papers jointly written with B. Bede and L. Coroianu. We will present the main results for the max-product opera...

Max-Product Shepard Approximation Operators

In crisp approximation theory the operations that are used are only the usual sum and product of reals. We propose the following problem: are sum and product the only operations that can be used in approximation theory? As an answer to this problem we propose max-product Shepard Approximation operators and we prove that these operators have very similar properties to those provided by the crisp...

Optimization by Max-Propagation Using Kikuchi Approximations

In this paper we address the problem of using region-based approximations to find the optimal points of a given function. Our approach combines the use of Kikuchi approximations with the application of generalized belief propagation (GBP) using maximization instead of marginalization. The relationship between the fixed points of maximum GBP and the free energy is elucidated. A straightforward c...

Ostrowski type inequalities involving conformable fractional integrals

In the article, we establish several Ostrowski type inequalities involving the conformable fractional integrals. As applications, we find new inequalities for the arithmetic and generalized logarithmic means.
