A Metropolis - type Optimization Algorithm on theIn
Let S(v) be a function deened on the vertices v of the innnite binary tree. One algorithm to seek large positive values of S is the Metropolis-type Markov chain (X n) deened by P (X n+1 = wjX n = v) = 1 3 e b(S(w)?S(v)) 1 + e b(S(w)?S(v)) for each neighbor w of v, where b is a parameter (\1=temperature") which the user can choose. We introduce and motivate study of this algorithm under a probab...
متن کاملGraduating to globalisation
In this paper we examine the relationship between firm characteristics and the decision of the firm to sell in the domestic market, export and/or invest abroad. We find that globalisation of Indian firms through the sharp increase in exports and foreign direct investment can be explained by firm characteristics. Data for a set of more than 1600 Indian firms for 10 years shows that exporting and...
متن کاملA Minimax Formulation of theIn nite - Dimensional
We formulate a minimax game which is equivalent to the Nehari problem in the sense that this minimax game is well-posed if and only if the Hankel norm of a given operator is less than a prescribed constant. This game and the dual game provide us with physical interpretations of the Riccati operators that are commonly used in the solution of the Nehari problem.
متن کاملGraduating Mortality Rates via Divergences
One of the most important tasks in actuarial science is to describe the actual but unknown mortality pattern of a population. In order to achieve this, the actuary calculates from raw data the crude mortality rates, which usually form an irregular series. Because of this, it is common to revise the initial estimates with the aim of producing smoother estimates, with a procedure called graduatio...
متن کاملIsma’ili Thesis on the Ecclesiastical Hierarchy
Though it is widely assumed that Sunni Islam does not have an equivalent to the Christian ecclesiastical hierarchy, Shii groups such as the Medieval Ismailis did have an organised teaching, spiritual, and temporal hierarchy. Evidence gathered from primary sources shows that this Ismaili 'ecclesiastical' hierarchy is strictly intertwined with the Ismaili interpretation of Neoplatonic cosmology a...
