Decreasing Functions with Applications
نویسنده
چکیده
The theory of increasing positively homogeneous functions deened on the positive orthant is applied to the class of decreasing functions. A multiplicative version of the inf-convolution operation is studied for decreasing functions. Modiied penalty functions for some constrained optimization problems are introduced which are in general nonlinear with respect to the objective function of the original problem. As the perturbation function of a constrained optimization problem is decreasing, the theory of decreasing functions is subsequently applied to the study of modiied penalty functions, the zero duality gap property and the exact penalization.

متن کاملΣ-porosity in Monotonic Analysis with Applications to Optimization
We introduce and study some metric spaces of increasing positively homogeneous (IPH) functions, decreasing functions, and conormal (upward) sets. We prove that the complements of the subset of strictly increasing IPH functions, of the subset of strictly decreasing functions, and of the subset of strictly conormal sets are σ-porous in corresponding spaces. Some applications to optimization are g...

In this paper, we introduce a new five-parameter distribution with increasing, decreasing, bathtub-shaped failure rate called the Beta-Weibull-Logarithmic (BWL) distribution. Using the Sterling Polynomials, various properties of the new distribution such as its probability density function, its reliability and failure rate functions, quantiles and moments, R$acute{e}$nyi and Shannon entropie...

متن کاملA New Modified Weibull Distribution and Its Applications
In this paper we introduce a four-parameter generalized Weibull distribution. This new distribution has a more general form of failure rate function. It is more general for modeling than six ageing classes of life distributions with appropriate choices of parameter values, so it can display decreasing, increasing, bathtub shaped, unimodal, increasing-decreasing increasing and decreasing-increas...
