چکیده

We show that if P (x) is a polynomial with nondecreasing, nonnegative coefficients, then the coefficient sequence of P (x+ 1) is unimodal. Applications are given.

An Extension of a Criterion for Unimodality

We prove that if P (x) is a polynomial with nonnegative nondecreasing coefficients and n is a positive integer, then P (x + n) is unimodal. Applications and open problems are presented.

Combinatorial Structure of the Deterministic Seriation Method with Multiple Subset Solutions

Seriation methods order a set of descriptions given some criterion (e.g., unimodality or minimum distance between similarity scores). Seriation is thus inherently a problem of finding the optimal solution among a set of permutations of objects. In this short technical note, we review the combinatorial structure of the classical seriation problem, which seeks a single solution out of a set of ob...

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...

Multiplicative strong unimodality for positive stable laws

It is known that real Non-Gaussian stable distributions are unimodal, not additive strongly unimodal, and multiplicative strongly unimodal in the symmetric case. By a theorem of Cuculescu-Theodorescu [5], the only remaining relevant situation for the multiplicative strong unimodality of stable laws is the one-sided. In this paper, we show that positive α−stable laws are multiplicative strongly ...

The unimodality of independence polynomials of some graphs

In this paper we study unimodality problems for the independence polynomial of a graph, including unimodality, log-concavity and reality of zeros. We establish recurrence relations and give factorizations of independence polynomials for certain classes of graphs. As applications we settle some unimodality conjectures and problems. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
