Computing slope enclosures by exploiting a unique point of inflection
نویسنده
چکیده
Using slope enclosures may provide sharper bounds for the range of a function than using enclosures of the derivative. Hence, slope enclosures may be useful in verifying the assumptions for existence tests or in algorithms for global optimization. Previous papers by Kolev and Ratz show how to compute slope enclosures for convex and concave functions. In this paper, we generalize these formulas and show how to obtain slope enclosures for a function that has exactly one point of in ection or whose derivative has exactly one point of in ection.

Evaluation of Models to Describe Temporal Growth in Local Chickens of Ghana
The logistic, Gompertz, Richards and asymmetric logistic growth curve models were fitted to body weight data of local Ghanaian chickens and French SASSO T44 chickens. All four growth models provided good fit for each sex by genotype growth data with R2 values ranging from 86.7% to 96.7%. The rate constant parameter, k, ranged between 0.137 and 0.271 and were significantly different from zero fo...
متن کاملPattern of ventilation during exercise in chronic heart failure.
OBJECTIVE To determine the pattern of the abnormal ventilatory response in heart failure and how it relates to symptoms by looking at tidal volume (VT) and frequency (f) during exercise. METHODS 45 patients with heart failure and 21 controls underwent maximal treadmill based exercise testing with metabolic gas exchange analysis. The relation of ventilation (VE) to VT was plotted to look for a...
متن کاملExponential Enclosure Techniques for the Computation of Guaranteed State Enclosures in ValEncIA-IVP
Verified integration of initial value problems for sets of ordinary differential equations can be performed by numerous approaches. The most important ones are based on either interval or Taylor model arithmetic and enclose with certainty the sets of reachable states at a given point of time. Commonly, such tools are based on a Taylor series expansion of the solution of differential equations i...

! , to occur in the function expression of the underlying function. Furthermore, we allow the function expression to contain functions given by two or more branches. By using interval arithmetic, second-order slope tuples provide verified enclosures of the range of the underlying function. We give some examples comparing range enclosures given by a second-order slope tuple with enclosures from ...
متن کاملA Review of Numerical Methods for Computing Point and Interval Estimates by S-PLUS Package
For computing different point estimates such as method of moment and maximum like-lihood estimates and different interval estimates (classical confidence interval, unbi-ased confidence interval, HPD interval), we may deal with the equations which need be solved numerically. In this paper, some numerical methods for solving these type of equations are reviewed in S-PLUS package. Various examples...
