Exact Bounds on the Effective Behaviour of a Conducting Discrete Polycrystal
نویسنده
چکیده
In a recent paper by Braides and Francfort, the problem of the characterization of the overall properties of lattice energies describing networks with arbitrary mixtures of two types of linear conductors has been addressed in a two-dimensional setting. In this paper we investigate the connection between that discrete optimization process and the theory of bounds for mixtures of continuum energies, for which the choice of the relationships between the different phases of the mixture is unusual and leads to remarkably simple results in terms of G-closure.

متن کاملExact maximum coverage probabilities of confidence intervals with increasing bounds for Poisson distribution mean
A Poisson distribution is well used as a standard model for analyzing count data. So the Poisson distribution parameter estimation is widely applied in practice. Providing accurate confidence intervals for the discrete distribution parameters is very difficult. So far, many asymptotic confidence intervals for the mean of Poisson distribution is provided. It is known that the coverag...
متن کاملOn 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...
متن کاملAn Extension to Imprecise Data Envelopment Analysis
The standard data envelopment analysis (DEA) method assumes that the values for inputs and outputs are exact. While DEA assumes exact data, the existing imprecise DEA (IDEA) assumes that the values for some inputs and outputs are only known to lie within bounded intervals, and other data are known only up to an order. In many real applications of DEA, there are cases in which some of the input ...
متن کاملExact and Approximation Algorithms for Makespan Minimization on Unrelated Parallel Machines
The NP-hard problem addressed in this paper is well known in the scheduling literature as Rl( C,,,. We propose lower bounds based on Lagrangian relaxations and additive techniques. We then introduce new cuts which eliminate infeasible disjunctions on the cost function value, and prove that the bounds obtained through such cuts dominate the previous bounds. These results are used to obtain exact...
