چکیده
We obtain upper bounds on the number of sign changes of linear combnatlons of derivatives and convolutions of Plya frequency functions using the variation diminishing properties of totally positive functions. These constitute extensions of earlier results of Karlin and Proschan.

Numerical solution of linear control systems using interpolation scaling functions
The current paper proposes a technique for the numerical solution of linear control systems.The method is based on Galerkin method, which uses the interpolating scaling functions. For a highly accurate connection between functions and their derivatives, an operational matrix for the derivatives is established to reduce the problem to a set of algebraic equations. Several test problems are given...

Background and aim: Today, it was revealed that Socio-technical systems did not have a bimodal nature and interactions in these systems are complex and non-linear. Consequently, since risks can be emerged as non-linear combinations of performance variability, so traditional methods of risk assessment are not able to capture these combinations. The present paper is aimed at identifying the eme...
متن کاملIncreasing the accuracy of the classification of diabetic patients in terms of functional limitation using linear and nonlinear combinations of biomarkers: Ramp AUC method
The Area under the ROC Curve (AUC) is a common index for evaluating the ability of the biomarkers for classification. In practice, a single biomarker has limited classification ability, so to improve the classification performance, we are interested in combining biomarkers linearly and nonlinearly. In this study, while introducing various types of loss functions, the Ramp AUC method and some of...

Yield is a quantitative trait and improving grain yield through direct selection is time-consuming. Indirect selection consisting of selection indices is more promising. A field experiment was conducted during 1999-2000 growing season in two experimental locations (Kooshkak and Badjgah) of College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, Shiraz. Thirteen corn hybrids were used in a randomized complet...
متن کاملUsing Chebyshev polynomial’s zeros as point grid for numerical solution of nonlinear PDEs by differential quadrature- based radial basis functions
Radial Basis Functions (RBFs) have been found to be widely successful for the interpolation of scattered data over the last several decades. The numerical solution of nonlinear Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) plays a prominent role in numerical weather forecasting, and many other areas of physics, engineering, and biology. In this paper, Differential Quadrature (DQ) method- based RBFs are...
