چکیده

This is a second technical companion to the essay On Robustness and Fragility in the second edition of The Black Swan (a follow up the Fourth Quadrant). It makes the distinction between fragile an robust to model (or representational) error on the basis of convexity. It also introduces a simple practical method to measure (as an indicator of fragility) the sensitivity of a portfolio (or balance sheet) to model error.

A Simple General-purpose I-V Model for All Operating Modes of Deep Submicron MOSFETs

A simple general-purpose I-V model for all operating modes of deep-submicron MOSFETs is presented. Considering the most dominant short channel effects with simple equations including few extra parameters, a reasonable trade-off between simplicity and accuracy is established. To further improve the accuracy, model parameters are optimized over various channel widths and full range of operating v...

Some Results on Convex Spectral Functions: I

In this paper, we give a fundamental convexity preserving for spectral functions. Indeed, we investigate infimal convolution, Moreau envelope and proximal average for convex spectral functions, and show that this properties are inherited from the properties of its corresponding convex function. This results have many applications in Applied Mathematics such as semi-definite programmings and eng...

استفاده از مدل جاذبه برای استخراج انحنای مرز دریاچه سد

Introduction The attraction model algorithm spatially depends on the neighborhoods of the central pixels that are attracting surrounding sub-pixels. Another possibility is the hypothesis of subpixel interaction as introduced by Mertens et al. (2003) and Atkinson (2005). In order to reach a pixel state with the maximum number of sub-pixels of identical classes neighboring, there are several met...
