Maxentropic Reconstruction of Some Probability Distributions with Linear Inequality Constraints
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract The maxentropic reconstruction is a technique for finding an unknown probability distribution from some known information. In this paper we obtain the maxentropic reconstruction of some probability distributions from the knowledge of a prior distribution and of some lower and upper bounds for the mean values of some random variables. For this we use the Csiszár’s I-projection theorems and the geometric programming method. If some average values of the prior distribution are computed, we obtain a refined form of our solution. Finally, we give several examples for this approach.

Linear Objective Function Optimization with the Max-product Fuzzy Relation Inequality Constraints
In this paper, an optimization problem with a linear objective function subject to a consistent finite system of fuzzy relation inequalities using the max-product composition is studied. Since its feasible domain is non-convex, traditional linear programming methods cannot be applied to solve it. We study this problem and capture some special characteristics of its feasible domain and optimal s...
متن کاملA revisit of a mathematical model for solving fully fuzzy linear programming problem with trapezoidal fuzzy numbers
In this paper fully fuzzy linear programming (FFLP) problem with both equality and inequality constraints is considered where all the parameters and decision variables are represented by non-negative trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. According to the current approach, the FFLP problem with equality constraints first is converted into a multi–objective linear programming (MOLP) problem with crisp const...
متن کاملDetermination of Maximum Bayesian Entropy Probability Distribution
In this paper, we consider the determination methods of maximum entropy multivariate distributions with given prior under the constraints, that the marginal distributions or the marginals and covariance matrix are prescribed. Next, some numerical solutions are considered for the cases of unavailable closed form of solutions. Finally, these methods are illustrated via some numerical examples.

Fuzzy linear programming problem occur in many elds such as mathematical modeling, Control theory and Management sciences, etc. In this paper we focus on a kind of Linear Programming with fuzzy numbers and variables namely Fully Fuzzy Linear Programming (FFLP) problem, in which the constraints are in inequality forms. Then a new method is proposed to ne the fuzzy solution for solving (FFLP). Nu...
متن کاملLinear programming on SS-fuzzy inequality constrained problems
In this paper, a linear optimization problem is investigated whose constraints are defined with fuzzy relational inequality. These constraints are formed as the intersection of two inequality fuzzy systems and Schweizer-Sklar family of t-norms. Schweizer-Sklar family of t-norms is a parametric family of continuous t-norms, which covers the whole spectrum of t-norms when the parameter is changed...
