Abstract:

Suppose that a policyholder faces $n$ risks X1, ..., Xn which are insured under the policy limit with the total limit of l. Usually, the policyholder is asked to protect each Xi with an arbitrary limit of li such that ∑ni=1li=l. If the risks are independent and identically distributed with log-concave cumulative distribution function, using the notions of majorization and stochastic orderings, we prove that the equal limits provide the maximum of the expected utility of the wealth of policyholder. If the risks with log-concave distribution functions are independent and ordered in the sense of the reversed hazard rate order, we show that the equal limits is the most favourable allocation among the worst allocations. We also prove that if the joint probability density function is arrangement increasing, then the best arranged allocation maximizes the utility expectation of policyholderchr('39')s wealth. We apply the main results to the case when the risks are distributed according to a log-normal distribution.

The Wiener index is a graph invariant that has found extensive application in chemistry. In addition to that a generating function, which was called the Wiener polynomial, who’s derivate is a q-analog of the Wiener index was defined.

Some new results on semi fully fuzzy linear programming problems

There are two interesting methods, in the literature, for solving fuzzy linear programming problems in which the elements of coefficient matrix of the constraints are represented by real numbers and rest of the parameters are represented by symmetric trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. The first method, named as fuzzy primal simplex method, assumes an initial primal basic feasible solution is at hand. T...

In this paper, using the best proximity theorems for an extensionof Brosowski's theorem. We obtain other results on farthest points. Finally, wedene the concept of e- farthest points. We shall prove interesting relationshipbetween the -best approximation and the e-farthest points in normed linearspaces (X; ||.||). If z in W is a e-farthest point from an x in X, then z is also a-best approximati...

Some New Results on Stochastic Orderings between Generalized Order Statistics

In this paper we specify the conditions on the parameters of pairs of gOS’s under which the corresponding generalized order statistics are ordered according to usual stochastic ordering, hazard rate ordering, likelihood ratio ordering and dispersive ordering. We consider this problem in one-sample as well as two-sample problems. We show that some of the results obtained by Franco et al. ...
