Two parametric models for income and financial return distributions are presented. There are the four-parameter normal Laplace (NL) and the five-parameter generalized normal Laplace (GNL) distributions. Their properties are discussed; furthermore, estimation of the parameters by the method of moments and maximum likelihood is presented. The performances of fitting the two models to nine empiric...

Abstract We prove that there exists a universal constant D such if p is prime divisor of the index Fitting subgroup finite group G , then number conjugacy classes at least $Dp/\log_2p$ . conjecture we can take $D=1$ and for solvable groups, $D=1/3$

Following Malcev [5], we will call a subgroup M of a group G finitely separable if for any element g ∈ G, not belonging to M, there exists a homomorphism φ of group G onto some finite group X such that gφ / ∈Mφ. This is equivalent to the statement that for any element g ∈ G \M, there exists a normal subgroup N of finite index in G such that g / ∈MN . A group G is subgroup separable if each of i...

let $g$ be a finite $p$-soluble group‎, ‎and $p$ a sylow $p$-subgroup of $g$‎. ‎it is proved‎ ‎that if all elements of $p$ of order $p$ (or of order ${}leq 4$ for $p=2$) are‎ ‎contained in the $k$-th term of the upper central series of $p$‎, ‎then the $p$-length of‎ ‎$g$ is at most $2m+1$‎, ‎where $m$ is the greatest integer such that‎ ‎$p^m-p^{m-1}leq k$‎, ‎and the exponent of the image of $p$...

a subgroup $h$ is said to be $nc$-supplemented in a group $g$ if there exists a subgroup $kleq g$ such that $hklhd g$ and $hcap k$ is contained in $h_{g}$, the core of $h$ in $g$. we characterize the supersolubility of finite groups $g$ with that every maximal subgroup of the sylow subgroups is $nc$-supplemented in $g$.

Abstract. The multiplier representation of the generalized symmetry group of a quasiperiodic flow on the n-torus defines, for each subgroup of the multiplier group of the flow, a group invariant of the smooth conjugacy class of that flow. This group invariant is the internal semidirect product of a subgroup isomorphic to the n-torus by a subgroup isomorphic to that subgroup of the multiplier gr...

We study the generalized Whittaker models for G = GSp(2,R) associated with indefinite binary quadratic forms when they arise from two standard representations of G: (i) a generalized principal series representation induced from the non-Siegel maximal parabolic subgroup and (ii) a (limit of) large discrete series representation. We prove the uniqueness of such models with moderate growth propert...

The generalized Bonferroni mean is able to capture some interaction effects between variables and model mandatory requirements. We present a number of weights identification algorithms we have developed in the R programming language in order to model data using the generalized Bonferroni mean subject to various preferences. We then compare its accuracy when fitting to the journal ranks dataset.
