A k-hypertournament is a complete k-hypergraph with each k-edge endowed with an orientation, that is, a linear arrangement of the vertices contained in the edge. In a k-hypertournament, the score si (losing score ri) of a vertex vi is the number of arcs containing vi in which vi is not the last element (in which vi is the last element). The total score of vi is defined as ti = si − ri. In this ...

SEMI-MARKOV DECISION INCLUDING AN UNKNOWN Masami Kurano Chiba University PROCESSES PARAMETER (Received February 27, 1984: Revised May 8,1985) We consider the problem of minimizing the long-run average (expected) cost per unit time in a semiMarkov decision process including an unknown parameter. In the case of general state and action spaces and compact parameter space we construct the adaptive ...

— The Economics of Happiness is one of the research areas of greatest growth in recent years. Throughout this work, a venture based model in which satisfaction of Spanish entrepreneurs with their professional life is performed. We analyze the responses of 9,989 entrepreneurs using data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), and six hypothesis are discussed. The results show that, for t...

We consider maximum likelihood estimation of finite mixture of uniform distributions. We prove that maximum likelihood estimator is strongly consistent, if the scale parameters of the component uniform distributions are restricted from below by exp(−nd), 0 < d < 1, where n is the sample size.

Objective- Due to its specific position, the canine tooth is more exposed to the injuries, fractures and pulp necrosis. In these cases, the damaged teeth are usually pulled out. The root of this tooth is very large and sometimes extends over the premolar teeth. To extract it, a large amount of alveolar bone tissue should be harvested. Moreover, the cavity remains very large, wh...

In this paper, we prove that the Strong Novikov Conjecture for a residually finite group is essentially equivalent to the Coarse Geometric Novikov Conjecture for a certain metric space associated to the group. As an application, we obtain the Coarse Geometric Novikov Conjecture for a large class of sequences of expanders.

We construct several geometric representatives for the C/Zm fractional branes on either a partially or the completely resolved orbifold. In the process we use large radius and conifold-type monodromies, and provide a strong consistency check. In particular, for C/Z5 we give three different sets of geometric representatives. We also find the explicit Seiberg-duality, in the Berenstein-Douglas se...
