–Parameter convergence in Genetic Algorithm (GA) is quiet unpredictable since it is not tied with the number of episodes (i.e., the number of generations), convergence time, or any other parameter it require to converge. Thus, in such a situation, trial to frame out any hypothesis to predict definite number of episodes gets disapproved; in turn, the alternate hypothesis becomes acceptable that ...

Korovkin-type theorems in modular spaces and applications C. Bardaro ∗ A. Boccuto † X. Dimitriou ‡ I. Mantellini § Abstract We prove some versions of abstract Korovkin-type theorems in modular function spaces, with respect to filter convergence for linear positive operators, by considering several kinds of test functions. We give some results even with respect to an axiomatic convergence, whose...

$top$-filters can be used to define $top$-convergence spaces in the lattice-valued context. Connections between $top$-convergence spaces and lattice-valued convergence spaces are given. Regularity of a $top$-convergence space has recently been defined and studied by Fang and Yue. An equivalent characterization is given in the present work in terms of convergence of closures of $top$-filters.  M...

We analyze the performance of the Maastricht convergence criteria (inflation, long-term interest rate, annual and overall public debt) of the European Monetary Union (EMU) that led to the introduction of the Euro on Jan. 1 1999 as book currency. Defining 3 regimes, 1992-97, 1997-1999 and 2000-2001, we analyse convergence properties, like a smooth or a rough transition in the mean or variance sh...

CONET (Convergence Network) is the network-layer of the CONVERGENCE project. It is an Information Centric Network, which extends the CCNx one in several aspects, including routing scalability, transport mechanisms, security handling, integration with IP, etc. This section describes services and functionalities of CONET and reports some performance evaluations, carried out through laboratory and...

We extend density-matrix expansions in nuclei to higher orders in derivatives of densities and test their convergence properties. The expansions allow for converting the interaction energies characteristic to finite- and short-range nuclear effective forces into quasilocal density functionals. We also propose a new type of expansion that has excellent convergence properties when benchmarked aga...

this paper has examined the phenomenon of convergence of per capita out put levels across the ic countries for the 1960-1998 periods. three concepts of convergence, i.e., sigma beta and relative beta, have been used. the estimated beta values reveals only a very weak convergence (?=.0014) across ic for 1960-1998 period. but when a more homogeneous group of countries were selected, the results s...
