The scalar version of the pathway model of Mathai (2005) is shown to be associated with a large number of probability models used in physics. Different families of densities are listed here, which are all connected through the pathway parameter α, generating a distributional pathway. The idea is to switch from one functional form to another through this parameter and it is shown that one can pr...

The slow roll approximation is studied for cosmological models in Hyperextended Scalar-Tensor Theories of Gravity. A procedure to obtain slow roll solutions in non-minimally coupled gravity is outlined and some examples are provided. An integral condition over the functional form of the non-minimal coupling is imposed in order to obtain intermediate in ationary behavior. e-mail: dtorres@venus. ...

Unfortunately, the incorrect version of [1, Theorem 4.3] was published. The correct version of [1, Theorem 4.3] is given in this paper. By employing the generalized higher-order contingent derivatives of set-valued maps, Wang et al. [1] established a sufficient optimality condition of weakly efficient solutions for (SV P): (SV P) min F(x), s.t. G(x) (−D) = ∅, x ∈ E. Theorem 1 (see [1, Theorem 4...

According to David Rosenthal, a mental state is conscious just in case its subject suitably represents herself as being in that state, where this entails that the mental state " is accompanied by a noninferential, nondispositional, assertoric thought to the effect that one is in that very state " (2002a, p. 410; see also Rosenthal, 1997, p. 742). This assertoric thought, since it is about anoth...

We describe an implementation of the computable (or constructive) real numbers as a pure Java library. To the user, the library interface appears very similar to that of some other numeric types provided by the standard Java library. The primary goal of the implementation is simplicity, so that the implementation could be easily understood, and to allow simple informal correctness arguments. We...

In boundary element analysis, first order function derivatives, e.g., boundary potential gradient or stress tensor, can be accurately computed by evaluating the hypersingular integral equation for these quantities. However, this approach requires a complete integration over the boundary and is therefore computationally quite expensive. Herein it is shown that this method can be significantly si...

10.1 The Chi-square Goodness of Fit Test. The general area of nonparametric statistical inference deals with statistical procedures such as hypothesis testing, point estimation and confidence intervals in problems where the parent distribution has no known functional form. For one reason or another, the chi-square goodness of fit test is considered to be in this area, and so we present it here....
