Shannon entropy of a probability measure P , defined as − ∫ X dP dμ ln dP dμ dμ on a measure space (X,M, μ), is not a natural extension from the discrete case. However, maximum entropy (ME) prescriptions of Shannon entropy functional in the measure-theoretic case are consistent with those for the discrete case. Also it is well known that Kullback-Leibler relative entropy can be extended natural...

This paper focuses on two main issues that are based on two important concepts: exponential Levy process and minimal entropy martingale measure. First, we intend to obtain   risk measurement such as value-at-risk (VaR) and conditional value-at-risk (CvaR) using Monte-Carlo methodunder minimal entropy martingale measure (MEMM) for exponential Levy process. This Martingale measure is used for the...

abstract: this paper presents the results of pullout tests on uniaxial geogrid embedded in silica sand under monotonic and cyclic pullout forces. the new testing device as a recently developed automated pullout test device for soil-geogrid strength and deformation behavior investigation is capable of applying load/displacement controlled monotonic/cyclic forces at different rates/frequencies an...
