Todeschini et al. have recently suggested to consider multiplicative variants of additive graph invariants, which applied to the Zagreb indices would lead to the multiplicative Zagreb indices of a graph G, denoted by ( ) 1  G and ( ) 2  G , under the name first and second multiplicative Zagreb index, respectively. These are define as     ( ) 2 1 ( ) ( ) v V G G G d v and ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) 2...

Some aspects of the multiplicative anomaly of zeta determinants are investigated. A rather simple approach is adopted and, in particular, the question of zeta function factorization, together with its possible relation with the multiplicative anomaly issue is discussed. We look primordially into the zeta functions instead of the determinants themselves, as was done in previous work. That provid...

The study is devoted to geometrically non-linear modelling of viscoplastic structures with residual stresses. We advocate and develop a special approach stresses based on the transition between reference configurations. finite strain kinematics material modelled by multiplicative decomposition deformation gradient tensor. Numerical algorithms originally developed for unstressed materials are ex...

Multiplicative trend exponential smoothing has received very little attention in the literature. It involves modelling the local slope by smoothing successive ratios of the local level, and this leads to a forecast function that is the product of level and growth rate. By contrast, the popular Holt method uses an additive trend formulation. It has been argued that more real series have multipli...

In many situations, in all branches of physics, one encounters the power-like behavior of some variables, which is best described by a Tsallis distribution characterized by a nonextensivity parameter q and scale parameter T . However, there exist experimental results that can be described only by a Tsallis distributions, which are additionally decorated by some log-periodic oscillating factor. ...

Locally optimum detectors for weak random signals are derived for a generalized observation model incorporating signal-dependent and multiplicative noise. It is shown that the locally optimum random-signal detectors in the generalized observation model are interesting generalizations of those that would be obtained in the purely additive noisy signal model. Examples of explicit results for the ...

We introduce two drift-diagonally-implicit and derivative-free integrators for stiff systems of Itô stochastic differential equations with general non-commutative noise which have weak order 2 and deterministic order 2, 3, respectively. The methods are shown to be mean-square A-stable for the usual complex scalar linear test problem with multiplicative noise and improve significantly the stabil...

Introduction: Quantification of cerebral blood flow (CBF) using bolus-tracking MRI is critically dependent on correct determination of the arterial input function (AIF) (1,2). The AIF is the concentration of tracer which enters the brain as a function of time. It is sampled in a supplying artery, which is often subject to a partial volume effect (PVE) due to the limited spatial resolution resul...
