Let f, g and h be all entire functions of several complex variables. In this paper we would like to establish some inequalities on the basis of relative order and relative lower order of f with respect to g when the relative orders and relative lower orders of both f and g with respect to h are given.

In [2, Chapter VII (p. 133)], Ritt shows an example of two irreducible differential variety of differential dimension 2 in U whose intersection consists of a single point: the origin. The details below follow Ritt’s exposition using more modern language and notation. The first part is taken from my tutorial paper [3], with some change in notation. That paper provides the basic background needed...

In the last twenty years several methods for computing primary decompositions of ideals in multivariate polynomial rings over fields (Seidenberg (1974), Lazard (1985), Kredel (1987), Eisenbud et al. (1992)), the integers (Seidenberg, 1978), factorially closed principal ideal domains (Ayoub (1982), Gianni et al. (1988)) and more general rings (Seidenberg, 1984) have been proposed. A related prob...

Generalized Order-Value Optimization (GOVO) problems involve functions whose evaluation depends on order relations on some representation functional set. Examples will be given of GOVO problems that may be analyzed in the context of Piecewise-Smooth Optimization. Generalizations of algorithms that have been proved to be effective for proving special classes of GOVO problems will be introduced. ...

This paper formulates a novel expression for entropy inspired in the properties of Fractional Calculus. The characteristics of the generalized fractional entropy are tested both in standard probability distributions and real world data series. The results reveal that tuning the fractional order allow an high sensitivity to the signal evolution, which is useful in describing the dynamics of comp...
