a result of dixon‎, ‎evans and smith shows that if $g$ is a locally (soluble-by-finite) group whose proper subgroups are (finite rank)-by-abelian‎, ‎then $g$ itself has this property‎, ‎i.e‎. ‎the commutator subgroup of $g$ has finite rank‎. ‎it is proved here that if $g$ is a locally (soluble-by-finite) group whose proper subgroups have minimax commutator subgroup‎, ‎then also the commutator s...

a classical result of neumann characterizes the groups in which each subgroup has finitely many conjugates only as central-by-finite groups. if x is a class of groups, a group g is said to have x-conjugate classes of subgroups if g/coreg(ng(h)) 2 x for each subgroup h of g. here we study groups which have soluble minimax conjugate classes of subgroups, giving a description in terms of g/z(g). w...

ABSTRACT. Let R be a commutative noetherian ring, I and J are two ideals of R. Inthis paper we introduce the concept of (I;J)- minimax R- module, and it is shown thatif M is an (I;J)- minimax R- module and t a non-negative integer such that HiI;J(M) is(I;J)- minimax for all i

It is well known that the best equivariant estimator of a variance covari-ance matrix of multivariate normal distribution with respect to the full ane group of transformation is not even minimax. Some minimax estimators have been proposed. Here we treat this problem in the framework of a multivari-ate analysis of variance(MANOVA) model and give other classes of minimax estimators.

 Minimax estimation problems with restricted parameter space reached increasing interest within the last two decades Some authors derived minimax and admissible estimators of bounded parameters under squared error loss and scale invariant squared error loss In some truncated estimation problems the most natural estimator to be considered is the truncated version of a classic...

Group testing is an active area of current research and has important applications in medicine, biotechnology, genetics, and product testing. There have been recent advances in design and estimation, but the simple Dorfman procedure introduced by R. Dorfman in 1943 is widely used in practice. In many practical situations, the exact value of the probability p of being affected is unknown. We pre...

This paper presents a least-pth approach for the design of complex-coefficient FIR digital filters with low group delay in the minimax sense. Features of the proposed approach include: it does not need to adapt the weighting function involved and no constrains are imposed during the course of optimization. More important, the algorithm enjoys global convergence to the minimax design regardless ...

Let G be a group with all subgroups subnormal. A normal subgroup N of G is said to be G-minimax if it has a finite G-invariant series whose factors are abelian and satisfy either max-G or minG. It is proved that if the normal closure of every element of G is G-minimax then G is nilpotent and the normal closure of every element is minimax. Further results of this type are also obtained.
