THE EXTREME HOSTS OF EXTREME SUPERNOVAE [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2010 We use GALEX ultraviolet (UV) and optical integrated photometry of the hosts of seventeen luminous supernovae (LSNe, having peak M_V < -21) and compare them to a sample of 26,000 galaxies from a cross-match between the SDSS DR4 spectral catalog and GALEX interim release 1.1.

Which Extreme Values Are Really Extreme? [PDF]
Journal of Financial Econometrics, 2004 We define the extreme values of any random sample of size n from a distribution function F as the observations exceeding a threshold and following a type of generalized Pareto distribution (GPD) involving the tail index of F. The threshold is the order statistic that minimizes a Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic between the empirical distribution of the ...

On the Existence of an Extremal Function in the Delsarte Extremal Problem [PDF]
Mediterranean Journal of Mathematics, 2020 AbstractThis paper is concerned with a Delsarte-type extremal problem. Denote by$${\mathcal {P}}(G)$$P(G)the set of positive definite continuous functions on a locally compact abelian groupG. We consider the function class, which was originally introduced by Gorbachev,$$\begin{aligned}&{\mathcal {G}}(W, Q)_G = \left\{ f \in {\mathcal {P}}(G) \cap L^
