Robust Bernoulli Mixture Models for Credit Portfolio Risk
ABSTRACT This paper presents comparison results and establishes risk bounds for credit portfolios within classes of Bernoulli mixture models, assuming conditionally independent defaults that are stochastically increasing in a common risk factor. We provide simple and interpretable conditions on conditional default probabilities that imply a comparison ...

A Preconditioned Majorization‐Minimization Method for ℓ2$$ {\ell}^2 $$‐ℓq$$ {\ell}^q $$ Minimization
ABSTRACT The need to minimize a linear combination of an expression that involves an ℓq$$ {\ell}^q $$‐norm of a linear transformation of the computed solution and the ℓ2$$ {\ell}^2 $$‐norm of the residual error arises in image restoration as well as in statistics.

Testing monotonicity via local least concave majorants
We propose a new testing procedure for detecting localized departures from monotonicity of a signal embedded in white noise. In fact, we perform simultaneously several tests that aim at detecting departures from concavity for the integrated signal over ...

Abstract Under the generalized Riemann hypothesis, we use Beurling–Selberg extremal functions to bound the mean and mean square of the argument of Dirichlet L$L$‐functions for a large prime modulus q$q$. As applications, we give alternative proofs of several results on low‐lying zeros of L(s,χ)$L(s,\chi)$ and obtain a new lower bound on the proportion ...

Disrupted habenula function in major depression [PDF]
The habenula is a small, evolutionarily conserved brain structure that plays a central role in aversive processing and is hypothesised to be hyperactive in depression, contributing to the generation of symptoms such as anhedonia. However, habenula responses during aversive processing have yet to be reported in individuals with major depressive disorder

Local convergence of Newton's method using Kantorovich convex majorants
We are concerned with the problem of approximating a solution of an operator equation using Newton's method. Recently in the elegant work by Ferreira and Svaiter [6] a semilocal convergence analysis was provided which makes clear the relationship of the

Non‐Relativistic Limit of Dirac Hamiltonians With Aharonov–Bohm Fields
ABSTRACT We characterize the families of self‐adjoint Dirac and Schrödinger operators with Aharonov–Bohm magnetic field, and we exploit the non‐relativistic limit of infinite light speed to connect the former to the latter. The limit consists of the customary removal of the rest energy and of a suitable scaling, with the light speed, of the short‐scale

Fejer means of rational Fourier – Chebyshev series and approximation of function |x|s
Approximation properties of Fejer means of Fourier series by Chebyshev – Markov system of algebraic fractions and approximation by Fejer means of function |x|s, 0 < s < 2, on the interval [−1,1], are studied.

Majorization by starlike functions
Summary: The main object of this paper is to investigate some majorization problems involving the subclass \(S (\alpha,A, B)\) of starlike functions in the open unit disk \(\mathcal{U}\). Relevant connections of the results presented here with those given by earlier workers on the subject are also indicated.
