Analysis on accessibility to urban facilities using the flexible distance attenuation function
Japan Architectural Review, 2020 In urban planning, variations in accessibility to facilities that change with distance are often regarded as monotonically decreasing distance functions. However, it is difficult to select an appropriate function type.

Approximating trigonometric functions by using exponential inequalities
Journal of Inequalities and Applications, 2019 In this paper, some exponential inequalities are derived from the inequalities containing trigonometric functions. Numerical examples show that one can achieve much tighter bounds than those of prevailing methods, which are presented by Cusa, Huygens ...

Resource Allocation by Convex Monotonous Programming Application to an Otec Energy Production Platform [PDF]
Modeling, Identification and Control, 1983 A problem is considered of the minimization of a convex and monotonically increasing cost function subject to an upper bound of a convex and monotonically decreasing failure probability function.

RG flows on two-dimensional spherical defects
SciPost Physics, 2023 We study two-dimensional spherical defects in d-dimensional Conformal Field Theories. We argue that the Renormalization Group (RG) flows on such defects admit the existence of a decreasing entropy function.

Quenched free energy from spacetime D-branes
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We propose a useful integral representation of the quenched free energy which is applicable to any random systems. Our formula involves the generating function of multi-boundary correlators, which can be interpreted on the bulk gravity side as spacetime ...

Using Hazard and Surrogate Functions for Understanding Memory and Forgetting
AppliedMath, 2022 The retention of human memory is a process that can be understood from a hazard-function perspective. Hazard is the conditional probability of a state change at time t given that the state change did not yet occur.

Characterization of the lactation curve of f1 Holstein-Zebu cows
Ecosistemas y Recursos Agropecuarios, 2018 The objective was to nd a function to describe the lactation curve of grazing Holstein - Zebu cows (n=23) in tropical México. Twelve were based on the general nonlinear function A*Φ1(x)*Φ2(x): A, a positive scalar; Φ1 , a positive monotonically ...

Theory and Applications of the Unit Gamma/Gompertz Distribution
Mathematics, 2021 Unit distributions are commonly used in probability and statistics to describe useful quantities with values between 0 and 1, such as proportions, probabilities, and percentages. Some unit distributions are defined in a natural analytical manner, and the

Some fixed point results for non-decreasing and mixed monotone mappings with auxiliary functions [PDF]
Fixed Point Theory and Applications, 2015 AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to provide sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of fixed points for non-decreasing and mixed monotone mappings with auxiliary functions in the framework of metric space endowed with a partial order. As applications of our results we obtain several interesting corollaries and fixed point theorems in

Aspects of ultra-relativistic field theories via flat-space holography
Physics Letters B, 2017 Recently it was proposed that asymptotically flat spacetimes have a holographic dual which is an ultra-relativistic conformal field theory. In this paper, we obtain the conformal anomaly for such a theory via the flat-space holography technique ...
