On Schur Convexity of Some Symmetric Functions

open access: yes, 2010
For and , the symmetric function is defined as , where are positive integers. In this paper, the Schur convexity, Schur multiplicative convexity, and Schur harmonic convexity of are discussed.

Cramer–Rao lower bounds for change points in additive and multiplicative noise [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The paper addresses the problem of determining the Cramer–Rao lower bounds (CRLBs) for noise and change-point parameters, for steplike signals corrupted by multiplicative and/or additive white noise. Closed-form expressions for the signal and noise CRLBs

Distributed State Estimation for Mobile Robots in LiDAR Sensor Networks With Intermittent Inertial Measurements

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A scalable distributed observer framework for LiDAR sensor networks is presented for robust tracking and pose estimation of mobile robots. By combining adaptable 3D detection, clustering‐based communication reduction, and intermittent inertial fusion, accurate and efficient estimation is achieved under occlusions and sensing constraints, with formally ...

Vector‐Based SparseGPT: A Vector‐Based Sparsity Method for Large Language Model

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Conventional pruning such as SparseGPT produces harmful accumulated errors through step‐by‐step weight editing. V‐SparseGPT prunes and updates target weights simultaneously to curb these errors for N:M structured sparsity. Block‐sparsity and layer‐parallel sparsity greatly boost pruning efficiency.

How cold is too cold? A theoretical analysis of the optimal trigger for index insurance for frost damage to crops

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Crop insurance is undoubtedly an extremely valuable element in protecting agricultural businesses, but in many cases standard indemnity‐based products have had very low uptake due to high transaction costs elevating premiums to unaffordable levels.

Food inflation pass‐through from agricultural imports in a small open economy

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper develops a new framework for quantifying cost pass‐through in a small open economy by estimating firm‐level markup responses to agricultural import price shocks. We show theoretically that markup adjustments depend on firms' reliance on imported inputs and demand curvature, generating heterogeneous inflationary effects across firm ...

S-convexity: the variable radius case [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
We generalize, to the variable radius case, the main results contained in a recent paper of the authors [A new class of sets regularity, J. Convex Analysis 25/4 (2018) 1059--1074], where a new regularity class, called S-convexity, is studied and shown to

Schur-Convexity for a Class of Symmetric Functions and Its Applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
For x=(x1,x2,…,xn)∈R+n, the symmetric function ϕn(x,r) is defined by ϕn(x,r)=ϕn(x1,x2,…,xn;r)=∏1≤i1<i2⋯<ir≤n(∑j=1r(xij/(1+xij)))1/r, where r=1,2,…,n and i1 ...

Crop insurance and irrigation behavior: The conditional role of pumping costs

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Excessive water use for irrigation can accelerate the depletion of water resources, undermining agriculture's resilience to weather‐related shocks. Understanding how farmers make water use decisions is essential for developing effective water management policies.

The morphology of the oval window in Paranthropus robustus compared to humans and other modern primates

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.
