Shannon Entropy Estimation in ∞-Alphabets from Convergence Results: Studying Plug-In Estimators
This work addresses the problem of Shannon entropy estimation in countably infinite alphabets studying and adopting some recent convergence results of the entropy functional, which is known to be a discontinuous function in the space of probabilities in &

European and global financial integration: some panel evidence of the convergence of interest rates [PDF]
This paper seeks to contribute to the literature on financial integration using panel estimates to test beta- and sigma-convergence across the European Union countries’ interest rates and towards two specific benchmarks — the German and US rates ...

Convergence rates in homogenization of p-Laplace equations
This paper is concerned with homogenization of p-Laplace equations with rapidly oscillating periodic coefficients. The main difficulty of this work is due to the nonlinear structure in this field concerning p-Laplace equations itself. Utilizing the layer

Rates of convergence of powered order statistics from general error distribution
Let $ \{X_{n}: n\ge 1\} $ be a sequence of independent random variables with common general error distribution $ \hbox{GED} (v) $ with shape parameter v>0, and let $ M_{n,r} $ denote the r-th largest order statistics of $ X_{1}, X_{2}, \ldots, X_{n ...

Local Projection Stabilization Method for Incompressible Flow Problems
We analyze Local Projection Stabilization (LPS) methods for the solution of Stokes problem using equal order finite elements. We investigate their convergence, stability and accuracy properties. The resulting stabilized method is shown to lead to optimal

A note on minimax rates of convergence in the Spektor-Lord-Willis problem [PDF]
In this note, attainable lower bounds are constructed for the convergence rates in a stereological problem of unfolding spheres size distribution from linear sections, which shows that a spectral type estimator is strictly rate minimax over some Sobolev ...

Convergence of Inflation and Unemployment Rates: a Signal of Economic Slowdown? [PDF]
In economic theory the Phillips curve presents the relationship between the unemployment rate and inflation rate. The inflation and unemployment rate bring important information about the stages of the economic cycle.
