from linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar
chapter i provides an overview of structural linguistics and touches upon the saussurean dichotomies with the final goal of exploring their relevance to the stylistic studies of literature. to provide evidence for the singificance of the study, chapter ii deals with the controversial issue of linguistics and literature, and presents opposing views which, at the same time, have been central to t...
15 صفحه اولAdditive Schwarz Iterations for Markov Chains
A convergence analysis is presented for additive Schwarz iterations when applied to consistent singular systems of equations of the form Ax = b. The theory applies to singular M -matrices with one-dimensional null space and is applicable in particular to systems representing ergodic Markov chains, and to certain discretizations of partial differential equations. Additive Schwarz can be seen as ...
متن کاملRestricted additive Schwarz methods for Markov chains
The Restricted Additive Schwarz (RAS) method is adapted to the problem of computing the stationary probability distribution vector of large, sparse, irreducible stochastic matrices. Inexact and two-level variants are also considered, as well as acceleration by Krylov subspace methods. The convergence properties are analyzed and extensive numerical experiments aimed at assessing the effect of va...
متن کاملTaylor Expansion for the Entropy Rate of Hidden Markov Chains
We study the entropy rate of a hidden Markov process, defined by observing the output of a symmetric channel whose input is a first order Markov process. Although this definition is very simple, obtaining the exact amount of entropy rate in calculation is an open problem. We introduce some probability matrices based on Markov chain's and channel's parameters. Then, we try to obtain an estimate ...
متن کاملThe Rate of Rényi Entropy for Irreducible Markov Chains
In this paper, we obtain the Rényi entropy rate for irreducible-aperiodic Markov chains with countable state space, using the theory of countable nonnegative matrices. We also obtain the bound for the rate of Rényi entropy of an irreducible Markov chain. Finally, we show that the bound for the Rényi entropy rate is the Shannon entropy rate.
