Inconstancy of finite and infinite sequences
In order to study large variations or fluctuations of finite or infinite sequences (time series), we bring to light a 1868 paper of Crofton and the (Cauchy-)Crofton theorem. After surveying occurrences of this result in the literature, we introduce the inconstancy of a sequence and we show why it seems more pertinent than other criteria for measuring its variational complexity. We also compute ...
متن کاملWhen Can Finite Testing Ensure Infinite Trustworthiness?
In this paper we contribute to the general philosophical question as to whether empirical testing can ever prove a physical law. Problems that lead to this question arise under several contexts, and the matter has been addressed by the likes of Bayes and Laplace. After pointing out that a Bayesian approach is the proper way to address this problem, we show that the answ...
متن کاملInconstancy and Inconsistency
In everyday language, we can call someone ‘consistent’ to say that they’re reliable, that they don’t change over time. Someone who’s consistently on time is always on time. Similarly, we can call someone ‘inconsistent’ to say the opposite: that they’re changeable, mercurial. A student who receives inconsistent grades on her tests throughout a semester has performed better on some than on others...
متن کاملFinite and Infinite Packings
Let K E d , d 2, be a centrally symmetric convex body with volume V (K) > 0 and distance function f. be the density of a densest packing of n translates of K, where controls the innuence of the boundary. We show that for 2 lim sup n!1 where (K) is the classical densest innnite packing density of K. So we get a new approach to classical packings. For d = 2 we generalize classical results by Roge...
متن کاملThe Jacobsthal Sequences in Finite Groups
Abstract In this paper, we study the generalized order- Jacobsthal sequences modulo for and the generalized order-k Jacobsthal-Padovan sequence modulo for . Also, we define the generalized order-k Jacobsthal orbit of a k-generator group for and the generalized order-k Jacobsthal-Padovan orbit a k-generator group for . Furthermore, we obtain the lengths of the periods of the generalized order-3 ...
