On the Existence of Extremal Cones and Comparative Probability Orderings

چکیده

We study the recently discovered phenomenon [1] of existence of comparative probability orderings on finite sets that violate Fishburn hypothesis [2, 3] — we call such orderings and the discrete cones associated with them extremal. Conder and Slinko constructed an extremal discrete cone on the set of n = 7 elements and showed that no extremal cones exist on the set of n ≤ 6 elements. In this paper we construct an extremal cone on a finite set of prime cardinality p if p satisfies a certain number theoretical condition. This condition has been computationally checked to hold for 1,725 of the 1,842 primes between 132 and 16,000, hence for all these primes extremal cones exist.

Hessian Stochastic Ordering in the Family of multivariate Generalized Hyperbolic Distributions and its Applications

In this paper, random vectors following the multivariate generalized hyperbolic (GH) distribution are compared using the hessian stochastic order. This family includes the classes of symmetric and asymmetric distributions by which different behaviors of kurtosis in skewed and heavy tail data can be captured. By considering some closed convex cones and their duals, we derive some necessary and s...

Existence of Extremal Solutions for Impulsive Delay Fuzzy Integrodifferential Equations in $n$-dimensional Fuzzy Vector Space

In this paper, we study the existence of extremal solutions forimpulsive delay fuzzy integrodifferential equations in$n$-dimensional fuzzy vector space, by using monotone method. Weshow that obtained result is an extension of the result ofRodr'{i}guez-L'{o}pez cite{rod2} to impulsive delay fuzzyintegrodifferential equations in $n$-dimensional fuzzy vector space.

Extremal Positive Solutions For The Distributed Order Fractional Hybrid Differential Equations

In this article, we prove the existence of extremal positive solution for the distributed order fractional hybrid differential equation$$int_{0}^{1}b(q)D^{q}[frac{x(t)}{f(t,x(t))}]dq=g(t,x(t)),$$using a fixed point theorem in the Banach algebras. This proof is given in two cases of the continuous and discontinuous function $g$, under the generalized Lipschitz and Caratheodory conditions.
