چکیده

We derive asymptotic approximations for the sequence f(n) de5ned recursively by f(n) = min16j¡n {f(j) + f(n− j)}+ g(n), when the asymptotic behavior of g(n) is known. Our tools are general enough and applicable to another sequence F(n) = max16j¡n {F(j) + F(n − j) + min{g(j); g(n− j)}}, also frequently encountered in divide-and-conquer problems. Applications of our results to algorithms, group testing, dichotomous search, etc. are discussed. c © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. MSC: 68W40; 68Q25; 05A20; 11B37

Recurrence Relations for Quotient Moment of Generalized Pareto Distribution Based on Generalized Order Statistics and Characterization

Generalized Pareto distribution play an important role in reliability, extreme value theory, and other branches of applied probability and statistics. This family of distributions includes exponential distribution, Pareto distribution, and Power distribution. In this paper, we established exact expressions and recurrence relations satisfied by the quotient moments of generalized order statistic...

Minmax Recurrences in Analysis of Algorithms

Recurrence relations with minimization and maximization, called minmax recurrence relations are commonly encountered in the analysis of algorithms. In this paper we present the solution of one such challenging recurrence relation. We characterize the optimal partition sizes as well as derive the order of complexity of the overall recurrence relation. It is proved that ad hoc equal partitioning ...

Human Rights Diplomacy: Case Study of Brazil

Human rights diplomacy is considered as a consequence of globalization. While many norms and issues are extensively globalized, nonetheless they can be implemented based on cost and benefit analysis (i.e. maximization of benefits and minimization of costs). States have to take their responsibility of human rights by demonstrating their responsiveness towards their people, international organiza...

Recurrence Relations for Moment Generating Functions of Generalized Order Statistics Based on Doubly Truncated Class of Distributions

In this paper, we derived recurrence relations for joint moment generating functions of nonadjacent generalized order statistics (GOS) of random samples drawn from doubly truncated class of continuous distributions. Recurrence relations for joint moments of nonadjacent GOS (ordinary order statistics (OOS) and k-upper records (k-RVs) as special cases) are obtained. Single and product moment gene...

A Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization for Mixed-Model Assembly Line Balancing with Different Skilled Workers

This paper presents a multi-objective Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm for worker assignment and mixed-model assembly line balancing problem when task times depend on the worker’s skill level. The objectives of this model are minimization of the number of stations (equivalent to the maximization of the weighted line efficiency), minimization of the weighted smoothness index and minim...
