Indirect Estimation Via L = λW

A Simple Formula for the Casson-walker Invariant

Gauss diagram formulas are extensively used to study Vassiliev link invariants. Now we apply this approach to invariants of 3-manifolds, considering a manifold as a result ML of surgery on a framed link L in S . We study the lowest degree case – the celebrated Casson-Walker invariant λw of rational homology spheres. This paper is dedicated to a detailed treatment of 2-component links; a general...

Extending the FCLT version of L=λW

The functional central limit theorem (FCLT) version of Little’s law (L = λW ) established by Glynn and Whitt is extended to show that a bivariate FCLT for the number in system and the waiting times implies the joint FCLT for all processes. It is based on a converse to the preservation of convergence by the composition map with centering on the function space containing the sample paths, exploit...

On the FCLT Version of L = λW

The functional central limit theorem (FCLT) version of Little’s law (L = λW ) shows that the fundamental relation between cumulative processes underlying L = λW leads to a corresponding relation among the limits for the FCLT-scaled stochastic processes. It supports statistical analysis, e.g., estimating confidence intervals. Here, this statistical motivation is reviewed and then the FCLT in Gly...

Identification of potential traits and selection criteria for yield improvement in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) genotypes under rainfed conditions

Sesame is an important oilseed crop in India. To determine potential traits and selection criteria for yield improvement, ninety sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) genotypes were studied in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The data collected on 13 characters were subjected to three different analyses. In variability analysis, high heritability was accompanied by a high genet...
