mutual funds are the best tool to mobilize savings and investments in an economy and pakistan is the pioneer in south asia, but this industry is not as much mature in comparison to its age in pakistan. this paper examines the performance of closed ended mutual funds in pakistan by using five different ranking measures during a period of january 2009 to december 2013 and the sample consists of o...

In this paper we prove some inequalities for convex function of a higher order. The well known Hermite interpolating polynomial leads us to a converse of Jensen inequality for a regular, signed measure and, as a consequence, a generalization of Hadamard and Petrovi c's inequalities. Also, we obtain a new upper bound for the error function of the Hermite interpolating polynomial je H (x)j in ter...

Some new Jensen’s type inequalities for di¤erentiable log-convex functions of selfadjoint operators in Hilbert spaces under suitable assumptions for the involved operators are given. Applications for particular cases of interest are also provided. 1. Introduction Jensen’s inequality for convex functions is one of the most important result in the Theory of Inequalities due to the fact that many ...

Let Φ1, . . . ,Φn be strictly positive linear maps from a unital C∗algebra A into a C∗-algebra B and let Φ = ∑n i=1 Φi be unital. If f is an operator convex function on an interval J , then for every self-adjoint operator A ∈ A with spectrum contained in J , the following refinement of the Choi– Davis–Jensen inequality holds:

We study isovector collective excitations in nuclear matter by employing the linearized Landau-Vlasov equation with and without a non-Markovian binary collision term at finite temperature. We calculate the giant dipole resonance (GDR) strength function for finite nuclei using Steinwedel-Jensen model and also by Thomas-Fermi approximation, and we compare them for 120Sn and 208Pb with experimenta...

Many interesting divergence measures between conjugate ensembles of nonequilibrium trajectories can be experimentally determined from the work distribution of the process. Herein, we review the statistical and physical significance of several of these measures, in particular the relative entropy (dissipation), Jeffreys divergence (hysteresis), Jensen–Shannon divergence (timeasymmetry), Chernoff...

Rats were immunized ( 1 ) with Jensen rat sarcoma tissue; ( 2 ) with emulsions of normal rat spleen; ( 3 ) with normal rat blood. Sera from rats of these three series were tested against ( a ) cultures of Jensen rat sarcoma cells; ( b ) cultures of normal spleen cells; (c) cultures of mouse carcinoma 63; ( d ) cultures of cells of normal mouse spleen. Jensen Rat Sarcoma Tissue as Antigen: Two s...

Quantifying the difference between two distributions is a common problem in many machine learning and data mining tasks. What is also common in many tasks is that we only have empirical data. That is, we do not know the true distributions nor their form, and hence, before we can measure their divergence we first need to assume a distribution or perform estimation. For exploratory purposes this ...
