We define strong regularity of a parametric interval matrix and give conditions that characterize it. The new conditions give a better estimation for regularity of a parametric matrix than the conditions used so far. Verifiable sufficient regularity conditions are also presented for parametric matrices. The new sufficient conditions motivate a generalization of Rump’s parametric fixed-point ite...

rational functions are of great interest to engineers and geoscientists. the rational polynomial coefficient (rpc) model as a generalized sensor model has been introduced as an alternative for the rigorous sensor model of the satellite imaging. numerical instability of normal equations is the only single obstacle to the implementation of these functions. practically, estimating rational functio...

Much work has been published on methods for assessing the probable number of clusters or structures within unknown data sets. This paper aims to look in more detail at two methods, a broad parametric method, based around the assumption of Gaussian clusters and the other a non-parametric method which utilises methods of scale-space ltering to extract robust structures within a data set. It is sh...

in recent years, the existing competitions between investment companies have been increased largely by entering private investors in capital market. large and powerful companies try to achieve the goals predicted to increase the competition capacity. to analyze the efficiency of investment companies, parametric and non-parametric methods are used. in this research, based on the dissociation pow...
