We provide quantitative estimates in total variation distance for positive semigroups, which can be non-conservative and non-homogeneous. The techniques relies on a family of conservative semigroups that describes a typical particle and Doeblin’s type conditions inherited from [11] for coupling the associated process. Our aim is to provide quantitative estimates for linear partial differential ...

in many statistical process control applications, the quality of a process is characterized by a profile. a profile is a function in terms of one or more explanatory variables. in profile monitoring, one is interested to monitor the performance of a process or product using this functional relationship. control charts for monitoring nonparametric profiles are useful when the relationship is too...

The detection of sequence similarity within the twilight zone has been a challenging problem in sequence analysis. Among various types of approaches for sequence similarity detection, the profileprofile comparison is one of the most reliable approaches [4]. In this study, we design a profile, named match-node profile, which is generated from match nodes in the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) profiles.

Precision forging process is widely used for the production of spur gears due to its advantages such as improved strength and surface finish, little waste of materials and reduction in the machining time of the gear. An important aspect of precision forging process is the load required to perform the process successfully and design the forging tools. In this research, a new kinematically admiss...
