In a series of nonsmooth versions of the Pontryagin Maximum Principle, we used generalized differentials of set-valued maps, flows, and abstract variations. Bianchini and Stefani have introduced a notion of possibly high-order variational vector that has the summability property. We consider a slightly more general class of variational vectors than that defined by Bianchini and Stefani, and pro...

In this paper, we propose a new speech probability distribution, two-sided generalized gamma distribution (GΓD) for an efficient parametric characterization of speech spectra. GΓD forms a generalized class of parametric distributions including the Gaussian, Laplacian and Gamma probability density functions (pdf’s) as special cases. All the parameters associated with the GΓD are estimated by the...
