Fragility curves are very useful in quantifying the physical and economic damage of buildings that have undergone an earthquake. This paper presents the development of analytical fragility curves representative of mid-rise residential structures built with reinforced concrete, taking into account the specific structural characteristics of Algerian buildings. The derivation of the analytical fra...

The aim of this paper is to fully analyze the effects of free space optical (FSO) communication links on the estimation performance of the adaptive incremental networks. The FSO links in this paper are described with two turbulence models namely the Log-normal and Gamma-Gamma distributions. In order to investigate the impact of these models we produced the link coefficients using these distribu...

We study non-Gaussian fractional stochastic volatility models. The in such a model is described by positive function of process that transform the solution to an SDE satisfying Yamada–Watanabe condition. Such models are generalizations version Heston considered Bäuerle and Desmettre (2020). establish sample path small-noise large deviation principles for log-price model. also illustrate how com...

Central limit theorems (CLTs) for high-dimensional random vectors with dimension possibly growing the sample size have received a lot of attention in recent times. Chernozhukov et al. (Ann. Probab. 45 (2017) 2309–2352) proved Berry–Esseen type result averages class sparsely convex sets including hyperrectangles as special case and they that rate convergence can be upper bounded by $n^{-1/6}$ up...
