We present some new results on incorporating quasi-Monte Carlo rules into Markov chain Monte Carlo. First, we present some new constructions of points, fully equidistributed LFSRs, which are small enough that the entire point set can be used in a Monte Carlo calculation. Second, we introduce some antithetic and round trip sampling constructions and show that they preserve the completely uniform...

This work presents a version of the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm using quasi-Monte Carlo inputs. We prove that the method yields consistent estimates in some problems with finite state spaces and completely uniformly distributed inputs. In some numerical examples, the proposed method is much more accurate than ordinary Metropolis-Hastings sampling.

The aim of this article is to prove some fixed point theorems in the context of dislocated quasi metric spaces. We have established a new fixed point theorem in complete dislocated quasi metric space using some new type of rationl contraction conditions. We have also proved a unique fixed point for generalized contraction by omitting the condition of continuity imposed by C. T. Aage and J. N. S...

This paper combines quasi-Z-source into a typical five-level inverter, which includes two dc voltage sources, two quasi-Z-sources and five switching devices. In this structure, the output voltage amplitude is not limited to dc voltage source and it can be increased by quasi-Z-source. Besides, due to nature of Z-source families, this new structure is reliable and higher efficiency. Also, in this...

the motivation of this paper is to propose such equitable method for ranking all decision making units (dmus) in dynamic data envelopment analysis (ddea) framework. as far as we are aware there is not more studies in dynamic dea literature. what's more, in such cases the best operating unit is important to be sampled for the others in under evaluated time periods. however, in this special conce...

First of all, the box theorem is extended to the interval plants with the fixed delay. An approach is presented to design the PID controller for interval plants with the fixed delay, which can obtain all of the stabilizing PID controllers. Then, using Hermite–Biehler theorem, extreme point results are provided by the virtual quasi-polynomials. When two virtual and two vertex quasi-polynomials c...

We prove results concerning data dependence of Noor and SP iterative schemes using certain quasi-contractive operators in real Banach spaces. Our results reveal that by choosing an approximate quasi-contractive operator (for which it is possible to compute the fixed point); we can approximate the fixed point of the given operator. An example is also provided to explain the validity of our results.

In multicategory classification, an estimated generalization error is often used to quantify a classifier’s generalization ability. As a result, quality of estimation of the generalization error becomes crucial in tuning and combining classifiers. This article proposes an estimation methodology for the generalization error, permitting a treatment of both fixed and random inputs, which is in con...
