Cultural divergence is incongruity in the values, attitudes and behaviors among different generations of a society. Identifying factors related to cultural divergence in the social values ​​of parents and children is one of the most important issues in Iranian society, which has been investigated in the present research through a quantitative approach. The statistical population of the study co...

We study a class of second-order degenerate linear parabolic equations in divergence form ( <mml:mo...

In applications of differential geometry to problems of parametric inference, the notion of divergence is often used to measure the separation between two parametric densities. Among them, in this paper, we will verify measures such as Kullback-Leibler information, J-divergence, Hellinger distance, -Divergence, &hellip; and so on. Properties and results related to distance between probability d...

Abstract Models of speciation in African rain forests have stressed either the role of isolation or ecological gradients. Here we contrast patterns of morphological and genetic divergence in parapatric and allopatric populations of the Little Greenbul, Andropadus virens, within different and similar habitats. We sampled 263 individuals from 18 sites and four different habitat types in Upper and...

purpose: to report and review a rare variant of duane&apos;s syndrome named synergistic divergence and its surgical results. patient and findings: a 16-year-old girl presented with left face turn and reduced vision in both eyes. best corrected vision was od: 3/10 and os: 10/10. there was severe adduction deficiency of the re with simultaneous abduction of the re in left gaze. she had xt= 35 in ...

Abstract We consider the structure of divergence-free vector measures on plane. show that such can be decomposed into induced by closed simple curves. More generally, we if divergence a planar vector-valued measure is signed measure, then curves (not necessarily closed). As an application generalize certain rigidity properties fields to measures. Namely, locally finite has zero divergence, vani...

Entropy-based divergence measures have shown promising results in many areas of engineering and image processing. In this paper, we define a new generalized divergence measure, namely, the Jensen–Rényi divergence. Some properties such as convexity and its upper bound are derived. Based on the Jensen–Rényi divergence, we propose a new approach to the problem of image registration. Some appealing...

The convex divergence is used as a surrogate function for obtaining a class of ICA algorithms (Independent Component Analysis) called the f-ICA. The convex divergence is a super class of α-divergence, which is a further upper family of Kullback-Leibler divergence or mutual information. Therefore, the f-ICA contains the α-ICA and the minimum mutual information ICA. In addition to theoretical int...

Entropy-based divergence measures have shown promising results in many areas of engineering and image processing. In this paper, a generalized information-theoretic measure called Jensen-Rényi divergence is proposed. Some properties such as convexity and its upper bound are derived. Using the Jensen-Rényi divergence, we propose a new approach to the problem of ISAR (Inverse Synthetic Aperture R...
