Bounds And Comparisons For Weighted Renewal-Type Integral Equations, Broderick O. Oluyede Jan 2007

Bounds And Comparisons For Weighted Renewal-Type Integral Equations, Broderick O. Oluyede

Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications

In this note, inequalities and bounds for weighted renewal-type integral equations are presented. Some upper and lower bounds for the weighted renewal-type integral equations with monotone weight functions are derived. Some upper and lower bounds for the weighted renewal-type equations with monotone weight functions are derived. Bounds for the difference between two weighted renewal functions as well between the parent and weighted renewal functions are obtained in terms of the parent renewal reliability functions and their first and second moments. Relations for renewal-type integrals of the ruin probability are presented. Some inequalities, bounds and convergence results are also established.


On Energy And Expected Uncertainty Measures In Weighted Distributions, Broderick O. Oluyede, Mekki Terbeche Jan 2007

On Energy And Expected Uncertainty Measures In Weighted Distributions, Broderick O. Oluyede, Mekki Terbeche

Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications

In this note, bounds and inequalities for the comparisons of weighted energy functions, entropy, and discrimination information measures and their unweighted counterparts are presented. Inequalities for weighted expected uncertainty, cross-entropy or discrimination information measures are also presented. A useful result on the convergence of the weighted kernel density informational energy estimates is given and some informational energy applications presented.
