On graduation of enrolment size in a multi-echelon educational system
Journal Title: Mathematica Applicanda. Annales Societatis Mathematicae Polonae Series III . - Year 2017, Vol 45, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper focuses on an educational system wherein demotion and double promotion are not allowed. The total enrolment in such a system is modelled as a linear model within the context of factor analysis. The goal is to represent the total enrolment in terms of latent factors which generate the flows in the system. The notion of matrix spectrum and spectral radius are used to benchmark the specific variances and to approximate the factor loading vector, respectively. Two main theorems are propounded alongside with their proofs. A numerical illustration is given.

Common-Knowledge and Bayesian Equilibrium in Network Game
In this paper we investigate equilibriums in the Bayesian routing problem of the network game introduced by Koutsoupias and Papadimitriou [LNCS 1563, pp.404-413. Springer (1999)]. We treat epistemic conditions for Nas...

The Bruss-Robertson inequality gives a bound on the maximal number of elements of a random sample whose sum is less than a specified value, and the extension of that inequality which is given here neither requires the in...
Selected applications of differential equations in Vanilla Options valuation.
In financial models one of the basic assumptions about investors is that they want to gain as much as it is possible but they have aversion taking the risk. Each investing strategy can be considered as a compromise betwe...
Markov morphisms: a combined copula and mass transportation approach to multivariate quantiles
Our purpose is both conceptual and practical. On the one hand, we discuss the question which properties are basic ingredients of a general conceptual notion of a multivariate quantile. We propose and argue that the objec...
