The exponential distribution as the sum of discontinuous distributions
Journal Title: Bulletin of Computational Applied Mathematics (Bull CompAMa) - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
We show that for any natural number $n$, an exponential distribution can be written as the sum of $n$ discontinuous variables and another exponential distribution, all of them independent.

Motion planning algorithms, topological properties and affine approximation
The topological study of the so-called "motion planning algorithms" emerged in the 2003-2004 with the works of M. Farber. We focus here on the topological study of the set of these algorithms, when the configuration spac...
Some Convergence Strategies for the Alternating Generalized Projection Method
In this paper we extend the application of the alternating projection algorithm to solve the problem of finding a point in the intersection of $n$ sets ($n\geq2$), which are not all of them convex sets. Here we term such...

Global improvements of a protein alignment algorithm and comparison with a global optimization solver
The LovoAlign method for Protein Alignment, based on the Low-Order Value Optimization theory, is recalled. The method is modified in order to improve global convergence properties and compared against other global minimi...
A convex optimization approach for solving large scale linear systems
The well-known Conjugate Gradient (CG) method minimizes a strictly convex quadratic function for solving large-scale linear system of equations when the coefficient matrix is symmetric and positive definite. In this wo...
