Distributed SLAM Using Improved Particle Filter for Mobile Robot Localization by Fujun Pei, Mei Wu, Simin Zhang

“…And this paper extends the previously known convergence results for particle filter to prove that improved particle filter converges to the optimal filter in mean square as the number of particles goes to infinity. The experiment results show that the proposed algorithm improved the virtue of the DPF-SLAM system in isolate faults and enabled the system to have a better tolerance and robustness.…”

Global bifurcation of positive solutions for a superlinear $p$-Laplacian system by Lijuan Yang, Ruyun Ma

“…We are concerned with the principal eigenvalue of \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -\Delta_p u= \lambda\theta_1\varphi_p(v), &x\in \Omega,\\ -\Delta_p v= \lambda\theta_2\varphi_p(u), &x\in \Omega,\\ u=0=v,\ &x\in\partial\Omega \end{cases} \tag{P} \end{equation*} and the global structure of positive solutions for the system \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -\Delta_p u= \lambda f(v), &x\in \Omega,\\ -\Delta_p v= \lambda g(u), &x\in \Omega,\\ u=0=v,\ &x\in\partial\Omega, \end{cases} \tag{Q} \end{equation*} where $\varphi_p(s)=|s|^{p-2}s$, $\Delta_p s=\text{div}(|\nabla s|^{p-2}\nabla s)$, $\lambda>0$ is a parameter, $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$, $N> 2$, is a bounded domain with smooth boundary $\partial\Omega$, $f,g:\mathbb{R}\to(0,\infty)$ are continuous functions with $p$-superlinear growth at infinity. We obtain the principal eigenvalue of $(P)$ by using a nonlinear Krein–Rutman theorem and the unbounded branch of positive solutions for $(Q)$ via bifurcation technology.…”

Robust Semiparametric Optimal Testing Procedure for Multiple Normal Means by Peng Liu, Chong Wang

“…We show that the proposed test achieves the maximum average power asymptotically as the number of tests goes to infinity. Both simulation study and the analysis of a real microarray data with spike-in probes show that the proposed SPOT procedure performs better when compared to other popularly applied procedures.…”

Non-homogeneous BVPs for second-order symmetric Hamiltonian systems by Chen Yingying, Dong Yujun, Wang Baiqian

“…By making use of Bolle’s method, we show that the following problem has infinitely many solutions: x¨+V′(x)=0,x(0)cosα−x˙(0)sinα=x0,x(1)cosβ−x˙(1)sinβ=x1,\begin{array}{rcl}\ddot{x}+{V}^{^{\prime} }\left(x)& =& 0,\\ x\left(0)\cos \alpha -\dot{x}\left(0)\sin \alpha & =& {x}_{0},\\ x\left(1)\cos \beta -\dot{x}\left(1)\sin \beta & =& {x}_{1},\end{array} where α,β∈(0,π)x0,x1∈Rn\alpha ,\beta \in \left(0,\pi ){x}_{0},{x}_{1}\in {{\rm{R}}}^{n} are given and V∈C2(Rn,R)V\in {C}^{2}\left({{\rm{R}}}^{n},{\rm{R}}) is even and is super-quadratic at infinity.…”

Optimality criteria for deterministic discrete-time infinite horizon optimization by Irwin E. Schochetman, Robert L. Smith

“…Our main result concerns the case where the discounted per-period costs converge to zero, while the discounted total costs diverge to infinity. Under the assumption that we can reach from any feasible state any feasible sequence of states in bounded time, we show that every efficient solution is also overtaking, thus providing a sufficient condition for overtaking optima to exist.…”

On the Regular Integral Solutions of a Generalized Bessel Differential Equation by L. M. B. C. Campos, F. Moleiro, M. J. S. Silva, J. Paquim

“…The solutions of the generalized Bessel differential equation are obtained for all possible combinations of the two complex parameters, order and degree, and finite complex variable, as Frobenius-Fuchs series around the regular singularity at the origin; the series converge in the whole complex plane of the variable, except for the point-at-infinity, that is, the only other singularity of the differential equation. …”

A test on the location of tangency portfolio for small sample size and singular covariance matrix by Svitlana Drin, Stepan Mazur, Stanislas Muhinyuza

“…Furthermore, the high-dimensional asymptotic distribution of that test statistic is established when both the rank of the population covariance matrix and the sample size increase to infinity so that $r/n\to c\in (0,1)$. Theoretical findings are completed by comparing the high-dimensional asymptotic test with an exact finite sample test in the numerical study. …”

Multiple Positive Solutions of Singular Nonlinear Sturm-Liouville Problems with Carathéodory Perturbed Term by Yuefeng Han, Xinguang Zhang, Lishan Liu, Yonghong Wu

“…This equation is viewed as a perturbation of the fourth-order Sturm-Liouville problem, where the perturbed term g:(0,1)×[0,+∞)×(-∞,+∞)→(-∞,+∞) only satisfies the global Carathéodory conditions, which implies that the perturbed effect of g on f is quite large so that the nonlinearity can tend to negative infinity at some singular points.…”
