Almost Sure Central Limit Theory for Self-Normalized Products of Sums of Partial Sums
Let X,X1,X2,… be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables in the domain of attraction of a normal law. An almost sure limit theorem for the self-normalized products of sums of partial sums is established
Sufficient and Necessary Conditions of Complete Convergence for Weighted Sums of PNQD Random Variables
The complete convergence for pairwise negative quadrant dependent (PNQD) random variables is studied. So far there has not been the general moment inequality for
PNQD sequence, and therefore the study of the limit theory for PNQD sequence is very difficult and challenging. We establish a collection that contains relationship to overcome the difficulties that there is no general moment inequality. Sufficient and necessary conditions of complete convergence for weighted sums of PNQD random variables are obtained. Our results generalize and improve those on complete convergence theorems previously obtained by Baum and Katz (1965) and Wu (2002)
Complete integral convergence for weighted sums of negatively dependent random variables under sub-linear expectations
In the paper, the complete convergence and complete integral convergence for weighted sums of negatively dependent random variables under the sub-linear expectations are established. The results in the paper extend some complete moment convergence theorems from the classical probability space to the situation of sub-linear expectation space
Fabrication and Spectral Properties of Wood-Based Luminescent Nanocomposites
Pressure impregnation pretreatment is a conventional method to fabricate wood-based nanocomposites. In this paper, the wood-based luminescent nanocomposites were fabricated with the method and its spectral properties were investigated. The results show that it is feasible to fabricate wood-based luminescent nanocomposites using microwave modified wood and nanophosphor powders. The luminescent strength is in positive correlation with the amount of phosphor powders dispersed in urea-formaldehyde resin. Phosphors absorb UV and blue light efficiently in the range of 400–470 nm and show a broad band of bluish-green emission centered at 500 nm, which makes them good candidates for potential blue-green luminescent materials
Modified Biogeography-Based Optimization with Local Search Mechanism
Biogeography-based optimization (BBO) is a new effective population optimization algorithm based on the biogeography theory with inherently insufficient exploration capability. To address this limitation, we proposed a modified BBO with local search mechanism (denoted as MLBBO). In MLBBO, a modified migration operator is integrated into BBO, which can adopt more information from other habitats, to enhance the exploration ability. Then, a local search mechanism is used in BBO to supplement with modified migration operator. Extensive experimental tests are conducted on 27 benchmark functions to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. The simulation results have been compared with original BBO, DE, improved BBO algorithms, and other evolutionary algorithms. Finally, the performance of the modified migration operator and local search mechanism are also discussed
