The asymmetric skew divergence smooths one of the distributions by mixing it, to a degree determined by the parameter λ, with the other distribution. Such divergence is an approximation of the KL divergence that does not require the target distribution to be absolutely continuous with respect to the source distribution. In this paper, an information geometric generalization of the skew divergence called the α-geodesical skew divergence is proposed, and its properties are studied.

The asymmetric skew divergence smooths one of the distributions by mixing it, to a degree determined by the parameter $\lambda$, with the other distribution. Such divergence is an approximation of the KL divergence that does not require the target distribution to be absolutely continuous with respect to the source distribution. In this paper, an information geometric generalization of the skew divergence called the $\alpha$-geodesical skew divergence is proposed, and its properties are studied.

It has long been known, after Wiener (e.g. see (11), vol. 1, p. 108, (5), (8), §5·6)) that a measure μ whose Fourier transform vanishes at infinity is continuous, and generally, that μ is continuous if and only if is small ‘on the average’. Baker (1) has pursued this theme and obtained concise necessary and sufficient conditions for the continuity of μ, again expressed in terms of the rate of decrease of . On the other hand, for continuous μ, Rudin (9) points out the difficulty in obtaining criteria based solely on the asymptotic behaviour of by which one may determine whether μ has a singular component. The object of this paper is to show further that any such criteria must be complicated indeed. We shall show that the absolutely continuous measures on T = [0, 2π) whose Fourier transforms are the most well-behaved (namely, those of the form (1/2π)f(x)dx, where f has an absolutely convergent Fourier series) are such that one may modify their transforms on ‘large’ subsets of Z so that they become the transforms of singular continuous measures. Moreover, the singular continuous measures in question may be chosen so that their Fourier transforms do not vanish at infinity.

Energy emerges as a strategic issue as industrial countries begin to strive to increase their economic growth. This condition is related to the need for source, distribution and price of guaranteed energy sources. The achievement of these conditions will not be easy because the must compete each other for energy accsess. However, for developing countries with considerable energy reserves this condition leads them in two situations where the first will be a bargaining power that leads to the achievement of national interests and on the other hand will be a curse that makes them an object of exploitation of advanced industrial countries. Referring to these conditions Indonesia is a country with a lot of resources. Therefore, this paper describes the dynamics of global energy politics and how Indonesia should take advantage of the opportunity of the dynamics of global energy politics.Keywords: global energy politics, industrial countries, Indonesia

Based on independent random samples from two absolutely continuous distributions, asymptotically distribution-free and consistent tests are proposed for testing that two distributions are identical except for an unknown location parameter against the alternative that one is dispersive ordered with respect to the other. These tests are based on weighted combinations of ratios of spacings. AMS 1980 Subject Classification: Primary 62Gl0, secondary 62G30.

AbstractWe study cosine and sine Fourier transforms defined by F(t):= (2/π) and (t):= (2/π), where f is L1-integrable over[0, ∞]. We also assume than F are locally absolutely continuous over [0, ∞). In particular, this is the case if both f(x) and xf(x) are (L1-integrable over [0, ∞). Motivated by the inversion formulas, we consider the partial integras Sν (f, x):= and ν(f, x):= , the modified partial integrals uν (f, x):= sν(f, x) - F(ν)(sin νx)/x and ũν(f, x):= ν(f, x) + (ν) (cos νx)/x, where ν > 0. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for(L1 [0, ∞)-convergence of uν (f) and ũν (f) as well as for the L1 [0, X]-convergence of sν (f) and ν(f) to f as ν← ∞, where 0 < X < ∞ is fixed. On the other hand, in certain cases we conclude that sν(f) and ν(f) cannot belong to (L1 [0,∞). Conequently, it makes no sense to speak of their (L1 [0, ∞)-convergence as ν ← ∞.As an intermediate tool, we use the Cesàro means of Fourier transforms. Then we prove Tauberian type results and apply Sidon type inequalities in order to obtain Tauberian conditions of Hardy-Karamata kind.We extend these results to the complex Fourier transform defined by G(t):= , where g is L1- integrable over (−∞, ∞).

Introduction. The integral operators we shall be concerned with can be described with the help of the following:Definition. A function F(u, v) will be called a primitive, if it is defined on the square 0 ≥ u, v ≥ 1, and satisfies the conditions (i) F(u, v) = 0 if u ≥ v; (ii) F(u, v) is a.c. (absolutely continuous) in each variable; (iii) there is a function p ∈ L(0, 1) such that |F1(u, v)| ≤ p(u), |F2(u, v)| ≤ p(v)a.e. (almost everywhere) on the square, where F1(u, v), F2(u, v) denote the partial derivatives of F(u, v) with respect to u, v respectively. It is not difficult to see that conditions (ii), (iii) imply that F(u, v) is a.c. in each variable uniformly with respect to the other variable or, as we say, is equi-a.c. in each variable. Thus, in the above definition, condition (iii) can be replaced by (iii), there is a p ∈ L(0, 1) such that for each v ∈ [0, 1], |F1(u, v)| ≤ p(u) a.e. in [0, 1] and for each v ∈ [0, 1], |F2(u, v)| ≤ p(u)a.e. in [0, 1].

It is well known that the sequence of digits of regular continued fractions with the Gauss measure is ψ-mixing. In this paper we consider a class of semiregular continued fractions which are called α-continued fractions for α, 1/2≤α≤1. We show that the sequence of digits of α-continued fractions with the absolutely continuous invariant measure is absolutely regular for every α, 1/2≤α≤1, on the other hand, it is not φ-mixing for almost every α, 1/2≤α≤1.

We call two measures equivalent if each is absolutely continuous with respect to the other (cf. [1]). Let G be a locally compact topological group and let μ be a non-negative Baire measure on G (i.e. μ is denned on all Baire sets, finite on compact sets and positive on open sets). We say that μ is stable if μ (E)=0 implies μ(tE)=0 for each t ∈ G. A. M. Macbeath made the conjecture that every stable non-trivial Baire measure is equivalent to the Haar measure. In this paper we prove the following slightly stronger result:Theorem. Every stable non-trivial measure defined on Baire sets and finite on some open set is equivalent to the Haar measure.


Recent measurements of the number of cosmic y-ray bursts per year at small flux levels continue to show significant deviations from the N (> S ) S -3/2 power law for the rate N ( > S ) at size S which would apply to a uniform source distribution. In particular Fishman et al. (1978) and Agrawal et al. (1979) find flux limits two orders of magnitude lower than those expected when the Vela (Strong & Klebesadel 1974) data are extrapolated by the S -3/2 -law to flux levels 5 x 10 -8 erg cm -2 . Spherical halo, monoluminosity source distributions discussed by Jennings & White (1980) have failed to satisfy these data although they are consistent with triangulation results obtained by spacecraft networks on a few individual burst arrival directions (Hurley 1980). On the other hand, thick disc source models seem to satisfy the observed lg N -lg S distribution.
