The Kumaraswamy Pareto IV Distribution
(Austrian Statistical Society, 2021)
We introduce a new model named the Kumaraswamy Pareto IV distribution which extends the Pareto and Pareto IV distributions. The density function is very flexible and can be left-skewed, right-skewed and symmetrical shapes. ...
Lower Semicontinuity in L¹ of a Class of Functionals Defined on BV with Caratheodory Integrands
(Hindawi Limited, 2021)
We prove lower semicontinuity in 𝐿¹(Ω) for a class of functionals 𝒢 :𝐵𝑉(Ω) →ℝ of the form 𝒢(𝑢)=∫Ω𝑔(𝑥, 𝛻𝑢)𝑑𝑥 + ∫Ω𝜓(𝑥)𝑑|Dˢ𝑢| where 𝑔 :Ω⨉ℝᴺ→ℝ, Ω⊂ℝᴺ is open and bounded, 𝑔(.,𝑝) ∊ 𝐿¹(Ω) for each 𝑝 satisfies ...
