48 results for Lehmer Mean

We propose a new class of transforms that we call {\it Lehmer Transform} which is motivated by the {\it Lehmer mean function}. The proposed {\it Lehmer transform} decomposes a function of a sample into their constituting statistical moments. Theoretical properties of the proposed transform are presented. This transform…

SmartDCA improves investment returns by adjusting purchases based on prices.

problem Inefficiency of Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) in volatile markets.
method Developed SmartDCA, a more efficient investment strategy that adjusts purchases based on price levels, and analyzed its performance using mathematical inequalities and mean definitions.
result SmartDCA outperforms DCA in long-term investments, with higher performance gains for higher power values of ρρ.

Lehmer's question is equivalent to one about generalized growth rates of Lefschetz numbers of iterated pseudo-Anosov surface homeomorphisms. One need consider only homeomorphisms that arise as monodromies of fibered knots in lens spaces L(n,1), n>0. Lehmer's question for Perron polynomials is equivalent to one about ge…

This paper addresses a long standing open problem due to Lehmer in which the triple 2,3,7 plays a notable role. Lehmer's problem asks whether there is a gap between 1 and the next smallest algebraic integer with respect to Mahler measure. The question has been studied in a wide range of contexts including number theory…

Study on mapping classes of real rational surface automorphisms, focusing on reducible maps and pseudo-Anosov maps.

problem Investigating the mapping classes of real rational surface automorphisms and their restrictions.
method Analysis of reducible maps, determination of pseudo-Anosov mapping classes, and comparison with Penner's construction.
result Realized Lehmer's number as the stretch factor of a pseudo-Anosov map on a specific surface.

We reformulate Lehmer's question from 1933 and a question due to Schinzel and Zassenhaus from 1965 in terms of a comparison of the Mahler measures and the houses, respectively, of monic integer reciprocal and skew-reciprocal polynomials of the same degree. This entails that understanding the difference between orientat…

Lueck expressed the Gromov norm of a knot complement in terms of an infinite series that can be computed from a presentation of the fundamental group of the knot complement. In this note we show that Lueck's formula, applied to torus knots, yields surprising power series expansions for the logarithm function. This gene…

This paper presents a construction of fibered links (K,Σ)(K,Σ) out of chord diagrams $\sL$. Let ΓΓ be the incidence graph of $\sL$. Under certain conditions on $\sL$ the symmetrized Seifert matrix of (K,Σ)(K,Σ) equals the bilinear form of the simply-laced Coxeter system (W,S)(W,S) associated to ΓΓ; and the monodromy of $(K,Σ)…

In this paper we prove that there is a direct relationship between Salem numbers and translation lengths of hyperbolic elements of arithmetic hyperbolic groups that are determined by a quadratic form over a totally real number field. As an application we determine a sharp lower bound for the length of a closed geodesic…

The (torsion) complexity of a finite edge-weighted graph is defined to be the order of the torsion subgroup of the abelian group presented by its Laplacian matrix. When G is d-periodic (i.e., G has a free action of the rank-d free abelian group by graph automorphisms, with finite quotient) the Mahler measure of its Lap…

method Median-of-means sampling compared to mean-of-means using RQMC methods.
result Median-of-means sampling is superior for large sample sizes, while mean-of-means is better for smaller sample sizes.

Diffusion means converge to extrinsic means for long times on spheres.

problem Understanding the long-time behavior of diffusion means on manifolds.
method Introduced diffusion means as a parameterized family of location statistics on manifolds, and analyzed their convergence to extrinsic means for long times.
result For real projective spaces and connected compact symmetric spaces, the long-time limit of diffusion means is conjectured to be the extrinsic mean in the isometric embedding.

Clustering is a separation of data into groups of similar objects. Every group called cluster consists of objects that are similar to one another and dissimilar to objects of other groups. In this paper, the K-Means algorithm is implemented by three distance functions and to identify the optimal distance function for c…
