On Marshall-Olkin Extended Weibull Distribution
Hanan Haj Ahmad, Omar M. Bdair, M. Ahsanullah
Pages: 1 - 17
In this paper, we introduce a new form of distributions called ”Marshall-Olkin Extended Weibull distribution” MOEW. We study some of its structural properties and the shape of its hazard rate function. We provide some methods of point estimation for the unknown parameters and discuss its asymptotic properties....

Asymptotic behavior of discrete holomorphic maps zc and log(z)
Sergey I. Agafonov
Pages: 1 - 14
It is shown that discrete analogs of zc and log(z), defined via particular "integrable" circle patterns, have the same asymptotic behavior as their smooth counterparts. These discrete maps are described in terms of special solutions of discrete Painlevé-II equations, asymptotics of these solutions providing...

Comparisons Between Vector and Matrix Padé Approximants
Claude Brezinski
Pages: 1 - 12
In this paper, we compare the degrees and the orders of approximation of vector and matrix Padé approximants for series with matrix coefficients. It is shown that, in this respect, vector Padé approximants have better properties. Then, matrixvector Padé approximants are defined and constructed. Finally,...

Lax Pairs, Painlevé Properties and Exact Solutions of the Calogero Korteweg-de Vries Equation and a New (2 + 1)-Dimensional Equation
Song-Ju Yu, Kouichi Toda
Pages: 1 - 13
We prove the existence of a Lax pair for the Calogero Korteweg-de Vries (CKdV) equation. Moreover, we modify the T operator in the the Lax pair of the CKdV equation, in the search of a (2 + 1)-dimensional case and thereby propose a new equation in (2+1) dimensions. We named this the (2+1)-dimensional...
