Abstract: In this document, we consider a median-based calculus for efficiently representing polynomial functions over distributive lattices. We extend an equational specification of median forms from ...

Organized electricity markets often require submission of supply functions ahead of the realization of uncertain demand. As a model of oligopoly behavior, the Nash condition of supply function ...

Starting from two mutually alternative definitions of Hermite polynomials, we derive new relations between these polynomials for arbitrarily stretched arguments. Furthermore, some operational ...

Polynomial functions containing terms with non-integer powers are studied to disclose possible approaches for obtaining their roots as well as employing them for curve-fitting purposes. Several ...

A derivative is a function which measures the slope. It depends upon x in some way, and is found by differentiating a function of the form y = f (x). When x is substituted into the derivative, the ...
