Positive periodic solutions for higher order functional difference equations
In this paper, we apply a fixed point theorem to obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of positive periodic solutions for two classes of higher-order functional differenc...

The Fixed Point Property in Synthetic Domain Theory
We present an elementary axiomatisation of synthetic domain theory and show that it is sufficient to deduce the fixed point property and solve domain equations. Models of these a...

On the Convergence Properties of Contrastive Divergence
Contrastive Divergence (CD) is a popular method for estimating the parameters of Markov Random Fields (MRFs) by rapidly approximating an intractable term in the gradient of the lo...

Market Equilibria in Polynomial Time for Fixed Number of Goods or Agents
We consider markets in the classical Arrow-Debreu model. There are n agents and m goods. Each buyer has a concave utility function (of the bundle of goods he/she buys) and an init...

Measuring system performance and topic discernment using generalized adaptive-weight mean
Standard approaches to evaluating and comparing information retrieval systems compute simple averages of performance statistics across individual topics to measure the overall sys...
