Electromagnetic and acoustic scattering problems can be usually formulated by suitable integral equations, where the kernel is given in terms of the fundamental solution of the Helmholtz operator. We can consider a special analytic method for the singular value expansion (SVE) of this integral...

The distribution of the aggregate claims in one year plays an important role in Actuarial Statistics for computing, for example, insurance premiums when both the number and size of the claims must be implemented into the model. When the number of claims follows a Poisson distribution the...

Ann-dimensional random vector is said to have an[alpha]-symmetric distribution,[alpha]0, if its characteristic function is of the form[phi]((u1[alpha]+...+un[alpha])1/[alpha]). We study the classes[Phi]n([alpha]) of all admissible functions[phi]: [0, [infinity])--. It is known that members...
