Finite Gaussian \u0000 mixture models are commonly used for this purpose. However, the parametric form of the distribution is not always known. In this case, non-parametric \u0000 density estimation methods are used. Usually, these methods become computationally demanding as the number of components increases. In this paper, \u0000 a comparative study of accuracy of some nonparametric density estimators is made by means of simulation. The following approaches have been considered: \u0000 an adaptive bandwidth kernel estimator, a projection pursuit estimator, a logspline estimator, and a k-nearest neighbor estimator. It was concluded that \u0000 data clustering as a pre-processing step improves the estimation of mixture densities. However, in case data does not have clearly defined clusters, \u0000 the pre-preprocessing step does not give that much of advantage. The application of density estimators is illustrated using municipal solid waste data \u0000 collected in Kaunas (Lithuania). The data distribution is similar (i.e., with kurtotic unimodal density) to the benchmark distribution introduced by \u0000 Marron and Wand. Based on the homogeneity tests it can be concluded that distributions of the municipal solid waste fractions in Kutaisi (Georgia), \u0000 Saint-Petersburg (Russia), and Boryspil (Ukraine) are statistically indifferent compared to the distribution of waste fractions in Kaunas. The distribution \u0000 of waste data collected in Kaunas (Lithuania) follows the general observations introduced by Marron and Wand (i.e., has one mode and certain kurtosis).","PeriodicalId":49861,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical Modelling and Analysis","volume":"144 4","pages":"622-641"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2020-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72416824","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The model is a simplified, yet representative, version of multicomponents reactive transport models. The numerical \u0000 scheme is based on an operator splitting method, the advection and diffusion operators are solved separately using the upwind finite volume method and the mixed \u0000 finite element method (MFEM) respectively. The discrete nonlinear system is solved by the Newton–Krylov method, where the linear system at each Newton step is \u0000 itself solved by a Krylov type method, avoiding the storage of the full Jacobian matrix. A critical aspect of the method is an efficient matrix-free preconditioner. \u0000 Our aim is, on the one hand to analyze the convergence of fixed-point algorithms. On the other hand we introduce preconditioning techniques for this system, \u0000 respecting its block structure then we propose an alternative formulation based on the elimination of one of the unknowns. In both cases, we prove that the \u0000 eigenvalues of the preconditioned Jacobian matrices are bounded independently of the mesh size, so that the number of outer Newton iterations, as well as \u0000 the number of inner GMRES iterations, are independent of the mesh size.

Also, if the supplier permits for delay in payment, retailer wishes to buy more goods, and for which the retailer may need extra storage (in terms of a rented warehouse). Moreover, the retailer has always wished to sell the items before they expire and accordingly order is placed. Mostly the parameters in a real world inventory model are imprecise. Thus, in the proposed study an inventory model having decreasing time dependent demand pattern with variable holding cost for TwoStorage facility under acceptable delay in payment has been developed. Mathematical model of the problem and its solution procedure is discussed for both crisp and fuzzy environment in order to obtain the optimal replenishment time and cost.
