Cover Story: In the oscillatory regime, inverse methods are required to unveil the time course of the synaptic conductance gsyn(t). We propose a three-step strategy: (1) fit data of a measurable quantity (e.g., the membrane potential v(t)) to a reference model, (2) approximate the period–conductance relationship (T–g curve) associated to the model, and (3) for each interspike time period, estimate gsyn from the T–g curve.

The Riemann-Lebesgue Integral of Interval-Valued Multifunctions

  • Danilo Costarelli,
  • Anca Croitoru,
  • Alina Gavriluţ,
  • Alina Iosif and
  • Anna Rita Sambucini

20 December 2020

We study Riemann-Lebesgue integrability for interval-valued multifunctions relative to an interval-valued set multifunction. Some classic properties of the RL integral, such as monotonicity, order continuity, bounded variation, convergence are obtain...

  • Leonid L. Golubyatnikov and
  • Nina G. Ulanova

20 December 2020

In matrix population modeling the multi-year monitoring of a population structure results in a set of annual population projection matrices (PPMs), which gives rise to the stochastic growth rate λS, a quantitative measure of long-term populati...

On a Certain Generalized Functional Equation for Set-Valued Functions

  • Yaroslav Bazaykin,
  • Dušan Bednařík,
  • Veronika Borůvková and
  • Tomáš Zuščák

19 December 2020

The aim of the paper is to generalize results by Sikorska on some functional equations for set-valued functions. In the paper, a tool is described for solving a generalized type of an integral-functional equation for a set-valued function F:X→cc...

Improving the Teaching of Hypothesis Testing Using a Divide-and-Conquer Strategy and Content Exposure Control in a Gamified Environment

  • David Delgado-Gómez,
  • Franks González-Landero,
  • Carlos Montes-Botella,
  • Aaron Sujar,
  • Sofia Bayona and
  • Luca Martino

19 December 2020

Hypothesis testing has been pointed out as one of the statistical topics in which students present more misconceptions. In this article, an approach based on the divide-and-conquer methodology is proposed to facilitate its learning. The proposed stra...

A Path Planning Algorithm for a Dynamic Environment Based on Proper Generalized Decomposition

  • Antonio Falcó,
  • Lucía Hilario,
  • Nicolás Montés,
  • Marta C. Mora and
  • Enrique Nadal

19 December 2020

A necessity in the design of a path planning algorithm is to account for the environment. If the movement of the mobile robot is through a dynamic environment, the algorithm needs to include the main constraint: real-time collision avoidance. This ki...

In this paper, we recall a more generalized integral transform, a generalized convolution product and a generalized first variation on function space. The Gaussian process and the bounded linear operators on function space are used to define them. We...

On the Size of Subclasses of Quasi-Copulas and Their Dedekind–MacNeille Completion

  • Fabrizio Durante,
  • Juan Fernández-Sánchez,
  • Wolfgang Trutschnig and
  • Manuel Úbeda-Flores

18 December 2020

We study some topological properties of the class of supermodular n-quasi-copulas and check that the topological size of the Dedekind–MacNeille completion of the set of n-copulas is small, in terms of the Baire category, in the Dedekind–M...

  • Reny George,
  • Abdelkader Belhenniche,
  • Sfya Benahmed,
  • Zoran D. Mitrović,
  • Nabil Mlaiki and
  • Liliana Guran

18 December 2020

In this paper, we give an affirmative answer to an open question posed recently by Mlaiki et al. As a consequence of our results, we get some known results in the literature. We also give an application of our results to the existence of a solution o...
