Conditional varianceIn probability theory and statistics, a conditional variance is the variance of a random variable given the value(s) of one or more other variables. Particularly in econometrics, the conditional variance is also known as the scedastic function or skedastic function. Conditional variances are important parts of autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARCH) models. The conditional variance of a random variable Y given another random variable X is The conditional variance tells us how much variance is left if we use to "predict" Y.
Dual systemIn mathematics, a dual system, dual pair, or duality over a field is a triple consisting of two vector spaces and over and a non-degenerate bilinear map . Duality theory, the study of dual systems, is part of functional analysis. It is separate and distinct to Dual-system Theory in psychology. Pairings A or pair over a field is a triple which may also be denoted by consisting of two vector spaces and over (which this article assumes is the field either of real numbers or the complex numbers ).
Strong dual spaceIn functional analysis and related areas of mathematics, the strong dual space of a topological vector space (TVS) is the continuous dual space of equipped with the strong (dual) topology or the topology of uniform convergence on bounded subsets of where this topology is denoted by or The coarsest polar topology is called weak topology. The strong dual space plays such an important role in modern functional analysis, that the continuous dual space is usually assumed to have the strong dual topology unless indicated otherwise.
Plurisubharmonic functionIn mathematics, plurisubharmonic functions (sometimes abbreviated as psh, plsh, or plush functions) form an important class of functions used in complex analysis. On a Kähler manifold, plurisubharmonic functions form a subset of the subharmonic functions. However, unlike subharmonic functions (which are defined on a Riemannian manifold) plurisubharmonic functions can be defined in full generality on complex analytic spaces.
Courbe convexeIn geometry, a convex curve is a plane curve that has a supporting line through each of its points. There are many other equivalent definitions of these curves, going back to Archimedes. Examples of convex curves include the convex polygons, the boundaries of convex sets, and the graphs of convex functions. Important subclasses of convex curves include the closed convex curves (the boundaries of bounded convex sets), the smooth curves that are convex, and the strictly convex curves, which have the additional property that each supporting line passes through a unique point of the curve.
Théorème de Banach-Alaoglu-BourbakiLe théorème de Banach-Alaoglu-Bourbaki est un résultat de compacité en analyse fonctionnelle, dû à Stefan Banach dans le cas d'un espace vectoriel normé séparable et généralisé en 1938 par Leonidas Alaoglu puis Nicolas Bourbaki. Si E est un R-espace vectoriel topologique et V un voisinage de 0, alors l'ensemble polaire V° de V, défini par est une partie compacte du dual topologique E' pour la topologie faible-*.
