Abstract Let μ1, μ2, … be a sequence of positive Borel measures on ℝ each of which is supported on a set having no finite limit points. Suppose the sequence μn weakly converges to a Borel measure ν.

In this article the problem of obtaining the maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters from a special type of linear combination of discrete probability functions is discussed. It is shown that ...

The elastic strain sustainable in crystal lattices is usually limited by the onset of inelastic yielding mediated by discrete dislocation activity, displacive deformation twinning and stress-induced ...
