Expert knowledge elicitation (EKE) aims at obtaining individual representations of experts’ beliefs and render them in the form of probability distributions or functions. In many cases the elicited distributions differ and the challenge in Bayesian inference is then to find ways to reconcile discrepant elicited prior distributions. This paper proposes the parallel analysis of clusters of prior distributions through a hierarchical method for clustering distributions and that can be readily extended to functional data. The proposed method consists of (i) transforming the infinite-dimensional problem into a finite-dimensional one, (ii) using the Hellinger distance to compute the distances between curves and thus (iii) obtaining a hierarchical clustering structure. In a simulation study the proposed method was compared to k-means and agglomerative nesting algorithms and the results showed that the proposed method outperformed those algorithms. Finally, the proposed method is illustrated through an EKE experiment and other functional data sets.

Shimizu, Aiyoshi and Katayama have recently given a finite dimensional generalization of the classical Farkas Lemma. In this note we show that a result of Pshenichnyi on convex programming can be used to give a generalization of the result of Shimizu, Aiyoshi and Katayama to infinite dimensional spaces. A generalized Farkas Lemma of Glover is also obtained.

The dual formulation of the maximal-minimal problem for an objective function of the error response to a fixed input in the continuous-time systems is given by a result of Fenchel dual. This formulation probably changes the original problem in the infinite dimensional space into the maximal problem with some restrained conditions in the finite dimensional space, which can be researched by finite dimensional space theory. When the objective function is given by the norm of the error response, the maximum of the error response or minimum of the error response, the dual formulation for the problems of L1-optimal control, the minimum of maximal error response, and the minimal overshoot etc. can be obtained, which gives a method for studying these problems.

The definitions of finite dimensional baric, train, and special train algebras, and of genetic algebras in the senses of Schafer and Gonshor (which coincide when the ground field is algebraically closed, and which I call special triangular) are given in Worz-Busekros's monograph [8]. In [6] I introduced applications requiring infinite dimensional generalisations. The elements of these algebras were infinite linear forms in basis elements a0, a1,… and complex coefficients such that In this paper I consider only algebras whose elements are forms which only a finite number of the xi are non zero.

Recently, Kupershmidt [38] presented a Lie algebraic derivation of a new sixth-order wave equation, which was proposed by Karasu-Kalkani et al. [31]. In this paper, we demonstrate that Kupershmidt's method can be interpreted as an infinite-dimensional analogue of the Euler–Poincaré–Suslov (EPS) formulation. In a finite-dimensional case, we modify Kupershmidt's deformation of the Euler top equation to obtain the standard EPS construction on SO(3). We extend Kupershmidt's infinite-dimensional construction to construct a nonholonomic deformation of a wide class of coupled KdV equations, where all these equations follow from the Euler–Poincaré–Suslov flows of the right invariant L2 metric on the semidirect product group [Formula: see text], where Diff (S1) is the group of orientation preserving diffeomorphisms on a circle. We generalize our construction to the two-component Camassa–Holm equation. We also give a derivation of a nonholonomic deformation of the N = 1 supersymmetric KdV equation, dubbed as sKdV6 equation and this method can be interpreted as an infinite-dimensional supersymmetric analogue of the Euler–Poincaré–Suslov (EPS) method.
