, there is a dense set of laws for which the MVE is not unique and “no affine equivariant choice can be made.” The following fact, then, is to some degree known, but it gives strong forms of denseness. Parts (a) and (c) of the following give contamination neighbor- C (P ), which are included in total variation neighbo...

is a P ∈ Nλ for α = 1/2. Proof. (a) Let P have a continuous density f . If I1/2(P ) contains more than one interval we are done, so suppose I1/2(P ) contains just one interval [a, b], � x+1 f (u)du < 1/2 for x (cid:11)= 0. Take any δ which we can assume is [0, 1]. Thus x with 0 < δ < 1. Another continuous density ...

It follows that ε (T, X) ≤ 1 min(j − 1, n − j). ∗ If Z = j−1 X then the smallest possible value of Z(j) occurs when yi < Xk for all i and k and for at least one r such that Xr = X(1), Xr is not replaced, so Z(j) ≥ X(1).

Theorem 1, no other order statistic has any larger at least breakdown point than the median, so ε (X(j)) < 1/2 for all j. This is typical behavior for interesting estimators. But, larger breakdown points are possible. If T has bounded values, then it trivially has breakdown point 1 by our definition. Or, let T = min...

roots How many real roots does a polynomial have? There are many options, ranging from all roots being real (e.g., (x − 1)(x − 2) . . . (x − n)), to all roots being complex (e.g., x2d + 1). We will give a couple of different characterizations of the location of the roots of a polynomial, both of them in terms of some...

do this by computing instead the eigenvalues of the associated (nonsymmetric) companion matrix. In fact, that is exactly the way that MATLAB computes roots of polynomials; see the source file roots.m. For any A ∈ Cn×n, we always have TrA = � n i=1 k = Tr p ]. As a consequence of linearity, we have that if q(x) = ...

This will enable a very appealing generalization of companion matrices to multivariate polynomials, in the case where the underlying system has only a finite number of solutions (i.e., a “zero dimensional ideal”). 3.2 Inertia and signature Definition 5.
