Variability Orderings Related to Coverage Problems on the Circle.
Abstract
Suppose that n arcs with random lengths having distributions F1, F2, ...Fn are placed uniformly and independently on a circle. This article presents inequalities which tell how certain distributions and probabilities change as the variability of the distributions F1, F2, ...Fn is increased. A distribution F is considered to be more variable than G if integral h(x)dF(x) > or = integral h(x)dG(x) for all convex functions h. (Author)
