Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 16<i>q</I>-bernstein Polynomials of the Cauchy Kernel(Elsevier Science inc, 2008-04) Ostrovska, SofiyaDue to the fact that in the case q > 1, q-Bernstein polynomials are not positive linear operators on C[0, 1], the study of their approximation properties is essentially more difficult than that for 0 < q < 1. Despite the intensive research conducted in the area lately, the problem of describing the class of functions in C[0, 1] uniformly approximated by their q-Bernstein polynomials (q > 1) is still open. In this paper, the q-Bernstein polynomials B-n,B-q(f(a); z) of the Cauchy kernel f(a) = 1/(z - a), a is an element of C \ [0, 1] are found explicitly and their properties are investigated. In particular, it is proved that if q > 1, then polynomials B-n,B-q(f(a); z) converge to f(a) uniformly on any compact set K subset of {z : vertical bar z vertical bar < vertical bar a vertical bar}. This result is sharp in the following sense: on any set with an accumulation point in {z : vertical bar z vertical bar > vertical bar a vertical bar}, the sequence {B-n,B-q(f(a); z) is not even uniformly bounded.

The physical environment of the workspace plays a significant role in effective communication, collaboration, and coordination among people while developing software. Objective: In this paper, we have studied and further evaluated empirically the effect of different constituents of physical environment on communication, coordination, and collaboration, respectively. The study aims to provide a guideline for prospective agile software developers. Method: A survey was conducted among software developers at a software development organization. To collect data, a survey was carried out along with observations, and interviews. Results: It has been found that half cubicles are 'very effective' for the frequency of communication. Further, half cubicles were discovered 'effective' but not 'very effective' for the quality/effectiveness of communication. It is found that half-height cubicles and status boards are 'very effective' for the coordination among team members according to the survey. Communal/discussion space is found to be 'effective' but not 'very effective' for coordination among team members. Our analysis also reveals that half-height glass barriers are 'very effective' during the individuals problem-solving activities while working together as a team. Infact, such a physically open environment appears to improve communication, coordination, and collaboration. Conclusion: According to this study, an open working environment with only half-height glass barriers and communal space plays a major role in communication among team members. The presence of status boards significantly help in reducing unnecessary communication by providing the required information to individuals and therefore, in turn reduce distractions a team member may confront in their absence. As communication plays a significant role in improving coordination and collaboration, it is not surprising to find the effect of open working environment and status boards in improving coordination and collaboration. An open working environment increases the awareness among software developers e.g. who is doing what, what is on the agenda, what is taking place, etc. That in turn, improves coordination among them. A communal/discussion space helps in collaboration immensely. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

Bu çalışmanın temel odak noktası 20 yıl önce ortaya çıkan ve kısa sürede birçok araştırmacının dikkatini çeken q-Bernstein polinomlarıdır. Bu tez Bernstein polinomlarına dair bilinen bazı sonuçların derlemesinden, q-Bernstein polinomları teorisine kısa bir giriş ve bazı yeni gelişmelerden oluşmaktadır. Yeni gelişmeler kısmında; limit q-Bernstein operatör dizisinin kuvvetli operatör limiti ve q-Bernstein operatörlerinin zayıf Picard operatörler oldukları ifade edilmiştir.Article Fedja’s Proof of Deepti’s Inequality(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2018-05-08) Ostrovska, Sofiya; Turan, MehmetThe paper aims to present, in a systematic way, an elegant proof of Deepti’s inequality. Both the inequalityand various ideas concerning the issue were discussed on the Mathoverflow website by a number of users, but none haveappeared in the literature thus far. In this work, suggestions pertaining to users ‘Deepti’ and ‘fedja’ are traced, whencethe title. The results or the paper are new, and the proof is divided into a series of statements, many of which are ofinterest in themselves.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 13Exploring and Expanding Students' Success in Software Testing(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2017-11-06) Mishra, Deepti; Ostrovska, Sofiya; Hacaloglu, TunaPurpose - Testing is one of the indispensable activities in software development and is being adopted as an independent course by software engineering (SE) departments at universities worldwide. The purpose of this paper is to carry out an investigation of the performance of learners about testing, given the tendencies in the industry and motivation caused by the unavailability of similar studies in software testing field. Design/methodology/approach - This study is based on the data collected over three years (between 2012 and 2014) from students taking the software testing course. The course is included in the second year of undergraduate curriculum for the bachelor of engineering (SE). Findings - It has been observed that, from the performance perspective, automated testing outperforms structural and functional testing techniques, and that a strong correlation exists among these three approaches. Moreover, a strong programming background does help toward further success in structural and automated testing, but has no effect on functional testing. The results of different teaching styles within the course are also presented together with an analysis exploring the relationship between students' gender and success in the software testing course, revealing that there is no difference in terms of performance between male and female students in the course. Moreover, it is advisable to introduce teaching concepts one at a time because students find it difficult to grasp the ideas otherwise. Research limitations/implications - These findings are based on the analysis conducted using three years of data collected while teaching a course in testing. Obviously, there are some limitations to this study. For example, student's strength in programming is calculated using the score of C programming courses taken in previous year/semester. Such scores may not reflect their current level of programming knowledge. Furthermore, attempt was made to ensure that the exercises given for different testing techniques have similar difficulty level to guarantee that the difference in success between these testing techniques is due to the inherent complexity of the technique itself and not because of different exercises. Still, there is small probability that a certain degree of change in success may be due to the difference in the difficulty levels of the exercises. As such, it is obviously premature to consider the present results as final since there is a lack of similar type of studies, with which the authors can compare the results. Therefore, more work needs to be done in different settings to draw sound conclusions in this respect. Originality/value - Although there are few studies (see e.g. Chan et al., 2005; Garousi and Zhi, 2013; Ng et al., 2004) exploring the preference of testers over distinct software testing techniques in the industry, there appears to be no paper comparing the preferences and performances of learners in terms of different testing techniques.Editorial Citation - Scopus: 1Approximation Theory and Numerical Analysis(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014) Ostrovska,S.; Berdysheva,E.; Nowak,G.; Özban,A.Y.[No abstract available]Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 15Generalized Transportation Cost Spaces(Springer Basel Ag, 2019-10-30) Ostrovska, Sofiya; Ostrovskii, Mikhail I.The paper is devoted to the geometry of transportation cost spaces and their generalizations introduced by Melleray et al. (Fundam Math 199(2):177-194, 2008). Transportation cost spaces are also known as Arens-Eells, Lipschitz-free, or Wasserstein 1 spaces. In this work, the existence of metric spaces with the following properties is proved: (1) uniformly discrete metric spaces such that transportation cost spaces on them do not contain isometric copies of l(1), this result answers a question raised by Cuth and Johanis (Proc Am Math Soc 145(8):3409-3421, 2017); (2) locally finite metric spaces which admit isometric embeddings only into Banach spaces containing isometric copies of l(1); (3) metric spaces for which the double-point norm is not a norm. In addition, it is proved that the double-point norm spaces corresponding to trees are close to l(infinity)(d) of the corresponding dimension, and that for all finite metric spaces M, except a very special class, the infimum of all seminorms for which the embedding of M into the corresponding seminormed space is isometric, is not a seminorm.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2On the <i>q</I>-bernstein Polynomials of the Logarithmic Function in the Case <i>q</I> > 1(Walter de Gruyter Gmbh, 2016-02-01) Ostrovska, SofiyaThe q-Bernstein basis used to construct the q-Bernstein polynomials is an extension of the Bernstein basis related to the q-binomial probability distribution. This distribution plays a profound role in the q-boson operator calculus. In the case q > 1, q-Bernstein basic polynomials on [0, 1] combine the fast increase in magnitude with sign oscillations. This seriously complicates the study of q-Bernstein polynomials in the case of q > 1. The aim of this paper is to present new results related to the q-Bernstein polynomials B-n,B- q of discontinuous functions in the case q > 1. The behavior of polynomials B-n,B- q(f; x) for functions f possessing a logarithmic singularity at 0 has been examined.

Verkin Institute for Low Temperature Physics and Engineering, 2019-03-25) Il’inskii,A.; Ostrovska,S.The paper presents an elaboration of some results on Lin’s conditions. A new proof is given to the fact that if densities of independent random variables ξ 1 and ξ 2 satisfy Lin’s condition, then the same is true for their product. Also, it is shown that without the condition of independence, the statement is no longer valid. © Alexander Il’inskii and Sofiya Ostrovska, 2019.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3Uncorrelatedness and Correlatedness of Powers of Random Variables(Birkhauser verlag Ag, 2002-08-01) Ostrovska, SLet xi(1),...,xi(n) be random variables and U be a subset of the Cartesian prodnet Z(+)(n), Z(+) being the set of all non-negative integers. The random variables are said to be strictly U-uncorrelated if E(xi(1)(j1) ... xi(n)(jn)) = E(xi(1)(j1)) ... E(xi(n)(jn)) double left right arrow (j(1), ..., j(n)) is an element of U. It is proved that for an arbitrary subset U subset of or equal to Z(+)(n) containing all points with 0 or I non-zero coordinates there exists a collection of n strictly U-uncorrelated random variables.
