A Sharp Necessary and Sufficient Condition for Inadmissibility of Estimators in a Control Problem

A Sharp Sufficient Condition for Sparsity Pattern Recovery

Sufficient number of linear and noisy measurements for exact and approximate sparsity pattern/support set recovery in the high dimensional setting is derived. Although this problem as been addressed in the recent literature, there is still considerable gaps between those results and the exact limits of the perfect support set recovery. To reduce this gap, in this paper, the sufficient con...

A Necessary and Sufficient Condition for Transcendency

As has been known for many years (see, e.g., K. Mahler, /. Reine Angew. Math., v. 166, 1932, pp. 118-150), a real or complex number f is transcendental if and only if the following condition is satisfied. To every positive number co there exists a positive integer n and an infinite sequence of distinct polynomials {p,(z)} = {pr + pr z + • • • + p z } at most of 0 1 n degree n with integral coef...

A Necessary and Sufficient Condition for Peace∗

This paper examines the possibility for two contestants to agree on a peace settlement thereby avoiding a contest, in which each would exert a costly effort given the posterior distributions inferred from the negotiation. I find a necessary and sufficient condition of the prior distributions for there to exist a negotiation mechanism that admits a peace-ensuring perfect Bayesian equilibrium. Th...

passivity in waiting for godot and endgame: a psychoanalytic reading

this study intends to investigate samuel beckett’s waiting for godot and endgame under the lacanian psychoanalysis. it begins by explaining the most important concepts of lacanian psychoanalysis. the beckettian characters are studied regarding their state of unconscious, and not the state of consciousness as is common in most beckett studies. according to lacan, language plays the sole role in ...
