The model has two di¤erent goods, one is the usual consumption good whose production may increase exponentially, the other is an environmental good whose quality remains limited. The stylized world we describe is fully determined by four parameters, reecting basic preferences "ecological" a...

These considerations are quite general, not specific to mathematics. The conception of intuition might be call...
متن کاملEconomic Profitability Versus Ecological Entropy
There is a long-standing trade-off in bioculture between concentrating on high-yield varieties and maintaining sufficient diversity to lower the risks of catastrophic infection. The paper uses a simple ecology-based model of endogenous disease to indicate how a local decision to plant more of a widely grown crop creates negative externalities by increasing the probability that new pathogens wil...
متن کامل"Intuition" Operator: Providing Genomes with Reason
In this contribution, the use of a new genetic operator is proposed. The main advantage of using this operator is that it is able to assist the evolution procedure to converge faster towards the optimal solution of a problem. This new genetic operator is called “intuition” operator. Generally speaking, one can claim that this operator is a way to include any heuristic or any other local knowled...
