Institutional Causes of California's Budget Problem

the problem of divine hiddenness

این رساله به مساله احتجاب الهی و مشکلات برهان مبتنی بر این مساله میپردازد. مساله احتجاب الهی مساله ای به قدمت ادیان است که به طور خاصی در مورد ادیان ابراهیمی اهمیت پیدا میکند. در ادیان ابراهیمی با توجه به تعالی خداوند و در عین حال خالقیت و حضور او و سخن گفتن و ارتباط شهودی او با بعضی از انسانهای ساکن زمین مساله ای پدید میاید با پرسشهایی از قبیل اینکه چرا ارتباط مستقیم ویا حداقل ارتباط وافی به ب...

The Institutional Causes of China’s Great Famine∗

This paper presents new facts about China’s Great Famine and develops a theory of famine to explain them. First, in 1959, when the famine began, food production was almost three times more than population subsistence needs. Second, we uncover a very surprising fact: regions with higher per capita food production that year suffered higher famine mortality rates, a reversal of the typically negat...

The Budget-Constrained Maximum Flow Problem

An interesting application of Cmfp is for the case when the capacities of the arcs in the network are not fixed but can be increased at certain costs per unit (see e.g. [Ful59, KNR98, SK98]). One is allowed to spend a certain budget for raising capacities and wishes to maximize the throughput. This network improvement problem can be formulated as an instance of Cmfp where the cost functions on ...

The Budget-Constrained Min Cost Flow Problem

In this paper we describe a problem that we de ne as the Budget-Constrained Minimum Cost Flow (BCMCF) problem. The BCMCF problem is a natural extension of the well-known Minimum Cost Flow (MCF) [2] problem, with a xed cost related to the use of arcs and a budget constraint. Network ow problems often become hard when extra constraints are added. Ahuja and Orlin [1] discuss the constrained maximu...
