Nonlinear desirability theory

چکیده

Desirability can be understood as an extension of Anscombe and Aumann's Bayesian decision theory to sets expected utilities. At the core desirability lies assumption linearity scale in which rewards are measured. It is a traditional used derive utility model, clashes with general representation rational making, though. Allais has, particular, pointed this out 1953 his famous paradox. We note that plays role closure operator when we regard logical theory. This observation enables us extend nonlinear case by letting represented via operator. The new directly expresses actual currency (money), much Savage's spirit, while arguably weakening founding assumptions minimum. characterise main properties both from perspective gambles their lower upper prices (previsions). show how paradox finds solution theory, discuss probabilities

QUANTUM RATIONAL PREFERENCES AND DESIRABILITY Quantum rational preferences and desirability

We develop a theory of quantum rational decision making in the tradition of Anscombe and Aumann’s axiomatisation of preferences on horse lotteries. It is essentially the Bayesian decision theory generalised to the space of Hermitian matrices. Among other things, this leads us to give a representation theorem showing that quantum complete rational preferences are obtained by means of expected ut...

A nonlinear discretization theory

This paper extends for the first time Schaback’s linear discretization theory to nonlinear operator equations, relying heavily on the methods in Böhmer’s 2010 book. There is no restriction to elliptic problems or to symmetric numerical methods like Galerkin techniques. Trial spaces can be arbitrary, including spectral and meshless methods, but have to approximate the solution well, and testing ...

Theory of Nonlinear s-Polarized Phonon-Polaritons in Multilayered Structures

A theory is presented for the dispersion relations of the nonlinear phonon-polaritons arising when phonons are coupled to the electromagnetic waves in multilayered structures of nonlinear materials. The calculations are applied to a multilayered structure consisting of a thin film surrounded by semi-infinite bounding media where each layer may have a frequency dependent dielectric function and ...

Desirability to Characterize Process Capability

Over the past few years continuously new process capability indices have been developed, most of them with the aim to add some feature missed in former process capability indices. Thus, for nearly any thinkable situation now a special index exists which makes choosing a certain index as difficult as interpreting and comparing index values correctly. In this paper we propose the use of the expec...

An implicit theory of self-esteem: the consequences of perceived self-esteem for romantic desirability.

The provision of information appears to be an important property of self-esteem as evidenced by previous research concerning the status-tracking and status-signaling models of self-esteem. The present studies examine whether there is an implicit theory of self-esteem that leads individuals to assume targets with higher levels of self-esteem possess more desirable characteristics than those with...
