Rational Irrationality
We present a game-theoretic account of irrational agent behavior and define conditions under which irrational behavior may be considered quasi-rational. To do so, we use a 2-player, zero-sum strategic game, parameterize the reward structure and study how the value of the game changes with this parameter. We argue that for any “underdog” agent, there is a point at which the asymmetry of the game...
متن کاملIrrationality exponent and rational approximations with prescribed growth
In 1978, Apéry [2] proved the irrationality of ζ(3) by constructing two explicit sequences of integers (un)n and (vn)n such that 0 6= unζ(3)− vn → 0 and un → +∞, both at geometric rates. He also deduced from this an upper bound for the irrationality exponent μ(ζ(3)) of ζ(3). In general, the irrationality exponent μ(ξ) of an irrational number ξ is defined as the infimum of all real numbers μ suc...
متن کاملIrrationality via the Hypergeometric method
In this paper, we describe how the hypergeometric method of Thue and Siegel may be applied to questions of irrationality. As a consequence of our approach, we provide a somewhat simple proof of a classical theorem of Ljunggren to the effect that the Diophantine equation x^ — 2y' = — 1 has only the solutions {x,y) = (1,1) and {x,y) = (239,13) in positive integers.

متن کاملRational Irrationality: Modeling Climate Change Belief Polarization Using Bayesian Networks
UNLABELLED Belief polarization is said to occur when two people respond to the same evidence by updating their beliefs in opposite directions. This response is considered to be "irrational" because it involves contrary updating, a form of belief updating that appears to violate normatively optimal responding, as for example dictated by Bayes' theorem. In light of much evidence that people are c...
متن کاملRational Irrationality and the Microfoundations of Political Failure
Models of inefficient political failure have been criticized for implicitly assuming the irrationality of voters. (Wittman 1999, 1995, 1989; Coate and Morris 1995) Building on Caplan's (1999a, 1999b) model of "rational irrationality," the current paper maintains that the assumption of voter irrationality is both theoretically and empirically plausible. It then examines microfoundational critici...
