Ellsbergs Paradox and the Value of Chances

Solving the Paradox of Multiple IRR\'s in Engineering Economic Problems by Choosing an Optimal -cut

Until now single values of IRR are traditionally used to estimate the time value of cash flows. Since uncertainty exists in estimating cost data, the resulting decision may not be reliable. The most commonly cited drawbacks to using the internal rate of return in evaluatton of deterministic cash flow streams is the possibility of multiple conflicting internal rates of return. In this paper we p...

Bertrand’s Paradox Revisited: More Lessons about that Ambiguous Word, Random

The Bertrand paradox question is: “Consider a unit-radius circle for which the length of a side of an inscribed equilateral triangle equals 3 . Determine the probability that the length of a ‘random’ chord of a unit-radius circle has length greater than 3 .” Bertrand derived three different ‘correct’ answers, the correctness depending on interpretation of the word, random. Here we employ geomet...

Paradox is used in the poetry of Hazin-e Lahiji for the purpose of defamiliarization and exoticism. The poet in order to create new implications and subtle and insightful points and also t...

ابهام در تابع ساختار دستگاه‌‌های چندفرمیونی در تکانه‌های انتقالی خیلی کوچک

First the structure function of the many fermion systems is written in terms of the fluctuation of the target density and too the value of this function at very small momentum transfer is calculated. It is shown that the values of the structure function of these systems at very small momentum transfer calculated from two different ways which one is the mathematical straight way and other way is...
