In this paper we investigate the generalized HyersUlam stability of the functional equation f(2x + y) + f(2x − y) = f(x + y) + f(x − y) + 2f(2x)− 2f(x) in fuzzy Banach spaces.

A relation between coprlme fractions and the gap metric is presented. USlng this result we provlde some sufficient condi Hons for BIBO robust stabll1za tion for a very wlde class of systems. These conditions allow the plant and compensator to be disturbed simutaneously. K.e.Y words: Robust stabllization; Gap metric; Coprime fraction.

We distinguish between two types of grasp stability, which we call spatial grasp stability and contact grasp stability. We show via examples that spatial stability cannot capture certain intuitive concepts of grasp stability and hence that any full understanding of grasp stability must include contact stability. We derive a model of how the positions of the points of contact evolve in time on t...

Stability represents a fundamental concept in developmental theory and research. In this article we give an overview of recent work on personality traits and their stability in adulthood. First, we define personality traits and stability. Second, we present empirical evidence supporting change and stability of personality traits across the adult years with respect to conceptually and statistica...

INTRODUCTION This study captures the perspectives of stakeholders at multiple levels of the vaccine supply chain regarding their assessment of challenges with storing vaccines within recommended temperature ranges and their perceptions on the benefits of having vaccines with improved stability, including the potential short-term storage and transport of vaccines in a controlled-temperature chai...

One of the most illustrating example in history of the EUROPEAN Monetary Union are the growing interactions between sovereign countries -each retaining a large degree of fiscal autonomyand the single monetary authority, which managing European monetary policy, since the establishment of the monetary union in 1999. Additionally some regulations as the Stability and Growth Pact (SGP; 1997) introd...

This cross-national study examines how the relationship between national eHealth initiatives and health outcomes are contingent on (1) macroeconomic stability; (2) GDP per capita; and (3) institutions. Resource Based View’s (RBV) resource complementary perspective and literature on Information Technology and health outcomes are used as the guiding theoretical framework. Publicly available archi...

This paper studies coalition formation among self-interested agents that cannot make sidepayments. We show that -core stability reduces to analyzing whether some utility pro le is maximal for all agents. We also show that strategy pro les that lead to the -core are a subset of Strong Nash equilibria. This fact carries our -core-based stability results directly over to two other strategic soluti...

A Thomas-Fermi-Weizsäcker type theory is constructed, by means of which we are able to give a relatively simple proof of the stability of relativistic matter. Our procedure has the advantage over previous ones in that the critical value of the fine structure constant, α, is raised to 0.77 (recall that the critical value is known to be less than 2.72). When α = 1/137, the largest nuclear charge ...

Financial Globalization and Monetary Policy* The process of financial globalization has significantly altered the environment in which national monetary policy authorities operate. What implications does this have for the design of monetary policy? The question can be properly addressed only in the context of a model where monetary policy interacts with financial market efficiency. This paper i...
