We address the question of whether unbarred market entry can eliminate monopolizing behavior in the presence of acquisitions. We model this question by using a four-stage repeated noncooperative game. Analysis of subgame perfect pure strategy Nash equilibria of this game under simplifying assumptions …nds that even with entry and the absence of collusion, competitive acquisition of …rms by thei...

For some of the EOS models the dimension of equilibrium problem can be reduced. Stability and difficulties in implementation are among the problems of flash calculation. In this work, a new reduction technique is presented to prepare a reduced number of equilibrium equations. Afterwards, a number of appropriate solution variables are selected for the prepared equation system to solve the equati...

We analyze mathematically and numerically a model derived in Part I of this paper. The model deals with carrier influenced transport and besides advective and dispersive transport and equilibrium and nonequilibrium sorption takes into account both carrier facilitation and co-sorption. Guidelines are derived, whether the overall mobility is enhanced or reduced and various other properties of the...

This paper attempts to simulate endogenous cyclical behaviour through variations on the standard real business models. This paper relaxes the perfect foresight assumption implied by the rational agent hypothesis. It is replaced by imperfect adaptive expectations. The model is extended with a delay between investment and capital accumulation. This paper also simulates a non-equilibrium timediffe...

Equilibrium sampling of biomolecules remains an unmet challenge after more than 30 years of atomistic simulation. Efforts to enhance sampling capability, which are reviewed here, range from the development of new algorithms to parallelization to novel uses of hardware. Special focus is placed on classifying algorithms — most of which are underpinned by a few key ideas — in order to understand t...

This paper examines how an asset price is determined in a market, and how it changes as circumstances in the market change, making use of a standard asset price model. The motivation of the paper is to examine if the model can explain a bubble economy in which individuals are risk averse. It is known that if the relative risk aversion of an investor’s utility function does not exceed 1 and is n...

Equilibrium adsorption of gas phase mixtures of Dand Lalanine (Ala) onto the naturally chiral Cu{3,1,17} surfaces has been studied by both experiment and DFT-based modeling. Isotopically labeled *L-Ala (HO2 CCH(NH2)CH3) and unlabeled D-Ala allow mass spectrometric enantiodifferentiation of the adsorbed species during temperature-programmed decomposition, following equilibrium adsorption. Measur...

Aktrrct-Aqueous-phase oxidation of SO, occurs via a sequence of steps consisting of gas-phase diffusion, mass transfer at the gas-water interface, hydrolysis and ionization of the dissolved sulfur-IV, aqueous-phase diffusion, and oxidation reaction. Expressions are given for the characteristic times of these several processes for reaction in aqueous droplets. Readily applicable crite.ria are de...

A ®rst step towards the development of a general, realistic potential model for per ̄uoroether compounds has been to parameterize a united atom model for a short chain per ̄uoroether per ̄uoromethylpropyl ether (CF3CF2CF2OCF3). The potential model takes the usual form in which separate bond bending and torsional terms describe the intramolecular interactions with the addition of van der Waals and ...
