The Nash equilibrium solution concept for games is based on the assumption of expected utility maximization. Reference dependent utility functions (in which utility is determined not only by an outcome, but also by the relationship of the outcome to a reference point) are a better predictor of behavior than expected utility. In particular, loss aversion is an important element of such utility f...

international health is still highly dominated by equilibrium approaches. the emergence of systems thinking in international health provides a great avenue to develop innovative health interventions adapted to changing contexts. the public health community, nevertheless, has the responsibility to translate concepts related to systems thinking and complexity into concrete research methods and in...

We prove that for closed rank 1 manifolds without focal points the equilibrium states are unique Hölder potentials satisfying pressure gap condition. In addition, we provide a criterion continuous potential to satisfy Moreover, derive several ergodic properties of including equidistribution and K -property.

In this paper, we investigate equilibrium points of tine nonlinear control systems and construct a scheduled control law composed of a feedforward control and a family of state feedbacks. Representing the system by a parameterized family of linear models along its equilibrium points, a scheduled control law with a feedforward control and local linear robust controllers is designed so that the o...
