Fehr and Schmidt (1999) introduced an influential utility function for individuals in interpersonal contexts that captures self-centered inequity aversion. The power of this utility function lies in its good balance between parsimony and fit. This paper provides a preference foundation for exactly the model of Fehr and Schmidt (FS), so that the preference conditions satisfy exactly FS’s balance...

An a priori derivation of the lattice Boltzmann equations for binary mixtures is provided by discretizing the Boltzmann equations that govern the evolution of binary mixtures. The present model leads to a set of two-fluid hydrodynamic equations for the mixture. In existing models, employing the single-relaxation-time approximation, the viscosity and diffusion coefficients are coupled through th...

We describe a method to investigate the mode shapes in turbulent pipe flow at a given wavenumber pair that are most responsive to harmonic forcing in the sense that the they correspond to the largest singular value in a Schmidt decomposition of the linear NavierStokes operator using the turbulent mean profile as the base flow. The ideas follow logically from the work of Sharma & McKeon (2009), ...

The similarity form of the scalar-variance spectrum at high Schmidt numbers is investigated for nonstationary turbulence. Theoretical arguments show that Batchelor scaling may apply only at high Reynolds numbers. At low Reynolds numbers, Batchlor scaling is not possible unless the turbulence is stationary or the enstrophy decays asymptotically as t. When this latter condition is satisfied, it i...

We consider the Schmidt decomposition of a bipartite density operator induced by the Hilbert-Schmidt scalar product, and we study the relation between the Schmidt coefficients and entanglement. First, we define the Schmidt equivalence classes of bipartite states. Each class consists of all the density operators (in a given bipartite Hilbert space) sharing the same set of Schmidt coefficients. N...

Incomparability of pure bipartite entangled states under deterministic LOCC is a very strange phenomena. We find two possible ways of getting our desired pure entangled state which is incomparable with the given input state, by collective LOCC with certainty. The first one is by providing some pure entanglement through the lower dimensional maximally-entangled states or using further less amoun...
