We study a dynamic coordination process in which agents are uncertain about the actions of their fellow agents, and anticipate strategically relevant information. Because of the uncertainty and learning, (ir)reversibility of actions has important strategic consequences. We find that the reversibility option can either enhance or hamper efficient coordination, and we characterize the direction o...

In this paper, we investigate condition numbers of eigenvalue problems of matrix polynomials with nonsingular leading coefficients, generalizing classical results of matrix perturbation theory. We provide a relation between the condition numbers of eigenvalues and the pseudospectral growth rate. We obtain that if a simple eigenvalue of a matrix polynomial is ill-conditioned in some respects, th...

We extend Post’s programme to finite levels of the Ershov hierarchy of ∆2 sets, and characterise, in the spirit of Post [9], the degrees of the immune and hyperimmune d.c.e. sets. We also show that no properly d.c.e. set can be hh-immune, and indicate how to generalise these results to n-c.e. sets, n > 2.

For optical studies of boiling heat transfer process, it is essential that the refractive index and its dependence on temperature for the test liquid be known. In this work a simple set-up was built to measure the refractive index of Fluorinert Liquid PF-5060 with temperature compensation and temperature control. The pinhole laser light beam was used for determining the refraction angle. The re...

Weprovide a simple set of sufficient conditions for theweak convergence of discrete-time, discrete-state Galton–Watson branching processes with immigration to continuous-time, continuous-state branching processes with immigration.

We show that in the c.e. weak truth table degrees if b < c then there is an a which contains no hypersimple set and b < a < c. We also show that for every w < c in the c.e. wtt degrees such that w is hypersimple, there is a hypersimple a such that w < a < c. On the other hand we know that there are intervals which contain no hypersimple set.

almost half of agricultural lands in iran are saline and it is one of the most important constraints in cultivated lands. wheat is the most important crop in saline lands in rotation of golestan province. since saline soils amelioration is so expensive, achievement of genotypes with tolerant and high yield potential is essential. 22 genotypes of selective wheat of recent experiments with three ...

In this paper, we apply the theory of condition developed by Rice to define condition numbers of the spectral projection. Explicit expressions of the condition numbers are derived, and some relations between the condition numbers of the spectral projection and the condition number of the associated invariant subspace are presented. The results are illustrated by a simple numerical example. © 20...

Meet semidistributive varieties are in a sense the last of most important classes universal algebra for which it is unknown whether can be characterized by strong Maltsev condition. We present new, relatively simple condition characterizing meet-semidistributive varieties, and provide candidate

Let R be a ring, M a right R-module and (S,≤) a strictly ordered monoid. In this paper we will show that if (S,≤) is a strictly ordered monoid satisfying the condition that 0 ≤ s for all s ∈ S, then the module [[MS,≤]] of generalized power series is a uniserial right [[RS,≤]] ]]-module if and only if M is a simple right R-module and S is a chain monoid.
