ESTIMATION OF RADIATION LOSS FROM STELLARATORS USING NEOCLASSICAL TRANSPORT THEORY

The radiation power loss from a magnetically confined plasma in a stellarator has been calculated using neoclassical particle and energy fluxes in an energy balance equation. We could obtain a power loss of about 34% of the total input power by numerical calculation. This fraction of the power loss has been found to be in good agreement with the experimentally measured values of 30-40% for...

Concave Optimization for Microeconomic Theory

Preface These lecture notes grew out of several years of teaching a course on Advanced Microeconomics, first at the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad and subsequently at the University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. When we were students at graduate schools in US (during the mid 1980's), a typical first year graduate Microeconomics course, revolved around Hal Varian's classic on the su...

Behavioral Growth Theory: A Neoclassical Approach

How do material norms and aspirations on which individual judgments of well-being are based affect the growth dynamics of an economy? Do economies that weigh very highly of these norms grow differently from those economies that values these norms differently? This paper attempts to answer these questions by building a growth model, where individual not only care for its consumption but also eva...
