An Alternative Index for Mutagenic Efficiency

An Evolutionary Efficiency Alternative to the Notion of Pareto Efficiency

The paper argues that the notion of Pareto efficiency builds on two normative assumptions: the more general consequentialist norm of any efficiency criterion, and the strong no-harm principle of the prohibition of any redistribution during the economic process that hurts at least one person. These normative concerns lead to a constrained and static notion of efficiency in mainstream economics, ...

An Alternative Sense of Asymptotic Efficiency

The paper studies the asymptotic efficiency and robustness of hypothesis tests when models of interest are defined in terms of a weak convergence property. The null and local alternatives induce different limiting distributions for a random element, and a test is considered robust if it controls asymptotic size for all data generating processes for which the random element has the null limiting...

An alternative stochastic proof for the Atiyah-Singer index theorem

According to Watanabe [6], by generalized Wiener functional we could give a simple stochastic proof of the index theorem for twisted Dirac operator (the Atiyah-Singer index theorem) on Clifford module. MR Subject Classification: 58J20 Chinese Library Classification: O186.12

Zero-index structures as an alternative platform for quantum optics.

Vacuum fluctuations are one of the most distinctive aspects of quantum optics, being the trigger of multiple nonclassical phenomena. Thus, platforms like resonant cavities and photonic crystals that enable the inhibition and manipulation of vacuum fluctuations have been key to our ability to control light-matter interactions (e.g., the decay of quantum emitters). Here, we theoretically demonstr...
