Finite-stage reward functions having the Markov adequacy property

Production Functions Having the Ces Property

To what measure does the CES (constant elasticity of substitution) property determine production functions? We show that it is not possible to find explicitly all two variable production functions f(x, y) having the CES property. This slightly generalizes the result of R. Sato [16]. We show that if a production function is a quasi-sum then the CES property determines only the functional forms o...

Extensions of ordered sets having the finite cutset property

Let P be an ordered set. P is said to have the finite cutset property if for every x in P there is a finite set F of elements which are noncomparable to x such that every maximal chain in P meets {x} t.J F. It is well known that this property is equivalent to the space of maximal chains of P being compact. We consider the following question: Which ordered sets P can be embedded in an ordered se...

Asymptotic Behavior of Multivariate Reward Processes with Nonlinear Reward Functions

COVARIANCE MATRIX OF MULTIVARIATE REWARD PROCESSES WITH NONLINEAR REWARD FUNCTIONS

Multivariate reward processes with reward functions of constant rates, defined on a semi-Markov process, first were studied by Masuda and Sumita, 1991. Reward processes with nonlinear reward functions were introduced in Soltani, 1996. In this work we study a multivariate process , , where are reward processes with nonlinear reward functions respectively. The Laplace transform of the covar...

Maps Having the Bula Property

Every open continuous map f from a space X onto a paracompact C-space Y admits two disjoint closed sets F0, F1 ⊂ X , with f(F0) = Y = f(F1), provided all fibers of f are infinite and C∗-embedded in X . Applications are demonstrated for the existence of “disjoint” usco multiselections of set-valued l.s.c. mappings defined on paracompact C-spaces, and for special type of factorizations of open co...
