Some Notes on Applying the Herfindahl-hirschman Index
The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index is one of the most commonly used indicators to detect anticompetitive behavior in industries. In fact, an increase in the value of the index is usually interpreted as an indicator of actions which may lessen competition or even create a monopoly. In this paper we show that this is not always the case. If all firms cooperate, then the index cannot be used since it ...
متن کاملSome notes on applying computational divided differencing in optimization
We consider the problem of accurate computation of the finite difference f(x+ s)− f(x) when ‖s‖ is very small. Direct evaluation of this difference in floating point arithmetic succumbs to cancellation error and yields 0 when s is sufficiently small. Nonetheless, accurate computation of this finite difference is required by many optimization algorithms for a “sufficient decrease” test. Reps and...
متن کاملNOTES ON SOME SPECIES OF THE GENUS EUPHORBIA IN IRAN
During the study on newly collected and herbarium specimens belonging to the genus Euphorbia, three species, namely, E. gorenfloti, E. cheirolepioides and E. splendida were found to be synonymous with E. chamaepeplus, E. grossheimii and E. decipiens, respectively. Euphorbia sahendi as an interesting and rare species has been recognized after long time again among my material and Euphorbia delto...
متن کاملSome remarks on the arithmetic-geometric index
Using an identity for effective resistances, we find a relationship between the arithmetic-geometric index and the global ciclicity index. Also, with the help of majorization, we find tight upper and lower bounds for the arithmetic-geometric index.
متن کاملSome notes on distributions
Formally, distributions are usually defined as continuous linear functions on a certain topological vector space of “test functions”. However, it is not surprising that useful mathematical objects such as distributions also have a natural, concrete description. We shall start from this viewpoint, and later explain the abstraction to topological vector spaces, and explain why the latter is impor...
