Intergenerational equity: sup, inf, lim sup, and lim inf

نویسنده

  • Christopher P. Chambers
چکیده

We study the problem of intergenerational equity for utility streams and a countable set of agents. A numerical social welfare function is invariant to ordinal transformation, satis…es a weak monotonicity condition, and an invariance with respect to concatenation of utility streams if and only if it is either the sup, inf, lim sup, or lim inf.

Some Inequalities on Statistical Summability

We prove some inequalities related to the concepts of C1(st) -conservative matrices, C1(st) lim sup and C1(st) lim inf which are natural analogues of (c, st ∩ l∞) -matrices, st lim sup and st lim inf respectively.

Abstract Let (s n) be a real sequence, let (σ n) denote the sequence of averages of its first n partial sums. Let lim sup n σ n = β and lim inf n σ n = α, where β = α. We prove that lim sup n s n = β and lim inf n s ...

Solution of the 5th Homework

Let un sup(ak )∞ k n and vn sup(bk ) ∞ k n be suprema. Then the following obvious relation ak ≤ un and bk ≤ vn , ∀k ≥ n ⇒ ak + bk ≤ un + vn , ∀k ≥ n shows that, upon taking the supremum over all k with k ≥ n, we get sup(ak + bk )∞ k n ≤ un + vn . This shows that for any n ≥ m, we get lim sup k→∞ (ak + bk ) inf j: j≥m sup(ak + bk )∞ k j ≤ sup(ak + bk ) ∞ k n ≤ un + vn Since we know that (un )∞ n...

and Applied Analysis 3 The rest of the paper is organized as follows: in Section 2, we state the main results of problem (7). In Section 3, we provide some preliminary results, and the proofs of the main results together with several technical lemmas are given in Section 4. The final section of the paper contains an example to illustrate the theoretical results. 2. Main Results In this section,...
