When deciding, we aim to choose the "best" possible outcome. This is not just selection of the option that is the most numerous or physically largest, as options are translated from objective value (count) to subjective value (worth or utility). We localized the neural instantiation of the value-to-utility transformation to the dorsal anterior midcingulate cortex (daMCC), with independent repli...

This paper examines the impact of a major change in dividend taxation introduced in the United Kingdom in July 1997. The reform was structured in such a way that the immediate impact fell almost entirely on the largest investor class in the United Kingdom, namely pension funds. We find significant changes in the valuation of dividend income after the reform, in particular for high-yielding comp...

The simultaneous multiple-round auction (SMRA) and the combinatorial clock auction (CCA) are the two primarymechanisms used to sell bandwidth. Under truthful bidding, the SMRA is known to output a Walrasian equilibrium that maximizes social welfare provided the bidder valuation functions satisfy the gross substitutes property [20]. Recently, it was shown that the combinatorial clock auction (CC...

Probabilistic timed automata can be used to model systems in which probabilistic and timing behaviour coexist. Verification of probabilistic timed automata models is generally performed with regard to a single reference valuation π0 of the timing parameters. Given such a parameter valuation, we present a method for obtaining automatically a constraint K0 on timing parameters for which the reach...

In particular, (6) implies that the functions/i, • • • , /„ are all regular in the domain (7) a > 0, i wi\ < r, • • • ,| to„| < r. In these notations, the following theorem will be proved: Theorem. In the domain (7), let fx, • ■ • ,fnbe regular functions of the form (1) with uniformly almost periodic coefficient functions defined on (2) having Fourier expansions of the type (3), satisfying (4)....

We show that a completely multiplicative automatic function, which dos not have 0 as value, is almost periodic.

This paper studies some sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of a pseudo almost periodic mild solution to abstract hyperbolic differential equations with infinite delay. Applications include the existence and uniqueness of a pseudo almost periodic mild solution to the heat equation.

In this paper, the notion of almost convergence is used to obtain a space as domain regular matrix. After defining new type core for complex-valued sequences, certain inclusion theorems are proved.
