We study decompositions of NVALUE, a global constraint that can be used to model a wide range of problems where values need to be counted. Whilst decomposition typically hinders propagation, we identify one decomposition that maintains a global view as enforcing bound consistency on the decomposition achieves bound consistency on the original global NVALUE constraint. Such decompositions offer ...

Jan Tinbergen was the first Nobel prize winner in economics. He shared that honor with Ragnar Frisch. The focus of their research earned prize, “pioneering work field econometric, at intersection statistics, mathematics, and economic theory” (p. 125). Erwin Dekker, a cultural economist provides this very comprehensive book about Tinbergen. Dekker is on faculty Erasmus University, Rotterdam, Net...

The model assumes that each step generates eddies with smaller length scales ∆x, usually ∆02. After the initial effects are forgotten, the probability distribution of vn is completely determined by the distribution W of the ‘breakdown coefficients’ vn/vn−1 (Frisch, 1995). These assumptions are known to describe well some of the statistical properties of isotropic turbulence and, in particular, ...
