This paper investigates the behaviour of multiple decision-maker organisations or bodies, operating in a stochastic environment. Behaviour with a delegated decision maker is examined. A crucial decision is when to delegate to another decision maker. The problem may be intrapersonal, as occurs when there are endogenously changing tastes, or interpersonal where delegation is intuitionally necessa...

We have performed first-order reversal-curve measurements of the temperature-driven metal-insulator transition in VO2 thin films, which enable quantitative analysis of the hysteresis behavior. An unexpected tail-like feature in the contour plot of the reversal-curve distribution indicates the existence of metallic domains, even at temperatures below the closing of the hysteresis. These domains ...

We consider the use of linear parameter-varying methods for the control of stiffness hysteresis in vibration isolation systems. We assume that the hysteresis model is known, and we describe it using a stiffness parameter that takes values in a compact convex set. The proposed parameter-dependent controller is continuously scheduled based on real-time measurements or estimates of the stiffness, ...

In this paper, we propose a new dynamic model to describe the hysteresis phenomenon in harmonic drives. The experimental observation of the dynamic torque-displacement relationship for a harmonic drive shows a hysteresis characteristic indicating the simultaneous presence of energy storage and energy dissipation mechanisms. To completely characterize these mechanisms and yet have a simple repre...

A number of improvements have been added to the existing analytical model of hysteresis loop defined in parametric form. In particular, three phase shifts are included in the model, which permits to tilt the hysteresis loop smoothly by the required angle at the split point as well as to smoothly change the curvature of the loop. As a result, the error of approximation of a hysteresis loop by th...

acquired color deficiency in the tritan axis in parkinson’s disease has already been reported, manifesting itself as impaired performance in various visual tasks. however, its clinical significance has always been controversial. in this study we evaluated the performance of parkinson s disease patients in lanthony 15-desaturated clinical test and for the first time, compared it with the standar...

This study undertakes a systematic experimental investigation of hysteresis (path dependency) in an agent-based computational labor market framework. It is shown that capacity asymmetries between work suppliers and employers can result in two distinct hysteresis effects, network and behavioral, when work suppliers and employers interact strategically and evolve their worksite behaviors over tim...

Hysteresis is a widely occuring phenomenon. It can be found in a wide variety of natural and constructed systems. Generally, a system is said to exhibit hysteresis when a characteristic looping behaviour of the input-output graph is displayed. These loops can be due to a variety of causes. Furthermore, the input-output graphs of periodic inputs at different frequencies are generally identical. ...

Hysteresis is observed at second order phase transitions. Universal scaling for-mulae for the areas of hysteresis loops are written down. Critical exponents are defined, and related to other exponents for static and dynamic critical phenomena. These relations are verified with Langevin dynamics in both the critical and tricriti-cal mean-field models. A finite-size scaling relation is tested in ...
