Background The burden of major depressive disorder includes suffering due to symptom severity, functional impairment, and quality of life deficits. The aim of this study was to compare the differences between electroconvulsive therapy and pharmacotherapy in reducing such burdens. Methods This was a pooled analysis study including 2 open-label trials for major depressive disorder inpatients re...

It has been shown that there is a Hamilton cycle in every connected Cayley graph on any group G whose commutator subgroup is cyclic of prime-power order. This note considers connected, vertex-transitive graphs X of order at least 3, such that the automorphism group of X contains a vertex-transitive subgroup G whose commutator subgroup is cyclic of prime-power order. We show that of these graphs...

Classic, and Explicit Turnpikes Paolo Guasoni · Constantinos Kardaras · Scott Robertson · Hao Xing Received: date / Accepted: date Abstract Portfolio turnpikes state that, as the investment horizon increases, optimal portfolios for generic utilities converge to those of isoelastic utilities. This paper proves three kinds of turnpikes. In a general semimartingale setting, the abstract turnpike s...

A Hamilton circle in an infinite graph is a homeomorphic copy of the unit circle S1 that contains all vertices and all ends precisely once. We prove that every connected, locally connected, locally finite, claw-free graph has such a Hamilton circle, extending a result of Oberly and Sumner to infinite graphs. Furthermore, we show that such graphs are Hamilton-connected if and only if they are 3-...
