We introduce the idea of representation stability (and several variations) for a sequence of representations Vn of groups Gn. A central application of the new viewpoint we introduce here is the importation of representation theory into the study of homological stability. This makes it possible to extend classical theorems of homological stability to a much broader variety of examples. Represent...

On the Stability of Research Joint Ventures: Implications for Collusion * by Jo Seldeslachts, Tomaso Duso and Enrico Pennings Though there is a body of theoretical literature on research joint venture (RJV) participation facilitating collusion, empirical tests are rare. Even more so, there are few empirical tests on the general theme of collusion. This note tries to fill this gap by assuming a ...

Binary survey data from the Austrian National Guest Survey conducted in the summer season of 1997 were used to identify behavioral market segments on the basis of vacation activity information. Bagged clustering overcomes a number of difficulties typically encountered when partitioning large binary data sets: The partitions have greater structural stability over repetitions of the algorithm and...

We present an assessment of the finitetemperature dynamical stability of discrete dislocations in graphene. In order to ascertain stability, we insert discrete dislocation quadrupole configurations into molecular dynamics calculations as initial conditions. In calculations we use Sandia National Laboratories Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator (LAMMPS) and the Adaptive Int...

Traditionally, financial systems have been bank-based or market-based. The efficiency properties of these systems are compared in various dimensions. These include risk sharing, information provision, funding new industries, corporate governance, and law, finance and politics. Both systems have advantages and disadvantages. With regard to stability, both bank-based and market-based systems are ...

*Correspondence: [email protected] Department of Mathematics, National Taiwan Normal University, 88 Sec. 4, Ting Chou Road, Taipei, 11677, Taiwan Abstract Stability of general equilibrium is usually depicted by a dynamic process of price adjustment which makes the flow of prices eventually come to rest at certain prices, so that the supply and demand of every commodity tend to equal each ...

The aim of this paper is to present a new method used to calculate the long term stability and drift of a group of standard inductors of the Laboratory of Capacitance and Inductance (Lacin), of the National Institute of Metrology, Normalization and Industrial Quality (Inmetro). Using the concepts of time series and standard error of estimate, we developed an automated system with the objective ...

M often employ market response models as decision aids and historical information of competitors’ market outcomes to aid their competitive decisions in oligopolistic settings. However, little is known about how access to a decision aid or the availability of competitors’ market outcomes impact a firm’s competitive decisions (e.g., prices) or market outcomes resulting from those decisions (e.g.,...

In this paper we introduce a stability radius for a wide class of linear innnite-dimensional time-varying systems under structured time{varying perturbations. A framework is presented which allows the same degree of unboundedness in the perturbations as in the generator of the nominal model.
