a mapping $f:v^n longrightarrow w$, where $v$ is a commutative semigroup, $w$ is a linear space and $n$ is a positive integer, is called multi-additive if it is additive in each variable. in this paper we prove the hyers-ulam stability of multi-additive mappings in 2-banach spaces. the corollaries from our main results correct some outcomes from [w.-g. park, approximate additive mappings i...

This paper analyzes the emergence of scalar additive meanings. We show that in Basque the same particle ere can obtain both the "simple additive" reading (akin to English too) and the "scalar additive" reading (akin to English even) but we argue that we do not have to distinguish two types of ere. We provide evidence, by means of a production and a perception experiment, that the reading is dis...

Risk Taking with Additive and Multiplicative Background risks. We examine the effects of background risks on optimal portfolio choice. Examples of background risks include uncertain labor income, uncertainty about the terminal value of fixed assets such as housing and uncertainty about future tax liabilities. While some of these risks are additive and have been amply studied, others are multipl...

Dominance and epistatic effects are predicted to be larger in life-history than in morphological traits. We test these predictions using published results from line cross analyses. We find that dominance is found in more than 95% of traits, regardless of the type of trait, but that the magnitude of the effect in relation to the additive effect is much greater in life-history than in morphologic...
