Considerable experimental evidence suggests that non-pecuniary motives must be addressed when modeling behavior in economic contexts. Recent models of non-pecuniary motives can be classified as either altruism-based, equity-based, or reciprocity-based. We estimate and compare leading approaches in these categories, using experimental data. We then offer a flexible approach that nests the above ...

For subspaces, X and Y , of the space, D, of all derivatives M(X, Y ) denotes the set of all g ∈ D such that fg ∈ Y for all f ∈ X. Subspaces of D are defined depending on a parameter p ∈ [0,∞]. In Section 6, M(X, D) is determined for each of these subspaces and in Section 7, M(X, Y ) is found for X and Y any of these subspaces. In Section 3, M(X, D) is determined for other spaces of functions o...

Today, half of the world’s population lives in urban areas. By 2050, 70 percent of the population will be urban. India has been witnessing massive urbanization. Over the six decades since independence, India’s population grew three-fold from 350 million in 1947 to 1027 million in the year in 2001. During the same period, the urban population grew almost 4.6 fold as fast – from 62.4 million to 2...

Changing the internal structure of a program without changing its behavior is called restructuring. This paper presents a transformation called tuck for restructuring programs by decomposing large functions into small functions. Tuck consists of three steps: Wedge, Split, and Fold. A wedge—a subset of statements in a slice—contains computations that are related and that may create a meaningful ...

The impact-parameter representation of the spin-flip amplitude of hadron elastic scattering is examined in different unitarisation schemes, taking the Born term of the spin-flip amplitude from the Dubna Dynamical Model (DDM). It is shown that the basic properties of the unitarisation schemes are independent of the functional form used for unitarisation but heavily depend on the asymptotic value...

Abstract In 2017, Lienert and Tumulka proved Born’s rule on arbitrary Cauchy surfaces in Minkowski space-time assuming a corresponding collapse horizontal relative to fixed Lorentz frame, as well given unitary time evolution between any two surfaces, satisfying that there is no interaction faster than light propagation light. Here, we prove from different, but equally reasonable, set of assumpt...

The existence results for an abstract Cauchy problem involving a higher order differential inclusion with infinite delay in a Banach space are obtained. We use the concept of the existence family to express the mild solutions and impose the suitable conditions on the nonlinearity via the measure of noncompactness in order to apply the theory of condensing multimaps for the demonstration of our ...
