The law of multiplicative error is presented for independent observations and correlated observations represented by the q-product, respectively. We obtain the standard log-normal distribution in the former case and the log-q-normal distribution in the latter case. Queirós’ q-log normal distribution is also reconsidered in the framework of the law of error. These results are presented with math...

We introduce the exact core and the biexact core of a strategic game form. Those are solutions which lie between the usual b-core and the set of strong equilibrium outcomes. We define the corresponding notion of exact and biexact stability. We prove that a game form is exactly stable if and only if it is exact, tight and subadditive and that it is biexactly stable if and only if in addition it ...

The existence and comparison theorem of solutions is first established for the quasimonotone delayed reaction-diffusion equations on R by appealing to the theory of abstract functional differential equations. The global asymptotic stability, Liapunov stability and uniqueness of traveling wave solutions are then proved by the elementary superand sub-solution comparison and squeezing methods. Sup...

Some people are more politically interested than others, but political scientists do not know how stable these differences are and why they occur. This paper examines stability in political interest. Eleven different panel surveys taken in four different countries over 40 years are used to measure stability. Several studies include a much larger number of interview waves—up to 23—than commonly ...

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.

We clarify the explici structure of the Hurwitz quaternion order, which is of fundamental importance in Riemann surface theory.
