Spatiotemporal dynamics are introduced in a standard Ramsey model of optimal growth which capital moves towards locations where the marginal productivity capita is relatively higher. We extend Pontryagin's maximum principle to account for transition governed by nonlinear partial differential equation emerging spatial flows. The potential heterogeneity as seen from point view an optimizing socia...

Economists were interested in economic stabilization policies as early as the 1930’s but the formal applications of stability theory from the classical control theory to economic analysis appeared in the early 1950’s when a number of control engineers actively collaborated with economists on economic stability and feedback mechanisms. The theory of optimal control resulting from the contributio...

this study presents an overview of the different strategies that persian learners of english employ to deal with initial clusters. while vowel epenthesis appears to be the most widespread repair strategy to conform such clusters to persian phonotactics, the location of the epenthetic vowel varies. in this paper, we investigate two approaches that seek to explain the epenthetic site. the first o...

of the Thesis Evaluation, Implementation, and Extension of Primitive Optimality Theory by Daniel Matthew Albro Master of Arts in Linguistics University of California, Los Angeles, 1997 Professor Edward P. Stabler, Chair Eisner's (1997a) Primitive Optimality Theory is a simple formal model of a subset of Optimality Theory (Prince and Smolensky 1993). The work presented here implements this model...

Previous work for encoding Optimality Theory grammars as finite-state transducers has included two prominent approaches: the socalled ‘counting’ method where constraint violations are counted and filtered out to some set limit of approximability in a finite-state system, and the ‘matching’ method, where constraint violations in alternative strings are matched through violation alignment in orde...
