We present a passivity-preserving balanced truncation model reduction method for differential-algebraic equations arising in circuit simulation. This method is based on balancing the solutions of projected Lur’e equations. By making use of the special structure of circuit equations, we can reduce the numerical effort for balanced truncation significantly. It is shown that the property of recipr...

A key issue in complex systems regards the relationship between topology and dynamics. In this work, we use a recently introduced network property known as steering coefficient as a means to approach this issue with respect to different directed complex network systems under varying dynamics. Theoretical and real-world networks are considered, and the influences of reciprocity and average degre...

The paper introduces a new approach to preference structure, where from a weak preference relation derive the following relations:strict preference, indifference and incomparability, which by aggregations and negations are created and examined. We decomposing a preference relation into a strict preference, anindifference, and an incomparability relation.This approach allows one to quantify diff...

We define social reciprocity as the act of demonstrating one’s disapproval, at some personal cost, for the violation of widely-held norms (e.g., don’t free ride). Social reciprocity differs from standard notions of reciprocity because social reciprocators intervene whenever a norm is violated and do not condition intervention on potential future payoffs, revenge, or altruism. Instead, we posit ...

It is frequently believed that autism is characterized by a lack of social or emotional reciprocity. In this article, I question that assumption by demonstrating how many professionals-researchers and clinicians-and likewise many parents, have neglected the true meaning of reciprocity. Reciprocity is "a relation of mutual dependence or action or influence," or "a mode of exchange in which trans...

From the perspective of reciprocal altruism, we examined the role of reciprocity in the close relationships of people inflicted with a spinal cord injury (SCI) (n = 70). We focused on the help receiver rather than on the help giver. Participants perceived more reciprocity in relationships with friends than in relationships with the partner and with family members. In these last relationships, p...

Abstract We discuss the origin, an improved definition and key reciprocity property of trilinear symbol introduced by Rédei [16] in study 8-ranks narrow class groups quadratic number fields. It can be used to show that such are ‘governed’ Frobenius conditions on primes dividing discriminant, a fact recent work A. Smith [18, 19]. In addition, we explain its impact progress towards proving my con...

The authors investigated the effects of expected reciprocity on knowledge sharing, as moderated by team and individual variables. Data (n = 84) was collected in an experimental study from undergraduate business student participants. Effects of expected reciprocity on knowledge sharing depended on the levels of individual competence, positive team attitudes, functional diversity and demographic ...

Recent evidence highlights the importance of social norms in many economic relations. However, many of these relationships are long-term and provide repeated game incentives for performance. We experimentally investigate interaction effects of reciprocity and repeated game incentives in two treatments (one-shot and repeated) of a gift-exchange game. In both treatments we observe reciprocity, wh...
