Social comparisons are known to increase individual work morale, but because they could foster competition, may also negatively impact how well co-workers together. This paper uses a novel experiment explore this potential tradeoff. The varies whether members of reference group receive relative performance information on knowledge task and measures affects the willingness subsequently help prod...

Generalized Order-Value Optimization (GOVO) problems involve functions whose evaluation depends on order relations on some representation functional set. Examples will be given of GOVO problems that may be analyzed in the context of Piecewise-Smooth Optimization. Generalizations of algorithms that have been proved to be effective for proving special classes of GOVO problems will be introduced. ...

This paper formulates a novel expression for entropy inspired in the properties of Fractional Calculus. The characteristics of the generalized fractional entropy are tested both in standard probability distributions and real world data series. The results reveal that tuning the fractional order allow an high sensitivity to the signal evolution, which is useful in describing the dynamics of comp...

in this paper, we study rst order linear fuzzy dierential equations with fuzzy coecient and initial value. we use the generalized dierentiability concept and apply the exponent matrix to present the general form of their solutions. finally, one example is given to illustrate our results.

this paper proposes a new method for parameter estimation of distorted single phase signals, through an improved demodulation-based phase tracking incorporated with a frequency adaptation mechanism. the simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method compared to the conventional sogi (second-order generalized integrator)-based approach, in spite of the dc-offset and harmon...

suppose $t$ and $s$ are moore-penrose invertible operators betweenhilbert c*-module. some necessary and sufficient conditions are given for thereverse order law $(ts)^{ dag} =s^{ dag} t^{ dag}$ to hold.in particular, we show that the equality holds if and only if $ran(t^{*}ts) subseteq ran(s)$ and $ran(ss^{*}t^{*}) subseteq ran(t^{*}),$ which was studied first by greville [{it siam rev. 8 (1966...

In this paper, we study the generalized Marcum -function where and . Our aim is to extend the results of Corazza and Ferrari (IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory, vol. 48, pp. 3003–3008, 2002) to the generalized Marcum -function in order to deduce some new tight lower and upper bounds. The key tools in our proofs are some monotonicity properties of certain functions involving the modified Bessel function o...
