On Multiobjective Oligopoly
Tập 7 - Trang 205-219 - 2003
Multiobjective oligopoly models are constructed. The objectives of the first two models are to maximize profits and to maximize sales. In the third model the objectives are to maximize profits and to minimize risk. Giving more weight to risk minimization decreased the profits. In all three models, we found that the weight of profit maximization has to be higher than a given threshold. Again they r......
Nonlinear Coherence in Multivariate Research: Invariants and the Reconstruction of Attractors
Tập 1 - Trang 7-33 - 1997
First, some linear techniques in multivariate time-series analysis in EEG research are reviewed to highlight the problem of estimating the dimensionality of the state space (embedding dimension), the reconstruction of an attractor, and the evaluation of invariant properties of the attractor. The traditional linear techniques included the usual spectral and cospectral measures of p......
Common Owning, Transmission, and Development of Knowledge
Tập 6 - Trang 173-183 - 2002
This paper studies the relationship between social institutions and individual behaviour through the development of the cognitive framework of individuals. Social sciences have had interests in social institutions or norms. Much of the studies treat the problem from the viewpoint of social costs and lack focus on individual action and cognition. To consider the problem as a whole naturally means t......
Speculations on Nonlinear Speculative Bubbles
Tập 1 - Trang 275-300 - 1997
This paper reviews a variety of issues related to speculative bubbles, especially those involving nonlinear dynamics. Models of irrational bubbles, rational bubbles, and bubbles arising from heterogeneous agents with varying degrees of knowledge or rationality are examined. The latter are shown to be prone to nonlinear dynamics with catastrophic discontinuities, chaos, and other f......
Confidence Judgments for Discriminations in Nonlinear Psychophysics
- 1999
Psychophysical tasks requiring stimulus discrimination frequently report underconfidence; subjects think they are doing less accurately at discrimination or identification than is the case, measured in terms of probabilities of correct performance. An investigation to see if underconfidence is predictable from the intrinsic nonlinearities of the psychophysics, without assuming tha......
Long Memory in Cyclical Fluctuations
Tập 2 - Trang 243-251 - 1998
Conventional macroeconomic theory treats output fluctuations as merely transitory deviations around a deterministic pattern, the natural output trend. From such a perspective, output fluctuations can only be short-lived, thus giving economic shocks no lasting impact on long-term output. A rescaled range (R/S) approach is used in the context of cyclical fluctuations to explore thes......
Fundamental Concepts of Collective Intelligence
Tập 1 - Trang 35-53 - 1997
A collective intelligence consists of a large number of quasi-independent, stochastic agents, interacting locally both among themselves as well as with an active environment, in the absence of hierarchical organization, and yet which is capable of adaptive behavior. The major concepts arising from our current understanding of collective intelligence are reviewed. These include sto......
Generating Replications of Chaotic Time Series
Tập 5 - Trang 77-87 - 2001
This paper addresses the problem of resampling chaotic time series. We propose a method based on resampling distances between nearest neighbours in phase space, so that the resampled time series present the original points differently positioned along the trajectory. This approach allows one to obtain time series with the same length of the original one, so that confidence intervals for Lyapunov e......
