This volume contains selected papers presented at the "International Workshop on Computationally Intensive Methods in Simulation and Op th th timization" held from 23 to 25 August 1990 at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (nASA) in La enburg, Austria. The purpose of this workshop was to evaluate and to compare recently developed methods dealing with optimization in uncertain environments. It is one of the nASA's activities to study optimal decisions for uncertain systems and to make the result usable in economic, financial, ecological and resource planning. Over 40...

Contains 30 selected papers from an international conference on bootstrapping and related techniques held in Trier, Germany in 1990. Addressing the novice and expert, it covers both theoretical and practical aspects of these statistical techniques.

This monograph deals with the analysis of some formal problems involving operators in Euclidean spaces and their applications to economic modelling. It contains a set of results on the solvability of complementarity problems and variational inequalities.

This volume contains the proceedings of the summer school "Modern Methods of Optimization," held at the Schlof3 Thurnau of the University of Bayreuth, October 1-6, 1990. Like other branches of applied mathematics the area of optimization is undergoing a rapid development since the beginning of the computer age. Optimizaiton methods are of increasing importance for both, science and industry. The aim of the summer school was to present state-of-the-art knowledge by inviting 12 specialists from Op timization (and related fields) to present their areas of activity in the form of survey talks....

This is a revised version of a doctoral thesis, submitted in mimeographed fonn to the Faculty of Arts, Uppsala University, 1988. It deals with the notions of struc tural dependence and independence, which are used in many applications of mathe matics to science. For instance, a physical law states that one physical aspect is structurally dependent on one or more other aspects. Structural dependence is closely related to the mathematical idea of functional dependence. However, struc tural dependence is primarily thought of as a relation holding between aspects rather than between their...

This volume contains the Proceedings of the Sixth French-German Conference on Optimization, which took place in June 1991 at Lambrecht (PfaIz). About one hundred scientists, mainly from France and Germany, but also from other european countries, met at the Palatinate Conference Center in the heart of the beautiful palatinate national park to review and discuss recent developments in the field of optimization. More than sixty lectures were delivered, covering a large part of the theoretical and practical aspects of optimization. They all contributed to a stimulating scientific exchange during...

It is probably fair to say that there does not exist a unique and generally accepted not ion of justice. Even if one confines oneself to economic justice one can still get many answers to the question of how justice - henceforth we shall use the term "distributive justice" should be defined and characterized. This may be disappointing for the outside observer but one can also view this as achallenge, at least as long as one thinks that distributive justice is an issue economics should be concerned with. Many problems of distributive justice can be described as follows: There is a fixed...

We are currently observing a discussion about the usefulness of space research and the amount of spin-off we obtain from space programs. One area which is widely overlooked is digital communications, although it is quite clear that the application of space research which has directly affected most people is certainly space communication via satellite. Direct broadcasting satellites, international telephone callsvia geostationary satellites and the growing mobile services by satellites serve more and more users. This book provides an overview of the state-of-the-art in communications systems...

This experimental study examines both spontaneous and strategically planned behaviour of boundedly rational subjects in a dynamics duopoly situation. It demonstrates how the most striking observation in both types of examination is the co-existence of co-operation and competition.
