Motivation. That elegant fiction the competitive equilibrium seems still to dominate the frontiers of theoretical microeconomics. We may think of it in a general way as a state of affairs wherein economic agents, responding "rationally" to annoWlced prices, make choices which are consistent and feasible. The prices may also be described as "taken": for one reason or another the agents who respond to them consider them as given. The existence of such a state, its optimality, its robustness against free bargaining among agents when there are many of them, its Wliqueness, its stability when...

1.1. The origin of the multiobjective problem and a short historical review The continuing search for a discovery of theories, tools and c- cepts applicable to decision-making processes has increased the complexity of problems eligible for analytical treatment. One of the more pertinent criticisms of current decision-making theory and practice is directed against the traditional approximation of multiple goal behavior of men and organizations by single, technically-convenient criterion. Reins- tementof the role of human judgment in more realistic, multiple goal se, ttings has been one of the...

Eine von John von Neumann im Jahre 1937 publizierte Arbeit "Ober ein tikonomisches Gleichunqssystem und eine Verall e meinerung des Brouwerschen Fixpunktsatzes" hat zu einer groBen Zahl weiterer Publikationen AnlaB gegeben, obwohl die von Neumannsche Arbeit erst 1946, nach ihrer Obersetzung ins Englische, einem grtiBeren Kreis von Okonomen und Mathematikern bekannt wurde. Dazu mag ein gleichzeitig erschienener Artikel von D.G. Champernowne, in dem die tikonomische Bedeutung der von Neumannschen Konstruktion erlautert wird, mitbeigetragen haben. Die sich rasch vergrtissernde Literatur Uber...

Die vorgetegte Untersuchung dient einer ausfuhrtichen und exakten Darstettung der bei einfachen Warte systemen vom Typ GIIGl1 mit betiebig endtichem Oder unendtichem Warteraum auftretenden Warteschtagenprozesse, der Perioden ununterbrochener Bedienung sowie der Leertaufzeitspannen der jeweitigen Bedienungseinheit bei besonderer Beachtung des Stabititatsverhattens dieser Grossen, wenn Zeit und Warteraum unabhangig voneinander uber atte Grenzen wachsen. Die vorgetegte Methode der zusatztichen Variabte zur Ge winnung eines mehrdimensionaten Markoffprozesses wird auf eine exakte Basis gestettt...

This study is concerned with the economic theory of exhaustible resources. My interest in exhaustible resources dates back several years when prof. dr. J. Cramer and prof. dr. C. von Weizsacker stimu lated me to direct my research, at the Faculty of Actuarial Science and Econometrics of the University of Amsterdam, to the exploitation of Dutch natural gas. This issue raised many theoretical problems, in which I got gradually more and more involved. I was lucky to find in prof. dr. H. Weddepohl a person prepared to listen patiently and to read and critisize my numerous attempts to solve these...

The analysis and optimization of convex functions have re ceived a great deal of attention during the last two decades. If we had to choose two key-words from these developments, we would retain the concept of ubdi66 e and the duality theo y. As it usual in the development of mathematical theories, people had since tried to extend the known defi nitions and properties to new classes of functions, including the convex ones. For what concerns the generalization of the notion of subdifferential, tremendous achievements have been carried out in the past decade and any rna.. thematician who is...

In the last few years, hopes have emerged that simple concepts could perhaps explain the extremely complicated biomolecular processes which are known to a greater and greater accuracy thanks to the extraordinary progress of biology. In parallel, powerful methods in physics, especially nonlinearity and cooperative effects, have been developed. They apply especially to biological phenomena and can explain coherent excitations with remarkable properties. This book provides a pedagogical introduction to the theory of nonlinear excitations and solitons in a biological environment, and also to the...
