A new weighted metric: the relative metric II

In the first part of this investigation we generalized a weighted distance function of R.-C. Li's and found necessary and sufficient conditions for it being a metric. In this paper some properties of this so-called M-relative metric are established. Specifically, isometries and quasiconvexity results are derived. We also illustrate connections between our approach and generalizations of the hyperbolic metric.     

Caftan-Hartogs域上K(a)hler-Einstein度量与Bergman度量的等价

本文研究的是华罗庚域的特殊类型第二类Cartan-Hartogs域的不变Bergman度量与Kahler-Einstein度量的等价问题.引入一种与Bergman度量等价的新的完备的Kahler度量ωgλ,其Ricci曲率和全纯截取率具有负的上下界.然后应用丘成桐对Schwarz引理的推广证明ωgλ等价于Kahler-Einstein度量,从而得到了Bergman度量与Khhler-Einstein度量的等价,即丘成桐关于度量等价的猜想在第二类Cartan-Hartogs域上成立.     

Comparison theorem on Cartan-Hartogs domain of the first type

In this paper the holomorphic sectional curvature under invariant Kahler metrics on Cartan-Hartogs domain of the first type are given in explicit forms. In the meantime, we construct an invariant Kahler metric, which is not less than Bergman metric such that its holomorphic sectional curvature is bounded from above by a negative constant. Hence we obtain the comparison theorem for the Bergman metric and Kobayashi metric on Cartan-Hartogs domain of the first type.     

Some constructions of projectively flat Finsler metrics

In this paper, we find some solutions to a system of partial differential equations that characterize the projectively flat Finsler metrics. Further, we discover that some of these metrics actually have the zero flag curvature.     

On a class of weak Landsberg metrics

In this paper, we discuss a class of Finsler metrics defined by a Riemannian metric and a 1-form on a manifold. We characterize weak Landsberg metrics in this class and show that there exist weak Landsberg metrics which are not Landsberg metrics in dimension greater than two.     

On Generalized Douglas–Weyl(α, β)-Metrics

In this paper, we study generalized Douglas–Weyl(α, β)-metrics. Suppose that a regular(α, β)-metric F is not of Randers type. We prove that F is a generalized Douglas–Weyl metric with vanishing S-curvature if and only if it is a Berwald metric. Moreover, by ignoring the regularity, if F is not a Berwald metric, then we find a family of almost regular Finsler metrics which is not Douglas nor Weyl. As its application, we show that generalized Douglas–Weyl square metric or Matsumoto metric with isotropic mean Berwald curvature are Berwald metrics.

A note on L. Zhou's result on Finsler surfaces with K = 0 and J = 0

In this note, we show that the examples of non-Berwaldian Landsberg surfaces with vanishing flag curvature, obtained in [5], are in fact Berwaldian. Consequently, Bryant's claim is still unverified.

Demand sensitivity to space-price competition with Manhattan and Euclidean representations of distance

This paper provides extensive evidence from a simulation model supporting our claim that it is not appropriate to use the Euclidean metric in a competitive system where the Manhattan metric would provide a more accurate representation of distances. The Euclidean metric has the property of biasing firms' demands by a distortion of their sensitivity to competitive strategies and, therefore, generates an excessive level of competition.     

On Einstein Matsumoto metrics

We study a special class of Finsler metrics,namely,Matsumoto metrics F=α2α-β,whereαis a Riemannian metric andβis a 1-form on a manifold M.We prove that F is a(weak)Einstein metric if and only ifαis Ricci flat andβis a parallel 1-form with respect toα.In this case,F is Ricci flat and Berwaldian.As an application,we determine the local structure and prove the 3-dimensional rigidity theorem for a(weak)Einstein Matsumoto metric.     

Causal analysis of futures sugar prices in Zhengzhou

In this paper, we are interested in investigating the causal relationships among futures sugar prices in the Zhengzhou futures exchange market (ZF), the spot sugar prices in Zhengzhou (ZS) and the futures sugar prices in New York futures exchange market (NF). A useful tool called Bayesian network is introduced to analyze the problem. Since there are only three variables in our Bayesian network, the algorithm is straightforward: we display all the 25 possible network structures and adopt certain scoring metrics to evaluate them. We applied five different scoring metrics in total. Firstly, for each metric, we obtained 24 scores, each calculated from one of the 24 possible structures i.e. a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG). Then we eliminated the network structure which represents the independence of the three variables according to our prior knowledge concerning the futures sugar market. After that, the optimal network structure which implies the causal relationships was selected according to the corresponding scoring metric. Finally, after comparing the results from different scoring metrics, we obtained the relatively affirmative conclusion that ZS causes ZF from both the Bayesian Dirichlet (BD) metric, Bayesian Dirichlet-Akaike Information Criterion (BD-AIC) metric, Bayesian Dirichlet-Bayesian Information Criterion (BD-BIC) metric and Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) metric. The conclusions that NF causes ZF and ZF causes ZS from the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) metric and ZF causes ZS from the BIC metric were useful and significant to our investigation.

Moreover, we establish rigidity theorems for three-dimensional compact, oriented, connected V-static metrics with nonnegative Ricci curvature. Finally, we obtain classification results on three-dimensional vacuum static space and Miao–Tam critical metric with nonnegative Ricci curvature.
