Procedurally Rational Volunteers

The mixed-strategy equilibrium applied to the volunteer's dilemma (Diekmann, 1985 Diekmann , A. ( 1985 ). Volunteer's dilemma . Journal of Conflict Resolution , 29 , 605 – 610 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) predicts that the probability that at least 1 bystander volunteers decreases, if the number of bystander increases. I argue that this prediction lacks empirical support and demonstrate that an alternative solution concept from the literature on bounded rationality, the procedurally rational equilibrium (Osborne &; Rubinstein, 1998 Osborne , M. J. &; Rubinstein , A. ( 1998 ). Games with procedurally rational players . American Economic Review , 88 , 834 – 847 .[Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]), yields alternative predictions. I supply some empirical evidence that the alternative solution concept fares better in explaining observed behavior in the volunteer's dilemma.     

Hyponormality of bounded‐type Toeplitz operators

In this paper we deal with the hyponormality of Toeplitz operators with matrix‐valued symbols. The aim of this paper is to provide a tractable criterion for the hyponormality of bounded‐type Toeplitz operators (i.e., the symbol is a matrix‐valued function such that Φ and are of bounded type). In particular, we get a much simpler criterion for the hyponormality of when the co‐analytic part of the symbol Φ is a left divisor of the analytic part.

Comment on “A constructive proof on the existence of globally exponentially attractive set and positive invariant set of general Lorenz family”, P. Yu,X.X. Liao,S.L. Xie,Y.L. Fu [Commun Nonlinear Sci Numer Simulat 14 (2009) 2886–2896]

In the commented paper the authors study some aspects of boundedness in the general Lorenz family, $\dot{x}=\sigma (y-x)\text{,}\dot{y}=\rho x-\gamma y-\mathit{xz}\text{,}\dot{z}=-\beta z+\mathit{xy}$, considering that it contains four independent parameters. However, as we show here by means of a linear scaling in time and coordinates, they are dealing with a system homothetically equivalent to the Lorenz system. Consequently, the novel and interesting results they provide for the general Lorenz family can be obtained working directly with the Lorenz equations, that is, dealing only with three independent parameters.

Control of Stochastic Systems with Time-Varying Multiple Time Delays: LMI Approach

This paper deals with the class of continuous-time linear systems with Markovian jumps and multiple time delays. The systems that we are treating are assumed to have time-varying delays in their dynamics which can be different and also have uncertainties in the system parameters. The time-varying structure of the bounded uncertainties is considered. Delay-dependent conditions for stochastic stability and stochastic stabilizability and their robustness are considered. A design algorithm for a stabilizing memoryless controller is proposed. All the results are given in the LMI formalism.     

On Selfsimilar Jordan Curves on the Plane

We study the attractors of a finite system of planar contraction similarities S _j (j=1,...,n) satisfying the coupling condition: for a set {x ₀,...,x _n} of points and a binary vector (s ₁,...,s _n ), called the signature, the mapping S _j takes the pair {x ₀,x _n} either into the pair {x _j-1,x _j } (if s _j =0) or into the pair {x _j , x _j-1} (if s _j =1). We describe the situations in which the Jordan property of such attractor implies that the attractor has bounded turning, i.e., is a quasiconformal image of an interval of the real axis.     

Coherent trace-class operators in Hilbert couples

In this paper it is proved that the ideal of trace-class operators acting in a couple of Hilbert spaces coincides with the ideal of coherent trace-class operators. A new formula is derived for theK-functional in the couple of algebras of all bounded linear operators acting in a Hilbert couple, and new interpolation theorems are proved for trace class operators.Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 63, No. 6, pp. 866–872, June, 1998.This research was partially supported by the International Science Foundation and the Russian Government under grant JD 7100.
