Atom-photon entanglement in the system with competing k-photon and l-photon transitions

We have investigated the evolution of the atomic quantum entropy and the entanglement of atom-photon in the system with competing k-photon and l-photon transitions by means of fully quantum theory, and examined the effects of competing photon numbers （k and l）, the relative coupling strength between the atom and the two-mode field （A/g）, and the initial photon number of the field on the atomic quantum entropy and the entanglement of atom-photon. The results show that the multiphoton competing transitions or the large relative coupling strength can lead to the strong entanglement between atoms and photons. The maximal atom-photon entanglement can be prepared via the appropriate selection of system parameters and interaction time.     

Global stability of a three-dimensional bio-reactor with inhibition responses

A three-dimensional bio-reactor model of exploitative competition of two predator organisms with inhibition responses for the same renewable organism with reproductive properties is considered. By constructing a modified Lyapunov function and using LaSalle’s invariant principle, it is shown that the lower “break-even” concentration predator organism survives in the competition.      

p-Median theorems for competitive locations

In competitive location theory, one wishes to optimally choose the locations ofr facilities to compete againstp existing facilities for providing service (or goods) to the customers who are at given discrete points (or nodes). One normally assumes that: (a) the level of demand of each customer is fixed (i.e. this demand is not a function of how far a customer is from a facility), and (b) the customer always uses the closest available facility. In this paper we study competitive locations when one or both of the above assumptions have been relaxed. In particular, we show that for each case and under certain assumptions, there exists a set of optimal locations which consists entirely of nodes.This work was supported by a National Science Foundation Grant ECS-8121741.     

The pricing and optimal strategies of callable warrants

In this paper, we introduce a valuation model of callable warrants under a setting of the optimal stopping problem between the holder (investor) and the issuer (firm). A warrant is the right to purchase new shares at a predetermined price. When the new stocks are issued, the value of the stock is diluted. We consider the model taking the dilution into account. After identifying optimal policies for the issuer and the investor, we explore the analytical properties of the optimal exercise and call boundaries for the holder and the issuer, respectively. Furthermore, the value of such a callable warrant and the optimal critical prices are examined numerically using the binomial method.     

物价、利率与收入对居民消费需求影响研究——基于时变参数状态空间模型

运用时变参数状态空间模型对我国改革开放三十年来物价、利率与收入对农村和城镇居民消费需求影响的动态特征进行了研究。发现物价、收入对农村和城镇居民的消费需求弹性不同,农村消费需求受收入影响较大,而城市居民消费需求受物价影响较大;利率对农村和城镇居民消费需求影响不显著,利率机制目前还不是调解中国消费需求的理想工具。在此基础上给出了相应的政策建议。

Monotonicity in the stock competition game with consumer search

Anupindi and Bassok investigate the impact of centralizing the stocks in a one-manufacturer-two-retailer supply chain with consumer search. They observed through numerical studies that in the decentralized scenario, the retailers’ order quantities are monotonic in the consumer search probability. This paper provides an analytical justification of this monotonicity.

Spatial competition facility location models: Definition,formulation and solution approach

Models are presented for locating a firm's production facilities and determining production levels at these facilities so as to maximize the firm's profit. These models take into account the changes in price at each of the spatially separated markets that would result from the increase in supply provided by the new facilities and also from the response of competing firms. Two different models of spatial competition are presented to represent the competitive market situation in which the firm's production facilities are being located. These models are formulated as variational inequalities; recent sensitivity analysis results for variational inequalities are used to develop derivatives of the prices at each of the spatially separated markets with respect to the production levels at each of the new facilities. These derivatives are used to develop a linear approximation of the implicit function relating prices to productions. A heuristic solution procedure making use of this approximation is proposed.     

期权思想在多阶段项目投资中的应用

本文主要借助期权理论,讨论项目投资分多阶段进行时选择最佳投资的问题.首先通过在单阶段投资下建立项目投资的最佳选择框架,然后展开到项目投资分两个阶段进行的情形上进行讨论分析,得出此情形下的投资选择结论,最后把这一结论扩展到项目投资分多阶段进行的项目上.
