The Brag is Worse than the Fight: Pre-Announcing Competitive Decisions in Oligopoly Markets

description: We examine a duopolistic setting in which firms pre-announce their future competitive decisions (e.g., production quantities, capacity investments, etc.) before they actually undertake them. We show that, whether competing with substitute or complementary products, firms overstate their future actions in their pre-announcements, and choose higher real actions than the ones they would choose absent pre-announcements. If products are substitutes, firms overstate their future actions trying to preempt their rivals and, if products are complements, they do so to facilitate collusion. However, in both types of competition, we find that social welfare is maximized when the tolerance for this overstating behavior is at an intermediate level. We also examine the equilibrium with discretionary pre-announcements and, in this analysis, we distinguish between sticky and non-sticky disclosure decisions. We find that, if firms compete with substitute products, there is a unique equilibrium in which both firms pre-announce regardless of whether disclosure decisions are sticky or not. If products are complements, however, the equilibrium is contingent on the stickiness of the disclosure decisions. If they are sticky, unless both firms have a low credibility, only the firm with the higher credibility pre-announces and the other remains silent. Nevertheless, when disclosure decisions are not sticky, both firms pre-announce in a unique equilibrium.

description: The construction industry is renowned as being fragmented and complex, with a higher risk element in urban development projects, where construction sites are a common feature. Many stakeholders are involved in urban development projects, making effective integration and collaboration difficult. Moreover, the identification and engagement of external stakeholders involved in the project must be given further consideration, as they can influence project implementation, although they have no contractual relationship. Therefore, this paper aims to identify and document who the external stakeholders are in urban development projects, and how they are engaged by on-site project managers. This pilot study is at the beginning of an initial investigation, providing the basis of an ongoing PhD research project. The research method undertaken is qualitatively based, encompassing four case study interviews with four construction professionals on urban development projects located in London, England. The data accumulated is qualitatively assessed using mind mapping software, and cognitively summarised. The Local Authority, Residents and Local Businesses emerged as the three main external stakeholders, from a list of seventeen. From ten different strategies documented, Face-to-Face Meetings and Newsletters were identified as the two main strategies used to engage external stakeholders. The key contribution of this work illustrates to on-site management that the Local Authority, Residents and Local Businesses are the main external stakeholders to consider amongst others. Also, Face-to-Face Meetings and Newsletters are the more beneficial of the various wide-ranging engagement strategies identified, to manage and engage external stakeholders on urban development construction projects.

description: Results of an investigation of the $O(4)$ spin model at finite temperature using anisotropic lattices are presented. In both the large $N$ approximation and numerical simulations using the Wolff cluster algorithm we find that the ratio of the symmetry restoration temperature $T_{\rm SR}$ to the Higgs mass $m_{\rm H}$ is independent of the anisotropy $ξ$. From the numerical simulations we obtain a lower bound of $T_{\rm SR} / m_{\rm H} \simeq 0.58 \pm 0.02$ at a value for the Higgs mass $m_{\rm H}a_s \simeq 0.5$, which is lowered further by about $10\%$ at $m_{\rm H}a_s \simeq 1$. Requiring certain timelike correlation functions to coincide with their spacelike counterparts, quantum and scaling corrections to the anisotropy are determined and are found to be small, i.e., the anisotropy is found to be close to the ratio of spacelike and timelike lattice spacings.

description: Generation of nonclassical light is an essential tool for quantum optics research and applications in quantum information technology. We present realization of the source of nonclassically correlated photon pairs based on the process of spontaneous four-wave-mixing in warm atomic vapor. Atoms are excited only by a single laser beam in retro-reflected configuration and narrowband frequency filtering is employed for selection of correlated photon pairs. Nonclassicality of generated light fields is proved by analysis of their statistical properties. Measured parameters of the presented source promise further applicability for efficient interaction with atomic ensembles.
The Benefits and Costs of Currency Boards

description: Steve Hanke and Kurt Schuler have written another interesting paper on currency boards. I agree with most of what they say. Like them I believe that, currently, a currency board would be a better foundation for the monetary system of Russia and other former Soviet states than a central bank, commodity money, or free banking. This is inevitably a judgment. Economic theory does not permit us to say that a currency board is always an optimal arrangement or when it would not be. No one has described the circumstances under which a currency board, or more generally a fixed exchange rate system, is optimal. Hanke and Schuler suggest that information, credibility, and the size and strength of the banking system are relevant for the choice. These are surely some of the relevant criteria.

description: We fit the near-infrared to radio spectral energy distributions of 30 luminous and ultra-luminous infrared galaxies with pure starburst models or models that include both starburst and AGN components to determine important physical parameters for this population of objects. In particular we constrain the optical depth towards the luminosity source, the star formation rate, the star formation efficiency and the AGN fraction. We find that although about half of our sample have best-fit models that include an AGN component, only 30% have an AGN which accounts for more than 10% of the infrared luminosity, whereas all have an energetically dominant starburst. Our derived AGN fractions are generally in good agreement other measurements based in the mid-infrared line ratios measured by Spitzer IRS, but lower than those derived from PAH equivalent widths or the mid-infrared spectral slope. Our models determine the mass of dense molecular gas via the extinction required to reproduce the SED. Assuming that this mass is that traced by HCN, we reproduce the observed linear relation between HCN and infrared luminosities found by Gao & Solomon. We also find that the star formation efficiency, defined as the current star formation rate per unit of dense molecular gas mass, is enhanced in the ULIRGs phase. If the evolution of ULIRGs includes a phase in which an AGN contributes an important fraction to the infrared luminosity, this phase should last an order of magnitude less time than the starburst phase. Because the mass of dense molecular gas which we derive is consistent with observations of the HCN molecule,it should be possible to estimate the mass of dense, star-forming molecular gas in such objects when molecular line data are not available.

description: We consider a single-server queueing system in which the value customers obtain from service increases with their service time, but decreases with their waiting time. An example of such a system would be a medical clinic: customers always hope to spend little time waiting, but hope to see the doctor for a longer time. For such a system we show, surprisingly, that given a homogeneous customer population, system utility can be improved by increasing the variability in the system by varying the service rate. This is true even if the service rule is static, i.e. even if the service rate must be decided independent of the state of the system. Specifically, we show it is optimal to segment customers into service grades which are differentiated by their mean service rate (or equivalently mean service time). For such a system we derive the closed-form optimal strategies of service rate differentiation, showing that optimal service rates and grade utilizations both form geometric distributions. We also compute the asymptotic system performance (as the number of grades increases to infinity) and illustrate the sensitivity of the benefits of differentiation with respect to jobs’ characteristics: marginal service value, marginal waiting cost and variation of processing time. We find that providing differentiated service can improve system performance by 5% without any additional capacity investment.
Neuro-adaptive distributed control with prescribed performance for the synchronization of unknown nonlinear networked systems

description: This paper proposes a neuro-adaptive distributive cooperative tracking control with prescribed performance function (PPF) for highly nonlinear multi-agent systems. PPF allows error tracking from a predefined large set to be trapped into a predefined small set. The key idea is to transform the constrained system into unconstrained one through transformation of the output error. Agents' dynamics are assumed to be completely unknown, and the controller is developed for strongly connected structured network. The proposed controller allows all agents to follow the trajectory of the leader node, while satisfying necessary dynamic requirements. The proposed approach guarantees uniform ultimate boundedness of the transformed error and the adaptive neural network weights. Simulations include two examples to validate the robustness and smoothness of the proposed controller against highly nonlinear heterogeneous networked system with time varying uncertain parameters and external disturbances.

Determination of weak values of quantum operators using only strong measurements

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Weak values have been shown to be helpful especially when considering them as the outcomes of weak measurements. In this paper we show that in principle, the real and imaginary parts of the weak value of any operator may be elucidated from expectation values of suitably defined density, flux and hermitian commutator operators. Expectation values are the outcomes of strong (projective) measurements implying that weak values are general properties of operators in association with pre- and post-selection and they need not be preferentially associated with weak measurements. They should be considered as an important measurable property which provides added information as compared with the "standard" diagonal expectation value of an operator. As a first specific example we consider the determination of the real and imaginary parts of the weak value of the momentum operator employing projective time of flight experiments. Then the results are analyzed from the point of view of Bohmian mechanics. Finally we consider recent neutron interferometry experiments used to determine the weak values of the neutron spin.

description: Motivated by the recent realization of graphene sensors to detect individual gas molecules, we investigate the adsorption of H2O, NH3, CO, NO2, and NO on a graphene substrate using first-principles calculations. The optimal adsorption position and orientation of these molecules on the graphene surface is determined and the adsorption energies are calculated. Molecular doping, i.e. charge transfer between the molecules and the graphene surface, is discussed in light of the density of states and the molecular orbitals of the adsorbates. The efficiency of doping of the different molecules is determined and the influence of their magnetic moment is discussed.

description: The single charmed excited $Ξ_c(2930)$ state was discovered many years ago by BABAR collaboration and recently confirmed by Belle experiment. However, both of these experiments, unfortunately, could not fix the quantum numbers of this particle and its nature is under debates. In the present study, we calculate its mass and width of its dominant decay to $ Λ_c K $. To this end we consider $Ξ_c(2930)$ state once as angularly excited and then radially excited single charmed baryon in $ Ξ_c$ channel. Comparison of the obtained results with the experimental data suggests assignment of $Ξ_c(2930)$ state as the angular excitation of the ground state $Ξ_c$ baryon with quantum numbers $J^P=\frac{1}{2}^{-}$.

We develop a framework to explain how and when active faultlines strain the interpersonal relationships within a group or, on the contrary, maintain distinct perspectives and improve performance. We test this theory using 64 MBA project teams. Our findings support our general hypotheses that a common thinking style can integrate distinct viewpoints on the team and promote positive effects of diversity on team performance, while high trust, respect, and liking between group members will limit the negative effects of diversity on team satisfaction.

description: We consider the mass-radius bounds for spherically symmetric static compact objects in the de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) Massive Gravity theories, free of ghosts. In this type of gravitational theories the graviton, the quantum of gravity, may have a small, but non-vanishing mass. We derive the hydrostatic equilibrium and mass continuity equations in the Lorentz-violating Massive gravity in the presence of a cosmological constant and for a non-zero graviton mass. The case of the constant density stars is also investigated by numerically solving the equilibrium equations. The influence of the graviton mass on the global parameters (mass and radius) of these stellar configurations is also considered. The generalized Buchdahl relations, giving the upper and lower bounds of the mass-radius ratio are obtained, and discussed in detail. As an application of our results we obtain gravitational redshift bounds for compact stellar type objects in the Lorentz-violating dRGT Massive Gravity, which may (at least in principle) be used for observationally testing this theory in an astrophysical context.

description: Background. There is a move towards increased use of Reservists for all aspects of U.K. military operations. The dominant research focus looks for the link between increased military service and negative outcomes and has suggested that Reservists are especially prone to problems of adjustment on homecoming. Research in to the effects of homecoming on Reservists was found to be a neglected topic in the literature. Research question. The aim of this research was to explore how members of the United Kingdom Army Reserve experience returning to civilian life (homecoming), following a period of prolonged military mobilization. Method. A mixed methods approach was utilized. Firstly, Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was conducted on six Reservists, in order to understand their personal experiences of homecoming. Q Methodology was then selected for the second phase, using the IPA themes as the primary source for the Q Set. A Q Sort was conducted with 20 Reservists, in order to deliver the shared subjective viewpoints pertaining to homecoming. Results. Six themes emerged from the IPA phase, describing homecoming in terms of; activities, adjustment, culture, emotions, reflection and values. The Q Sort phase distilled the six themes into four homecoming factors: reflection on personal growth; adjustment, not stress; sense making and personal circumstances. Conclusions. The experience of participating on military operations was generally found to be developmental, supporting the concept of post-traumatic growth. Minimal adjustment issues were reported on homecoming relating to experiences on operations. However, some participants reported partners and close family members could be adversely affected. Also, any homecoming issues were more as a consequence of other pre-existing factors.

description: There are a number of places at which I disagree with Mr. Kolton and his colleagues at the American Stock Exchange but before launching into criticisms, I want to thank him for providing the clear and forthright statement of his views. My task would have been more difficult if he had been less candid and less clear. The central issue, as I see it, is the type of market place we are going to have. Economists and businessmen agree that the market system yields important benefits that are worth preserving, but often agreement ends there. The benefits that appeal most to businessmen are the profits that can be made; often they are willing to defend monopoly as a means of increasing profits. To economists, profits are only a means to an end. The goal or end is an allocation of real resources that corresponds to consumers desires as expressed by actual or desired spending. The features of the market system that appeal most to economists are the increase in efficiency, the elimination or reduction of monopoly profits, the increased benefits received by consumers, and the increased opportunities for choice.

description: Radiation hydrodynamics simulations were used to study the effect of plastic ablators in laser-driven shock experiments. The sensitivity to composition and equation of state was found to be 5-10% in ablation pressure. As was found for metals, a laser pulse of constant irradiance gave a pressure history which decreased by several percent per nanosecond. The pressure history could be made more constant by adjusting the irradiance history. The impedance mismatch with the sample gave an increase o(100%) in the pressure transmitted into the sample, for a reduction of several tens of percent in the duration of the peak load applied to the sample, and structured the release history by adding a release step to a pressure close to the ablation pressure. Algebraic relations were found between the laser pulse duration, the ablator thickness, and the duration of the peak pressure applied to the sample, involving quantities calculated from the equations of state of the ablator and sample using shock dynamics.

description: Development of the STM and ARPES spectroscopies enabled to reach the resolution level sufficient for detecting the particle-hole entanglement in superconducting materials. On a quantitative level one can characterize such entanglement in terms of the, so called, Bogoliubov angle which determines to what extent the particles and holes constitute the spatially or momentum resolved excitation spectra. In classical superconductors, where the phase transition is related to formation of the Cooper pairs almost simultaneously accompanied by onset of their long-range phase coherence, the Bogoliubov angle is slanted all the way up to the critical temperature Tc. In the high temperature superconductors and in superfluid ultracold fermion atoms near the Feshbach resonance the situation is different because of the preformed pairs which exist above Tc albeit loosing coherence due to the strong quantum fluctuations. We discuss a generic temperature dependence of the Bogoliubov angle in such pseudogap state indicating a novel, non-BCS behavior. For quantitative analysis we use a two-component model describing the pairs coexisting with single fermions and study their mutual feedback effects by the selfconsistent procedure originating from the renormalization group approach.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Superstring theory predicts the potential formation of string networks with bound states ending in junctions. Kinematic constraints for junction formation have been derived within the Nambu-Goto thin string approximation. Here we test these constraints numerically in the framework of the Abelian-Higgs model in the Type-I regime and report on good agreement with the analytical predictions. We also demonstrate that strings can effectively pass through each other when they meet at speeds slightly above the critical velocity permitting bound state formation. This is due to reconnection effects that are beyond the scope of the Nambu-Goto approximation.

description: This paper mainly talks about the Cauchy two-matrix model and its corresponding integrable hi- erarchy with the help of orthogonal polynomials theory and Toda-type equations. Starting from the symmetric reduction of Cauchy biorthogonal polynomials, we derive the Toda equation of CKP type (or the C-Toda lattice) as well as its Lax pair by introducing time flows. Then, matrix integral solutions to the C-Toda lattice are extended to give solutions to the CKP hierarchy which reveals the time-dependent partition function of the Cauchy two-matrix model is nothing but the τ-function of the CKP hiearchy. At last, the connection between the Cauchy two-matrix model and Bures ensemble is established from the point of view of integrable systems.

Year: 1992
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)

description: We present an algorithm for cluster dynamics to efficiently simulate large systems on MIMD parallel computers with large numbers of processors. The method divides physical space into rectangular cells which are assigned to processors and combines a serial local procedure with a nearest neighbor relaxation process. By controlling overhead and reducing inter-processor communication this method attains good performance and speed-up. The complexity and scaling properties of the algorithm are analyzed. The algorithm has been used to simulate large 2d Ising systems (up to 27808 X 27808 sites) with Swendsen-Wang dynamics. Typical updating times on the order of 82 nanosecs/site and efficiencies larger than 90% have been obtained using 256 processors on the CM-5 supercomputer.

description: We study mechanisms that permit program components to express role constraints on clients, focusing on programmatic security mechanisms, which permit access controls to be expressed, in situ, as part of the code realizing basic functionality. In this setting, two questions immediately arise: (1) The user of a component faces the issue of safety: is a particular role sufficient to use the component? (2) The component designer faces the dual issue of protection: is a particular role demanded in all execution paths of the component? We provide a formal calculus and static analysis to answer both questions.

description: The $B$-meson decay constant can be measured on the lattice using a $1/m_b$ expansion. To relate the physical quantity to Monte Carlo data one has to know the renormalization coefficient, $Z$, between the lattice operators and their continuum counterparts. We come back to this computation to resolve discrepancies found in previous calculations. We define and discuss in detail the renormalization procedure that allows the (perturbative) computation of $Z$. Comparing the one-loop calculations in the effective Lagrangian approach with the direct two-loop calculation of the two-point $B$-meson correlator in the limit of large $b$-quark mass, we prove that the two schemes give consistent results to order $α_s$. We show that there is, however, a renormalization prescription ambiguity that can have sizeable numerical consequences. This ambiguity can be resolved in the framework of an $O(a)$ improved calculation, and we describe the correct prescription in that case. Finally we give the numerical values of $Z$ that correspond to the different types of lattice approximations discussed in the paper.

description: Latest deep learning methods for object detection provide remarkable performance, but have limits when used in robotic applications. One of the most relevant issues is the long training time, which is due to the large size and imbalance of the associated training sets, characterized by few positive and a large number of negative examples (i.e. background). Proposed approaches are based on end-to-end learning by back-propagation [22] or kernel methods trained with Hard Negatives Mining on top of deep features [8]. These solutions are effective, but prohibitively slow for on-line applications. In this paper we propose a novel pipeline for object detection that overcomes this problem and provides comparable performance, with a 60x training speedup. Our pipeline combines (i) the Region Proposal Network and the deep feature extractor from [22] to efficiently select candidate RoIs and encode them into powerful representations, with (ii) the FALKON [23] algorithm, a novel kernel-based method that allows fast training on large scale problems (millions of points). We address the size and imbalance of training data by exploiting the stochastic subsampling intrinsic into the method and a novel, fast, bootstrapping approach. We assess the effectiveness of the approach on a standard Computer Vision dataset (PASCAL VOC 2007 [5]) and demonstrate its applicability to a real robotic scenario with the iCubWorld Transformations [18] dataset.
