This paper investigates the effect of focal points and initial relative position in the outcome of a bargaining process. We conduct two on-line experiments. In the first experiment we attempt to replicate Güth, Huck and Müller's (2001) results about the relevance of equal splits. In our second experiment, we recover the choices of participants in forty mini-ultimatum games. This design allows us to test whether the equal split or any other distribution or set of distributions are salient. Our data provide no support for a focal-point explanation but we find support for an explanation based on relative position. Our results confirm that there is a norm against hyper-fair offers. Proposers are expected to behave selfishly when the unselfish distribution leads to a change in the initial relative position.

In a A-type system employing a two-photon pump field, a four-wave mixing field can be generated simultaneously and, hence, a closed-loop system forms. We study theoretically the effect of the relative phase between the two incident fields on the generated four-wave mixing field and the electromagnetically induced transparency. It is found that the phase of the generated four-wave mixing field is the sum of the incident relative phase and a fixed phase that is irrelative to the incident relative phase. Hence, the total phase of the closed-loop system is independent of the incident relative phase. As a result, the incident relative phase has no effect on the electromagnetically induced transparency, which is different from the case of a A-type loop system closed by a third incident field.

We experimentally demonstrate the generation of an extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) supercontinuum in argon with a two-color laser field consisting of an intense 7 fs pulse at 800 nm and a relatively weak 37 fs pulse at 400 nm. By controlling the relative time delay between the two laser pulses, we observe enhanced high-order harmonic generation as well as spectral broadening of the supercontinuum. A method to produce isolated attosecond pulses with variable width and intensity is proposed. (C) 2008 Optical Society of America.

This thesis studies three classes of randomized numerical linear algebra algorithms, namely: (i) randomized matrix sparsification algorithms, (ii) low-rank approximation algorithms that use randomized unitary transformations, and (iii) low-rank approximation algorithms for positive-semidefinite (PSD) matrices.

Randomized matrix sparsification algorithms set randomly chosen entries of the input matrix to zero. When the approximant is substituted for the original matrix in computations, its sparsity allows one to employ faster sparsity-exploiting algorithms. This thesis contributes bounds on the approximation error of nonuniform randomized sparsification schemes, measured in the spectral norm and two NP-hard norms that are of interest in computational graph theory and subset selection applications.

Low-rank approximations based on randomized unitary transformations have several desirable properties: they have low communication costs, are amenable to parallel implementation, and exploit the existence of fast transform algorithms. This thesis investigates the tradeoff between the accuracy and cost of generating such approximations. State-of-the-art spectral and Frobenius-norm error bounds are provided.

The last class of algorithms considered are SPSD "sketching" algorithms. Such sketches can be computed faster than approximations based on projecting onto mixtures of the columns of the matrix. The performance of several such sketching schemes is empirically evaluated using a suite of canonical matrices drawn from machine learning and data analysis applications, and a framework is developed for establishing theoretical error bounds.

In addition to studying these algorithms, this thesis extends the Matrix Laplace Transform framework to derive Chernoff and Bernstein inequalities that apply to all the eigenvalues of certain classes of random matrices. These inequalities are used to investigate the behavior of the singular values of a matrix under random sampling, and to derive convergence rates for each individual eigenvalue of a sample covariance matrix.

We studied effects of the relative phase between the probe and driving fields on the absorption and dispersion properties in an open three-level ladder system with spontaneously generated coherence but without incoherent pumping. It is shown that by the phase controlling, switching from absorption to lasing without inversion (LWI) and enhancing remarkablely LWI gain can be realized; large index of refraction with zero absorption and the electromagnetically induced transparency can be obtained. We also find that varying the atomic injection and exit rates has a considerable influence on the phase dependent-absorption property of the probe field, existent of the atomic injection and exit rates gives the necessary condition of the realization of LWI, getting LWI is impossible in the corresponding closed system without incoherent pumping.

Elements with even atomic number (Z) in the interval 50 ≤ Z ≤ 58 have been resolved in the cosmic radiation using the Heavy Nuclei Experiment on the HEAO-3 satellite. Their relative abundances have been compared with the results expected from pure r-process material, pure s-process material, and solar system material, both with and without a modification due to possible first ionization potential effects. Such effects may be the result of the preferential acceleration, and hence enhancement in the cosmic rays, or those elements having low first ionization potentials. We find that our measurements are inconsistent with pure r-process material at the greater than 98% confidence level whether or not the first ionization potential adjustments are made.

In addition, we have compared our results with mixtures having varying ratios of pure r-process material to pure s-process material. We find that, if no first ionization potential effects are included,

(r/s)CRS/(r/s)SS = 0.20+0.18-0.14

where CRS refers to the cosmic ray source and SS refers to the solar system, consistent with having an almost pure s-process source. If the first ionization potential adjustments are applied

(r/s)CRS/(r/s)SS = 1.5+1.1-0.7

consistent with a solar system mixture.
