Limit Theorems for Branching Processes with Random Migration Components

The classical Bienaymé-Galton-Watson (BGW) branching process can be interpreted as mathematical model of population dynamics when the members of an isolated population reproduce themselves independently of each other according to a stochastic law.

Nonlinear limit of alternative method to 2 × 2 MIMO for LTE RoF system

Owing to the limited cell size of eNodeB (eNB), the relay node has emerged as an attractive solution for the long-term evolution (LTE) system. The nonlinear limit of the alternative method to multipleinput and multiple-output (MIMO) based on frequency division multiplexing (FDM) for orthogonal FDM (OFDM) is analysed over varying transmission spans. In this reported work, it is shown that the degradation pattern over the linear, intermixing and nonlinear propagation regions is consistent for the 2 and the 2.6 GHz bands. The proposed bands experienced a linear increase in the error vector magnitude (EVM) for both the linear and the nonlinear regions proportional to the increasing transmission spans. In addition, an optical launch power between -2 and 2 dBm achieved a significantly lower EVM than the LTE limit of 8% for the 10-60 km spans. © The Institution of Engineering and Technology 2014.

The impact of phase conjugation on the nonlinear-Shannon limit:the difference between optical and electrical phase conjugation

We show that optical and electrical phase conjugation enable effective nonlinear compensation, The impact of polarization mode dispersion and finite processing bandwidth on the ultimate limits are also considered.

Stokes waves revisited:exact solutions in the asymptotic limit

The Stokes perturbative solution of the nonlinear (boundary value dependent) surface gravity wave problem is known to provide results of reasonable accuracy to engineers in estimating the phase speed and amplitudes of such nonlinear waves. The weakling in this structure though is the presence of aperiodic “secular variation” in the solution that does not agree with the known periodic propagation of surface waves. This has historically necessitated increasingly higher-ordered (perturbative) approximations in the representation of the velocity profile. The present article ameliorates this long-standing theoretical insufficiency by invoking a compact exact n-ordered solution in the asymptotic infinite depth limit, primarily based on a representation structured around the third-ordered perturbative solution, that leads to a seamless extension to higher-order (e.g., fifth-order) forms existing in the literature. The result from this study is expected to improve phenomenological engineering estimates, now that any desired higher-ordered expansion may be compacted within the same representation, but without any aperiodicity in the spectral pattern of the wave guides.

Cooperation in supply chains: A cooperative game theoretic analysis = Együttműködés ellátási láncokban: Egy kooperatív játékelméleti elemzés

A cikkben a kooperatív játékelmélet fogalmait alkalmazzuk egy ellátási lánc esetében. Az ostorcsapás-hatás elemeit egy beszállító-termelő ellátási láncban ragadjuk meg egy Arrow-Karlin típusú modellben lineáris készletezési és konvex termelési költség mellett. Feltételezzük, hogy mindkét vállalat minimalizálja a fontosabb költségeit. Két működési rendszert hasonlítunk össze: egy hierarchikus döntéshozatali rendszert, amikor először a termelő, majd a beszállító optimalizálja helyzetét, majd egy centralizált (kooperatív) modellt, amikor a vállalatok az együttes költségüket minimalizálják. A kérdés úgy merül fel, hogy a csökkentett ostorcsapás-hatás esetén hogyan osszák meg a részvevők ebben a transzferálható hasznosságú kooperatív játékban. = In this paper we apply cooperative game theory concepts to analyze supply chains. The bullwhip effect in a two-stage supply chain (supplier-manufacturer) in the framework of the Arrow-Karlin model with linear-convex cost functions is considered. It is assumed that both firms minimize their relevant costs, and two cases are examined: the supplier and the manufacturer minimize their relevant costs in a decentralized and in a centralized (cooperative) way. The question of how to share the savings of the decreased bullwhip effect in the centralized (cooperative) model is answered by transferable utility cooperative game theory tools.

The existence of an inverse limit of inverse system of measure spaces - a purely measurable case

The existence of an inverse limit of an inverse system of (probability) measure spaces has been investigated since the very beginning of the birth of the modern probability theory. Results from Kolmogorov [10], Bochner [2], Choksi [5], Metivier [14], Bourbaki [3] among others have paved the way of the deep understanding of the problem under consideration. All the above results, however, call for some topological concepts, or at least ones which are closely related topological ones. In this paper we investigate purely measurable inverse systems of (probability) measure spaces, and give a sucient condition for the existence of a unique inverse limit. An example for the considered purely measurable inverse systems of (probability) measure spaces is also given.

Framing the Game: Objections to Bapat’s Game-Theoretic Modeling of the Afghan Surge

In a recently published article in the prestigious journal Foreign Policy Analysis, Navin A. Bapat uses a rationalist approach to explain key bargaining processes related to the Afghanistan conflict, concluding that “the Afghan mission may continue for political reasons until it is impossible to sustain militarily.” The article captures the essence of the strategic situation in Afghanistan: the losing dynamic involved. This brief commentary in response is an attempt to shed light on where the tenets of Bapat’s game-theoretic model may be erroneous, even while the model does produce conclusions that appear valid overall.

Az ajánlati könyv statisztikai tulajdonságai (Statistical properties of the limit order book)

A pénzügyi modellek jelentős része feltételezi a piacok hatékony működését. Ennek következtében számos tudományos kutatás központi témája volt a piacok hatékonyságának tesztelése és ennek igazolása, esetleg cáfolata. Ezen próbálkozások azonban mind a mai napig eredménytelenül zárultak. A tesztelések nyomán a kutatások a termékek áralakulásából indultak ki, és a hozamokat ezen keresztül elemezték. Az elmúlt években azonban a fókusz átterelődött az árak alakulásáról egy elemibb tényezőre, az ajánlati könyvre. Ugyanis végső soron az ajánlatvezérelt piacokon az árakat az ajánlati könyvbe benyújtott megbízások alakulása fogja meghatározni. Mivel a tőzsdék jelentős része ajánlatvezérelt piacként működik, ezért érdemesnek tartották a kutatók, hogy inkább az ajánlati könyv alakulásának statisztikai jellemzőit elemezzék, hátha az eredményre vezet, és sikerül közelebb jutni a hatékony piacok elméletének igazolásához vagy cáfolatához. Jelen tanulmány célja az, hogy az eddig megjelent tudományos kutatások alapján ismertesse az ajánlati könyv alapvető statisztikai tulajdonságait, és rávilágítson arra: mindez valójában hozzájárult-e a hatékony piacok elméletének igazolásához? ______ Most of the fi nancial models assume that markets are effi cient. As a result, numerous scientifi c researchers were focused on testing the effi cient market hypothesis, and tried to prove, or deny it. However, all these attempts are still unsuccessful. During these researches, the analyses of the effi cient market hypothesis were based on the price evolution of a certain asset, and through this the returns were examined. In the recent years the research interest has changed, and instead of analyzing the returns, a more primary factor got into focus, namely the limit order book. The reason is that on order driven markets the prices and the order sizes in the limit order book infl uence the price evolution on the market. Since a notable number of stock markets operate as an order driven market, the researchers thought that it worth analyzing the statistical properties of the limit order book, because maybe it will get us closer to the proof of the effi cient market hypothesis. The purpose of this study is to summarize the statistical properties of the limit order book, based on the scientifi c works published so far. The study would like to highlight whether these studies contributed to the proof or disproof of the effi cient market hypothesis.
