Rationalizability of Choice Functions on General Domains without Full Transitivity

The rationalizability of a choice function by means of a transitive relation has been analyzed thoroughly in the literature. However, not much seems to be known when transitivity is weakened to quasi-transitivity or acyclicity. We describe the logical relationships between the different notions of rationalizability involving, for example, the transitivity, quasi-transitivity, or acyclicity of the rationalizing relation. Furthermore, we discuss sufficient conditions and necessary conditions for rational choice on arbitrary domains. Transitive, quasi-transitive, and acyclical rationalizability are fully characterized for domains that contain all singletons and all two-element subsets of the universal set.

Non-Deteriorating Choice without Full Transitivity

Although the theory of greatest-element rationalizability and maximal-element rationalizability under general domains and without full transitivity of rationalizing relations is well-developed in the literature, these standard notions of rational choice are often considered to be too demanding. An alternative definition of rationality of choice is that of non-deteriorating choice, which requires that the chosen alternatives must be judged at least as good as a reference alternative. In game theory, this definition is well-known under the name of individual rationality when the reference alternative is construed to be the status quo. This alternative form of rationality of individual and social choice is characterized in this paper on general domains and without full transitivity of rationalizing relations.

Étude de la coalescence de nanogouttelettes par dynamique moléculaire

Ce travail est consacré à l’étude de la coalescence de gouttelettes liquides à l’échelle du nanomètre. Nous nous sommes intéressés principalement à l’évolution du changement topologique des gouttelettes à partir de la rupture des surfaces au moment du contact initial jusqu’à la coalescence complète. Nous utilisons la dynamique moléculaire afin de simuler plusieurs types de gouttelettes soit en utilisant le potentiel empirique de type Stillinger-Weber pour des gouttelettes de silicium (l-Si) en 3 dimensions et le modèle Embedded Atom Method pour des gouttelettes de cuivre liquide (l-Cu) en 2d, quasi-2d (disques) et 3 dimensions. Qualitativement, toutes les simulations démontrent une coalescence similaire indépendamment de la dimension de calcul (2d à 3d), de la taille et de la température initiale des gouttelettes. La coalescence évolue par une déformation rapide des surfaces sans mixage important entre les atomes des deux gouttelettes initiales. De plus, nous étudions l’évolution du col de coalescence formé lors du contact initial entre les gouttelettes et, pour les systèmes en 3d, nous observons une transition claire d’un régime visqueux vers un régime inertiel du rayon de ce col, tel que suggéré par des modèles théoriques. Pour les gouttelettes de cuivre nous observons exactement le comportement des prédictions analytiques et confirmons que le premier régime suit un comportement visqueux sans aplatissement local des gouttelettes. La situation est différente pour les gouttelettes de l-Si où nous observons un effet plus grand, par rapport aux prédictions analytiques, du rayon et de la température initiale des gouttelettes sur l’évolution du col de coalescence. Nous suggérons que les paramètres décrivant l’évolution de la coalescence dépendent des propriétés des matériaux utilisés contrairement à la théorie universelle couramment utilisée.

Expected utility without full transitivity

We generalize the classical expected-utility criterion by weakening transitivity to Suzumura consistency. In the absence of full transitivity, reflexivity and completeness no longer follow as a consequence of the system of axioms employed and a richer class of rankings of probability distributions results. This class is characterized by means of standard expected-utility axioms in addition to Suzumura consistency. An important feature of some members of our new class is that they allow us to soften the negative impact of wellknown paradoxes without abandoning the expected-utility framework altogether.

Full complex Fresnel holograms displayed on liquid cristal displays

We propose a method to display full complex Fresnel holograms by adding the information displayed on two analogue ferroelectric liquid crystal spatial light modulators. One of them works in real-only configuration and the other in imaginary-only mode. The Fresnel holograms are computed by backpropagating an object at a selected distance with the Fresnel transform. Then, displaying the real and imaginary parts on each panel, the object is reconstructed at that distance from the modulators by simple propagation of light. We present simulation results taking into account the specifications of the modulators as well as optical results. We have also studied the quality of reconstructions using only real, imaginary, amplitude or phase information. Although the real and imaginary reconstructions look acceptable for certain distances, full complex reconstruction is always better and is required when arbitrary distances are used.

Thermal Noise Behavior of the Bridge Circuit

This paper considers a connection between the deterministic and noisy behavior of nonlinear networks. Specifically, a particular bridge circuit is examined which has two possibly nonlinear energy storage elements. By proper choice of the constitutive relations for the network elements, the deterministic terminal behavior reduces to that of a single linear resistor. This reduction of the deterministic terminal behavior, in which a natural frequency of a linear circuit does not appear in the driving-point impedance, has been shown in classical circuit theory books (e.g. [1, 2]). The paper shows that, in addition to the reduction of the deterministic behavior, the thermal noise at the terminals of the network, arising from the usual Nyquist-Johnson noise model associated with each resistor in the network, is also exactly that of a single linear resistor. While this result for the linear time-invariant (LTI) case is a direct consequence of a well-known result for RLC circuits, the nonlinear result is novel. We show that the terminal noise current is precisely that predicted by the Nyquist-Johnson model for R if the driving voltage is zero or constant, but not if the driving voltage is time-dependent or the inductor and capacitor are time-varying

Els estudis de pedagogia de la Universitat de Girona s’han dotat d’un Full de Ruta. El document el composen dotze eixos de treball que són ambiciosos però que, els redactors, consideren necessaris en un moment en què el pedagog ha traspassat l’àmbit escolar per diversificar la seva actuació cap a altres àmbits com són el social, el cultural, el de la comunicació o el laboral

Full label space reduction in MPLS networks: asymmetric merged tunneling

Traffic Engineering objective is to optimize network resource utilization. Although several works have been published about minimizing network resource utilization in MPLS networks, few of them have been focused in LSR label space reduction. This letter studies Asymmetric Merged Tunneling (AMT) as a new method for reducing the label space in MPLS network. The proposed method may be regarded as a combination of label merging (proposed in the MPLS architecture) and asymmetric tunneling (proposed recently in our previous works). Finally, simulation results are performed by comparing AMT with both ancestors. They show a great improvement in the label space reduction factor

Análisis del Proyecto Mesoaméricano y su incidencia en la integración de la Región Centroaméricana y Colombia : Período de Estudio 2001-2007

El Proyecto Mesoamericano es un proyecto de integración entre los países de Mesoamerica; es decir, que es una integración entre los nueves Estados del Sureste de México (Campeche, Chiapas, Guerrero, Oaxaca, Puebla, Quintana Roo, Tabasco, Veracruz y Yucatán)y los territorios de Guatemala, El Salvador, Belice, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica y Panamá. Aunque a partir del 2006 Colombia ingresó con todos los derechos de participación. El proyecto busca principalmente aumentar la calidad de vida de los habitantes potencializando el desarrollo económico, reduciendo la pobreza, aumentando el capital humano y natural de la región, dentro de un contexto de respeto a la diversidad cultural, étnica e inclusión social. Para esto el Proyecto Mesoamericano se ha dividido en 9 Iniciativas las cuales a cada país le corresponde desarrollar cada una. Es por esto que a México le correspondió desarrollar la Iniciativa de Desarrollo Humano; a Belice la iniciativa de Turismo; a Guatemala la Iniciativa Energética; a El Salvador, Telecomunicaciones; a Costa Rica, Transporte; a Honduras Facilitación Comercial y Competitividad; a Nicaragua, Desarrollo Sostenible; a Panamá, Prevención y Mitigación de Desastres Naturales y finalmente a Colombia le correspondió desarrollar el tema de los biocombustibles. estas Iniciativas todas tienen la misma importancia pero a diferencia de las otras; la Iniciativa Energética es la más desarrollada y ejecutada hasta el momento por ser la más grande; entre sus proyectos están: El Sistema de Interconexión Eléctrica SIEPAC, la Interconexión Eléctrica entre México y Guatemala, la Interconexión Eléctrica entre Panamá y Colombia, el Proyecto de Biocombustibles y las Energías Renovables. Esta Iniciativa ha hecho que la integración entre los países de la región se afiance mucho más. Aunque todavía existe mucho rechazo por parte de la población campesina e indígena por el temor a perder sus recursos naturales y que estos sean privatizados. De igual forma Colombia es muy importante para el proyecto puesto que Colombia geoestratégicamente es el puente entre Centroamérica y Suramérica y es un factor clave para el Proyecto Mesoamericano.
