For a nonlinear filtering problem, the most heuristic andeasiest approximation is to use the Taylor series expansionand apply the conventional linear recursive Kalman filteralgorithm directly to the linearized nonlinear measurementand transition equations.
This volume consists of papers derived from the Ninth International Conference on Studies in Economic Ethics and Philosophy (SEEP), held at Trent University in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, in June of 2002.
Apart from the underlying theme that all the contributions to this volume pertain to models set in an infinite dimensional space, they differ on many counts.
This Festschrift was "e;presented"e; in electronic form to Buchanan on the occasion of his eightieth birthday on October 3, 1999, after dinner in Fairfax, Virginia.
Economics as Moral Science investigates the problem of the ethical neutrality of "e;mainstream"e; economic theory within the context of the methodology of economics as a science.
The approaches to economic ethics and business ethics in Continental Europe and those in America show considerable differences but also a shared interest in turning business ethics into a subject relevant and useful for business practice as well as for the philosophical debate on ethics.
This volume contains the proceedings of the summer school "e;Modern Methods of Optimization"e;, held at the Schlof3 Thurnau of the University of Bayreuth, October 1-6, 1990.
It is the main purpose of the book to give a logically consistent foundation of migration decision making under incomplete information in a unified framework.
This thesis is a theoretical study of the optimal dynamic policies of a, to some extent, slowly adjusting firm that faces an exogeneously given technological progress and an exogeneously given business cycle.
In addition to making a number of minor corrections and updat- ing the references, we have expanded the section on "e;real-time system identification"e; in Chapter 10 of the first edition into two sections and combined it with Chapter 8.
In this book a rigorous, systematic, mathematical analysis is presented for oligopoly with multi-product firms in static as well as dynamic frameworks in the light of recent developments in theories of games, oligopoly and industrial organization.
In engineering and economics a certain vector of inputs or decisions must often be chosen, subject to some constraints, such that the expected costs arising from the deviation between the output of a stochastic linear system and a desired stochastic target vector are minimal.
Zwischen der Kostentheorie des gegehenen Betriehes und dem, was in der Wissenschaft als Kostenrechnung vorgetragen zu werden pflegt, ist der Zusammenhang immer noch ein loser.
Fuzzy set theory, which started not much more than 20 years ago as a generalization of classical set theory, has in the meantime evolved into an area which scientifically, as well as from the point of view of applications, is recognized as a very valuable contribution to the existing knowledge.
