A general framework for convexity analysis in deterministic global optimization

Kearfott, Ralph; Castille, Jessie; Tyagi, Gaurav - In: Journal of Global Optimization 56 (2013) 3, pp. 765-785

In previous work, we, and also Epperly and Pistikopoulos, proposed an analysis of general nonlinear programs that identified certain variables as convex, not ever needing subdivision, and non-convex, or possibly needing subdivision in branch and bound algorithms. We proposed a specific...

Non-existence of competitive equilibria with dynamically inconsistent preferences

Gabrieli, Tommaso; Ghosal, Sayantan - In: Economic Theory 52 (2013) 1, pp. 299-313

This paper shows the robust non-existence of competitive equilibria even in a simple three period representative agent economy with dynamically inconsistent preferences. We distinguish between a sophisticated and naive representative agent. Even when underlying preferences are monotone and...

On economic efficiency under non-convexity

Chavas, Jean-Paul; Briec, Walter - In: Economic Theory 50 (2012) 3, pp. 671-701

This paper investigates economic efficiency under non-convexity. The analysis relies on a generalization of the … separating hyperplane theorem under non-convexity. The concept of zero-maximality is used to characterize Pareto efficiency under … non-convexity. We show the existence of a separating hypersurface that can be used to provide a dual characterization of …
