The asymptotical properties of a special dynamic two-person game are examined under best-response dynamics in both discrete and continuos time scales. The direction of strategy changes by the players depend on the best responses to the strategies of the competitors and on their own strategies....

The statutory patent length is 20 years in most countries. R&D-based endogenous growth models, however, often presume an infinite patent length. In this paper, finite-length patents are embedded in a non-scale R&D-based growth model, but any patent’s effective life may be terminated...

This paper proposes conditions for the existence and uniqueness of solutions to systems of linear differential or algebraic equations with delays or advances, in which some variables may be non predetermined. The obtained conditions represent the counterpart of the Blanchard and Kahn conditions...

In this paper a three-dimensional environmental defensive expenditures model with delay is considered. The model is based on the interactions among visitors V, quality of ecosystem goods E, and capital K, intended as accommodation and entertainment facilities, in Protected Areas (PAs). The...

A family of economic and demographic models governed by linear delay differential equations is considered. They can be expressed as optimal control problems subject to delay differential equations (DDEs) characterized by some non-trivial mathematical difficulties: state/control constraints and...

The subject of the present paper is a simplified model for a symmetric bistable system with memory or delay, the reference model, which in the presence of noise exhibits a phenomenon similar to what is known as stochastic resonance. The reference model is given by a one dimensional parametrized...

The paper investigates the impact of delayed tax revenues on the fiscal policy out-comes. Choosing the delay as a bifurcation parameter we study the direction and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions. We show when the system is stable with respect to the delay. Some numerical...

The geometric Brownian motion is the solution of a linear stochastic differential equation in the Itô-sense. If one adds to the drift term a possible nonlinear time delayed term and starts with a nonnegative initial process then the process generated in this way, may hit zero and may oscillate...
