In the physical sciences, order and disorder refer to the presence or absence of some symmetry or correlation in a many … disorder-order relationship. In this paper a series of experiments are devised and executed to reveal the power law … relationship between order and disorder, and to determine that the power law is indeed an important regular pattern in the phase …

approach of irreversibility. They allow us to evaluate both the technological level and the environmental impact of the … irreversible thermodynamic approach, in order to evaluate the inefficiency both of the process and of the production systems, and … the related consequences. Three applications are summarized in order to highlight the possible interest from different …

concept of entropy. We use Boltzmann's approach of the degree of order to give an illustration of the entropy concept. We then …

adjustment costs, and irreversibility driven by a wedge between capital purchase and resale prices. We derive sufficient … microdata, and exploit them to discipline the capital price wedge. Irreversibility doubles the persistence of capital …

This article discusses the effects of corporate tax asymmetries under investment irreversibility. We introduce a tax …
