In this paper we recall inverse problems for iterated function systems and how these problems can be reduced to optimizations problems. We extend these results to IFS operators with dependent probabilities.

The term CRM, Customer Relationship Management, is one of the most applied concept both in Marketing and IT literature and applications. CRM is most of the time used as a replacement of a misleading narrow term: Relationship Management (RM). Operations, Customer Service, Sales, human resources,...

Necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for nonsmooth multiobjective optimization problems and characterizations of convex vector funtions are proved by means of mollified derivatives

In the optimal design theory, the T-optimality criterion is useful for the discrimination between two competitive models. This criterion has an interesting statistical interpretation as the power of a test for the fit of a second model when the first one is true. Usually there is not a closed...

The paper explores the role of workers' expectations as an original explanation for the puzzling long run persistence of observed discrimination against some minorities in the labor market. A game of incomplete information is presented, showing that ex ante identical groups of workers may be...

In the movie industry habit, the demand of exploitation windows next to theatres is usually related to the success in cinemas, which is assumed to orient subsequent consumption among audience.Using a data base made of 1035 movies broadcast in peak time by the six main Italian networks during the...

The paper is organised as follows. In section 2 we review existing empirical evidence over the lower educational attainment in Italy when compared to other major European countries. Our country is also characterised by low intergenerational mobility, even if recent cohorts face an improved...
