In this work, the stability issues of the equilibrium points of multi-delayed cellular neural networks with impulsive effects are investigated. Based on the method of linear matrix inequality (LMI) and parameterized first-order model transformation, several new delay-dependent and...

In this paper, the Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with time delays are considered without assuming any symmetry of connection matrix and differentiability of the activation functions. By constructing a novel Lyapunov functional, new sufficient criteria for the existence of a unique...

This paper takes cognizance of existence of bribery-type corruption in the tax system. The study seeks to analyze the strategic interaction between a tax evader and a corrupt auditor within a given tax situation. An equilibrium bribe rule is derived for the situation where a tax evader comes...

The paper aims at reconstructing the sequence of works through which the fixed-point technique entered the tool-box of modern economics and at establishing a link between this sequence and the neoclassical approach to economic modeling. The focus is on the change in the demonstration techniques...

Reviewing Chongqing’s industrial structure evolution in the history view angle since Chongqing was opened and quantitative analyzing with shift-share analysis and Structure effect index after the Reform and Openness, this paper explores the rise of political status of Chongqing that caused...

We consider an alternative modelling approach to the mainstream DSGE paradigm, namely a Dynamic Stochastic General Disequilibrium (DSGD) baseline model of continuous and gradual adjustment processes on interacting real and financial markets. Heterogeneous capital gain expectations (chartists and...

We identify restrictions on a decision maker's utility function that are both necessary and sufficient to preserve dominance reasoning in each of two versions of the Two-Envelope Paradox (TEP). For the classical TEP, the utility function must satisfy a certain recurrence inequality. For the St....
