The Herfindahl neutral point: A firm‐level threshold for managing market concentration with evidence from US hog packing

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper derives a firm‐level threshold, the Herfindahl Neutral Point, from the standard concentration index used in merger review. At this threshold, a marginal expansion leaves the index unchanged. Firms below the threshold reduce concentration when they expand; firms above it increase concentration.

Algebraic Cycles And The Classical Groups -- Part I, Real Cycles

open access: yes, 2008
The groups of algebraic cycles on complex projective space P(V ) are known to have beautiful and surprising properties. Therefore, when V carries a real structure, it is natural to ask for the properties of the groups of real algebraic cycles on P(V )

Algebraic limit cycles on quadratic polynomial differential systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Algebraic limit cycles in quadratic polynomial differential systems started to be studied in 1958, and few years later the following conjecture appeared: Quadratic polynomial differential systems have at most one algebraic limit cycle.

Squeezed‐Vacuum Bosonic Codes

open access: yesAdvanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We introduce a family of bosonic quantum error‐correcting codes built as a rotation‐symmetric superposition of squeezed vacuum states, which promise protection against both loss and dephasing noise channels. The robustness of these “squeezed‐vacuum codes” arises from being arranged at evenly spaced angles in phase‐space, and simultaneously in ...

Risk‐aware safe reinforcement learning for control of stochastic linear systems

open access: yesAsian Journal of Control, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper presents a risk‐aware safe reinforcement learning (RL) control design for stochastic discrete‐time linear systems. Rather than using a safety certifier to myopically intervene with the RL controller, a risk‐informed safe controller is also learned besides the RL controller, and the RL and safe controllers are combined together ...

Algebraic limit cycles bifurcating from algebraic ovals of quadratic centers

open access: yes, 2021
In the integrability of polynomial differential systems it is well known that the invariant algebraic curves play a relevant role. Here we will see that they can also play an important role with respect to limit cycles.

Algebraic cycles and fibrations

open access: yesDocumenta Mathematica, 2013
Let f:X \rightarrow B be a projective surjective morphism between quasi-projective varieties. The goal of this paper is the study of the Chow groups of X in terms of

Performance improvement of discrete‐time linear‐quadratic regulators applied to uncertain linear systems using the Tikhonov regularization method

open access: yesAsian Journal of Control, EarlyView.
Abstract The linear‐quadratic regulator (LQR) problem of optimal control of an uncertain discrete‐time linear system (DTLS) is revisited in this paper from the perspective of Tikhonov regularization. We show that an optimally chosen regularization parameter reduces, compared to the classical LQR, the values of a scalar error function, as well as the ...

Young people's occupational aspirations beyond the aspiration discourse: A sociocultural perspective

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Young people's aspirations have been the focus of many educational, sociological and psychological studies. This paper argues, firstly, that the concept of aspirations holds greater generative potential than suggested by the policy‐oriented ‘aspiration discourse’.

Who Knows Best What the Next Year Will Hold for You? The Validity of Direct and Personality‐based Predictions of Future Life Experiences Across Different Perceivers

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Personality, EarlyView., 2020
Abstract This study explored the validity of person judgements by targets and their acquaintances (‘informants’) in longitudinally predicting a broad range of psychologically meaningful life experiences. Judgements were gathered from four sources (targets, N = 189; and three types of informants, N = 1352), and their relative predictive validity was ...
