The Why of the Applicability of Statistical Physics to Economics [PDF]
, 2006 We analyze the relationships between game theory and quantum mechanics and the extensions to statistical physics and information theory. We use certain quantization relationships to assign quantum states to the strategies of a player. These quantum states are contained in a density operator which describes the new quantum system.

Stability in Distribution of Randomly Perturbed Quadratic Maps as Markov Processes
, 2005 Iteration of randomly chosen quadratic maps defines a Markov process: X_{n+1}=\epsilon_{n+1}X_n(1-X_n), where \epsilon_n are i.i.d. with values in the parameter space [0,4] of quadratic maps F_{\theta}(x)=\theta x(1-x). Its study is of significance as an
