Collusion in a Bertrand duopoly model with decreasing returns and product differentiation

open access: yesEstudios de Economía, 2016
We study cartel stability in a differentiated price-setting duopoly with returns to scale. We show that a cartel may be equally stable in the presence of lower differentiation, provided that the decreasing returns parameter is high.

The reliability and validity of decreased sound tolerance scale-screening

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2022
Decreased Sound Tolerance (DST) is a negative reaction to a sound that does not cause any reaction in an individual with normal hearing. DST's subclasses include hyperacusis, phonophobia, and misophonia, which are distinct and have therapy variations. There is no diagnostic method or scale that distinguishes them in the literature. This study's purpose

Separation axioms in topological preordered spaces and the existence of continuous order-preserving functions

open access: yesApplied General Topology, 2000
We characterize the existence of a real continuous order-preserving function on a topological preordered space, under the hypotheses that the topological space is normal and the preorder satisfies a strong continuity assumption, called IC-continuity ...

Analysis of Wear-Resistant Surface with Pangolin Scale Morphology by DEM Simulation

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Based on the Discrete Element Method (DEM), an abrasive wear system composed of pangolin scale models and abrasive sand was established. The wear morphology of pangolin scale models under different velocities were simulated by PFC2D®.

Liquidity management with decreasing returns to scale and secured credit line [PDF]

open access: yesFinance and Stochastics, 2016
This paper examines the dividend and investment policies of a cash constrained firm that has access to costly external funding. We depart from the literature by allowing the firm to issue collateralized debt to increase its investment in productive assets resulting in a performance sensitive interest rate on debt.

Beam Quality Factor of Partially Coherent Airy Beam in Non-Kolmogorov Turbulence

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2022
A universal formula of the beam quality factor for a partially coherent Airy (PCA) beam in non-Kolmogorov turbulence has been investigated. Results of numerical simulation display that expanding the internal scales of non-Kolmogorov turbulence is good ...
