How Can Inflation Contracts Discipline Central Bankers When Agents Are Learning?
ABSTRACT This paper studies, in a new Keynesian model with a positive optimal output gap, how to design linear inflation contracts to shape the central bank's incentive structure when private expectations are based on adaptive learning. In this model, under rational expectations, inflation contracts could only partially deal with the time‐inconsistency

Using a formulation of quantum mechanics based on the theory of orthogonal polynomials, we introduce a four-parameter system associated with the Hahn and continuous Hahn polynomials.

For little q-Jacobi polynomials and q-Hahn polynomials we give particular q-hypergeometric series representations in which the termwise q=0 limit can be taken. When rewritten in matrix form, these series representations can be viewed as LU factorizations.

Plank theorems and their applications: A survey
Abstract Plank problems concern the covering of convex bodies by planks in Euclidean space and are related to famous open problems in convex geometry. In this survey, we introduce plank problems and present surprising applications of plank theorems in various areas of mathematics.

On the spectrum of tridiagonal matrices with two-periodic main diagonal
We find the spectrum and eigenvectors of an arbitrary irreducible complex tridiagonal matrix with two-periodic main diagonal. This is expressed in terms of the spectrum and eigenvectors of the matrix with the same sub- and superdiagonals and zero main ...

$q$-Classical orthogonal polynomials: A general difference calculus approach
It is well known that the classical families of orthogonal polynomials are characterized as eigenfunctions of a second order linear differential/difference operator.

ABSTRACT Introduction Thyroid cancer is one of the most common cancers in adolescents and young adults (AYA, 15 to 39 years), with an excellent 5‐year survival of 98%. However, treatments for thyroid cancer such as radioactive iodine and thyroid hormone suppression may increase the risk for multiple late effects (LEs).

An Introduction to the q-Laguerre-Hahn Orthogonal q-Polynomials
Orthogonal q-polynomials associated with q-Laguerre-Hahn form will be studied as a generalization of the q-semiclassical forms via a suitable q-difference equation. The concept of class and a criterion to determinate it will be given.

The role of orthogonal polynomials in the six-vertex model and its combinatorial applications
The Hankel determinant representations for the partition function and boundary correlation functions of the six-vertex model with domain wall boundary conditions are investigated by the methods of orthogonal polynomial theory.

The Impact of a Buyer's Incentives and Organizational Structure on Suppliers' Quality
ABSTRACT Changes in a buyer organization's incentives and structure can have a significant impact on supply chain performance, such as the quality of sourced components. We examine this relationship using data from a unique quasi‐experiment where one of the two plants of a buyer introduced long‐term quality improvement incentives and a more organic ...
