Stochastic Monotonicity and Realizable Monotonicity [PDF]
The Annals of Probability, 2001 We explore and relate two notions of monotonicity, stochastic and realizable, for a system of probability measures on a common finite partially ordered set (poset) S when the measures are indexed by another poset A. We give counterexamples to show that the two notions are not always equivalent, but for various large classes of S we also present ...

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2017 This paper defines and analyzes a new monotonicity condition for the identification of counterfactuals and treatment effects in unordered discrete choice models with multiple treatments, heterogenous agents and discrete-valued instruments. Unordered monotonicity implies and is implied by additive separability of choice of treatment equations in terms ...

Theoretical Economics, 2022 We develop a framework for deriving dynamic monotonicity results in long‐term stochastic contracting problems with symmetric information. Specifically, we construct a notion of concave separable activity that encompasses many prevalent contractual components (e.g., wage, effort, level of production, etc.). We then provide a tight condition

HcLSH: A Novel Non-Linear Monotonic Activation Function for Deep Learning Methods
IEEE Access, 2023 Activation functions are essential components in any neural network model; they play a crucial role in determining the network’s expressive power through their introduced non-linearity.

Quantifiers in Natural Language: Efficient Communication and Degrees of Semantic Universals
Entropy, 2021 While the languages of the world vary greatly, they exhibit systematic patterns, as well. Semantic universals are restrictions on the variation in meaning exhibit cross-linguistically (e.g., that, in all languages, expressions of a certain type can only ...

Monotone Confounding, Monotone Treatment Selection and Monotone Treatment Response [PDF]
Journal of Causal Inference, 2014 AbstractManski (Monotone treatment response. Econometrica 1997;65:1311–34) and Manski and Pepper (Monotone instrumental variables: with an application to the returns to schooling. Econometrica 2000;68:997–1010) gave sharp bounds on causal effects under the assumptions of monotone treatment response (MTR) and monotone treatment selection (MTS ...

Strong Stability Preserving Multistage Integration Methods
Mathematical Modelling and Analysis, 2015 In this paper we systematically investigate explicit strong stability preserving (SSP) multistage integration methods, a subclass of general linear methods (GLMs), of order p and stage order q ≤ p.

Journal of Differential Equations, 1979 This is a study of systems which possess several steady states and whose solutions approach the set of the steady states as time tends to infinity. One is especially interested in the property of mutability, which implies the ability of the system to execute transitions from one steady state to another.

Generalized Nonlinear Variational Inclusions Involving (A,η)-Monotone Mappings in Hilbert Spaces
Fixed Point Theory and Applications, 2008 A new class of generalized nonlinear variational inclusions involving (A,η)-monotone mappings in the framework of Hilbert spaces is introduced and then based on the generalized resolvent operator technique associated with (A,η)-monotonicity, the ...

Subelliptic equations with singular nonlinearities on the Heisenberg group
Boundary Value Problems, 2018 In this paper, we consider the Dirichlet boundary value problem to singular semilinear subelliptic equation on the Heisenberg group − Δ H u = 1 u γ + f ( u ) , γ > 0 . $$-\Delta_{\mathbb{H}}u=\frac{1}{u^{\gamma}}+f(u), \quad \gamma>0.
