Food Policy, 1982
Abstract An important aspect of the milk and dairy industry in the European Community is the reaction of milk producers to milk prices.

Ergodic Theory and Diffusion Theory
1965These theories constitute fascinating fields of application of the analytical theory of semi-groups. Mathematically speaking, the ergodic theory is concerned with the “time average” \(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{t \uparrow \infty } {t^{ - 1}}\int\limits_0^t {{T_s}} ds\) of a semigroup T t , and the diffusion theory is concerned with the investigation of a ...
