Relatively Robust Multicriteria Decisions

For a general multicriteria decision problem with linear scalarization and unknown weights, we propose relatively robust decisions, which are Pareto-efficient and at the same time maximize a performance index. The latter measures the worst-case ratio, atta ...

The first Grushin eigenvalue on cartesian product domains

Joachim Stubbe, Luigi Provenzano

In this paper, we consider the first eigenvalue.1(O) of the Grushin operator.G :=.x1 + |x1|2s.x2 with Dirichlet boundary conditions on a bounded domain O of Rd = R d1+ d2. We prove that.1(O) admits a unique minimizer in the class of domains with prescribed ...

High order geometric methods with splines: fast solution with explicit time-stepping for Maxwell equations

Rafael Vazquez Hernandez, Bernard Kapidani

We introduce a high-order spline geometric approach for the initial boundary value problem for Maxwell's equations. The method is geometric in the sense that it discretizes in structure preserving fashion the two de Rham sequences of differential forms inv ...

Online appendix to: Debt dynamics with fixed issuance costs

Julien Hugonnier

We investigate equilibrium debt dynamics for a firm that cannot commit to a future debt policy and is subject to a fixed restructuring cost. We formally characterize equilibria when the firm is not required to repurchase outstanding debt prior to issuing a ...
