The expected utility hypothesis is the hypothesis in economics that the utility of an agent facing uncertainty is calculated by considering utility in each possible state and constructing a weighted average. The weights are the agent’s estimate of the probability of each state. The expected utility is thus an expectation in terms of probability theory. To determine utility according to this method, the decision maker must rank their preferences according to the outcomes of various decision options. According to the theory, if someone prefers A to B and B to C, then weights for the weighted average must exist such that she is indifferent between receiving B outright and gambling– with the specified weights– between A and C.

Daniel Bernoulli (1738) gave the earliest known written statement of this hypothesis as a way to resolve the St. Petersburg Paradox. In the expected utility theorem, v. Neumann and Morgenstern proved that any “normal” preference relation over a finite set of states can be written as an expected utility. (Therefore, it is also called von-Neumann Morgenstern utility.) Von Neumann and Morgenstern published this in their Theory of Games and Economic Behavior in 1944. It is important because it was developed shortly after the Hicks-Allen “ordinal revolution” of the 1930’s, and it revived the idea of cardinal utility in economic theory. Economics has not resolved whether (and in what cases) utility is cardinal or ordinal.

A related concept is the certainty equivalent of a gamble. The more risk-averse a person is, the more he will be prepared to pay to eliminate risk, for example accepting $1 instead of a 50% chance of $3, even though the expected value of the latter is more. People may be risk-averse or risk-loving depending on the amounts involved and on whether the gamble relates to becoming better off or worse off; this is a possible explanation for why the same person may buy both an insurance policy and a lottery ticket. However, expected utility as a descriptive model of decisions under risk has in recent years been replaced by more sophisticated variants that take irrational deviations from the expected utility model into account; compare Prospect theory and the general article on Behavioral finance.

The concept of risk-aversion comes into play in many gambling scenarios, such as poker strategy. A risk-neutral stance is generally the best strategy under normal conditions, as it attempts to maximize the expected value of each bet. However, there are situations where different strategies will be more beneficial. For example, many experts advocate a risk-averse strategy in the early stages of a poker tournament, when there are still many players left. As the tournament advances, a more risk-neutral or even risk-loving strategy becomes the more optimal play, especially as more players are eliminated. This change in strategy is due to the difference between expected value and expected utility. See M-ratio for more information on this concept as it relates to poker theory.

Preference Reversals over Uncertain Outcomes:
Starting with studies such as Lichtenstein & Slovic (1971), it was discovered that subjects sometimes exhibit signs of preference reversals with regards to their certainty equivalents of different lotteries. Specifically, when eliciting certainty equivalents, subjects tend to value “p bets” (lotteries with a high chance of winning a low prize) lower than “$ bets” (lotteries with a small chance of winning a large prize). When subjects are asked which lotteries they prefer in direct comparison, however, they frequently prefer the “p bets” over “$ bets.” Many studies have examined this “preference reversal,” from both an experimental (e.g., Plott & Grether, 1979) and theoretical (e.g., Holt, 1986) standpoint, indicating that this behavior can be brought into accordance with neoclassical economic theory under certain assumptions.

Avalonianus was first believed to be a dinosaur. It was first described in 1898 by Seeley from teeth from the Late Triassic of England, but the name was preoccupied (Walcott, 1889), so Kuhn renamed it in 1961. It was thought to be a prosauropod, as additional, prosauropod postcranial remains were added to it (which would eventually be named Camelotia). Later analysis revealed it was actually a chimera of prosauropod remains (Camelotia) and teeth from a non-dinosaurian archosaur (or possibly an early theropod).

In mathematics a pairing function is a process to uniquely encode two natural numbers into a single natural number.

Any pairing function can be used in set theory to prove that integers and rational numbers have the same cardinality as natural numbers. In theoretical computer science they are used to encode a function defined on a vector of natural numbers f:N^k → N into a new function g:N → N.

Every pairing function is primitive recursive.

Definition

A pairing function is a bijective function

<math>\pi:\mathbb{N} \times \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N}.</math>

Cantor pairing function

The Cantor pairing function is a pairing function

<math>\pi:\mathbb{N} \times \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N}</math>

defined by

<math>\pi(k_1,k_2) := \frac{1}{2}(k_1 + k_2)(k_1 + k_2 + 1)+k_2.</math>

When we apply the pairing function to <math>k_1</math> and <math>k_2</math> we often denote the resulting number as <math>\langle k_1, k_2 \rangle</math>

This definition can be inductively generalized to the Cantor tuple function

<math>\pi^{(n)}:\mathbb{N}^n \to \mathbb{N}</math>

as

<math>\pi^{(n)}(k_1, \ldots, k_{n-1}, k_n) := \pi ( \pi^{(n-1)}(k_1, \ldots, k_{n-1}) , k_n)</math>

Inverting the Cantor pairing function

Suppose we are given z with

<math> z = \langle x, y \rangle = \frac{(x + y)(x + y + 1)}{2} + y </math>

and we want to find x and y. It is helpful to define some intermediate values in the calculation:

<math> w = x + y \!</math>

<math> t = \frac{w(w + 1)}{2} = \frac{w^2 + w}{2} </math>

<math> z = t + y \!</math>

where t is the triangle number of w. If we solve the quadratic equation

<math> w^2 + w - 2t = 0 \!</math>

for w as a function of t, we get

<math> w = \frac{\sqrt{8t + 1} - 1}{2} </math>

which is a strictly increasing and continuous function when t is non-negative real. Since

<math> t \leq z = t + y < t + (w + 1) = \frac{(w + 1)^2 + (w + 1)}{2} </math>

we get that

<math> w \leq \frac{\sqrt{8z + 1} - 1}{2} < w + 1 </math>

and thus

<math> w = \left\lfloor \frac{\sqrt{8z + 1} - 1}{2} \right\rfloor </math>.

So to calculate x and y from z, we do:

<math> w = \left\lfloor \frac{\sqrt{8z + 1} - 1}{2} \right\rfloor </math>

<math> t = \frac{w^2 + w}{2} </math>

<math> y = z - t \!</math>

<math> x = w - y \!</math>.

Since the Cantor pairing function is invertible, it must be one-to-one and onto.

Strength reduction is a compiler optimization where a function of some systematically changing variable is calculated more efficiently by using previous values of the function. In a procedural programming language this would apply to an expression involving a loop variable and in a declarative language it would apply to the argument of a recursive function. E.g.

f x = … (2**x) … (f (x+1)) …

becomes

f x = f’ x (2**x)

where

f ‘ x z = … z … (f’ (x+1) 2*z) …

Here the expensive operation (2**x) has been replaced by the cheaper 2*z in the recursive function f’. This maintains the invariant that z = 2**x for any call to f’.

In computational complexity theory, the complexity class FP is the set of function problems which can be solved by a deterministic Turing machine in polynomial time; it is the function problem version of the decision problem class P. Roughly speaking, it is the class of functions that can be efficiently computed on classical computers without randomization.

FP is formally defined as:

A binary relation P(x,y) is in FP if and only if there is a deterministic polynomial time algorithm that, given x, can find some y such that P(x,y) holds.

The difference between FP and P is that problems in P have one-bit, yes/no answers, while problems in FP can have any output that can be computed in polynomial time. For example, adding two numbers is an FP problem, while determining if their sum is odd is in P. More complex is the relationship between FP and FNP. FNP is defined as follows:

A binary relation P(x,y), where y is at most polynomially longer than x, is in FNP if and only if there is a deterministic polynomial time algorithm that can determine whether P(x,y) holds given both x and y.

That is, instead of merely verifying y, the algorithm for solving an FP problem must find its value. This is similar to the computation/verification relationship between P and NP; it also shows that FP is contained in FNP. In fact, FP = FNP if and only if P = NP.

Polynomial-time function problems are fundamental in defining polynomial-time reductions, which are used in turn to define the class of NP-complete problems.

Because a machine that uses logarithmic space has at most polynomially many configurations, FL, the set of function problems which can be calculated in logspace, is contained in FP. It is not known whether FL = FP; this is analogous to the problem of determining whether the decision classes P and L are equal.

Firms that pursue a Global Strategy are faced with great pressures from cost reductions but with weak pressure for local responsiveness.

Therefore, it allows these firms to sell a standardized product worldwide. However, fixed costs (capital equipment) are substantial. Nevertheless, these firms are able to take advantage of scale economies & experience curve effects, because it is able to mass-produce a standard product which can be exported (providing that demand is greater than the costs involved).

The Atkinson index (also known as the Atkinson measure) is a measure of economic income inequality developed by Anthony Barnes Atkinson. The distinguishing feature of the Atkinson index is its ability to gauge movements in different segments of the income distribution.

The index can be turned into a normative measure by imposing a coefficient <math>\varepsilon</math> to weight incomes. Greater weight can be placed on changes in a given portion of the income distribution by choosing <math>\varepsilon</math>, the level of “inequality aversion”, appropriately. The Atkinson index becomes more sensitive to changes at the lower end of the income distribution as <math>\varepsilon</math> approaches 1. Conversely, as the level of inequality aversion falls (that is, as <math>\varepsilon</math> approaches 0) the Atkinson becomes more sensitive to changes in the upper end of the income distribution.

The Atkinson index is defined as:

<math>A=

\begin{cases}
1-\frac{1}{\mu}\left(\frac{1}{N}\sum_{i=1}^{N}y_{i}^{1-\varepsilon}\right)^{1/(1-\varepsilon)}
& \mbox{for}\ \varepsilon \in \left[0,1\right) \\
1-\frac{1}{\mu}\left(\prod_{i=1}^{N}y_{i}\right)^{1/N}
& \mbox{for}\ \varepsilon=1,
\end{cases}
</math>

where <math>y_{i}</math> is individual income (i = 1, 2, …, N) and <math>\mu</math> is the mean income.

An entropy measure from Atkinson can be computed from the Theil index, T, (example without using <math>\varepsilon</math>)

<math>A = 1 - e^{-T}.\,</math>

Deferred compensation is an arrangement in which a portion of an employee’s income is paid out at a date after which that income is actually earned. Examples of deferred compensation include pensions, retirement plans, and stock options. The primary benefit of most deferred compensation is the deferral of tax to the date(s) at which the employee actually receives the income.

USA

In the US, Section 409A now imposes fairly detailed requirements on the timing of deferral elections and of distributions with the cudgel of imposing additional tax on the taxpayer prior to actual receipt of the deferred income if these requirements are not complied with.

The overall length of an ammunition cartridge is a measurement from the base of the brass shell casing to the tip of the bullet, seated into the brass casing.

Handloaded cartridges and commercially available cartridges for firearms are normally created with a maximum length standardized by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute (SAAMI). A cartridge’s overall length may be shorter than the maximum standard, equal to the standard, or sometimes even longer.

The maximum overall length is dictated by the need to fit into a box magazine of standard manufacture. For example, the .223 Remington cartridge, when loaded for use in the AR-15 rifle (or the military’s M-16 rifle), has to fit into the removable box magazine for that rifle. This dictates that the cartridge’s maximum overall length be no greater than 2.260″. However, for competition purposes during off-hand and slow fire prone match stages, the .223 Remington is loaded one cartridge at a time into the rifle’s receiver. This allows for the cartridge to be longer than the standardized 2.260″ SAAMI maximum overall length. These cartridges can be safely loaded to a length that has the ogive portion of the bullet just touching the rifle’s lands. Many competitive shooters will make these cartridges 0.005″ less than the truly maximum allowable overall length, for the sake of safety.

It is desirable for these single-loaded cartridges to have as little bullet jump as possible before the bullet’s ogive begins to be engraved by the rifle’s lands. This minimized bullet jump increases the accuracy of the rifle, all else being equal. This practice of long-loading a cartridge must be adjusted for each individual rifle, since there are variations from rifle to rifle as to how far down the barrel the rifling begins.

This article refers to a kind of firewood; for other uses, see Faggot

A faggot or fagot is a bundle of sticks or branches, usually meant for use as firewood.
It derives [1] through the Old French fagot and the Italian diminutive fagotto from the Latin Fasces (”bundle”, also the origin of the word Fascism), coming into Middle English no later than 1279.
It has also been used on occasion to refer more specifically (attested from 1555 in English) to wood for funeral pyres or a burning at the stake, and recanting heretics had to wear an embroidered figure of a faggot on their sleeve.

When a faggot is wrapped in only one band or withe, instead of the traditional two, it is also referred to as a bavin.

Use in popular culture

Sylvia Plath starts her poem “Wuthering Heights” with the line “The horizons ring me like faggots”, likening herself to someone being burnt at a stake, adding that if they are “[t]ouched by a match, they might warm me.”

In The Simpsons episode “The Haw-Hawed Couple”, while discussing a plan to unite against Nelson Muntz, Martin Prince states: “individually we are weak, like a single twig. But as a bundle we form a mighty faggot”. A dictionary definition of the word then appears on screen to clear up the audience intended confusion with the epithet faggot.

The word for bassoon is das Fagott in German, fagót in Spanish, and il fagotto in Italian.

Distillers dried grains is a cereal byproduct of the distillation process. There are two main sources of these grains. The traditional sources were from brewers. More recently, ethanol plants are a growing source. It is created in distilleries by drying mash, and is subsequently sold for a variety of purposes, usually as fodder for livestock (especially ruminants).

In beer or whiskey production, or in an ethanol plant, grains such as corn are ground to a coarse consistency and added to hot water. After cooling, yeast is added and the mixture ferments for several days to a week. The solids remaining after fermentation are the distillers grains.

In special relativity, the transverse Doppler effect is the nominal redshift component associated with transverse (i.e. lateral) observation, and is important both theoretically and experimentally.

Overview

If the predictions of special relativity are compared to those of a simple flat nonrelativistic light medium that is stationary in the observer’s frame (“classical theory”), SR’s physical predictions of what an observer sees are always “redder”, by the Lorentz factor

<math>\gamma = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-v^2/c^2\,}}.</math>

The transverse Doppler effect is a direct consequence of the relativistic Doppler effect

<math>f_o = \frac{f_s}{\gamma\left(1+\frac{v\cos\theta_o}{c}\right)}</math>

In the particular case when <math>\cos\theta_o=0 \,</math> one obtains the transverse Doppler effect

<math>f_o=\frac {f_s} {\gamma} \,</math>

For receding or approaching objects, the redshift factor <math> \frac{1}{\gamma}</math> modifies the redshift or blueshift predictions of “classical theory”. Where the two effects act against each other, the propagation-based effects are stronger. But for the case of an object passing directly across the observer’s line of sight, special relativity’s predictions are qualitatively different to “classical theory” – a redshift where the “classical theory” reference model would have predicted no shift effect at all for the case that the observer is at rest in the aether.

Because of this, the transverse Doppler effect is sometimes held up as one of the main new predictions of the special theory. As Einstein put it in 1907: according to special relativity the moving object’s emitted frequency is reduced by the Lorentz factor, so that - in addition to the classical Doppler effect - the received frequency is reduced by the same factor.

Reciprocity

Sometimes the question arises as to how the transverse Doppler effect can lead to a redshift as seen by the “observer” whilst another observer moving with the emitter would also see a redshift of light sent (perhaps accidentally) from the receiver.

It is essential to understand that the concept “transverse” is not reciprocal.
Each participant understands that when the light reaches her/him transversely as measured in terms of that person’s rest frame, the other had emitted the light aftward as measured in the other person’s rest frame. In addition, each participant measures the other’s frequency as reduced (”time dilation”). These effects combined make the observations fully reciprocal, thus obeying the principle of relativity.

Experimental verification

In practice, experimental verification of the transverse effect usually involves looking at the longitudinal changes in frequency or wavelength due to motion for approach and recession: by comparing these two ratios together we can rule out the relationships of “classical theory” and prove that the real relationships are “redder” than those predictions.

longitudinal tests

The first of these experiments was carried out by Ives and Stilwell in (1938) and although the accuracy of this experiment has since been questioned, many other longitudinal tests have been performed since with much higher precision [1],[2]. These usually claim greater certainty than Ives-Stilwell, but also tend to be more complicated.

J. Opt. Soc. Am 28 215-226 (1938) and part II. J. Opt. Soc. Am. 31, 369-374 (1941)

Transverse Tests

To date, only one inertial experiment seems to have verified the redshift effect for a detector actually aimed at 90 degrees to the object.

The most common form of a POI is a paper card provided by the insurance company listing policy information and effective dates.
