Uniformly hyperbolic diffeomorphisms in every surfaces

Autores
Pinto, AA; Rand, DA;

Publicação
JOURNAL OF DIFFERENCE EQUATIONS AND APPLICATIONS

Abstract
We present the construction of new pseudo-smooth structures, near the singularities, such that the pseudo-Anosov maps are diffeomorphisms, in this pseudo-smooth structures, and have the property that the stable and unstable foliations are uniformly contracted and expanded by the pseudo-Anosov dynamics. We construct the C(1+) orthogonal charts of such pseudo-Anosov diffeomoprhisms.

Bayesian-Nash equilibria in theory of planned behaviour

Autores
Almeida, L; Cruz, J; Ferreira, H; Pinto, AA;

Publicação
JOURNAL OF DIFFERENCE EQUATIONS AND APPLICATIONS

Abstract
The theory of planned behaviour studies the decision-making mechanisms of individuals. We propose the Bayesian-Nash equilibria as one, of many, possible mechanisms of transforming human intentions in behaviour. This process corresponds to the best strategic individual decision taking in account the collective response. We show that saturation, boredom and frustration can lead to splitted strategies, in opposition to no saturation that leads to a constant strategy.

Behavioural and dynamical scenarios for contingent claims valuation in incomplete markets

Autores
Boukas, L; Pinheiro, D; Pinto, AA; Xanthopoulos, SZ; Yannacopoulos, AN;

Publicação
JOURNAL OF DIFFERENCE EQUATIONS AND APPLICATIONS

Abstract
We study the problem of determination of asset prices in an incomplete market proposing three different but related scenarios. One scenario uses a market game approach whereas the other two are based on risk sharing or regret minimizing considerations. Dynamical schemes modelling the convergence of the buyer's and of the seller's prices to a unique price are proposed.

Patents in new technologies

Autores
Ferreira, M; Oliveira, BMPM; Pinto, AA;

Publicação
JOURNAL OF DIFFERENCE EQUATIONS AND APPLICATIONS

Abstract
We present a new R&D investment function in a Cournot competition model inspired in the logistic equation. We do a full characterization of the associated game and study the short- and long-term economical effects derived from using this new R&D investment function. In particular, we find the existence of regions with multiple Nash investment equilibria. For low production costs, that can correspond to the production of old technologies, the long-term economical effects are not very sensitive to small changes in the efficiency of the R&D programmes neither to small changes in the market structure. However, for high production costs, that can correspond to the production of new technologies, the long-term economical effects are very sensitive to small changes in the efficiency of the R&D programmes and also to small changes in the market structure.

Train tracks with C1+ self-renormalizable structures

Autores
Pinto, AA; Rand, DA;

Publicação
JOURNAL OF DIFFERENCE EQUATIONS AND APPLICATIONS

Abstract
We prove a one-to-one correspondence between C1+ conjugacy classes of diffeomorphisms with hyperbolic sets contained in surfaces and stable and unstable pairs of one-dimensional C1+ self-renormalizable structures.

Strategic optimization in R&D investment

Autores
Ferreira, M; Figueiredo, IP; Oliveira, BMPM; Pinto, AA;

Publicação
OPTIMIZATION

Abstract
We use d'Aspremont and Jacquemin's strategic optimal R&D investment in a duopoly Cournot competition model to construct myopic optimal discrete and continuous R&D dynamics. We show that for some high initial production costs, the success or failure of a firm is very sensitive to small variations in its initial R&D investment strategies.
