The Goodwin cycle improved with generalized wages: phase portrait, periodic behaviour

TL;DR: In this paper, it is proved that the Phillips curve f (v) is such that all its not-constant solutions shall be periodic, and an asymptotic (low-energy) expression of the period/energy function is computed, establishing a sufficient condition for its monotonicity.

Complexity in a Bertrand Duopoly Game with Heterogeneous Players and Differentiated Goods

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the dynamics of a nonlinear discrete-time Bertrand duopoly game with differentiated goods and show that the model gives more complex chaotic and unpredictable trajectories as a consequence of change in the parameter of horizontal product differentiation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a survey of views to automate the problem of instantiate MVS problems in a data warehouse, based on a simulation model and an analysis of a data warhorse.

Hierarchy of piecewise non-linear maps with non-ergodic behaviour

TL;DR: In this article, the dynamics of a hierarchy of piecewise chaotic maps generated by a one-parameter family of trigonometric chaotic maps and a one parameter family of elliptic chaotic maps of the cn and sn type are studied.

On testing for nonlinear dependence and chaos in financial time series data

TL;DR: Two examples of high frequency financial time series data analysis are provided in order to investigate the characteristics of the data generating processes involved and to illustrate the difficulties encountered in numerical analyses.
