Recall from our abstract study of choice that the choices of the agent represented by in a budget set B(p, w) ∈ B W are given by: C (p, w) ≡ {x ∈ B(p, w) : for each y ∈ B(p, w), x y}. 1.2 Utility maximization Suppose that preference is represented...

...Educational Standards A. G. Com/172 Educational Standards Education is a vital good, like fresh food or medical treatment, and this has been proven since the 1800s. Although it is a responsibility of the individual States, the United States (U.S.) Government assumes the responsibility of deciding what constitutes “education” for school-age children in America (American History Journal, 2010). The American Government holds the sentiment that change to public schools’ curriculum is critical to advancement. This paper will discuss whether or not raising the U.S. Educational standard will give American students an advantage professionally. The History of the United States Education Department The American Educational Department was created in 1867 to gather information on schools and teaching. This information was used to help the United States produce effective schools. For over 130 years the department of education continues to provide information on what works in education to teachers and policy makers. In 1946, The United States Department of Education (ED) began vocational training in high schools. These training programs consisted of agriculture, industrial arts, and home economics, and were focused on better preparing students for future careers. In 1957, the U.S. voiced concerns...

Liu a , N. Trotignon b,∗ a Université Grenoble 1, Joseph Fourier, France b CNRS, LIAFA, Université Paris 7, Paris Diderot, France article info Article history: Received 10 July 2009 Received in revised form 28 May 2010 Accepted 3 June 2010 Available online 1 July 2010 Keywords: Tree Algorithm Three-in-a-tree k-in-a-tree Girth Induced subgraph abstract For all integers k ≥ 3, we give an O(n4 )-time algorithm for the problem whose instance is a graph G of girth at least k together with k vertices and whose question is ‘‘Does G contains an induced subgraph containing the k vertices and isomorphic to a tree?’’. This directly follows for k = 3 from the three-in-a-tree algorithm of Chudnovsky and Seymour and for k = 4 from a result of Derhy, Picouleau and Trotignon. Here we solve the problem for k ≥ 5. Our algorithm relies on a structural description of graphs of girth at least k that do not contain an induced tree covering k given vertices (k ≥ 5). © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. 1. Introduction Many interesting classes of graphs are defined by forbidding induced subgraphs; see [1] for a survey. This is why the detection of several kinds of induced subgraph is interesting; see [5], where many such...

...A LINEAR-TIME ALGORITHM FOR EVALUATING SERIES OF SCHUR FUNCTIONS CY CHAN, VESSELIN DRENSKY, ALAN EDELMAN, AND PLAMEN KOEV Abstract. We present a new algorithm for computing all Schur functions sλ(x1, x2, . . . , xn) for all partitions λ of integers not exceeding N in time O(n2K ), where K ≡ #{λ| |λ| ≤ N} N N is the number of those partitions. In particular, this algorithm has optimal complexity for evaluating truncated series of Schur functions such as the hypergeometric function of a matrix argument. 1. Introduction We present a new highly efficient algorithm for computing the finite truncation (for k ≤ N) of the hypergeometric function of a matrix argument X in the complex case: X XN 1 (a1)κ · · · (ap)κ (1) pFq(a , . . . , a1 p; b , . . . , b1 q; X) ≡ · · sκ(x , x , . . . , x1 2 n), Hκ (b1)κ · · · (bq)κ k=0 κ`k where Y (2) (a)κ ≡ (a − i + j) (i,j)∈κ ...

...logistic model in the late previous century is reminded. We conclude by referring to some generalizations of the logistic model, which were used to describe growth and diffusion processes in the context of technological innovation, and for which the author studied the chaotic behaviour by means of a series of computer experiments, performed in the eighties of last century by means of the then emerging “micro-computer” technology. 1 P.-F. Verhulst and the Royal Military Academy in Brussels In the year 1844, at the age of 40, when Pierre-Fran¸ois Verhulst on November c 30 presented his contribution to the “M´moires de l’Acad´mie” of the young e e Belgian nation, a paper which was published the next year in “tome XVIII” with the title: “Recherches math´matiques sur la loi d’accroissement de la e population” (mathematical investigations of the law of population growth), he did certainly not know that his work would be the starting point for further research by Raymond Pearl and Lowell J. Reed [10, 11], by the famous A.-J. Lotka [8] and independently by Volterra [16] and later by V.A. Kostitzin [5], in the fields of mathematical biology, biometry, and demography.
