This volume presents five surveys with extensive bibliographies and six original contributions on set optimization and its applications in mathematical finance and game theory. The topics range from more conventional approaches that look for minimal/maximal elements with respect to vector orders or set relations, to the new complete-lattice approach that comprises a coherent solution concept for set optimization problems, along with existence results, duality theorems, optimality conditions, variational inequalities and theoretical foundations for algorithms. Modern approaches to scalarization methods can be found as well as a fundamental contribution to conditional analysis. The theory is tailor-made for financial applications, in particular risk evaluation and [super-]hedging for market models with transaction costs, but it also provides a refreshing new perspective on vector optimization. There is no comparable volume on the market, making the book an invaluable resource for researchers working in vector optimization and multi-criteria decision-making, mathematical finance and economics as well as [set-valued] variational analysis.
?Integrationskonflikte bilden einen Teil alltäglicher Erfahrungswelt von Individuen in heutigenGesellschaften. Diese im japanisch-deutschen Vergleich angesetzte Studie geht daher der Frage nach, wie ihnen Akzeptanz als konstruktiver Umgang mit diesen Konflikten gelingen kann. Sie setzt dazu Interviewaussagen in Beziehung zu Strukturen migrations- und integrationspolitischer Steuerung auf nationaler und kommunaler Ebene. Dabei zeigte sich ein u¨berraschend geringer Einfluss politischer Steuerung. Vielmehr konstruierten die Befragten subjektiv definierte “Vertraute Fremde,” auf die sie ihre Akzeptanz beschränkten. Der subjektive Charakter dieser Exklusivität verweist im Ausblick auf das Potential biografischer Diversität zur Förderung sozialer Inklusion.
Designed as a contribution to contrastive linguistics, the present volume brings up-to-date the comparison of German with its closest neighbour, Dutch, and other Germanic relatives like English, Afrikaans, and the Scandinavian languages. It takes its inspiration from the idea of a "Germanic Sandwich", i.e. the hypothesis that sets of genetically related languages diverge in systematic ways in diverse domains of the linguistic system. Its contributions set out to test this approach against new phenomena or data from synchronic, diachronic and, for the first time in a Sandwich-related volume, psycholinguistic perspectives. With topics ranging from nickname formation to the IPP (aka 'Ersatzinfi...
This book examines the ongoing resurgence of traditional power structures in South Africa. Oomen assesses the relation between the changing legal and socio-political position of traditional authority and customary law and what these changes can teach us about the interrelation between law, politics, and culture in the post-modern world.
Competitiveness and Death examines the increase and reduction of regulatory barriers to trade across three industries: environmental, labor, and safety rules on automobiles, consumer protection regulations on meat, and intellectual property regulations on medicines. The fundamental negotiation in trade and regulatory policymaking occurs between businesses, activists, and government officials. Gary Winslett builds on new trade theories to explain when and why businesses are most likely to lobby governments to reduce these regulatory trade barriers. He argues that businesses prevail when they can connect with broader concerns about national economic competitiveness. He examines how activist...
Ein romantisches Wochenende im Ferienhaus endet für Dr. Döring und seine Lebensgefährtin mit einem Leichenfund im Garten. Entsetzt stellen die beiden fest, dass es sich um die Vorbesitzerin ihres Hauses handelt. Wer sollte so grausam sein, eine nette alte Dame zu ermorden und sie im Garten zu verscharren. Der Pathologe nimmt die Ermittlungen auf und erkennt schnell, dass er wieder einem Serientäter auf der Spur ist. Gemeinsam mit Hauptkommissar Blum versucht er, hinter das Geheimnis des Täters zu kommen. Wie hängen all die Todesfälle zusammen. Die Zeit drängt. Sie müssen das Geheimnis lösen und den Täter zur Strecke bringen.
The book provides an authoritative source of knowledge about these problematic disorders. It bridges the gap between clinical recognition and the new molecular medicine. The editors, distinguished clinicians and geneticists, assembled an internationally renowned group of collaborators, many of them the experts who first described a particular disorder or established its present accepted definition. They have written a practical, comprehensive guide to the recognition, investigation and management of more than 60 recognised phakomatoses.
