AbstractGoodwin’s celebrated growth cycle model has been widely studied since its introduction in 1967. In recent years several contributions have appeared with the aim of amending the original model so as to improve its economic coherence and enrich its structure. In this article we propose a new and generalized approach, within the theory of planar Hamiltonian systems, for the modeling of Goodwin-type cycles. This new approach, which includes and improves various attempts by the recent literature, is very general and fulfills the essential requirement that the orbits lie entirely in the economically feasible interval. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for all solutions to be cycles lying entirely in the unit box. In addition, we study the period length of the cycles near the equilibrium and close to the boundary of the domain. Finally, we discuss an example of how small perturbations of the model may affect the qualitative behavior of the solutions.

In the last two decades, there has been a great deal of interest in providing an intentional criterion of the psychological. Of the various ones proferred, it seems to me that the best was the earliest, which was Chisholm’s initial criterion in his 1955 essay “Sentences about Believing.” In this present paper I first single out a basic misconception pervading the recent literature on intentionality and suggest that a consequence of this misconception has been the futile attempt to use the notion of intentionality to provide a kind of definition of “mind”; that is, to use intentionality to provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the psychological. Secondly, I point out how intentionality as captured by my own criterion is indispensable in that it is an essential property of certain particulars (persons) which are basic to our conceptual scheme and apparently basic to any conceptual scheme whatsoever.

AbstractConsider the delay differential equationwhere α(t) and β(t) are positive, periodic, and continuous functions with period w > 0, and m is a nonnegative integer. We show that this equation has a positive periodic solution x*(t) with period w. We also establish a necessary and sufficient condition for every solution of the equation to oscillate about x*(t) and a sufficient condition for x*(t) to be a global attractor of all solutions of the equation.

A theorem of Escobar and Schoen asserts that on a positive three dimensional smooth compact Riemannian manifold which is not conformally equivalent to the standard three dimensional sphere, a necessary and sufficient condition for a C2 function K to be the scalar curvature function of some conformal metric is that K is positive somewhere. We show that for any positive C2 function K, all such metrics stay in a compact set with respect to C3 norms and the total Leray-Schauder degree of all solutions is equal to -1. Such existence and compactness results no longer hold in such generality in higher dimensions or on manifolds conformally equivalent to standard three dimensional spheres. The results are also established for more general Yamabe type equations on three dimensional manifolds.

Abstract In this paper we study the continuity of the embedding operator ℓ : ℋ p (E) ↪ ℋ q (E) when 0 < p < q ⩽ ∞. The necessary and sufficient condition has already been described in [10] if p > 1. In this work, we address the problem when p = 1, using a new approach, but asking some additional hypothesis about the Hermite-Biehler function E. We give also a different proof for the case p > 1.

A proper ideal [Formula: see text] of a commutative ring [Formula: see text] is called lifting whenever idempotents of [Formula: see text] lift to idempotents of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, many of the basic properties of lifting ideals are studied and we prove and extend some well-known results concerning lifting ideals and lifting idempotents by a new approach. Furthermore, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for every proper ideal of a commutative ring to be a product of pairwise comaximal lifting ideals.

Consider the second order neutral differential equation1where the coefficients p and q and the deviating arguments τ and σ are real numbers. The characteristic equation of Eq. (1) is2The main result in this paper is the following necessary and sufficient condition for all solutions of Eq. (1) to oscillate.THEOREM. The following statements are equivalent:(a) Every solution of Eq. (1) oscillates.(b) Equation (2) has no real roots.

Constructing realizations of random media with a specified two-point phase probability function S 2 has attracted considerable attention in the recent literature. However, little is known about conditions under which a prescribed S 2 is realizable. The only known necessary and sufficient condition, due to McMillan, involves a class of square matrices, called corner-positive matrices, about which almost nothing is known except their definition. As a result, McMillan's theorem has gone mostly unused in the literature for over 50 years. In this paper, we present a general decomposition formula for corner-positive matrices, which allows McMillan's theorem to be written in a significantly more tractable and testable form. We also connect McMillan's theorem with many known but heretofore unrelated necessary conditions on S 2 , extending many of these conditions.

In this article, the notion of orthogonal nonseparable four-dimensional wavelet packs, which is the generalization of orthogonal univariate wavelet packs, is introduced. A new approach for constructing them is presented by iteration method and wavelets as well wavelet frames. The biorthogonality properties of four-dimensi- -onal wavelet packets are discussed. Three biorthogonality formulas concerning these wavelet packs are estabished. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of the pyramid decomposition scheme of space is presented.

A new approach, the projective system approach, is proposed to realize modified projective synchronization between two different chaotic systems. By simple analysis of trajectories in the phase space, a projective system of the original chaotic systems is obtained to replace the errors system to judge the occurrence of modified projective synchronization. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations show that, although the projective system may not be unique, modified projective synchronization can be achieved provided that the origin of any of projective systems is asymptotically stable. Furthermore, an example is presented to illustrate that even a necessary and sufficient condition for modified projective synchronization can be derived by using the projective system approach.

In this article, the notion of orthogonal nonseparable five-variant wavelet packages, whi- ch is the generalization of orthogonal univariate wavelet packages, is introduced. A new approach for constructing the wavelet packages is presented by iteration method as well wavelet frames. The orthogonality properties for five-dimensional wavelet packages are discussed. Three orthogonality formulas concerning these wavelet packages are estabished. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of the pyramid decomposition scheme of space is presented.
