1.1. Aufbau der Arbeit Auf die Begriffsdefinition in Kapitel eins folgt eine Darstellung der Grunde, die die Entstehung dieses neuen Marktsegmentes erforderlich machten. Vor allem die Internationalisierung des Wertpapiergeschaftes und der stark ausgeweitete Ter- minhandel sind als Wegbereiter zu nennen. Danach werden die wirtschaftlichen Anwendungsmoeglichkeiten aus der Sicht des Verleihers und des Entleihers eroertert. Fur den Verleiher stellt die Nutzung der Wertpapierleihe, unter Beachtung der notwendigen Sorgfalt, eine weitgehend risi- kolose Moeglichkeit dar, die Portfoliorendite zu erhoehen. Der Entleiher wird die erhaltenen Wertpapiere in den meisten Fallen verkaufen, sei es zur Belieferung von Kontrahenten oder aus anderen Grunden. In Kapitel vier wird die Modellstruktur der Wertpapierleihe unter rechtlichen Ge- sichtspunkten beleuchtet. Die Ausgestaltung der Vertragsbeziehungen kann dabei entweder eine Eigenhandel- (Principal-Modell) oder eine Kommissionsstruktur (Agent-Modell) vorsehen. Letztere ist vor allem bei der institutionalisierten Wertpapierleihe ublich. AEhnlich wie bei anderen Finanzinnovationen ist die Frage der buchhalterischen und bilanziellen Behandlung noch nicht erschoepfend geklart. UEber die wichtigsten Richtlinien und den Stand der gegenwartigen Betrachtungsweise gibt Kapitel funf Auskunft. In Kapitel sechs kommen steuerliche Aspekte zur Sprache. Da die Einkunfte aus Wertpapierdarlehen keine Einkunfte aus Kapitalvermoegen sind, sind steuerliche Besonderheiten zu beachten. Auch hinsichtlich aufsichtsrechtlicher Vorschriften existieren fur Wertpapierdarle- hen spezifische Regelungen der jeweils zustandigen Behoerde. Wie diese Vorschrif- ten fur Kreditinstitute, Versicherungsgesellschaften und Kapitalanlagege- sellschaften aussehen, ist Gegenstand von Kapitel sieben.

Evolutionary Game Theory, Natural Selection, and Darwinian Dynamics (Paperback): Thomas L. Vincent, Joel S Brown Evolutionary Game Theory, Natural Selection, and Darwinian Dynamics (Paperback)
Thomas L. Vincent, Joel S Brown
R1,552 Discovery Miles 15 520 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

All of life is a game, and evolution by natural selection is no exception. The evolutionary game theory developed in this 2005 book provides the tools necessary for understanding many of nature's mysteries, including co-evolution, speciation, extinction and the major biological questions regarding fit of form and function, diversity, procession, and the distribution and abundance of life. Mathematics for the evolutionary game are developed based on Darwin's postulates leading to the concept of a fitness generating function (G-function). G-function is a tool that simplifies notation and plays an important role developing Darwinian dynamics that drive natural selection. Natural selection may result in special outcomes such as the evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS). An ESS maximum principle is formulated and its graphical representation as an adaptive landscape illuminates concepts such as adaptation, Fisher's Fundamental Theorem of Natural Selection, and the nature of life's evolutionary game.

Epistemic Game Theory - Reasoning and Choice (Paperback, New): Andres Perea Epistemic Game Theory - Reasoning and Choice (Paperback, New)
Andres Perea
R1,451 Discovery Miles 14 510 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In everyday life we must often reach decisions while knowing that the outcome will not only depend on our own choice, but also on the choices of others. These situations are the focus of epistemic game theory. Unlike classical game theory, it explores how people may reason about their opponents before they make their final choice in a game. Packed with examples and practical problems based on stories from everyday life, this is the first textbook to explain the principles of epistemic game theory. Each chapter is dedicated to one particular, natural way of reasoning. The book then shows how each of these ways of reasoning will affect the final choices that can rationally be made and how these choices can be found by iterative procedures. Moreover, it does so in a way that uses elementary mathematics and does not presuppose any previous knowledge of game theory.

Models and Games (Hardcover): Jouko Vaananen Models and Games (Hardcover)
Jouko Vaananen
R1,971 Discovery Miles 19 710 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This gentle introduction to logic and model theory is based on a systematic use of three important games in logic: the semantic game; the Ehrenfeucht Fraisse game; and the model existence game. The third game has not been isolated in the literature before but it underlies the concepts of Beth tableaux and consistency properties. Jouko Vaananen shows that these games are closely related and in turn govern the three interrelated concepts of logic: truth, elementary equivalence and proof. All three methods are developed not only for first order logic but also for infinitary logic and generalized quantifiers. Along the way, the author also proves completeness theorems for many logics, including the cofinality quantifier logic of Shelah, a fully compact extension of first order logic. With over 500 exercises this book is ideal for graduate courses, covering the basic material as well as more advanced applications.

Alan D. Taylor, Allison M. Pacelli
R1,770 Discovery Miles 17 700 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

As a text for an undergraduate mathematics course for nonmajors, Mathematics and Politics requires no prerequisites in either area while the underlying philosophy involves minimizing algebraic computations and focusing instead on some conceptual aspects of mathematics in the context of important real-world questions in political science.

Five major topics are covered including a model of escalation, game theoretic models of international conflict, yes-no voting systems, political power, and social choice. Each topic is discussed in an introductory chapter and revisited in more depth in a later chapter. This new edition has added co-author, Allison Pacelli, and two new chapters on "Fairness" and "More Fairness." The examples and the exercises have been updated and enhanced throughout.

Reviews from first edition:

This book is well written and has much math of interest. While it is pitched at a non-math audience there is material here that will be new and interesting to the readers...

-Sigact News

For mathematicians, Taylor's book shows how the social sciences make use of mathematical thinking, in the form of axiomatic systems, and offers a chance to teach this kind of thinking to our students.

- The College Mathematics Journal

The writing is crisp and the sense of excitement about learning mathematics is seductive. The political conflict examples are well thought out and clear.

R9,304 Discovery Miles 93 040 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

This book will present the papers delivered at the first U.S. conference devoted exclusively to global optimization and will thus provide valuable insights into the significant research on the topic that has been emerging during recent years. Held at Princeton University in May 1991, the conference brought together an interdisciplinary group of the most active developers of algorithms for global optimization in order to focus the attention of the mathematical programming community on the unsolved problems and diverse applications of this field. The main subjects addressed at the conference were advances in deterministic and stochastic methods for global optimization, parallel algorithms for global optimization problems, and applications of global optimization. Although global optimization is primarily a mathematical problem, it is relevant to several other disciplines, including computer science, applied mathematics, physical chemistry, molecular biology, statistics, physics, engineering, operations research, communication theory, and economics. Global optimization problems originate from a wide variety of mathematical models of real-world systems. Some of its applications are allocation and location problems and VLSI and data-base design problems. Originally published in 1991. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Insights into Game Theory - An Alternative Mathematical Experience (Paperback): Ein-Ya Gura, Michael Maschler Insights into Game Theory - An Alternative Mathematical Experience (Paperback)

R879 Discovery Miles 8 790 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Few branches of mathematics have been more influential in the social sciences than game theory. In recent years, it has become an essential tool for all social scientists studying the strategic behaviour of competing individuals, firms and countries. However, the mathematical complexity of game theory is often very intimidating for students who have only a basic understanding of mathematics. Insights into Game Theory addresses this problem by providing students with an understanding of the key concepts and ideas of game theory without using formal mathematical notation. The authors use four very different topics (college admission, social justice and majority voting, coalitions and co-operative games, and a bankruptcy problem from the Talmud) to investigate four areas of game theory. The result is a fascinating introduction to the world of game theory and its increasingly important role in the social sciences.

Strategy and Dynamics in Contests (Hardcover): Kai A. Konrad Strategy and Dynamics in Contests (Hardcover)
Kai A. Konrad
R1,608 Discovery Miles 16 080 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book describes the theory structure underlying contests, in which players expend effort and/or spend money in trying to get ahead of one another. Uniquely, this effort is sunk and cannot be recovered, regardless of whether a player wins or loses in the competition. Such interactions include diverse phenomena such as marketing and advertising by firms, litigation, relative reward schemes in firms, political competition, patent races, sports, military combat, war and civil war. These have been studied in the field of contest theory both within these specific contexts and at a higher level of abstraction.
The purpose of this book is to describe the fundamental common properties of these types of interactions and to uncover some common properties or laws that govern them. The book begins by describing the properties of static contests and tournaments. Aspects such as timing, entry, sabotage and delegation are added and contest design issues such as the admission or exclusion of players and the structure of prizes are discussed. Further, structures are analysed in which players interact repeatedly in the same or different contest environments. Examples are inter-group conflict followed by intra-group rivalry, elimination tournaments and other dynamic contest structures.

Nonlinear Optimization (Hardcover, New): Andrzej Ruszczynski Nonlinear Optimization (Hardcover, New)
Andrzej Ruszczynski
R3,206 Discovery Miles 32 060 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Optimization is one of the most important areas of modern applied mathematics, with applications in fields from engineering and economics to finance, statistics, management science, and medicine. While many books have addressed its various aspects, "Nonlinear Optimization" is the first comprehensive treatment that will allow graduate students and researchers to understand its modern ideas, principles, and methods within a reasonable time, but without sacrificing mathematical precision. Andrzej Ruszczynski, a leading expert in the optimization of nonlinear stochastic systems, integrates the theory and the methods of nonlinear optimization in a unified, clear, and mathematically rigorous fashion, with detailed and easy-to-follow proofs illustrated by numerous examples and figures.

The book covers convex analysis, the theory of optimality conditions, duality theory, and numerical methods for solving unconstrained and constrained optimization problems. It addresses not only classical material but also modern topics such as optimality conditions and numerical methods for problems involving nondifferentiable functions, semidefinite programming, metric regularity and stability theory of set-constrained systems, and sensitivity analysis of optimization problems.

Based on a decade's worth of notes the author compiled in successfully teaching the subject, this book will help readers to understand the mathematical foundations of the modern theory and methods of nonlinear optimization and to analyze new problems, develop optimality theory for them, and choose or construct numerical solution methods. It is a must for anyone seriously interested in optimization.

R2,397 Discovery Miles 23 970 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

"Intellectual property" - patents and copyrights - have become controversial. We witness teenagers being sued for "pirating" music - and we observe AIDS patients in Africa dying due to lack of ability to pay for drugs that are high priced to satisfy patent holders. Are patents and copyrights essential to thriving creation and innovation - do we need them so that we all may enjoy fine music and good health? Across time and space the resounding answer is: No. So-called intellectual property is in fact an "intellectual monopoly" that hinders rather than helps the competitive free market regime that has delivered wealth and innovation to our doorsteps. This book has broad coverage of both copyrights and patents and is designed for a general audience, focusing on simple examples. The authors conclude that the only sensible policy to follow is to eliminate the patents and copyright systems as they currently exist.
