On the Lagrangian branched transport model and the equivalence with its Eulerian formulation
First we present two classical models of Branched Transport: the Lagrangian
model introduced by Bernot, Caselles, Morel, Maddalena, Solimini, and the
Eulerian model introduced by Xia. An emphasis is put on the Lagrangian model,
for which we give a complete proof of existence of minimizers in a
--hopefully-- simplified manner. We also treat in detail some
-finiteness and rectifiability issues to yield rigorously the energy
formula connecting the irrigation cost I to the Gilbert Energy
E. Our main purpose is to use this energy formula and exploit a Smirnov
decomposition of vector flows, which was proved via the Dacorogna-Moser
approach by Santambrogio, to establish the equivalence between the Lagrangian
and Eulerian models
Stochastic differential utility as the continuous-time limit of recursive utility
We establish a convergence theorem that shows that discrete-time recursive utility, as developed by Kreps and Porteus (1978), converges to stochastic differential utility, as introduced by Dufffie and Epstein (1992), in the continuous-time limit of vanishing grid size
A Unified View of Large-scale Zero-sum Equilibrium Computation
The task of computing approximate Nash equilibria in large zero-sum
extensive-form games has received a tremendous amount of attention due mainly
to the Annual Computer Poker Competition. Immediately after its inception, two
competing and seemingly different approaches emerged---one an application of
no-regret online learning, the other a sophisticated gradient method applied to
a convex-concave saddle-point formulation. Since then, both approaches have
grown in relative isolation with advancements on one side not effecting the
other. In this paper, we rectify this by dissecting and, in a sense, unify the
two views.Comment: AAAI Workshop on Computer Poker and Imperfect Informatio
Cournot-Nash Competition in a General Equilibrium Model of International Trade.
We use the two-factor, two-sector, two-country model of Melvin and Warne (1973) and Markusen (1981), in which the production of one good is monopolized in each country, in order to investigate the role of the price normalization. We illustrate several puzzling effects that occur if the price normalization is changed. However, we show that Markusen’s result on the direction of the trade flow between two proportional countries with constant returns to scale is robust with respect to the choice of the normalization rule. To overcome the price normalization problem in international trade we suggest to use the concept of real wealth maximization.international trade with imperfect competition; price normalization; real wealth maximization
