An Investigation on the Basic Conceptual Foundations of Quantum Mechanics by Using the Clifford Algebra
We review our approach to quantum mechanics adding also some new interesting
results. We start by giving proof of two important theorems on the existence of
the and Clifford algebras. This last algebra gives proof of the von Neumann
basic postulates on the quantum measurement explaining thus in an algebraic
manner the wave function collapse postulated in standard quantum theory. In
this manner we reach the objective to expose a self-consistent version of
quantum mechanics. We give proof of the quantum like Heisenberg uncertainty
relations, the phenomenon of quantum Mach Zender interference as well as
quantum collapse in some cases of physical interest We also discuss the problem
of time evolution of quantum systems as well as the changes in space location.
We also give demonstration of the Kocken-Specher theorem, and also we give an
algebraic formulation and explanation of the EPR . By using the same approach
we also derive Bell inequalities. Our formulation is strongly based on the use
of idempotents that are contained in Clifford algebra. Their counterpart in
quantum mechanics is represented by the projection operators that are
interpreted as logical statements, following the basic von Neumann results.
Using the Clifford algebra we are able to invert such result. According to the
results previously obtained by Orlov in 1994, we are able to give proof that
quantum mechanics derives from logic. We show that indeterminism and quantum
interference have their origin in the logic.Comment: forthcoming papers; http://www.m-hikari.com/astp/forth/index.htm
Regularity estimates for scalar conservation laws in one space dimension
In this paper we deal with the regularizing effect that, in a scalar
conservation laws in one space dimension, the nonlinearity of the flux function
has on the entropy solution. More precisely, if the set
is dense, the regularity of the solution can be expressed in terms of
spaces, where depends on the nonlinearity of . If
moreover the set is finite, under the additional polynomial
degeneracy condition at the inflection points, we prove that for every and that this can be
improved to regularity except an at
most countable set of singular times. Finally we present some examples that
shows the sharpness of these results and counterexamples to related questions,
namely regularity in the kinetic formulation and a property of the fractional
BV spaces
Shadow Pricing Rules for Partially Traded Goods
This paper shows how to shadow price partially traded goods following the standard rules of cost-benefit analysis, i.e. identifying the individuals affected, measuring their corresponding compensating variations, and aggregating those measures according to a distributional value judgement. The analysis is conducted in a partial equilibrium framework, allowing for direct operational application.accounting prices, shadow prices, shadow pricing, partially traded, traded goods, cost-benefit analysis; project appraisal
Addendum to Quantum Wave Function Collapse of a System Having Three anti Commuting Elements.
We indicate a new way in the solution of the problem of the quantum measurement . In past
papers we used the well-known formalism of the density matrix using an algebraic approach in a two
states quantum spin system S, considering the particular case of three anticommuting elements. We
demonstrated that, during the wave collapse, we have a transition from the standard Clifford algebra,
structured in its space and metrics, to the new spatial structure of the Clifford dihedral algebra. This
structured geometric transition, which occurs during the interaction of the S system with the macroscopic
measurement system M, causes the destruction of the interferential factors. In the present paper we
construct a detailed model of the (S+M) interaction evidencing the particular role of the Time Ordering in
the (S+M) coupling since we have a time asymmetric interaction . We demonstrate that , during the
measurement , the physical circumstance that the fermion creation and annihilation operators of the S
system must be destroyed during such interaction has a fundamental role
Determining the anisotropic traction state in a membrane by boundary measurements

Traffic Engineering in G-MPLS networks with QoS guarantees
In this paper a new Traffic Engineering (TE) scheme to efficiently route sub-wavelength requests with different QoS requirements is proposed for G-MPLS networks. In most previous studies on TE based on dynamic traffic grooming, the objectives were to minimize the rejection probability by respecting the constraints of the optical node architecture, but without considering service differentiation. In practice, some high-priority (HP) connections can instead be characterized by specific constraints on the maximum tolerable end-to-end delay and packet-loss ratio. The proposed solution consists of a distributed two-stage scheme: each time a new request arrives, an on-line dynamic grooming scheme finds a route which fulfills the QoS requirements. If a HP request is blocked at the ingress router, a preemption algorithm is executed locally in order to create room for this traffic. The proposed preemption mechanism minimizes the network disruption, both in term of number of rerouted low-priority connections and new set-up lightpaths, and the signaling complexity. Extensive simulation experiments are performed to demonstrate the efficiency of our scheme
Poverty Targeting Classifications and Distributional Effects
This paper reviews two common definitions of poverty targeted projects, discusses the limitations of poverty targeting classifications, calls for a poverty focused cost-benefit analysis that looks at the main policy constraints affecting the distribution of project benefits, and argues for looking at the distribution of net benefits. Finally, it offers some conclusions for the distributionally-minded applied economists.cost-benefit, poverty, targeting, distribution, distributional effects, project, project analysis, project appraisal, project evaluation
