Transversality Conditions for Higher Order Infinite Horizon Discrete Time Optimization Problems
In this paper, we examine higher order difference problems. Using the
"squeezing" argument, we derive both Euler's condition and the transversality
condition. In order to derive the two conditions, two needed assumptions are
identified. A counterexample, in which the transversality condition is not
satisfied without the two assumptions, is also presented
Heterogeneous impacts of COVID-19 on trade : evidence from China\u27s province-level data
This study investigates how the extent of COVID-19 damage affected China’s province-level trade with foreign countries and reports the heterogeneous effects of these damages. Using monthly trade data for January–August 2019 and 2020 and the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases, in a gravity equation, we measure the damage extent on exports and imports separately. The results show that a provincial rise in the confirmed cases decreases exports and imports, especially until March. The larger negative effects of COVID-19 are more prominent on the processing than ordinary trade; these effects are smaller in provinces with a larger number of deaths during the severe acute respiratory syndrome outbreak. However, urbanization and mobile phone diffusion exhibit a potential to mitigate these effects on trade

Hydrogen assisted growth of high quality epitaxial graphene on the C-face of 4H-SiC
We demonstrate hydrogen assisted growth of high quality epitaxial graphene on
the C-face of 4H-SiC. Compared with the conventional thermal decomposition
technique, the size of the growth domain by this method is substantially
increased and the thickness variation is reduced. Based on the morphology of
epitaxial graphene, the role of hydrogen is revealed. It is found that hydrogen
acts as a carbon etchant. It suppresses the defect formation and nucleation of
graphene. It also improves the kinetics of carbon atoms via hydrocarbon
species. These effects lead to increase of the domain size and the structure
quality. The consequent capping effect results in smooth surface morphology and
suppression of multilayer growth. Our method provides a viable route to fine
tune the growth kinetics of epitaxial graphene on SiC.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figure

Constructing the Optimal Solutions to the Undiscounted Continuous-Time Infinite Horizon Optimization Problems
We aim to construct the optimal solutions to the undiscounted continuous-time
infinite horizon optimization problems, the objective functionals of which may
be unbounded. We identify the condition under which the limit of the solutions
to the finite horizon problems is optimal for the infinite horizon problems
under the overtaking criterion
