Continuity, Discontinuity and Dynamics in Mathematics & Economics - Reconsidering Rosser's Visions

Abstract

Barkley Rosser has been a pioneer in arguing the case for the mathematics of discontinuity, broadly conceived, to be placed at the foundations of modelling economic dynamics. In this paper we reconsider this vision from the broad perspective of a variety of different kinds of mathematics and suggest a broadening of Rosser’s methodology to the study of economic dynamicsContinuity, Discontinuity, Economic Dynamics, Relaxation Oscillations
