On a Mathematical Comparison between Hierarchy and Network with a Classification of Coordination Structures

This paper proposes a mathematical model to compare a network organization with a hierarchical organization. In order to formulate the model, we define a three-dimensional framework of the coordination structure of a network and of other typical coordination structures. In the framework, we can define a network structure by contrasting it with a hierarchy, in terms of the distribution of decision making, which is one of the main features of information processing. Based on this definition, we have developed a mathematical model for evaluating coordination structures. Using this model, we can derive two boundary conditions among the coordination structures with respect to the optimal coordination structure. The boundary conditions help us to understand why an organization changes its coordination structure from a hierarchy to a network and what factors cause this change. They enable us, for example, to find points of structural change where the optimal coordination structure shifts from a hierarchy to a hierarchy with delegation or from a hierarchy with delegation to a network, when the nature of the task changes from routine to non-routine. In conclusion, our framework and model may provide a basis for discussing the processes that occur when coordination structures change between a hierarchy and a network.     

Characterizations of g-frames and g-Riesz bases in Hilbert spaces

In this paper, we introduce the pre-frame operator Q for the g-frame in a complex Hilbert space, which will play a key role in studying g-frames and g-Riesz bases etc. Using the pre-frame operator Q, we give some necessary and sufficient conditions for a g-Bessel sequence, a g-frame, and a g-Riesz basis in a complex Hilbert space, which have properties similar to those of the Bessel sequence, frame, and Riesz basis respectively. We also obtain the relation between a g-frame and a g-Riesz basis, and the relation of bounds between a g-frame and a g-Riesz basis. Lastly, we consider the stability of a g-frame or a g-Riesz basis for a Hilbert space under perturbation.     

Solution to the variation problem for information path functional of a controlled random process

The paper introduces a new approach to dynamic modeling, using the variation principle, applied to a functional on trajectories of a controlled random process, and its connection to the process' information functional. In [V.S. Lerner, Dynamic approximation of a random information functional, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 327 (1) (2007) 494-514, available online 5-24-06], we presented the information path functional with the Lagrangian, determined by the parameters of a controlled stochastic equation. In this paper, the solution to the path functional's variation problem provides both a dynamic model of a random process and the model's optimal control, which allows us to build a two-level information model with a random process at the microlevel and a dynamic process at the macrolevel. A wide class of random objects, modeled by the Markov diffusion process and a common structure of the process' information functional, leads to a universal information structure of the dynamic model, which is specified and identified on a particular object with the applied optimal control functions. The developed mathematical formalism, based on classical methods, is aimed toward the solution of problems identification, combined with an optimal control synthesis, which is practically implemented and also demonstrated in the paper's example.     

Mean-variance optimization problems for an accumulation phase in a defined benefit plan

In this paper we deal with contribution rate and asset allocation strategies in a pre-retirement accumulation phase. We consider a single cohort of workers and investigate a retirement plan of a defined benefit type in which an accumulated fund is converted into a life annuity. Due to the random evolution of a mortality intensity, the future price of an annuity, and as a result, the liability of the fund, is uncertain. A manager has control over a contribution rate and an investment strategy and is concerned with covering the random claim. We consider two mean-variance optimization problems, which are quadratic control problems with an additional constraint on the expected value of the terminal surplus of the fund. This functional objectives can be related to the well-established financial theory of claim hedging. The financial market consists of a risk-free asset with a constant force of interest and a risky asset whose price is driven by a Lévy noise, whereas the evolution of a mortality intensity is described by a stochastic differential equation driven by a Brownian motion. Techniques from the stochastic control theory are applied in order to find optimal strategies.     

The Buneman index via polyhedral split decomposition

The split decomposition of a metric using the so-called isolation index was established by Bandelt and Dress, and it is a theoretical foundation for certain phylogenetic network reconstruction methods. Recently, Hirai gave a geometric interpretation to the split decomposition, and provided an extension of the split decomposition for a distance, i.e., a symmetric nonnegative function with zero diagonal. By Herrmann and Moulton, such a geometric approach was further applied to polyhedral functions, called tight-spans in their style, defined on various vector configurations. This paper addresses the split decomposition with respect to a particular kind of vector configuration, which does not satisfy the assumption imposed by Hirai or Herrmann and Moulton. As a result, we obtain geometrically the Buneman index, which is also used to construct a phylogenetic tree. Moreover, this paper deals with the combinatorial aspect of the polyhedral split decomposition, and gives a combinatorial characterization of the split-decomposability with the aid of the matroid associated with the vector configuration.     

Dynamic contact problem for viscoelastic piezoelectric materials with normal damped response and friction

In this paper, we deal with a class of inequality problems for dynamic frictional contact between a piezoelectric body and a foundation. The model consists of a system of the hemivariational inequality of hyperbolic type for the displacement, the time dependent elliptic equation for the electric potential. The contact is modeled by a general normal damped response condition and a friction law, which are nonmonotone, possibly multivalued and have the subdifferential form. The existence of a weak solution to the model is proved by embedding the problem into a class of second-order evolution inclusions and by applying a surjectivity result for multivalued operators.     

A viscoelastic frictionless contact problem with adhesion

We consider a model for the quasistatic, bilateral, adhesive and frictionless contact between a viscoelastic body and a rigid foundation. The adhesion process on the contact surface is modeled by a surface internal variable, the bonding field, and the tangential shear due to the bonding field is included. The problem is formulated as a coupled system of a variational equality for the displacements and an integro-differential equation for the bonding field. The existence of a unique weak solution for the problem is established by construction of an appropriate mapping which is shown to be a contraction on a Hilbert space. We also consider the problem describing the bilateral contact between two viscoelastic bodies, and establish similar results.     

Partnership formation based on multiple traits

A model of partnership formation based on two traits, called beauty and character, is presented. There are two classes of individual and partners must be of different classes. Individuals prefer prospective partners with a high beauty measure and of a similar character. This problem may be interpreted as e.g. a job search problem in which the classes are employer and employee, or a mate choice problem in which the classes are male and female. Beauty can be observed instantly. However, a costly date (or interview) is required to observe the character of a prospective partner. On observing the beauty of a prospective partner, an individual decides whether he/she wishes to date. During a date, the participants observe each other’s character and then decide whether to form a pair. Mutual acceptance is required both for a date to occur and pair formation. On finding a partner, an individual stops searching. Beauty has a continuous distribution on a finite interval, while character ‘forms a circle’ and has a uniform distribution. Criteria based on the concept of a subgame perfect Nash equilibrium are used to define a symmetric equilibrium of this game. It is argued that this equilibrium is unique. When dating costs are high, this equilibrium is a block separating equilibrium as in more classical formulations of two-sided job search problems. However, for sufficiently small dating costs the form of this equilibrium is essentially different.
