Cross subsidization is the practice of charging higher prices to one type of consumers to artificially lower prices for another group.State trading enterprises with monopoly control over marketing agricultural exports are sometimes alleged to cross subsidize, but lack of transparency in their operations makes it difficult, if not impossible, to determine if that is the case.
As Branko Grünbaum writes, simplicial arrangements "appear as examples or counterexamples in many contexts of combinatorial geometry and its applications." [ 23 ] For instance, simplicial arrangements form counterexamples to a conjecture on the relation between the degree of a set of differential equations and the number of invariant lines the ...
15, true, Tautology. Each logic operator can be used in an assertion about variables and operations, showing a basic rule of inference. Examples: The column-14 operator (OR), shows Addition rule: when p=T (the hypothesis selects the first two lines of the table), we see (at column-14) that p∨q=T.
Associative operations are abundant in mathematics; in fact, many algebraic structures (such as semigroups and categories) explicitly require their binary operations to be associative. However, many important and interesting operations are non-associative; some examples include subtraction, exponentiation, and the vector cross product.
For example, increased automation has reduced labor, which is a direct cost, but has increased depreciation, which is an indirect cost. Like manufacturing industries, financial institutions have diverse products and customers, which can cause cross-product, cross-customer subsidies. Since personnel expenses represent the largest single ...
Items of information a and b are known and are to be fused into information item c.We know a and b have mean/covariance ^, and ^, , but the cross correlation is not known. The covariance intersection update gives mean and covariance for c as
For example, if a subroutine needed to perform a matrix multiplication, then the subroutine would have three nested loops. Linear algebra programs have many common low-level operations (the so-called "kernel" operations, not related to operating systems). [14] Between 1973 and 1977, several of these kernel operations were identified. [15]
Combinatorial designs date to antiquity, with the Lo Shu Square being an early magic square.One of the earliest datable application of combinatorial design is found in India in the book Brhat Samhita by Varahamihira, written around 587 AD, for the purpose of making perfumes using 4 substances selected from 16 different substances using a magic square.
