We shall deal with some problems concerning the stability domains, the spectrum of matrix pairs, the exponential stability and its robustness measure for linear implicit dynamic equations of arbitrary index. First, some characterizations of the stability domains corresponding to a convergent sequenc[r]

No region has been more dynamic in recent years than East Asia. Despite its successful economic development, evaluations of the East Asian development model have often been capricious, shifting from ‘miracle’ to ‘cronyism.’ How can we explain East Asia’s ups and downs consistently? To respond to thi[r]
What are the outcomes for the poor of Vietnam’s public safety net? Although centrally mandated, social welfare programs are locally implemented according to local norms and local poverty standards, and are often heavily reliant on local financing.

A recent survey conducted by an EducationalTesting Service (ETS) representative in Vietnam, using a standardised Test ofEnglish for International Communication (TOEIC), also found that first-yearstudents from 18 universities generally attained a limited level of English[r]
The unit of measurement for time is seconds, denoted by s. Originally this wasbased on the length of a day. However not all days are exactly the same duration so the second is now defined as the time it takes for a certain number ofenergy changes to occur in the caesium atom.1.1.4. TemperatureThe un[r]

This paper presents an efficient procedure to extend dynamic lotsizing heuristics that has been overlooked by inventory management literature and practice. Its intention is to show that the extension improves the results of basic heuristics significantly. We first present a comprehensive description[r]
