The internal rate of return of fuzzy cash flows.

Loredana Biacino, M. Rosaria Simonelli (1992)

Stochastica

An internal rate of return (IRR) of an investment or financing project with cash flow (a0,a1,a2,...,an) is usually defined as a rate of interest r such thata0 + a1(1 + r)-1 + ... + an(1 + r)-n = 0.If the cash flow has one sign change then the previous equation has a unique solution r > -1.Generally the IRR technique does not extend to fuzzy cash flows, as it can be seen with examples (see [2]). In this paper we show that under suitable hypothesis a unique fuzzy IRR exists for a fuzzy cash...

The irrelevant information principle for collective probabilistic reasoning

Martin Adamčík, George Wilmers (2014)

Kybernetika

Within the framework of discrete probabilistic uncertain reasoning a large literature exists justifying the maximum entropy inference process, error , as being optimal in the context of a single agent whose subjective probabilistic knowledge base is consistent. In particular Paris and Vencovská completely characterised the error inference process by means of an attractive set of axioms which an inference process should satisfy. More recently the second author extended the Paris-Vencovská axiomatic approach...

The isomorphism relation between tree-automatic Structures

Olivier Finkel, Stevo Todorčević (2010)

Open Mathematics

An ω-tree-automatic structure is a relational structure whose domain and relations are accepted by Muller or Rabin tree automata. We investigate in this paper the isomorphism problem for ω-tree-automatic structures. We prove first that the isomorphism relation for ω-tree-automatic boolean algebras (respectively, partial orders, rings, commutative rings, non commutative rings, non commutative groups, nilpotent groups of class n ≥ 2) is not determined by the axiomatic system ZFC. Then we prove that...
