Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyse the current rhetoric of predictability in investment theory. After making the case for unpredictability, a new rhetoric for investment theory is proposed. Design/methodology/approach – McCloskey's project of the rhetoric of economics provides...

This article describes how electronic healthcare has been the key application of pervasive computing innovations to enhance healthcare quality and protect human lives. Specific patients of constant sicknesses and elderly individuals, by and large, may oblige continuous observing of their...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to review current knowledge, research and thinking about the difficulties facing public libraries offering internet access to their users in ensuring legally compliant and non-offensive use of this facility whilst still adhering to the professional value...

Vibration control of fractional-order linear systems in the presence of time delays has been dealt in this article. Considering a delayed n-degree-of freedom linear structure that is modeled by fractional order equations, a fractional-order optimal control is provided to minimize both control...

Abstract In this paper, we study one-dimensional backward stochastic differential equations under logarithmic growth in the 𝑧-variable (\lvert z\rvert\sqrt{\lvert\ln\lvert z\rvert\rvert}) . We show the existence and the uniqueness of the solution when the noise is driven by a Brownian motion...

Summary It is frequently observed that the implementation of green policies is delayed compared to the initial announcement. Considering a setting with a representative monopolist extracting a nonrenewable resource, we demonstrate that announcing a green policy, but then delaying its...

SUMMARY We give an explicit PDE characterization for the solution of a robust utility maximization problem in an incomplete market model, whose volatility, interest rate process, and long-term trend are driven by an external stochastic factor process. The robust utility functional is defined in...
