Complementarity in Interpersonal Construal
The interpersonal construal styles of 184 females classified into moderate or extreme levels of Leary's (1957) eight interpersonal personality types were compared. Women representing the various extreme octants were predicted to misconstrue a set of interpersonal stimuli as complementary to their …

Complementarity and uncertainty in quantum interference
This thesis is concerned with the notions of complementarity and uncertainty encountered in quantum mechanics. Its starting point is an assessment of how these concepts have been represented and illustrated by various writers dating back to their inception. Following the survey a coherent account …

Non-interior path-following methods for complementarity problems
… become an important class of methods for solving complementarity problems. However, no rate of convergence results are available for these methods. In this thesis, we bridge this gap between the theory and the practical performance of the methods. Specifically, we focus on the rates of …

Probability-One Homotopy Maps for Mixed Complementarity Problems
… mild assumptions. Such algorithms for mixed complementarity problems (MCPs) have potentially wide impact because MCPs are pervasive in science and engineering. A probability-one homotopy algorithm for MCPs was developed earlier by Billups and Watson based on the default homotopy mapping. This …

Complementarity of Politics and Administration: An Empirical Examination
… is designed to examine the impact of the complementarity of politics and administration on local governments' fiscal performance. The study adopts Svara's <em>Politics-Administration Complementarity Model</em>, which explains the mutual interdependence and reciprocal influence of …

International Criminal Court complementarity and non-state actors’ proceedings
The law of complementarity codified by rules on the admissibility of cases is analysed concerning proceedings organised by non-State actors: (i) where the actors exercise substantial control over part of territory while vowing to depose a government of the State, (ii) where the actors break away …

Factor substitution and complementarity in Greek manufacturing, 1961-70
<p>...It is the purpose of this thesis to proffer two alternative hypotheses about the behavior of the ratio of salaried employees to wage—earners and to use these to explain the changing relationships of salaried to non-salaried workers in Greek manufacturing.</p><p>The first proposition states …

Kernel-Based Interior-Point Algorithms for the Linear Complementarity Problem
In this thesis, we consider the Linear Complementarity Problem (LCP), which is a well-known mathematical problem with many practical applications. The objective of the LCP is to find a certain vector that will satisfy a set of linear inequalities and (non-linear) complementary equation. A …

Forward and inverse American option pricing via a complementarity approach
… In Chapter 2, we establish partial differential complementarity systems for pricing American options under the aforementioned three models. We also introduce two different discretization schemes, a finite difference method and a finite element method, for the discretization of the complementarity …

Public and private investment in Brazil: Empirical evidence about complementarity
… Overall, our results corroborate the long-run complementarity hypothesis for the Brazilian economy in the period in question. The provision of infrastructure capital, however, has a stronger impact than non-infrastructure investment. Hence, if public investment is used as a policy tool to …

Complementarity and the practice of psychotherapy : an alternative to eclecticism
… methods. It draws on the philosophy of complementarity as postulated by Niels Bohr in order to develop an alternative approach. This philosophy stresses the indeterminate nature of the object of study in psychology, and therefore holds that it is necessary to entertain multiple …

Capacity Investment, Flexibility, and Product Substitution/Complementarity under Demand Uncertainty
… capacity and the degree of product substitution/complementarity under price/production postponement, considering different business practices (holdback versus clearance, negative price policies) and different demand models. Specifically, we consider a firm that produces two products, which can be …

Full-Newton-Step Interior-Point Method for the Linear Complementarity Problems
… Interior-Point Method (IPM) for monotone Linear Complementarity Problem (LPC). The advantage of the method is that it uses full Newton-steps, thus, avoiding the calculation of the step size at each iteration. However, by suitable choice of parameters the iterates are forced to stay in the …

Interior-point algorithms for solving linear complementarity problems and their applications
In this thesis, we present the theory of linear complementarity prob-lems (LCPs), with a particular focus on problems whose matrix belongs to the class of P∗(κ)-matrices. In the introduction, we also provide a brief historical background of the theory of interior-point algorithms (IPAs). We discuss …

Decomposition-based, complementarity models for renewable energy generation system design optimization
… This dissertation presents decomposition-based, complementarity models for renewable energy generation system design optimization. A generalization of the decomposition-based design optimization, the subsystems of which involve complementarity conditions, is studied under the concept of …

The System of the International Criminal Court: Complementarity in International Criminal Justice
Complementarity, the mechanism that regulates the exercise of the concurrent jurisdiction between the International Criminal Court (ICC) and national courts, constitutes one of the key features of the ICC, if not the cardinal one. As such, it keeps attracting the attention of both scholars and …

Levenberg-Marquardt Algorithms for Nonlinear Equations, Multi-objective Optimization, and Complementarity Problems
… equations, multi-objective optimization and complementarity problems. We develop new algorithms for solving these problems and investigate their convergence properties. For sufficiently smooth nonlinear equations we provide convergence results for inexact Levenberg-Marquardt type algorithms. …

Improved Full-Newton-Step Infeasible Interior-Point Method for Linear Complementarity Problems
… Interior-Point Method (IIPM) for monotone Linear Complementarity Problem (LCP). One of the most important advantages of this version in compare to old version is that it only requires feasibility steps. In the earlier version, each iteration consisted of one feasibility step and some centering …
