Orthosymmetric Maps And Polynomial Valuations
… characterizations for order bounded polynomial valuations and for order continuous polynomials of order bounded variation. Finally, we use polynomial valuations to prove that a certain restriction of the Arens extension of a bounded orthosymmetric multilinear map is orthosymmetric.

Social Influences on Children's Option Valuations
… to others' preferences - into their object valuations? Valuation is an important component of economic exchange, and is key to assessing how resources are fairly distributed or favors reciprocated. As humans often need to make critical decisions with limited information, garnering …

Irrational behavior of algebraic discrete valuations
… construct a family of algebraic discrete rank 1 valuations whose associated Hilbert function cannot be written as the sum of a quasi-polynomial and a bounded function. We further show that the set of multiplicities associated to these algebraic discrete rank 1 valuations contains the interval [0, …

The structure of spaces of valuations and the local uniformization problem
… was to prove local uniformization for all valuations of the associated function field and use the compactness of the Zariski space of valuations to glue the solutions together and construct a global resolution. Hence, his approach deals with two aspects: proving local uniformization and …

Relative valuations of merchant and tolling LNG models considering alternate capital structures
… structure. Once we have determined the relative valuations of each scenario, sensitivity analysis and Monte Carlo methods will be applied to the outcomes in order to determine the optimal combination of contract structure and capital structure for both debt and equity holders.

Generating sequences and semigroups of valuations on 2 dimensional normal local rings
… method for constructing generating sequences for valuations dominating the ring of a two dimensional quotient singularity. Suppose that K is an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, K[X, Y] is a polynomial ring over K and v is a rational rank 1 valuation of the field K(X, Y) which …

Foreign exchange risk exposure, hedging behaviour, and corporate valuations: Evidence from South Africa
The international business and finance literature documents a so-called exchange rate exposure puzzle. The exchange rate exposure puzzle refers to the apparent lack of empirical support for theories posited in the finance literature which predict that in the advent of an increasingly globalising …

Hadwiger Integration of Definable Functions
This thesis denes and classies valuations on denable functionals. The intrinsic volumes are valuations on "tame" subsets of R^n, and by easy extension, valuations on functionals on R^n with nitely many level sets, each a "tame" subset of R^n. We extend these valuations, which we call Hadwiger …
