The purpose of this note is to analyze properties of the risk lovers' utility function beyond the positive sign of its second order derivative. We show that—contrarily to a priori beliefs—risk lovers are prudent and are willing to accumulate precautionary savings. (JEL D81)

This paper concerns  a priori second order derivative estimates of solutions of the Neumann problem for the Monge-Amp\`ere type equations in bounded domains in n dimensional Euclidean space. We first establish a double normal second order derivative estimate on the boundary under an appropriate notion of domain convexity. Then, assuming a barrier condition for the linearized operator, we provide a complete proof of the global second derivative estimate for elliptic solutions, as previously studied in our earlier work. We also consider extensions to the degenerate elliptic case, in both the regular and strictly regular matrix cases.

AbstractThis paper is concerned with the second-order nonlinear Robin problem involving the first-order derivative: $$ \textstyle\begin{cases} u''+f(t,u,u^{\prime })=0, \\ u(0)=u'(1)-\alpha u(1)=0,\end{cases} $$ { u ″ + f ( t , u , u ′ ) = 0 , u ( 0 ) = u ′ ( 1 ) − α u ( 1 ) = 0 , where $f\in C([0,1]\times \mathbb{R}^{2}_{+},\mathbb{R}_{+})$ f ∈ C ( [ 0 , 1 ] × R + 2 , R + ) and $\alpha \in ]0,1[$ α ∈ ] 0 , 1 [ . Based on a priori estimates, we use fixed point index theory to establish some results on existence, multiplicity and uniqueness of positive solutions thereof, with the unique positive solution being the limit of of an iterative sequence. The results presented here generalize and extend the corresponding ones for nonlinearities independent of the first-order derivative.

Interpretative Approach

In Hebrew Bible/Old Testament scholarship, one encounters a variety of reductive perspectives on what exactly Yahweh as religious object is assumed to be. In this article, a clarification of the research problem is followed by an introductory overview of what is currently available on this topic as is attested in the context of various interpretative methodologies and their associated meta-languages. It is argued that any attempt to describe the actual metaphysical nature and ontological status of the religious object in the jargon of a particular interpretative approach is forever prone to committing the fallacy of reductionism. Even so, given the irreducible methodological perspectivism supervening on heuristic specificity, reductive accounts as such are unavoidable. If this is correct, then it follows a fortiori that a unified theory (of everything Yahweh can be said to be) and an ideal meta-language (with which to perfectly reconstruct the religious object within second-order discourse) are a priori impossible.

Derivative Uv Spectrophotometry

Four simple, rapid, accurate, precise, reliable, and economical UV-spectrophotometric methods have been proposed for the determination of tadalafil in bulk and in pharmaceutical formulation. “Method A” is first order derivative UV spectrophotometry using amplitude, “method B” is first order derivative UV spectrophotometry using area under curve technique, “method C” is second order derivative UV spectrophotometry using amplitude, and “method D” is second order derivative UV spectrophotometry using area under curve technique. The developed methods have shown best results in terms of linearity, accuracy, precision, and LOD and LOQ for bulk drug and marketed formulation as well. In N,N-dimethylformamide, tadalafil showed maximum absorbance at 284 nm. For “method A” amplitude was recorded at 297 nm while for “method B” area under curve was integrated in the wavelength range of 290.60–304.40 nm. For “method C” amplitude was measured at 284 nm while for “method D” area under curve was selected in the wavelength range of 280.80–286.20 nm. For methods A and B, tadalafil obeyed Lambert-Beer’s law in the range of 05–50 μg/mL while for “methods C and D”, tadalafil obeyed Lambert-Beer’s law in the range of 20–70 μg/mL, and-for “methods A, B, C, and D” the correlation coefficients were found to be > than 0.999.
