Topic: Subadditive


  
  Subadditive function - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, a subadditive function is a function f : A → B, having a domain A and a codomain B that are both closed under addition, with the following property:
The major reason for use of subadditive sequences is the following lemma due to M.

 PlanetMath: subadditivity
The major reason for use of subadditive sequences is the following lemma due to Fekete.
There are also results that allow one to deduce the rate of convergence to the limit whose existence is stated in Fekete lemma if some kind of both super- and subadditivity is present.
This is version 6 of subadditivity, born on 2003-08-19, modified 2003-09-08.

An ergodic theorem is proved which extends the subadditive ergodic theorem of Kingman and the Banach valued ergodic theorem of Mouner The theorem is applied to several problems, in particular to a problem on empirical distribution functions.
The subadditive ergodic theorem of Kingman [2, 5, 6, 16, 17,
The usefulness of subadditive ergodic theory is substantially extended by a reformulation in terms of stationary pro6esses.

 VaR and Subadditivity   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Subadditivity means that aggregating risks does not increase overall risk and is a fundamental requirement of any “good” risk measure.
The reason for this action would be that the sum of the capital requirements of the smaller units would be less than the capital requirement of the firm as a whole.
The failure of VaR to be subadditive is a fundamental problem because it means, in essence, that VaR has no claim to be regarded as a “proper” risk measure at all.

The final section similarly estimates the "time constant" of the subadditive process associated to the class of lower layers and consequently obtains as corollaries results due to, Blum [1] and DeHardt [5, 6].
The existence of the limits on the left side of equations (4.9), (4.10), and (4.11) is an immediate consequence of Kingman's subadditive ergodic theorem and Theorem 2.
The Theorem 6.1 is then an instance of computing the "time constant" of a subadditive process, and the calculation of such constants was pointed out by Kingman [131 to be a basic problem in the theory of subadditive processes.

Recently, behavioral economists have reported that impatience/impulsivity in intertemporal choice is increased if a delay period is presented as a sum of divided time-blocks, which is referred to as subadditive discounting (i.e., "total patience" over the delay period is larger than the "sum of patience" over divided delay periods).
This finding implies that abstinent drug addicts may more readily relapse into addiction if an abstinence period is presented as a series of shorter abstinent periods, rather than a single block of a long abstinence period.
Therefore, understanding of neuropsychological processing underlying subadditive discounting is important for establishing medical treatments of drug addiction, although to date, no study has addressed this question.

 A subadditive thermodynamic formalism for mixing repellers
The thermodynamical description of fractals that has recently attracted much interest both experimentally and theoretically in the study of dynamical systems is, in some ways, limited, being essentially an additive theory.
The author presents a subadditive thermodynamic formalism for which he derives a variational principle and shows how it may be used to study the dynamics of non-conformal transformations.
In particular the author discusses an analogue of Bowen's formula for the dimension of a mixing repeller.
