Effects of Magnetic Field on Modified Stokes Problems Involving Fluids Whose Viscosity Depends Exponentially on Pressure

In this study, precise analytical formulas were obtained for dimensionless steady-state velocity and shear stress in modified Stokes flow scenarios involving fluids whose viscosity here varies exponentially with pressure, with magnetic effects and gravitational acceleration also taken into account.Actually, these are the first exact solutions for s

Imitation Dynamics in Oligopoly Games with Heterogeneous Players

We investigate the role and performance of imitative behavior in a class of quantity-setting, Cournot games.Within a framework of evolutionary competition between rational, myopic best-response and imitation heuristics with differential heuristics’ costs, we found that the equilibrium stability depends on the sign of the cost differential between
