Functional differential equations with forward and backward delays arise naturally, for instance, in the study of travelling waves in lattice equations and as semi-discretizations of partial ...

To define a likelihood we have to specify the form of distribution of the observations, but to define a quasi-likelihood function we need only specify a relation between the mean and variance of the ...

Consequently, the ever-widening gap between exponential progress and our linear thinking presents a significant challenge for the modern human experience.
