Theorem of existence of ruptures for mean values on finite numerical segments. Discrete case
Abstract
The proof of the theorem of existence of the ruptures, namely the proof of maximality, is improved. The theorem may be used in economics and explain the well-known problems such as Allais’ paradox. Illustrated examples of ruptures are presented.Download Info
