This text explains how to use mathematical models and methods to analyze problems that arise in computer science. Proofs play a central role in this work because the authors share a belief with most mathematicians that proofs are essential for genuine understanding. Proofs also play a growing role in computer science; they are used to certify that software and hardware will always behave cor…
Concepts similar to stochastic dominance have been known for many years, but the three papers published by Hadar and Russell and Hanoch and Levy in 1969 and by Rothschild and Stiglitz in 19701 paved the way for a new paradigm called stochastic dominance (SD), with hundreds of studies following these three studies. While Hanoch and Levy and Hadar and Russell developed First and Second degree…
