    • Envy, self-esteem, and distributive justice 

      Stensen, Vegard (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-21)
      Most agree that envy, or at least the malicious kind(s), should not have any role in the moral justification of distributive arrangements. This paper defends a contrary position. It argues that at the very least John Rawls, Axel Honneth and others that care about the social bases of self-esteem have good reasons to care about the levels of envy that different distributive principles reliably ...

      Samko, Natasha Gabatsuyevna; Singh, Harpal (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-17)
      In this paper, we discuss the study of some signal processing problems within Bayesian frameworks and semigroups theory, in the case where the Banach space under consideration may be nonseparable. For applications, the suggested approach may be of interest in situations where approximation in the norm of the space is not possible. We describe the idea for the case of the abstract Cauchy problem ...
