orphan date August 2010 cleanup date July 2010 In economics , elasticity economics elasticity is the ratio of the percent change in one variable to the percent change in another variable. Computational elasticity is the application of this concept to how computer systems scale with relation to temporal & monetary costs. The concept of computational elasticity is a particularly useful concept for comparing cloud computing platforms with relation to costs. An example question where the concept of computational elasticity is useful might include If the number of users on my website expands from 100 day to 1000000 day over the course of the next week, what will the cost be to ensure a fast page load? Cost is a function of the infrastructure the site runs on, which in turn is heavily influenced by the computational elasticity of the infrastructure. Infrastructure capable of rapidly accommodating this rapid increase in required computing power at low monetary & temporal cost has a high computational elasticity. Infrastructure that will require significant costs to handle this increase in required computing power has a low computational elasticity. Category Elasticity economics ... more details

Energy elasticity is a term used with reference to the energy intensity of Gross Domestic Product . It is the percentage change in energy consumption to achieve one per cent change in national GDP . This term has been used when describing sustainable growth in the developing world, while being aware of the need to maintain the security of energy supply and constrain the emission of additional greenhouse gas es. Energy elasticity is a top line measure, as the commercial energy sources used by the country in question are normally further itemised as fossil, renewable, etc. For example, India s national Integrated Energy policy Energy Policy of 2005 noted current elasticity at 0.80, while planning for 7 8 GDP growth.

Unreferenced date October 2006 Rubber elasticity , a well known example of Hyperelastic material hyperelasticity , describes the mechanical behavior of many polymers, especially those with crosslinking. Invoking the theory of rubber elasticity, one considers a polymer chain in a crosslinked network as an entropic spring. When the chain is stretched, the entropy is reduced by a large margin because there are fewer conformations available. Therefore, there is a restoring force, which causes the polymer chain to return to its equilibrium or unstretched state, such as a high entropy random coil configuration, once the external force is removed. This is the reason why rubber bands return to their original state. Two common models for rubber elasticity are the freely jointed chain model and the worm like chain model. Freely Jointed Chain Model Polymers can be modeled as freely jointed chains with one fixed end and one free end FJC model Image FJCpolymersmall.JPG frame right Model of the freely jointed chain where math b , math is the length of a rigid segment, math n , math is the number of segments of length math b , math , math r , math is the distance between the fixed and free ends, and math L c , math is the contour length or math nb , math .

If every single less significant bit is included in the update of every bit in the state, such a T function is called triangular . Thanks to their bijectivity no collisions, therefore no entropy loss regardless of the used Boolean function s and regardless of the selection of inputs as long as they all come from one side of the output bit , T functions are now widely used in cryptography to construct block cipher s, stream cipher s, PRNG s and cryptographic hash function hash functions . T functions were first proposed in 2002 by Alexander Klimov A. Klimov and Adi Shamir A. Shamir in their paper A New Class of Invertible Mappings . Ciphers such as TSC 1 , TSC 3 , TSC 4 , ABC stream cipher ABC , Mir 1 and VEST are built with different types of T functions. Because arithmetic operation s such as addition , subtraction and multiplication are also T functions triangular T functions , software efficient word based T functions can be constructed by combining bitwise logic with arithmetic operations. Another important property of T functions based on arithmetic operations is predictability of their period mathematics period , which is highly attractive to cryptographers.

This is the approach taken in the definition of point price elasticity, which uses differential calculus to calculate the elasticity for an infinitesimal change in price and quantity at any ... differential calculus, point price elasticity of demand can be defined as follows ref Mas Colell ...,x L math as a function of parameters price and wealth, and let math displaystyle x l p,w math be the demand for good math displaystyle l math . The elasticity of demand for good math displaystyle ... cdot frac p k x l p,w frac partial log x l p,w partial log p k math However, the point price elasticity ... more details
Elasticity of intertemporal substitution or intertemporal elasticity of substitution is a measure of responsiveness of the Economic growth growth rate of consumption economics consumption to the real interest rate . ref http www.jstor.org pss 1833112 Robert Hall, JPE ref If the real rate rises, future consumption may increase due to increased return on savings but future consumption may also decline as the saver decides to save less given that he can get a higher return on what he does save. The net effect on future consumption is the elasticity of intertemporal substitution. Mathematical definition The definition depends on whether one is working in discrete or continuous time. We will see that for Risk aversion CRRA utility, the two approaches yield the same answer. The below functional forms assume that utility from consumption is time additively separable. Discrete time Total lifetime utility is given by math U sum t 0 T beta t u c t math In this setting, the real interest rate will be given ... 1.05. The elasticity of intertemporal substitution is defined as the percent change in consumption ... By substituting in our log equation above, we can see that this definition is equivalent to the elasticity ... c t u c t u c t frac c t u c t math then the elasticity of intertemporal substitution is defined as math ... t math If the utility function math u c math is of the Constant Relative Risk Aversion CRRA type math ... then the intertemporal elasticity of substitution is given by math frac 1 theta math . In general, a low value of theta high intertemporal elasticity means that consumption growth is very sensitive to changes .... Ramsey Growth model In the Ramsey growth model , the elasticity of intertemporal substitution determines .... If the elasticity is high then large changes in consumption are not very costly to consumers .... If the elasticity is low the consumption smoothing motive is very strong and because of this consumers ... of the elasticity vary. Part of the difficulty stems from the fact that microeconomic studies ... more details
In mathematical economics , an isoelastic function , sometimes constant elasticityfunction , is a function that exhibits a constant elasticity economics elasticity , i.e. has a constant Elasticity Coefficient elasticity coefficient . The elasticity is the ratio of the percentage change in the dependent variable to the percentage causative change in the independent variable , in the limit as the changes approach zero in magnitude. For an elasticity coefficient math r math which can take on any real value , the function s general form is given by math f x k x r , math where math k math and math r math are constants. The elasticity is by definition math text elasticity frac partial f x partial x frac x f x frac partial text ln f x partial text ln x , math which for this function simply equals r . Examples Demand functions An example in microeconomics is the constant elasticity demand curve demand function , in which x is the price of a product and f x is the resulting quantity demanded by consumers. For most goods the elasticity r the responsiveness of quantity demanded to price is negative, so it can be convenient to write the constant elasticity demand function with a negative sign ... elasticityfunction is also used in the theory of choice under risk aversion , which usually assumes that risk averse decision makers maximize the expected value of a Concave function concave von Neumann Morgenstern utility function . In this context, with a Isoelastic utility constant elasticity ... s wealth. The constant elasticity utility function in this context is generally written as math U x frac 1 1 gamma x 1 gamma math where x is wealth and math 1 gamma math is the elasticity, with math ... with risk aversion approaching infinity as math gamma math .
