We consider generalized production functions, introduced in Zellner and Revankar (1969), for output y g( f ) where g is a monotonic function and f is a homogeneous production function. For various choices of the scale elasticity or returns to scale as a function of output, dierential equations are s

## Abstract This paper compares the performance of eight frequently used flexible forms that are either (1) locally flexible, (2) βeffectively globally regularβ, or (3) asymptotically globally flexible. Results show that the functions with global properties generally perform better, particularly th
Incremental sheet metal forming is becoming an attractive technology for fast prototyping and small batch production of sheet metal parts. The majority of investigations are focused on the use of a rigid tool to incrementally form the sheet metal into a final shape. An interesting alternative is to
