Non-traditional uncertainty models, however, run counter to this criticism by enabling the solution of problems that defy an appropriate treatment with traditional probabilistic computations due to non-frequentative characteristics, a lack of available information, or subjective influences.
But now it is mired in a tangle of complex problems that defy easy solutions: a price war in the American market in which rivals are all bolstering their sales with billions of dollars worth of incentives to consumers; a slowdown in the American car market as a whole; an almost complete replacement of the executives who were responsible for Chrysler's success; and a demoralized work force.

Dissipative vehicle exhaust silencers often have cross-sectional geometries that defy straightforward analytical solution of the acoustic eigenproblem; some kind of solution is, however, required as a part of the basis for computational silencer design methods.
I see no benefit for a government that still proclaims that it has an interest in a two-state solution to be supporting activities on the ground that defy the prospect of that actually happening," Rogers said.
