GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Social Sciences - Mathematics & Statistics / equations
Spanish term or phrase: d.o.m.
d.o.m. stands for "de otra manera." It appears in the second line of an equation. Since I cannot paste it here, I will describe it.

It starts with "R" followed by lower case "it" followed by "="
The top line of the equation has a variety of symbols
The second line is "0,d.o.m." The d.o.m. is in italics.

I have done an internet search and cannot find a definition. I would very grateful for your help.

otherwise
Explanation:
First line defines the rent from entity i over time t when a particular quantity theta is >0. The second says the rent is zero otherwise (ie when theta <=0).

"elsewhere" often works also.

This equation is good, too. And some would prefer it. But your teacher probably wants something the "looks" like the classic exponential equation. IOW:
