We characterize truthful mechanisms in two multi-parameter domains. The first characterization shows that every mechanism for combinatorial auctions with two subadditive bidders t...
Abstract. Let n be a positive integer and FA (n) be the free abelian latticeordered group on n generators. We prove that FA (m) and FA (n) do not satisfy the same first-order sente...
The Traverso-Swan theorem says that a reduced ring A is seminormal if and only if the natural homomorphism Pic A Pic A[X] is an isomorphism ([18, 17]). We give here all the detai...
A novel method for the estimation of a finite part of the impulse response is presented. The method is consistent in case the measured output data are prone to colored noise. The c...
In phylogenetic analysis, a standard problem is to approximate a given metric by an additive metric. Here it is shown that, given a metric D defined on some finite set X and a non...
