Individually Rational, Balanced-Budget Bayesian Mechanisms and the [PDF]

We investigate the issue of implementation via individually rational ex-post budget-balanced Bayesian mechanisms. We demonstrate that all social choice rules that generate a nonnegative ex-ante surplus, including ex-post efficient ones, can generically ...

Optimal Private Good Allocation: The Case for a Balanced Budget [PDF]

, 2012
In an independent private value auction environment, we are interested in strategy-proof mechanisms that maximize the agents' residual surplus, that is, the utility derived from the physical allocation minus transfers accruing to an external entity.

Optimal allocation in balanced sampling

The development of new sampling methods allows the selection of large balanced samples. In this paper we propose a method for computing optimal inclusion probabilities for balanced samples. Next, we show that the optimal Neyman allocation is a particular

Improvement of Container Dynamic Allocation for Automated Container Terminals in the Post-Epidemic Era

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
The significant congestion during the COVID-19 epidemic has prompted terminal managers to prioritize efforts to enhance daily operational efficiency in the post-epidemic era.

Hybrid profitability-aware PSO model with dissimilarity index for cost-efficient and balanced cloud resource allocation

Ain Shams Engineering Journal
An effective task scheduling of cloud computing systems would involve the trade-off between user-based and performance objectives of users and providers, given the heterogeneous and dynamic workloads.

Monotonic Stable Solutions for Minimum Coloring Games

For the class of minimum coloring games (introduced by Deng et al. (1999)) we investigate the existence of population monotonic allocation schemes (introduced by Sprumont (1990)).

Measuring Trends in Leisure: The Allocation of Time Over Five Decades [PDF]

In this paper, we use five decades of time-use surveys to document trends in the allocation of time. We find that a dramatic increase in leisure time lies behind the relatively stable number of market hours worked (per working-age adult) between 1965 and

Operations Research Games: A Survey

This paper surveys the research area of cooperative games associated with several types of operations research problems in which various decision makers (players) are involved.Cooperating players not only face a joint optimisation problem in trying, e.g.,

Steady state analysis of balanced-allocation routing

, 2008
We compare the long-term, steady-state performance of a variant of the standard Dynamic Alternative Routing (DAR) technique commonly used in telephone and ATM networks, to the performance of a path-selection algorithm based on the “balanced-allocation ...

Dominating Set Games

In this paper we study cooperative cost games arising from domination problems on graphs.We introduce three games to model the cost allocation problem and we derive a necessary and su cient condition for the balancedness of all three games.Furthermore we
