Brother trees were proposed, by some of the authors of the present article, as a balanced tree scheme for the implementation of dictionaries (data structures which support the operations of membership testing, deletion and insertion). A brother tree is defined as a rooted, directed tree satisfying the following three conditions: (1) each internal node ...

Cost-minimizing risk adjustment
Journal of Health Economics, 2002Conventional risk adjustment, which sets capitation payments equal to the average cost of individuals with similar observable characteristics, is not optimal if health plans can use private information to select low-cost enrollees. "Cost-minimizing risk adjustment" minimizes the sum of capitated HMO premiums plus FFS costs by balancing the gains from ...

To the Editor. —At a time when escalation of medical costs is causing increasing public and private concern, I must applaud the publication of studies aimed to show that a less costly or more efficient method of providing treatment is fully satisfactory.

In an economy of hyperinflation it becomes imperative for business firms, large or small, to gain control over their costs. Even a slight increase in costs; i.e., costs as a percent of sales, can spell the difference between solvency and bankruptcy. The literature in the field has cast but a cursory glance at specific cost minimization.

Minimal Cost Cut Equivalent Networks
Management Science, 1973This paper is concerned with the following problem in network synthesis. Suppose that we are given a network with real-valued capacities on each arc. There is a cost associated with each arc which is proportional to the magnitude of the arc capacity. We wish to determine new arc capacities such that the capacity of each cut in the new network differs ...

In order to be effective teachers, we need to motivate our students, which means we need to know how they respond to incentives. Are they output-maximizers and early success encourages them to work harder for the greater reward? Or are they cost-minimizers and early success tells them they can put in less effort and still succeed?

Minimizing the deep coalescence cost
Journal of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, 2018Metagenomic studies identify the species present in an environmental sample usually by using procedures that match molecular sequences, e.g. genes, with the species taxonomy. Here, we first formulate the problem of gene-species matching in the parsimony framework using binary phylogenetic gene and species trees under the deep coalescence cost and the ...

Abstract A realistic representation of the policymaker’s objective function implies a trade-off between the minimization of the expected cost of debt servicing and the minimization of budgetary risk. Implications of the implicit-contingent approach reviewed in Chapter 5 follow from a specification of this trade-off which gives all the
