Degree sequence optimization and extremal degree enumerators

Discrete Applied Mathematics
The degree sequence optimization problem is to find a subgraph of a given graph which maximizes the sum of given functions evaluated at the subgraph degrees. Here we study this problem by replacing degree sequences, via suitable nonlinear transformations, by suitable degree enumerators, and we introduce suitable degree enumerator polytopes.

Multiplicative uncertainty, central bank transparency and optimal degree of conservativeness [PDF]

This paper extends the results of Kobayashi (2003) and Ciccarone and Marchetti (2009) by considering the optimal choice of central bank conservativeness. It is shown that the government can choose a sufficiently populist but opaque central banker so that

Index Calculus in Class Groups of Plane Curves of

, 2005
We present a novel index calculus algorithm for the discrete logarithm problem (DLP) in degree 0 class groups of curves over finite fields. A heuristic analysis of our algorithm indicates that asymptotically for varying q, “essentially all ” instances of

The Determinants of Educational Attainment, University Drop-out and Time-to-Degree. A focus on Italy [PDF]

In this paper we present important empirical evidence regarding the main factors that influence educational achievement at large. We then show the main issues which characterize the Italian university system, namely high drop-out rates and elapsed time ...

Interpreting Degree Effects in the Returns to Education [PDF]

Researchers often identify degree effects by including degree attainment (D) and years of schooling (S) in a wage model, yet the source of independent variation in these measures is not well understood.
