Amenability Constants for Unconditional Sums of Banach Algebras

open access: yesMathematische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study Johnson amenability for unconditional direct sums of Banach algebras. Given a family (Ai)i∈I$(A_i)_{i\in I}$ of Banach algebras and a Banach sequence lattice E$E$ on I$I$, the E$E$‐sum ⨁i∈IAiE${\bigl (\bigoplus _{i\in I} A_i\bigr)}_{\!E}$ carries a natural Banach algebra structure via coordinatewise multiplication.

Allocation of Indivisible Items With a Common Preference Graph: Minimizing Total Dissatisfaction

open access: yesNetworks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Allocating indivisible items among a set of agents is a frequently studied discrete optimization problem. In the setting considered in this work, the agents' preferences over the items are assumed to be identical. We consider a very recent measure for the overall quality of an allocation which does not rely on numerical valuations of the items.
