Mathematical Properties on the Hyperbolicity of Interval Graphs
Gromov hyperbolicity is an interesting geometric property, and so it is natural to study it in the context of geometric graphs. In particular, we are interested in interval and indifference graphs, which are important classes of intersection and ...

Mitigating the seductive details effect by topic and irrelevance signals
Abstract Background Seductive details (interesting digressions in learning materials) are often integrated into learning units to make them more appealing to learners. However, studies indicate that this tends to overload students cognitively and impairs their learning performance. Aims The present study investigated whether these negative consequences

Testing the Value Function of the Prospect Theory on Russian M&A Market
: The article is devoted to the empirical implementation of the prospect theory. The subject is a value function graph. The graph itself was never been plotted on a real empirical data. In this paper a real market situation is considered.

An extension of the basic local independence model to multiple observed classifications
Abstract The basic local independence model (BLIM) is appropriate in situations where populations do not differ in the probabilities of the knowledge states and the probabilities of careless errors and lucky guesses of the items. In some situations, this is not the case. This work introduces the multiple observed classification local independence model

On the Multidimensional Stable Marriage Problem [PDF]
We provide a problem definition of the stable marriage problem for a general number of parties $p$ under a natural preference scheme in which each person has simple lists for the other parties.

The effects of need‐based financial aid on educational decisions and outcomes: Evidence from Canada
Abstract Using administrative data from Canada, this paper presents new evidence on the causal effects of a large‐scale need‐based financial aid program on undergraduate students' educational decisions and outcomes, including the understudied institution and major choices.

Decision aid problems criteria for infrastructure networks vulnerability analysis (regular paper) [PDF]
Natural disasters through infrastructure networks might aggravate or mitigate consequences to stakes. The objective of this paper is to characterize this kind of situation in order to provide a solid foundation for the decision aid. This characterization

Upper Bounds for the Total Chromatic Number of Join Graphs and Cobipartite Graphs
We concern ourselves with the combinatorial optimisation problem of determining a minimum total colouring of a graph G for the case wherein G is a join graph G = G1 ∗G2 or a cobipartite graph G = (V1 ∪V2,E(G)).

Climate shocks, democratization and (a culture of) cooperation
Abstract While the direct economic effects of adverse climate shocks are well known, their indirect institutional impact is still poorly understood. To clarify this, we test the idea that adverse climate shocks push time‐inconsistent elites to enact inclusive political institutions, and non‐elites to embrace strong norms of cooperation.
