2015 49th Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers, 2015
To study signals on networks, to detect epidemics, or to predict blackouts, we need to understand network topology and its impact on the behavior of network processes.

Aggregation and Individual Preferences

1984
The problems to be discussed in this chapter are less, tangible than those of the preceding chapters. Production is measurable and although the total output of an economy exists of a large variety of goods it is common practice to speak of the increase of the volume of production. Hence, in aggregating production functions one can attach some empirical

Quasi-transitive Individual Preferences

2019
This chapter is concerned with the class of neutral and monotonic binary social decision rules and some of its subclasses when individual weak preference relations are reflexive, connected and quasi-transitive rather than orderings. Given that the domain consists of all logically possible profiles of individual reflexive, connected and quasi-transitive
