EU Space Law and Earth's Boundaries: Integrating Environmental Impact Assessment and Corporate Due Diligence

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The European Union's proposed Space Law aims to establish a unified approach for sustainable space activities across the EU. While the EU's satellite constellations contribute to sustainability efforts, they can also have negative environmental impacts.

The Secretary Problem with Optimal Assignment

Operations Research, 1984
We consider the secretary problem with assignment of the applicants to m positions to be staffed in order to maximize the probability that we select only the m best, and assign the kth best to the kth position. A simple strategy is proposed. Although the optimal strategies for m = 1, 2 are known to be simple, we show that the optimal strategy for m ...

Matroid Secretary Problems

Journal of the ACM, 2018
We define a generalization of the classical secretary problem called the matroid secretary problem . In this problem, the elements of a matroid are presented to an online algorithm in uniformly random order. When an element arrives, the algorithm observes its value and must make an irrevocable decision whether or ...

On a Competitive Secretary Problem

Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2015
Consider a scenario in which there are multiple employers competing to hire the best possible employee. How does the competition between the employers affect their hiring strategies or their ability to hire one of the best possible candidates?

The Secretary Problem with Reservation Costs

2021
We introduce two variants of the secretary problem, where a reservation fee can be paid to keep candidates on a short-list instead of rejecting them on the spot. In the first model, the fee has to be paid only once and keeps the reservation forever. In the second model, the fee has to be paid in every round as long as the reservation is kept.

On Multiple Choice Secretary Problems

Mathematics of Operations Research, 1994
Two secretary problems based on relative rank are considered, in which the decision maker has any fixed number of choices. In the first the payoff depends in an arbitrary way on acquisitions of ranks 1 and 2; in the second the aim is to maximise the probability of obtaining the best 3 objects.

A generalized secretary problem [PDF]

open access: possibleSequential Analysis, 2016
ABSTRACTA new secretary problem is considered, where for fixed k and m one wins if at some time i = m(j − 1) +1 up to jm one selects one of the j best items among the first jm items, j = 1,…, k. Selection is based on relative ranks only. Interest lies in small k values, such as k = 2 or 3.

Interview Costs in the Secretary Problem

Australian & New Zealand Journal of Statistics, 1998
The effect of interview costs on the optimal selection strategy and on the chance of success in secretary problems with order k selection rules, both for a finite number of applicants and in the limiting case, is examined. Probabilistic reasoning is used and numerical examples given.

The Secretary Problem with a Choice Function

2015
In the classical secretary problem, a decision-maker is willing to hire the best secretary out of n applicants that arrive in a random order, and the goal is to maximize the probability of choosing the best applicant. In this paper, we introduce the secretary problem with a choice function.
