Channel-Supermodular Entropies: Order Theory and an Application to Query Anonymization [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2021
This work introduces channel-supermodular entropies, a subset of quasi-concave entropies. Channel-supermodularity is a property shared by some of the most commonly used entropies in the literature, including Arimoto–Rényi conditional entropies (which ...

Information Inequalities via Submodularity and a Problem in Extremal Graph Theory [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2022
The present paper offers, in its first part, a unified approach for the derivation of families of inequalities for set functions which satisfy sub/supermodularity properties.

Near-Optimal Graph Signal Sampling by Pareto Optimization [PDF]

open access: yesSensors, 2021
In this paper, we focus on the bandlimited graph signal sampling problem. To sample graph signals, we need to find small-sized subset of nodes with the minimal optimal reconstruction error.

Approximating (mB,mP⁢)-Monotone BP Maximization and Extensions

open access: yesTsinghua Science and Technology, 2023
The paper proposes the optimization problem of maximizing the sum of suBmodular and suPermodular (BP) functions with partial monotonicity under a streaming fashion.

Supermodularity on chains and complexity of maximum constraint satisfaction [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2005
In the maximum constraint satisfaction problem ($\mathrm{Max \; CSP}$), one is given a finite collection of (possibly weighted) constraints on overlapping sets of variables, and the goal is to assign values from a given finite domain to the variables so ...

Does combining different types of innovation always improve SME performance? An analysis of innovation complementarity

open access: yesJournal of Innovation & Knowledge, 2022
Small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) sometimes introduce different types of innovation simultaneously. However, the performance implications of simultaneous innovation practices remain under-researched in the literature.

On the Size of Subclasses of Quasi-Copulas and Their Dedekind–MacNeille Completion

open access: yesMathematics, 2020
We study some topological properties of the class of supermodular n-quasi-copulas and check that the topological size of the Dedekind–MacNeille completion of the set of n-copulas is small, in terms of the Baire category, in the Dedekind–MacNeille ...

Greedy sensor selection based on QR factorization

open access: yesEURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing, 2021
We address the problem of selecting a given number of sensor nodes in wireless sensor networks where noise-corrupted linear measurements are collected at the selected nodes to estimate the unknown parameter.

Value Differentiation

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 2003
American agriculture is shifting from homogeneous commodities to differentiated products. Value differentiation, the process by which agrifood chain actors isolate, match, and exploit heterogeneity in consumer preferences and product attributes, is ...

Cooperative game analysis of a supply chain with one risk-neutral supplier and two risk-averse retailers

open access: yesJournal of Industrial Engineering and Management, 2014
Purpose: This paper considers a two-echelon supply chain composed of one risk-neutral supplier and two risk-averse retailers. The retailers obtain production from the supplier and sell them to the market.
