From Reduction-based to Reduction-free Normalization [PDF]

, 2004
We present a systematic construction of a reduction-free normalization function. Starting from a reduction-based normalization function, i.e., the transitive closure of a one-step reduction function, we successively subject it to refocusing (i.e ...

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

Networks, 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.

Topics in computational group theory : primitive permutation groups and matrix group normalisers [PDF]

, 2012
Part I of this thesis presents methods for finding the primitive permutation groups of degree d, where 2500 ≤ d < 4096, using the O'Nan-Scott Theorem and Aschbacher's theorem. Tables of the groups G are given for each O'Nan-Scott class.

An improved algorithm for transitive closure on acyclic digraphs [PDF]

, 1988
In [6] Goralćíková and Koubek describe an algorithm for finding the transitive closure of an acyclic digraph G with worst-case runtime O(n·ered), where n is the number of nodes and ered is the number of edges in the transitive reduction of G.

Exploratory Analysis of Sustainable Consumption and Production Factors in Services: Insights From Four Case Studies Using Interpretive Structural Modeling

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how 14 sustainable consumption and production (SCP) factors interact across four service categories—Mass Service, Professional Service, Service Factory, and Service Shop—using interpretive structural modeling (ISM). ISM enables the identification and hierarchical classification of interdependencies among SCP factors in ...

The Poverty Reduction Capacity of Private and Public Transfers in Transition [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2010
The transitional economies of the Former Soviet Union (FSU) have enjoyed an extraordinary period of growth and poverty reduction between 2000 and 2007 and this occurred in concomitance with significant increases in private and public transfers to households.

Decreasing graph complexity with transitive reduction to improve temporal graph classification [PDF]

International audienceDomains such as bioinformatics, social network analysis, and computer vision, describe relations between entities and cannot be interpreted as vectors or fixed grids. Instead, they are naturally represented by graphs.

Extending Structured Dialogic Design With Multi‐Criteria Evaluation: Toward Sustainable Multi‐Species Governance

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents an innovative integration of structured democratic dialogue with a multi‐criteria evaluation step designed to strengthen participatory decision‐making for complex socio‐ecological challenges. Conducted virtually with Communities of Practice focused on multi‐species governance, the process combined systemic mapping of ...

Social network dynamics under experimental manipulations of predation risk and food abundance in wild rock hyraxes

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study combines replicated experimental manipulation, social network analysis, network permutations and meta‐analysis to disentangle active from spatially‐induced changes in animal network structure in the wild. It reveals that short‐term environmental changes primarily alter space use, with limited effects on social structure.

Untested Feasibility as Progressive Performativity: Towards a Desirable Future Through Transformative Responsible Management Education

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.
Abstract The call for transformation in Management Education (ME) has intensified amid global crises, including the climate emergency, social inequality, and recurrent corporate misconduct. While Responsible Management Education (RME) has emerged in response to these challenges, it often struggles to move beyond symbolic gestures towards substantive ...
