Narcissus andThe Lobster(Yorgos Lanthimos, 2015)

Economic Coordination , Bundled Goods , andthe

The allocation of a set of resources to a set of agents is studied. The agents may express preferences for complementary use of goods. It is assumed that the agents are self-interested. A procedure to compute fair, competitive prices is suggested. The prices may be used to elicit honest preference. This allows to solve the allocation problem optimally in most cases. Finally, the applicability o...

Narcissus: Visualising Information

It is becoming increasingly important that support is provided for users who are dealing with complex information spaces. The need is driven by the growing number of domains where there is a requirement for users to understand, navigate and manipulate large sets of computer based data; by the increasing size and complexity of this information and by the pressures to use this information efficie...

String Theory , Scale Relativity Andthe

Extensions (modiications) of the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle are derived within the framework of the theory of Special Scale-Relativity proposed by Nottale. In particular , generalizations of the Stringy Uncertainty Principle are obtained where the size of the strings is bounded by the Planck scale and the size of the Universe. Based on the fractal structures inherent with two dimensional ...

Eigenvalues of Graded Matrices andthe

abstract This paper concerns two closely related topics: the behavior of the eigenvalues of graded matrices and the perturbation of a nondefective multiple eigenvalue. We will show that the eigenvalues of a graded matrix tend to share the graded structure of the matrix and give precise conditions insuring that this tendency is realized. These results are then applied to show that the secants of...
