Reallocation of an infinitely divisible good

چکیده
We consider the problem of reallocating the total initial endowments of an infinitely divisible commodity among agents with single-peaked preferences. With the uniform reallocation rule we propose a solution which satisfies many appealing properties, describing the effect of population and endowment variations on the outcome. The central properties which are studied in this context are population monotonicity, bilateral consistency, (endowment) monotonicity and (endowment) strategy-proofness. Furthermore, the uniform reallocation rule is Pareto optimal and satisfies several equity conditions, e.g., equal-treatment and envy-freeness. We study the trade-off between properties concerning variation and properties concerning equity. Furthermore, we provide several characterizations of the uniform reallocation rule based on these properties.

Modeling of Infinite Divisible Distributions Using Invariant and Equivariant Functions
Basu’s theorem is one of the most elegant results of classical statistics. Succinctly put, the theorem says: if T is a complete sufficient statistic for a family of probability measures, and V is an ancillary statistic, then T and V are independent. A very novel application of Basu’s theorem appears recently in proving the infinite divisibility of certain statistics. In addition ...
متن کاملOn the core of semi-infinite transportation games with divisible goods
The core of games arising from semi-infinite transportation situations with infinitely divisible goods is studied. In these situations one aims at maximizing the profit from transporting a good from a finite number of suppliers to an infinite number of demanders. This good is infinitely divisible. It is shown that the underlying primal and dual infinite programs have no duality gap. Further, th...
متن کاملInfinitely Divisible Cylindrical Measures on Banach Spaces
In this work infinitely divisible cylindrical probability measures on arbitrary Banach spaces are introduced. The class of infinitely divisible cylindrical probability measures is described in terms of their characteristics, a characterisation which is not known in general for infinitely divisible Radon measures on Banach spaces. Furthermore, continuity properties and the relation to infinitely...

We examine the problem of optimizing the reallocation and execution of divisible load originating in merent amounts at the sites of an interconnected set of heterogeneous processors characterized by their load computing speeds and II0 speeds. Each processor imposes, a priori, a hard deadline on its allocated task completion. The objective of load retasking and redistribution, which is implement...
متن کاملMarkov Processes with Infinitely Divisible Limit Distributions: Some Examples
J.BSTllCT A set of examples is described which suggests that members of a certain class of Markov processes have infinitely divisible limit distributions. A counter example rilles out such a possibility and raises the question of what further restrictions are required to guarantee infinitely divisible limits. Some related examples illustrate the same occurrence of infinitely divisible limit dis...
