While Jorge Guillén needs no introduction to those interested in contemporary Spanish poetry, Juan Gil-Albert has remained largely unknown outside of Spain until fairly recently. In the past ten years he has received increased critical recognition, and in 1984 was honored in an homage dedicated to him. He has become recognized as a principal proponent of Mediterranean culture • Gil-Albert's emp...

In this article we explore an alternative factorial decomposition for Atkinson indices and taking Sala−i−Martin’s (2002) article “The Disturbing 'Rise' of Global Income Inequality” as a reference, the possibilities of Atkinson indices are shown in regard to completing and detailing information in studies of inequality among populations and populations subgroups. The results which appear in this...

Wireless networks are often modelled using geometric graphs. Using only local geometric information to compute a sequence of distributed forwarding decisions that send a message to its destination, routing algorithms can succeed on several common classes of geometric graphs. These graphs’ geometric properties provide navigational cues that allow routing to succeed using only limited local infor...

We study a model where student effort and talent interact with parental and teachers’ investments, as well as with school system resources. The model is rich, yet sufficiently stylized to provide novel implications. We can show, for example, that an improvement in parental outside options will reduce parental and school effort, which are partially compensated through school resources. In this w...

Various classes of distance metrics between two point process realizations observed on a common metric space are outlined. Examples include spike-time distance and its variants, proposed by Victor and Purpura (1997), and this list is extended to include cluster-based distances and distances based on classical statistical summaries of point patterns, such as the K-function or LISA functions.
