We study Bayesian mechanism design in situations where agents’ information may be multi-dimensional, concentrating on mechanisms that lead to efficient allocations. Our main result is that a generalization of the well-known Vickrey-Clarke-Groves mechanism maximizes the planner’s “revenue” among all efficient mechanisms. This result is then used to study multiple object auctions in situations wh...

The experience with six patients managed conservatively following transverse partial flexor digitorum profundus tendon lacerations in zone 2 is presented. Four patients who were mobilized using elastic traction experienced n...

In this paper we characterise, in terms of the upper Dini derivative, when the Clarke subdiierential mapping of a real-valued locally Lipschitz function is a minimal weak cusco. We then use this characterisation to deduce some new results concerning Lips-chitz functions with minimal subdiierential mappings. In the papers 7] and 1], the authors investigate a class of locally Lipschitz functions ...

haphazard and inconclusive. There were other methodologic obstacles to be overcome as well, such as tissue hardening, sectioning, and staining, but imprecise experimentation was the great deterrent. Writing of the nineteenth century, that towering medical historian, Max Neuburger (1868-1955), stressed "In its efforts to attain precision, medical science...has achieved a 'rebuilding from the ver...

Using a geometric argument, we show that under a reasonable continuity condition, the Clarke subdifferential of a semi-algebraic (or more generally stratifiable) directionally Lipschitzian function admits a simple form: the normal cone to the domain and limits of gradients generate the entire Clarke subdifferential. The characterization formula we obtain unifies various apparently disparate res...
