Focusing on information sharing, this paper considers the premium policy optimization of a pure (i.e., non-stock consideration) mutual insurance system with a homogeneo...

In this paper, we study the uniqueness problems of entire functions sharing one value with weight l (l = 0,1,2). The results in this paper improve the related results given by X.Y. Zhang and W.C. Lin, M.L. Fang, C.C. Yang and X.H. Hua, etc.

This study investigates these hypotheses in an experimental setting by conducting a series of auctions with an equal number of signals (estimates of the object’s value) but a varying number of bidders among whom those signals are concentrated. Specifically, two types of c...
