This paper studies how firms reorganize following diversification, proposing that firms use outsourcing, or vertical disintegration, to manage diseconomies of scope. We also consider the origins of scope diseconomies, showing how different underlying mechanisms generate contrasting predictions about the link between within-firm task heterogeneity and the incentive to outsource following diversi...

In this work, Voronoi diagrams, Fortune algorithm and diagrams in the Taxicab plane are investigated.

In this article, we make use of some known method to investigate some properties of the numbers represented as sums of two equal odd powers, i.e., the equation x + y = N for n ≥ 3. It was originated in developing algorithms to search new taxicab numbers (i.e., naturals that can be represented as a sum of positive cubes in many different ways) and to verify their minimality. We discuss propertie...

In this paper, we will define the inner-product and the norm in taxicab geometry and then we will discuss this inner-product geometrically.
