To our knowledge, however, no research has been conducted based on relationship marketing at the consumer-brand lev...

Traditional sequential patterns do not take into account contextual information associated with sequential data. For instance, when studying purchases of customers in a shop, a sequential pattern could be “frequently, customers buy products A and B at the same time, and then buy product C”. Such a pattern does not consider the age, the gender or the socio-professional category of customers. How...

A tree T is arbitrarily vertex decomposable if for any sequence τ of positive integers adding up to the order of T there is a sequence of vertexdisjoint subtrees of T whose orders are given by τ ; from a result by Barth and Fournier it follows that ∆(T ) ≤ 4. A necessary and a sufficient condition for being an arbitrarily vertex decomposable star-like tree have been exhibited. The conditions se...
