American scholar and literary translator Suzanne Jill Levine’s seminal monograph, The Subversive Scribe: Translating Latin Fiction (1991), furnishes prime examples of her active role durin...

In this lecture we will be looking into the secretary problem, and an interesting variation of the problem called the incentive comparable secretary problem. For both of these problems we will show how they can be solved though a correspondence between all possible strategies and the feasible solution space to a linear program. In both cases this will allow us to derive an algorithm and prove t...

In this lecture note, we describe some properties of convex sets and their connection with a more general model in topological spaces. In particular, we discuss Tverberg's theorem, Borsuk's conjecture and related problems. First we give some basic properties of convex sets in R d. a i is also in S. Definition 2. Convex hull of a set A, denoted by conv(A), is the set of all convex combination of...

In this paper, we propose a communication system that enables users to share experiences of web browsing in real-time. This system groups web users of each web page dynamically and enables them to share comments in each group. In general, high performance servers are required to manage a huge number of groups. In contrast, the proposed system does not need any server to realize large-scale comm...
