The article discusses the importance of two-way online rating systems as one of the pillars of the sharing-economy, transforming strangers into trustable providers and customers. The article ́s objective is to apply the concepts and practice based lens developed by Orlikowski and Scott (2014) to a two-way rating system by adding the provider evaluation of their clients. The article also explores...

A secret sharing scheme is non-perfect if some subsets of participants that cannot recover the secret value have partial information about it. The information ratio of a secret sharing scheme is the ratio between the maximum length of the shares and the length of the secret. This work is dedicated to the search of bounds on the information ratio of non-perfect secret sharing schemes. To this en...

Using the context of sharing economy accommodation in London, current research adopts a stakeholder causal scope approach, to explore conflictual relationships between guests, hosts, and locals support development effective conflict management strategies. The means-end chain analysis method is combined with critical incident technique investigate causes its consequences on value cocreated durin...

In this paper, we show that for any finite order entire function $f(z)$, the function of the form $f(z)^{n}[f(z+c)-f(z)]^{s}$ has no nonzero finite Picard exceptional value for all nonnegative integers $n, s$ satisfying $ngeq 3$, which can be viewed as a different result on Hayman conjecture. We also obtain some uniqueness theorems for difference polynomials of entire functions sharing one comm...

We consider a model of Cournot competition with congestion motivated by recent initiatives in wireless spectrum policy to allow commercial use of spectrum assigned to government agencies. A key feature of such spectrum is that it may be intermittently available due to the incumbent government user’s activity. In our model, wireless Service Providers (SPs) compete for a common pool of customers ...

In this paper, we discuss the problem of meromorphic functions sharing one value and obtain two theorems which improve a result of C.C.Yang and X.H.Hua.

Abstract. Concerning the uniqueness and sharing values of meromorphic functions, many results about meromorphic functions that share more than or equal to two values have been obtained. In this paper, we shall study meromorphic functions that share only one value, and prove the following result: For n ≥ 11 and two meromorphic functions f(z) and g(z) , if ff ′ and gg share the same nonzero and f...
