The majority of the literature concerned with residential auctions has examined whether houses sell at lower or higher prices in comparison with a private treaty negotiated sale. A number of studies have shown, both theoretically and empirically, that auctioned properties should not sell at a premium in comparison to private treaty sales. Mayer (1994) argues that as private sellers can wait lon...

We say that a countable linear ordering L is countably complementable if there exists a linear ordering L, possibly uncountable, such that for any countable linear ordering B, L does not embed into B if and only if B embeds into L. We characterize the linear orderings which are countably complementable. We also show that this property is equivalent to the countable version of the finitely faith...

Let T : C(S) → C(S) be a bounded linear operator. We present a necessary and sufficient condition for the so-called Daugavet equation ‖Id+ T ‖ = 1 + ‖T ‖ to hold, and we apply it to weakly compact operators and to operators factoring through c0. Thus we obtain very simple proofs of results by Foiaş, Singer, Pe lczyński, Holub and others. If E is a real Banach space, let us say that an operator ...
