In most of the multi–criteria decision–analysis (MCDA) problems in which the Choquet integral is used as aggregation function, the coefficients of Choquet integral (capacity) are not known in advance. Actually, they could be calculated by capacity definition methods. In these methods, the preference information of decision maker (DM) is used to constitute a possible solution space. ...

| This paper considers the link capacity requirement for a N N mesh-torus network under a uniform all-to-all traÆc model. Both primary capacity and spare capacity for recovering from link failures are examined. In both cases, we use a novel method of \cuts on a graph" to obtain lower bounds on capacity requirements and subsequently nd algorithms for routing and failure recovery that meet these ...

This paper reports on investigations into the performance of a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) wireless communication system employing a uniform linear array (ULA) at the transmitter and either a uniform linear array (ULA) or a uniform circular array (UCA) antenna at the receiver. The transmitter is assumed to be surrounded by scattering objects while the receiver is postulated to be free...

In many applications, the Middleton Class-A model is used to describe the impulsive noise. A very useful and interesting aspect for a channel affected by such, non-Gaussian noise, is to find an expression for the channel capacity. In this paper we present the calculation of capacity for a channel affected by additive Middleton Class-A noise (AWCN), with binary input. We considered the case when...

I. Introduction The high prices for electricity in California during the summer of 2000 led to a substantial amount of regulatory and political intervention. Price caps were lowered and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) proposed that a new type of " soft-cap " auction be adopted to replace the uniform price auction. This auction combines a standard uniform price auction with a dis...

We present results from a series of experiments with human subjects at the University of Maryland Subjects participated as suppliers in an auction, each with the capacity to supply up to two units of a good, and bid to supply a portion of the buyer's fixed demand of 3 units. We study the performance of 3 different auction formats: (1) uniform-price one-part bid, (2) uniform-price two-part bid, ...
