Differences in local thing in their broadest senses, including policy barriers at the borders, nature and geography, and economic differences, contribute to its distinctiveness. Thus, this study reviews, discusses and re-concep...

We design trust games with partner selection, in which potential responders vary in social distance from the proposer, and the investment multiplier increases with social distance. The proposer can choose between the two trust games with the two different ...

The model shows how demand-side attributes—consumer attitudes on complex goods; training, education, and skills for consump...

vspace{0.2cm}In this paper, we design a data structure for the following problem. Let $pi$ be an $x$-monotone trajectory with $n$ vertices in the plane and $epsilon >0$. We show how to preprocess $pi$ and $epsilon$ into a data structure such that for any horizontal query segment $Q$ in the plane, one can quickly determine the minimal continuous fraction of $pi$ whose Fr{'e}chet and Hausdo...
