A Note on Third-degree Price Discrimination

C. Pigou, [1920]). In particular, these authors adopted a representative consumer approach (by assuming quasi-linear preferences) and used revealed-preference arguments. En passant, their ...

A Note on a Problem Posed by D . E . Knuth

We resolve a conjecture proposed by D.E. Knuth concerning a recurrence arising in the satisfiability problem. Knuth’s recurrence resembles recurrences arising in the analysis of tries, in particular PATRICIA tries, and asymmetric leader election. We solve Knuth’s recurrence exactly and asymptotically, using analytic techniques such as the Mellin transform and analytic depoissonization.
