Floating Charges Over Book Debts

Solving Constraints over Floating-Point Numbers

This paper introduces a new framework for tackling constraints over the floating-point numbers. An important application area where such solvers are required is program analysis (e.g., structural test case generation, correctness proof of numeric operations). Albeit the floating-point numbers are a finite subset of the real numbers, classical CSP techniques are ineffective due to the huge size ...

The debts' clearing problem: a new approach

The debts’ clearing problem is about clearing all the debts in a group of n entities (e.g. persons, companies) using a minimal number of money transaction operations. In our previous works we studied the problem, gave a dynamic programming solution solving it and proved that it is NP-hard. In this paper we adapt the problem to dynamic graphs and give a data structure to solve it. Based on this ...

The Moral Obligations of Some Debts

If given the opportunity to reduce your debt, albeit at some financial risk, would you take it? Interviews and observations in two debt settlement firms show that debt settlement clients tend not to calculate financial risks in deciding which debts to try to settle. Rather, they treat their relationship with their creditor as a reciprocal and ongoing one. If the service provided by their credit...
