Therefore many species have developed strategies to lessen the chances that their food store will be r...
متن کاملRD-flatness and RD-injectivity
It is proved that every commutative ring whose RD-injective modules are Σ-RD-injective is the product of a pure semi-simple ring and a finite ring. A complete characterization of commutative rings for which each artinian (respectively simple) module is RD-injective, is given. These results can be obtained by using the properties of RD-flat modules and RD-coflat modules which are respectively th...

We propose a modified Vickrey auction based only on preferences over the possible bids. This approach also allows for situ...

Using a deal-making mechanism, agents are able to coordinate and cooperate more easily than in the communication-free mod...
