When Is Multidimensional Screening a Convex
A principal wishes to transact business with a multidimensional distribution of agents whose preferences are known only in the aggregate. Assuming a twist (= generalized Spence-Mirrlees single-crossing) hypothesis, quasi-linear utilities, and that agents can choose only pure strategies, we identify a structural condition on the value b(x, y) of product type y to agent type x — and on the princi...
متن کاملWhen Is a Set of Lines in Space Convex?
The Definition of a Convex Set In Rd, a set S of points is convex if the line segment joining any two points of S lies completely within S (Figure 1). The purpose of this article is to describe a recent extension of this concept of convexity to the Grassmannian and to discuss its connection with some other ideas in geometry. More specifically, the extension is to the so-called “affine Grassmann...
متن کاملA case when the union of polytopes is convex
We present a necessary and sufficient condition for the union of a finite number of convex polytopes in Rd to be convex. This generalises two theorems on convexity of the union of convex polytopes due to Bemporad et al. © 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

متن کاملWhen every $P$-flat ideal is flat
In this paper, we study the class of rings in which every $P$-flat ideal is flat and which will be called $PFF$-rings. In particular, Von Neumann regular rings, hereditary rings, semi-hereditary ring, PID and arithmetical rings are examples of $PFF$-rings. In the context domain, this notion coincide with Pr"{u}fer domain. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for...
متن کاملConsistency of Multidimensional Convex Regression
Convex regression is concerned with computing the best fit of a convex function to a data set of n observations in which the independent variable is (possibly) multi–dimensional. Such regression problems arise in operations research, economics, and other disciplines in which imposing a convexity constraint on the regression function is natural. This paper studies a least squares estimator that ...
