Competitiveness via Doubling

چکیده
It is not easy to formulate a precise, yet also general and elegant description of this method. In this expositary paper, we illustrate this method by discussing several applications where doubling is used, and these examples should be sufficient to elucidate the underlying idea. (This is not meant to be a comprehensive survey; we suspect that there are many more examples of doubling-based approximation algorithms in the literature.)

متن کاملThe impact of female sex hormones on competitiveness
We use fluctuations of female sex hormones occurring naturally over the menstrual cycle or induced by hormonal contraceptives to determine the importance of sex hormones in explaining gender differences in competitiveness. Participants in a laboratory experiment solve a simple arithmetics task first under a piece rate and then under a competitive tournament scheme. Subjects can then choose whic...
متن کاملSoftware Implementation of Binary Elliptic Curves: Impact of the Carry-Less Multiplier on Scalar Multiplication
The availability of a new carry-less multiplication instruction in the latest Intel desktop processors significantly accelerates multiplication in binary fields and hence presents the opportunity for reevaluating algorithms for binary field arithmetic and scalar multiplication over elliptic curves. We describe how to best employ this instruction in field multiplication and the effect on perform...
متن کاملThe dual theory of reduplication*
This article argues that the fundamental typological distinction pertaining to reduplication is that between phonological duplication and morphological doubling (the Dual Theory of reduplication). Phonological duplication, which occurs for a phonological purpose such as providing an onset or nucleus for a syllable or filling in the featural content of an otherwise unspecified timing unit in the...
متن کاملPro-competitive rationing in multi-unit auctions
In multi-unit auctions, such as auctions of commodities and securities, and financial exchanges, it is necessary to specify rationing rules to break ties between multiple marginal bids. The standard approach in the literature and in pratice is to ration marginal bids proportionally. This paper shows how bidding can be made more competitive if the rationing rule instead gives increasing priority...
