Coalitionally strategy-proof rules in allotment economies with homogeneous indivisible goods

We consider the allotment problem of homogeneous indivisible goods among agents with single-peaked and risk-averse von NeumannMorgenstern expected utility functions. We establish that a rule satisfies coalitional strategy-proofness, same-sideness, and strong symmetry if and only if it is the uniform probabilistic rule. By constructing an example, we show that if same-sideness is replaced by res...

LIVE BANDWIDTH ALLOTMENT LBA-MAC PROTOCOL FOR MANETs

In this paper, the necessity to achieve a capable Medium Access Control protocol subject to bandwidth constraints is considered. As Medium Access Control has an important role on the bandwidth allotment, bandwidth efficiency is one of the main concept in the design of Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols for MANETs. Nodes are placed in an ad hoc manner, when transmitting the packets nodes will...

Factors Affecting Non-Personnel Budget Allotment at the Ministry of Education

Factors Affecting Non-Personnel Budget Allotment at the Ministry of Education A. Ansari, Ph.D.  Budget allotment to the non-personnel expenditures at the Ministry of Education (MOE) affects the quality of educational services that are rendered by this Ministry. According to Wagner's perspective, budget allotment should be proportional to the GNP and the increase in student popula...
