Abstract According to popular scholarly consensus, the role of classical prophets ceased following rebuilding Jerusalem during Second Temple period. This paper will attempt propose an explanation 1 Maccabees’ comments about cessation prophecy by undertaking a careful and broad examination dynamics involved in Hebrew Bible’s final chronological confrontation between prophet religious leader Isra...

similar to any poetic genre, eulogy of the prophet (pbuh) has progressed through various stages and experienced vicissitudes of history. the genre was first developed by such great poets as ka’b bin zuhayr and hassan ibn th?bit, and continued to survive inspired by the holy qur’an and the prophet’s tradition. the period of decadence (the mongol, mam?l?k, and ottoman empires) was the heyday of t...

Let Xn, . . . , X1 be i.i.d. random variables with distribution function F and finite expectation. A statistician, knowing F , observes the X values sequentially and is given two chances to choose X’s using stopping rules. The statistician’s goal is to select a value of X as large as possible. Let V 2 n equal the expectation of the larger of the two values chosen by the statistician when procee...

We present a general framework for proving combinatorial prophet inequalities and con-structing posted-price mechanisms. Our framework applies to stochastic welfare optimizationproblems, in which buyers arrive sequentially and make utility-maximizing purchases. Our anal-ysis takes the form of an extension theorem: we derive sufficient conditions for achieving welfarebounds i...

The secretary and the prophet inequality problems are central to the field of Stopping Theory. Recently, there has been a lot of work in generalizing these models to multiple items because of their applications in mechanism design. The most important of these generalizations are to matroids and to combinatorial auctions (extends bipartite matching). Kleinberg-Weinberg [KW12] and Feldman et al. ...
