This annotated bibliography is taking shape as a by product of my quest to review the Recommender Systems area in the light of Mechanism Design Theory. It will reference and annotate the relevant literature from the areas of collaborative filtering, recommender systems, social choice, game theory and mechanism design.

Choice-based models are proposed to overcome some of the limitations found in traditional rating-based strategies. The new approach is grounded on decision-making paradigms, such as choice and utility theories. Specifically, random utility models were applied in a recommendation problem. Prediction accuracy was compared with state-of-art ratingbased algorithms in a gastronomy dataset. The resul...

We study the penguin induced transition b → s γ in the minimal N=1 supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model with radiative breaking of the electroweak group. We include the effects of one-loop corrections to the Higgs potential and scalar masses. We show that the present upper and lower experimental limits on the inclusive decay sharply constrain the parameter space of the model in a wide...

Due to wide applications of BCH codes, the determination of their minimum distance is of great interest. However, this is a very challenging problem for which few theoretical results have been reported in the last four decades. Even for the narrow-sense primitive BCH codes, which form the most well-studied subclass of BCH codes, there are very few theoretical results on the minimum distance. In...

The two main cooperative protocols in WLANs are the orthogonal and non-orthogonal ones. We consider this two different cooperative protocols with the amplify-andforward (AF) and decode-and-forward (DF) strategies. In each case, we study the information theoretic performance. Simulation results show that the non-orthogonal cooperative protocol achieves an optimal performance than the orthogonal ...

A Gross space is a vector space E of infinite dimension over some field F , which is endowed with a symmetric bilinear form Φ : E → F and has the property that every infinite dimensional subspace U ⊆ E satisfies dimU < dimE. Gross spaces over uncountable fields exist (in certain dimensions) (see [G/O]). The existence of a Gross space over countable or finite fields (in a fixed dimension not abo...
