‎In this paper‎, ‎we study the Hölder continuity of solution mapping to a parametric variational inequality‎. ‎At first‎, ‎recalling a real-valued gap function of the problem‎, ‎we discuss the Lipschitz continuity of the gap function‎. ‎Then under the strong monotonicity‎, ‎we establish the Hölder continuity of the single-valued solution mapping for the problem‎. ‎Finally‎, ‎we apply these resu...

We consider the problem of budget feasible mechanism design proposed by Singer (2010), but in a Bayesian setting. A principal has a public value for hiring a subset of the agents and a budget, while the agents have private costs for being hired. We consider both additive and submodular value functions of the principal. We show that there are simple, practical, ex post budget balanced posted pri...

In this paper, we study a pair of fuzzy primal–dual linear programming problems and calculate duality results using an aspiration level approach. We use an exponential membership function, which is in contrast to the earlier works that relied on a linear membership function. As the fuzzy environment causes a duality gap, we investigate how choosing the exponential membership function impacts th...

We derive the effective superpotential for an N = 1 SU(Nc) gauge theory with one massless adjoint field and Nf massless fundamental flavors and cubic tree-level superpotential for the adjoint field. This is a generalization of the Affleck-Dine-Seiberg superpotential to gauge theories with one massless adjoint matter field. Using Kutasov’s generalization of Seiberg duality, we then find the effe...
