1. Introduction. SVO, SOV, VSO and VOS are all well-attested basic word orders in different languages. It is not clear however how to formally motivate why this type of variation at the base exists. In this paper, I intend to look at unmarked word orders in different languages and explain why there is variation at the base. I will propose an analysis within Optimality Theory (Prince and Smolens...

This paper uses unique audit trail data to evaluate execution costs and price impact for all NYSE order types: system orders as well as all types of floor orders. Almost 50 percent of market order volume and floor broker volume in the sample receives price improvement. Prices move significantly in the direction of the trade before the execution of ITS orders, marketable limit orders, and floor ...

In this paper, the orders induced by the residual implications obtained from uninorms are investigated. A necessary and sufficient condition is presented so that the ordinal sum of fuzzy implications satisfies the law of importation with a t-norm $T$. Some relationships between the orders induced by an ordinal sum implication and its summands are determined. The algebraic structures obtained fr...

Abstract We explore the relationship between weighted path orders and (monotonic) semantic orders. Our findings reveal that can be considered instances of a variant comprise order pairs. This observation leads to generalization does not impose simplicity on their underlying algebras. As result, generalized version is capable proving termination term rewrite systems beyond realm simple terminati...

I survey classification results for countable homogeneous or ‘partially homogeneous’ ordered structures. This includes some account of Schmerl’s classification of the countable homogeneous partial orders, outlining an extension of this to the coloured case, and also treating results on linear orders, and their generalizations, trees and cycle-free partial orders. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classi...

Let α be a Zd–action (d ≥ 2) by automorphisms of a compact metric abelian group. For any non–linear shape I ⊂ Zd, there is an α with the property that I is a minimal mixing shape for α. The only implications of the form “I is a mixing shape for α =⇒ J is a mixing shape for α” are trivial ones for which I contains a translate of J . If all shapes are mixing for α, then α is mixing of all orders....
