Motivated by many practical applications, in this paper we study budget feasible mechanisms where the goal is to procure independent sets from matroids. More specifically, we are given a matroid M = (E, I) where each ground (indivisible) element is a selfish agent. The cost of each element (i.e., for selling the item or performing a service) is only known to the element itself. There is a buyer...

We use two parameters for functions whose second (q, ?)-derivatives are bounded in order to prove several recent extensions of the Ostrowski inequality and its companion inequalities on ?)-Hahn difference operator. Furthermore, we procure some q-integral continuous as special cases main results well these generalizations. Symmetry plays an essential role determining correct methods solve dynami...

Correct diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias is one of the major problems in medical field. Cardiac arrhythmias can be early detected and diagnosed to prevent the occurrence of heart attack as well as the consequent deaths. An effective method for early detection of these arrhythmias, and thus to procure early treatment, is necessary. In this research we have applied artificial metaplasticity multi...

Government departments procure a large variety of products and services in or carryout its normal operational responsibilities and to implement various plan policies.

Most students change schools at some point in their academic careers, but some change very frequently and some schools experience a great deal of turnover. While many argue that mobility harms students, economists tend to emphasize Tiebout type moves to procure better school quality (SQ). This paper disentangles the disruption effects of moves from changes in SQ. Importantly, it identifies the ...
