Within the last decade, kidney exchange has become a mainstream paradigm to increase the number of transplants. However, compatible pairs do not participate, and the full benefits from exchange can be realized only if they do. In this paper, we propose a new scheme, incentivizing participation of compatible pairs in exchange via insurance for a future renal failure in the patient. Efficiency an...

Explicit solutions to the equations of equilibrium in the theory of the elastic rod model for DNA are employed to develop a procedure for finding the configuration that minimizes the elastic energy of a minicircle in a mononucleosome with specified values of the minicircle size N in base pairs, the extent w of wrapping of DNA about the histone core particle, the helical repeat h(0)b of the boun...

We solve the problem of description for nonsingular pairs of compatible flat metrics in the general N -component case. The integrable nonlinear partial differential equations describing all nonsingular pairs of compatible flat metrics (or, in other words, nonsingular flat pencils of metrics) are found and integrated. The integrating of these equations is based on reducing to a special nonlinear...

A LieYRep pair consists of a Lie-Yamaguti algebra and its representation. In this paper, we establish the cohomology theory pairs characterize their linear deformations by second group. Then introduce notion relative Rota-Baxter-Nijenhuis structures on pairs, investigate properties, prove that structure gives rise to compatible Rota-Baxter operators under certain condition. Finally, show equiva...

The aim of this paper is to prove a common fixed point theorem for two pairs of self mappings in a cone metric space without assuming the normality of cone. Here we consider one pair of compatible mappings of type (R) and another pair of weakly compatible. Our results extend and modify the result of [11] and generalise many other results in the literature. −−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−

Partial words are sequences over a finite alphabet that may have holes that match, or are compatible with, all letters in the alphabet; partial words without holes are simply words. Given a partial word w, we denote by subw(n) the set of subwords of w of length n, i.e., words over the alphabet that are compatible with factors of w of length n. We call a set S of words h-representable if S = sub...

This is the first paper in a series to study vertex algebra-like objects arising from infinite-dimensional quantum groups (quantum affine algebras and Yangians). In this paper we lay a foundation for this study. We formulate and study notions of quasi module and S-quasi module for a G1-vertex algebra V , where S is a quantum Yang-Baxter operator on V . We also formulate and study a notion of qu...

We give a necessary and su¢ cient condition for a bounded involution lattice to be isomorphic to the direct square of its invariant part. This result is applied to show relations between related lattices of an algebra: For instance, generalizing some earlier results of G. Czédli and L. Szabó it is proved that any algebra admits a connected compatible partial order whenever its quasiorder lattic...

In the present work, the nonlinear equations for the general nonsingular pairs of compatible nonlocal Poisson brackets of hydrodynamic type are derived and the integrability of these equations by the method of inverse scattering problem is proved. For these equations, the Lax pairs with a spectral parameter are presented. Moreover, we demonstrate the integrability of the equations for some espe...
