We study the identification and estimation of a multidimensional screening
model, where a monopolist sells a product with multiple qualities to consumers
with private information about their multidimensional preferences. Under
optimal scree...

We describe a method for recursively calculating Gromov-Witten invariants of
all blowups of the projective plane. This recursive formula is different from
the recursive formulas due to G\"ottsche and Pandharipande in the zero genus
case, an...
On n-dependence

In this note we develop and clarify some of the basic combinatorial
properties of the new notion of n-dependence (for 1≤n<ω)
recently introduced by Shelah. In the same way as dependence of a theory means
its inability to enco...
Building a Balanced k-d Tree in O(kn log n) Time

Computer Science
Data Structures and Algorithms
The original description of the k-d tree recognized that rebalancing
techniques, such as are used to build an AVL tree or a red-black tree, are not
applicable to a k-d tree. Hence, in order to build a balanced k-d tree, it is
necessary to f...

In this paper we present Plane symmetric, Cylindrically Symmetric and
Spherically Symmetric Black hole or Vacuum solutions of Einstein Field
Equations(EFEs). Some of these solutions are new which we have not seen in the
literature. This cal...

This paper is a sequel to "Representation growth of maximal class groups:
non-exceptional primes". We use a constructive method to calculate some
exceptional cases of p-local representation zeta functions of a family of
finitely generated...

Using the relativistic concept of time dilation we show that a superposition
of gravitational potentials can lead to nonunitary time evolution. For
sufficiently weak gravitational potentials one can still define, for all
intents and purpose...

We present a collection of results on (weak) m-extremals and m-geodesics,
concerning general properties, the planar case, quasi-balanced pseudoconvex
domains, complex ellipsoids, the Euclidean ball and boundary properties. We
