Market clearing price and equilibria of the progressive second price mechanism

Patrick Maillé (2007)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Similarity:


The Progressive Second Price mechanism (PSP), recently introduced by Lazar and Semret to share an infinitely-divisible resource among users through pricing, has been shown to verify very interesting properties. Indeed, the incentive compatibility property of that scheme, and the convergence to an efficient resource allocation where established, using the framework of . Therefore, that auction-based allocation and pricing scheme seems particularly well-suited to solve congestion problems...

Star Coloring of Subcubic Graphs

T. Karthick, C.R. Subramanian (2013)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A star coloring of an undirected graph G is a coloring of the vertices of G such that (i) no two adjacent vertices receive the same color, and (ii) no path on 4 vertices is bi-colored. The star chromatic number of G, χs(G), is the minimum number of colors needed to star color G. In this paper, we show that if a graph G is either non-regular subcubic or cubic with girth at least 6, then χs(G) ≤ 6, and the bound can be realized in linear time.
