To reduce the complexity intrinsic to LD manipulation, software tools are used to publish or consume data associated to LD activities. However, few developers have a broad understanding of how software tools may be used in publication or consumption of Linked Data. The goal of this work is to...

Abstract Consider Z i  = ( X i , Y i ), i  ∈ ℤ N be an F×ℝ-valued measurable strictly stationary spatial process, where F is a semi-metric space. We study the spatial covariation between X i and Y i by using the local linear estimate of the functional spatial regression E[ Y i | X i...

We study the problem of assigning a set of objects to a set of agents, when each agent receives one object and has strict preferences over the objects. In the absence of monetary transfers, we focus on the probabilistic rules, which take the ordinal preferences as input. We characterize the...

We develop a new approach for pricing both continuous-time and discrete-time American options which is based on the fact that any American option is equivalent to a European one with a consumption process involved. This approach admits the construction of an upper bound (a lower bound) on the...
