In this work, the Evaluation transform is adapted to interpret the polylogarithms as being the Evaluation of the words yxn, for meromorphic kernels and meromorphic inputs. The functional equations on polylogarithms can be obtained, then, via combinatorics on words and the relations between the...

Many natural systems, as social insects, perform complex computations collectively. In these groups, large numbers of individuals communicate in a local way and send information to its nearest neighbors. Interestingly, a general observation of these societies reveals that the computational...

The WALRAS algorithm calculates competitive equilibria via a distributed tatonnement-like process, in which agents submit single-good demand functions to market-clearing auctions. The algorithm is asynchronous and decentralized with respect to both agents and markets, making it suitable for...

A new approach is proposed to select a predetermined number of ?reasonable" (the best in a certain sense) alternatives from the considerable (maybe a vast) set of initial alternatives according to an arbitrary number of optimization criteria and accounting for uncertainty factors. The approach...

We develop a method that allows one to compute incomplete-market equilibria routinely for Markovian equilibria (when they exist). The main difficulty to be overcome arises from the set of state variables. There are, of course, exogenous state variables driving the economy but, in an incomplete...
