The Game of Marginal Utilities
Isaac M. Sonin, Georgy Gaitsgori, Yaakov Malinovsky
We study a noncooperative resource-allocation game in which players distribute fixed resources among projects and the payoff of player is given by \[ F^j(x) = \sum_{i=1…
Distinct Extreme Scores in Random Round-Robin Tournaments
Yaakov Malinovsky
We consider a general round-robin tournament model with equally strong players, where denotes the score of player against player . We assume that takes val…
Extreme Score Distributions in Countable-Outcome Round-Robin Tournaments of Equally Strong Players
Yaakov Malinovsky
We consider a general class of round-robin tournament models of equally strong players. In these models, each of the players competes against every other player exactly once. F…
Maximal Counts in the Stopped Occupancy Problem
Alexander Gnedin, Svante Janson, Yaakov Malinovsky
We revisit a version of the classic occupancy scheme, where balls are thrown until almost all boxes receive a given number of balls. Special cases are widely known as coupon-collec…
The Optimality of a Nested Generalized Pairwise Group Testing Procedure
Yaakov Malinovsky, Viktor Skorniakov
We study the problem of identifying defective units in a finite population of \( n \) units, where each unit \( i \) is independently defective with known probability \( p_i \). Th…
A Note on a Recent Conjecture in Mathematics Magazine
Yaakov Malinovsky
In this note, we establish the validity of a conjecture recently proposed in Mathematics Magazine and connect it to the existing interesting results
