A NONNEGATIVITY CRITERION FOR ERDŐS MATRICES

Abstract Let A be an n × n $n\times n$ n times n doubly stochastic matrix. The Marcus–Ree inequality asserts that ∥ A ∥ F 2 ≤ maxtrace ( A ) $\|A\|_{\mathrm F}^2\leq \mathrm {maxtrace}(A)$ StartMetric upper A EndMetric Subscript normal upper F Superscript 2 Baseline less than or...

Fair Bayesian Stackelberg Federated Learning Under Strategic and Heterogeneous Client Participation

Federated learning must accommodate statistical heterogeneity, costly client participation, and distinct fairness objectives for model performance and participation frequency. We introduce Fair Bayesian Stackelberg Federated Learning (FBS-FL), in which a server maintains beliefs...

Communicating, Interacting and Strategizing: Exploring the Situatedness of Strategy-Making

While a growing body of work has established that strategy is communicatively constituted through talk, writing, narratives, documents, material artifacts and multimodal interactions, this literature remains dispersed across disciplinary traditions and publication outlets. This s...
