For example, when assigning tasks to agents, it is required both to avoid envy, and to minimize the makespan (- the completion time of the last agent). Mu'alem presents a general framework for optimization problems with envy-freeness guarantee that naturally extends fair item allocations using monetary payments.
Double-spending is the unauthorized production and spending of money, either digital or conventional. It represents a monetary design problem: a good money is verifiably scarce, and where a unit of value can be spent more than once, the monetary property of scarcity is challenged.
The change-making problem addresses the question of finding the minimum number of coins (of certain denominations) that add up to a given amount of money. It is a special case of the integer knapsack problem , and has applications wider than just currency.
The problem concerns two envelopes, each containing an unknown amount of money. The two envelopes problem, also known as the exchange paradox, is a paradox in probability theory. It is of special interest in decision theory and for the Bayesian interpretation of probability theory. It is a variant of an older problem known as the necktie paradox.
For example, the largest amount that cannot be obtained using only coins of 3 and 5 units is 7 units. The solution to this problem for a given set of coin denominations is called the Frobenius number of the set. The Frobenius number exists as long as the set of coin denominations is setwise coprime.
Ramsey explained through the call that she is focusing on the wrong money problem. Her joint household income is $125,000 a year, which Dave explains allows her to self-insure her pets.
Time value of money problems involve the net value of cash flows at different points in time. In a typical case, the variables might be: a balance (the real or nominal value of a debt or a financial asset in terms of monetary units), a periodic rate of interest, the number of periods, and a series of cash flows. (In the case of a debt, cas
Research finds that marital conflicts about money are more pervasive, problematic, and recurrent than other fights—despite the fact that couples typically work harder to solve their money problems.
