Affirmative Action's Cumulative Fractional Assignments
The Central Educational Institutions (Reservation in Teachers' Cadre) Act, 2019 provides for reserving teaching vacancies in India's central educational institutions for beneficiaries of its affirmative action policy. Reservation of teaching vacancies had been a contentious issue, and the act was introduced to resolve it after the Supreme Court's solution was met with protests from the Teachers' Union. Our paper demonstrates an impossibility result in the Supreme Court's solution and the act, which are flawed in reserving seats simultaneously at both the university and within its departments. To overcome this impossibility, we propose an alternative solution based on approximate implementation of fractional assignments, offering a promising middle-ground between the two disputed solutions practiced in India. This novel application demonstrates the practical relevance of the approximate implementation approach (Akbarpourand Nikzad(2020)) beyond the constraint structures examined in the literature.

Analyzing distortion riskmetrics and weighted entropy for unimodal and symmetric distributions under partial information constraints
In this paper, we develop the lower and upper bounds of worst-case distortion riskmetrics and weighted entropy for unimodal, and symmetric unimodal distributions when mean and variance information are available. We also …
Errors are Robustly Tamed in Cumulative Knowledge Processes
We study processes of societal knowledge accumulation, where the validity of a new unit of knowledge depends both on the correctness of its derivation and on the validity of the units it depends on. A fundamental questio…
Matching with Generalized Sequential Reserves
This paper introduces a general theory of sequential reserves by formulating a parameterized family of generalized sequential (GS) choice rules for institutions consisting of multiple divisions (or reserve categories). W…
A study on the evolution of a community population by cumulative and fractional calculus approaches
Nowadays, in our globalized world,the local and intercountry movements of population have been increased. This situation makes it important for host countries to do right predictions for the future population of their na…
On the Asymptotic Performance of Affirmative Actions in School Choice
This paper analyzes the asymptotic performance of two popular affirmative action policies, majority quota and minority reserve, under the immediate acceptance mechanism (IAM) and the top trading cycles mechanism (TTCM) i…
