Clearing Sections of Lattice Liability Networks
Modern financial networks involve complex obligations that transcend simple monetary debts: multiple currencies, prioritized claims, supply chain dependencies, and more. We present a mathematical framework that unifies and extends these scenarios by recasting the classical Eisenberg-Noe model of financial clearing in terms of lattice liability networks. Each node in the network carries a complete lattice of possible states, while edges encode nominal liabilities. Our framework generalizes the scalar-valued clearing vectors of the classical model to lattice-valued clearing sections, preserving the elegant fixed-point structure while dramatically expanding its descriptive power. Our main theorem establishes that such networks possess clearing sections that themselves form a complete lattice under the product order. This structure theorem enables tractable analysis of equilibria in diverse domains, including multi-currency financial systems, decentralized finance with automated market makers, supply chains with resource transformation, and permission networks with complex authorization structures. We further extend our framework to chain-complete lattices for term structure models and multivalued mappings for complex negotiation systems. Our results demonstrate how lattice theory provides a natural language for understanding complex network dynamics across multiple domains, creating a unified mathematical foundation for analyzing systemic risk, resource allocation, and network stability.

RAILS: Verification-Native Clearing For Agentic Commerce
Autonomous agents negotiate, purchase, deploy code, and move funds, but no neutral mechanism determines whether they met their delegated obligation, who is responsible when they did not, or which settlement action follow…
Risk-Aware Control and Optimization for High-Renewable Power Grids
The transition of the electrical power grid from fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy raises fundamental challenges to the market-clearing algorithms that drive its operations. Indeed, the increased stochasticity …

This paper investigates the structure-property relations of thin-walled lattices under dynamic longitudinal compression, characterized by their cross-sections and heights. These relations elucidate the interactions of di…
Transfer LearningMulti-Period Liability Clearing via Convex Optimal Control
We consider the problem of determining a sequence of payments among a set of entities that clear (if possible) the liabilities among them. We formulate this as an optimal control problem, which is convex when the objecti…
