Nice dubs, but my answer is no.

I just looked him up. Here's a paper of his.

http://people.ischool.berkeley.edu/~hal/Papers/2006/position.pdf

As someone majoring in math I'm baffled by how he chose his variables here. Can someone explain this?

Consider the problem of assigning agents a= 1,…, A to slots s= 1,…, S where agent a's
valuation for slot s is given by u sub as =v sub a*x sub s
. We number the slots so that x1>x2 >··>xS
. We also set
x sub s = 0 for all s>S

But wait didn't we just say that s = 1......S? How the fuck can s > S ever if this is your set?

all <span class="math">x_s[/spoiler] for s larger than the integers in set S are set to 0. this is probably convenient for the algorithm
