Definition

Matthew K. Franklin and Gene Tsudik suggested in 19982 the following classification:

  • An n {\displaystyle n} -party single-unit general exchange is a permutation σ {\displaystyle \sigma } on { 1... n } {\displaystyle \{1...n\}} , where each party P i {\displaystyle P_{i}} offers a single unit of commodity K i {\displaystyle K_{i}} to P σ ( i ) {\displaystyle P_{\sigma (i)}} , and receives a single unit of commodity K σ − 1 ( i ) {\displaystyle K_{\sigma ^{-1}(i)}} from P σ − 1 ( i ) {\displaystyle P_{\sigma ^{-1}(i)}} .
  • An n {\displaystyle n} -party multi-unit general exchange is a matrix of baskets, where the entry B i j {\displaystyle B_{ij}} in row i {\displaystyle i} and column j {\displaystyle j} is the basket of goods given by P i {\displaystyle P_{i}} to P j {\displaystyle P_{j}} .
