Measuring Ranks via the Complete Laws of Iterated Contraction
نویسنده
چکیده
Ranking theory delivers an account of iterated contraction; each ranking function induces a specific iterated contraction behavior. The paper gives a complete axiomatization of that behavior, i.e., a complete set of laws of iterated contraction. It does so by showing how to reconstruct a ranking function from its iterated contraction behavior uniquely up to multiplicative constant and thus how to measure ranks on a ratio scale.

The measurement of ranks and the laws of iterated contraction
Ranking theory delivers an account of iterated contraction; each ranking function induces a specific iterated contraction behavior. The paper shows how to reconstruct a ranking function from its iterated contraction behavior uniquely up to multiplicative constant and thus how to measure ranks on a ratio scale. Thereby, it also shows how to completely axiomatize that behavior. The complete set o...
متن کاملWeak $F$-contractions and some fixed point results
In this paper we define weak $F$-contractions on a metric space into itself by extending $F$-contractions introduced by D. Wardowski (2012) and provide some fixed point results in complete metric spaces and in partially ordered complete generalized metric spaces. Some relationships between weak $F$-contractions and $Fi$-contractions are highlighted. We also give some application...
متن کاملAn Iterated Function System for Reich Contraction in Complete b Metric Space
In this paper, we introduce R Iterated Function System and employ the Hutchinson Barnsley theory (HB) to construct a fractal set as its unique fixed point by using Reich contractions in a complete b metric space. We discuss about well posedness of fixed point problem for b metric space.
متن کاملMeasuring the efficiency of Iranian electricity distribution companies, a combined approach to bargaining game with DEA
Many models have been proposed for measuring performance of business agencies up to now. The goal of this research is providing a new approach for evaluation and measurement of efficiencies of national power distribution companies. This approach is provided as a combination of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Game Theory for evaluation of decision-making units by a large scale of actions. I...
متن کاملIterated Belief Contraction from First Principles
Importance of contraction for belief change notwithstanding, literature on iterated belief change has by and large centered around the issue of iterated belief revision, ignoring the problem of iterated belief contraction. In this paper we examine iterated belief contraction in a principled way, starting with Qualified Insertion, a proposal by Hans Rott. We show that a judicious combination of ...
