In their seminal paper Groves and Ledyard (1976) construct a balanced incentive compatible mechanism that solves the free-rider problem. In subsequent research, Bergstrom, Simon, and Titus (1983) prove that there exist numerous asymmetric equilibria in addition to the symmetric equilibrium. In the present paper we explicitly solve for the additional equilibria and use computational experiments ...

In a study designed to investigate the melting behaviour of natural gas hydrates which are usually formed in porous mineral sediments rather than bulk, hydrate phase equilibria for binary methane and water mixtures were studied using high-pressure differential scanning calorimetry mesoporous macroporous silica particles having controlled pore sizes ranging from 8.5 nm 195.7 nm. A dynamic oscill...

Trembling hand (TH) equilibria were introduced by Selten in 1975. Intuitively, these are Nash equilibria that remain stable when players assume that there is a small probability that other players will choose off-equilibrium strategies. This concept is useful for equilibrium refinement, i.e., selecting the most plausible Nash equilibria when the set of all Nash equilibria can be very large, as ...

A model of population structure in heterogeneous environments is described with attention focused on genetic variation at a single locus. The existence of equilibria at which there is no genetic load is examined.--The absolute fitness of any genotype is regarded as a function of location in the niche space and the population density at that location. It is assumed that each organism chooses to ...

We give a novel proof of the existence of Nash equilibria in all finite games without using fixed point theorems or path following arguments. Our approach relies on a new notion intermediate between Nash and correlated equilibria called exchangeable equilibria, which are correlated equilibria with certain symmetry and factorization properties. We prove these exist by a duality argument, using H...

The main contribution of this thesis is a new solution concept for symmetric games (of complete information in strategic form), the exchangeable equilibrium. This is an intermediate notion between symmetric Nash and symmetric correlated equilibrium. While a variety of weaker solution concepts than correlated equilibrium and a variety of refinements of Nash equilibrium are known, there is little...

The predator-prey model with stage structure for predator is generalized in the context of ecoepidemiology, where the prey population is infected by a microparasite and the predator completely avoids consuming the infected prey. The intraspecific competition of infected prey is considered. All the equilibria are characterized and the existence of a Hopf bifurcation at the coexistence equilibriu...

In oil and gas exploitation transportation, it is essential to avoid hydrate blockage in the wellbores pipelines. Using kinetic inhibitors composite with thermodynamic can reduce operational expenditure for pipelines under high water content conditions. The phase equilibria of pure natural system, oil-water MEG system were firstly investigated by experiments combined software predictions this s...
