Equilibria are shown to exist in non-finite Bayesian games if the type and action spaces are compact and convex subsets of finite dimensional Euclidean space, utility functions are continuous, expected utility functions are strictly quasiconcave in the agent’s action, the set of rationalizable mappings have a uniformly bounded slope and posterior beliefs are suitably continuous.  2002 Elsevier...

conclusions generalized ligamentous laxity is an important predisposing factor for acute and chronic shoulder injuries in athletes. prescreening programs for beginners and rehabilitation shoulder programs for sports athletes at high risk are strongly recommended. results group a (with ligamentous laxity) consisted of 43 participants (36.4%) and group b (without ligamentous laxity) consisted of ...

In this paper, we propose a new method for fuzzy numbers. In this method, we assume that Ai= (ai1, ai2, ai3, ai4) is to be a fuzzy number. So, the convex combination of ai1 and ai2 and also the convex combination of ai3 and ai4 are obtained separately. Then, Mic and Mis that are to be the convex combinations and the standard deviation respectively we acquire them from these components. Finally,...

Background and Purpose: The eastern part of the Czech Republic is afflicted by a decline in spruce stands. Forests stressed by drought are subsequently infested by honey fungus. Treating the root systems of spruce seedlings with a mycorrhizal preparation could present a certain possibility for protection against honey fungus. Mycorrhizal preparations are used in forestry, nursery management, ho...

We recall from Chapter 1 that the computation of the equilibrium state of a clamped membrane amounts to the solution of the convex minimization problem (7.1) J(u) = inf v∈H 1 0 (Ω) J(v) , 1 0 (Ω) → lR stands for the convex functional (7.2) J(v) := 1 2 Ω |a grad v| 2 dx − Ω f v dx , v ∈ H 1 0 (Ω). As we observed in Chapter 1, (7.1) is a particular example of a more general convex optimization pr...

We consider the problem of determining whether a given set S in R is approximately convex, i.e., if there is a convex set K ∈ R such that the volume of their symmetric difference is at most vol(S) for some given . When the set is presented only by a membership oracle and a random oracle, we show that the problem can be solved with high probability using poly(n)(c/ ) oracle calls and computation...

Friction stir spot welding (FSSW) of dissimilar S45C steel and 6061-T6 aluminum alloy in a butt configuration is experimentally investigated. Butt performed using convex scrolled shoulder tool at different rotational speeds. FSSW joints are successfully fabricated by offsetting the to side. The microstructures three speeds characterized scanning electron microscopy energy dispersive spectrometr...

We study the statistical physical properties of (discretized) “random surfaces,” which are random functions from Z (or large subsets of Z) to E, where E is Z or R. Their laws are determined by convex, nearest-neighbor, gradient Gibbs potentials that are invariant under translation by a full-rank sublattice L of Z; they include many discrete and continuous height function models (e.g., domino ti...

background: frozen shoulder is resulting in limb disability and reduction of quality of life but the factors associated with patients’ disability and quality of life is not clear. to assess pain, disability, the quality of life and factors associated with them in patients suffering from frozen shoulder.  methods: we enrolled 120 patients (37 men and 83 women) with phase-ii idiopathic frozen sho...
