We provide a strategic implementation of the sequential equal surplus division rule (Béal et al., 2014). Precisely, we design a non-cooperative mechanism of which the unique subgame perfect equilibrium payoffs correspond to the sequential equal surplus division outcome of a superadditive rooted tree TU-game. This mechanism borrowed from the bidding mechanism designed by Pérez-Castrillo and Wett...

This paper proposes a structure for utility functions that are useful when modeling and solving important classes of practical planning applications--problems that are not adequately characterized by an additive utility function, but still have some additive structure. The structure is Xu(t)*mod(t,...) where is a function of how and when a single task is completed and rood(t,...) captures the e...

toos fertile plain, located between two mountain ranges hezarmasjed and binalood, has attracted different ethnic groups through ages due to environmental conditions, and has provided a proper ground for human inhabitation and continuation of life since oldest times. discovery of handmade tools dated to lower paleolithic age in the middle of the plain and banks of kashaf river (kashaf rud), exis...

An algorithm is given which makes only $O(\log n)$ comparisons, and which will determine the ordering of the uniformly distributed (pseudo random) Weyl sequences given by $\{ (k\alpha )\bmod 1:1 \leqq k \leqq n\} $, where $\alpha $ is an unspecified irrational number. This result is shown to be best possible in the sense that no algorithm can perform the same task with fewer than $ \Omega (\log...
