We study the performance of Fictitious Play, when used as a heuristic for finding an approximate Nash equilibrium of a two-player game. We exhibit a class of two-player games having payoffs in the range [0, 1] that show that Fictitious Play fails to find a solution having an additive approximation guarantee significantly better than 1/2. Our construction shows that for n×n games, in the worst c...

In This Issue In This Issue Rabs make their way to mitochondria he large family of Rab GTPases has various functions, including the assembly of proteins required for endocytosis and membrane trafficking. Now, a new function for a Rab is emerging. On page 659, Alto et al. describe a Rab that affects mitochon-drial fission. This GTPase, Rab32, also has an unusual binding partner, the cAMP-depende...

In this paper, we study approximate duals of $g$-frames and fusion frames in Hilbert $C^ast-$modules. We get some relations between approximate duals of $g$-frames and biorthogonal Bessel sequences, and using these relations, some results for approximate duals of modular Riesz bases and fusion frames are obtained. Moreover, we generalize the concept of $Q-$approximate duality of $g$-frames and ...

Numerical abilities are thought to rest on the integration of two distinct systems, a verbal system of number words and a non-symbolic representation of approximate quantities. This view has lead to the classification of acalculias into two broad categories depending on whether the deficit affects the verbal or the quantity system. Here, we test the association of deficits predicted by this the...

Previous studies in the issue of inventory models with imperfect quality assumed the defectives could be sold in a batch by the end of the inspection process and the manufacturing systems were push systems. However, the above assumptions may not be true in the pull system in which buyer is powerful. Therefore, in this paper, we develop a new inventory model for items with imperfect quality and ...

Changing economic conditions make the selling price and demand quantity more and more uncertain in the market. The conventional inventory models determine the selling price and order quantity for a retailer’s maximal profit with exactly known parameters. This paper develops a solution method to derive the fuzzy profit of the inventory model when the demand quantity and unit cost are fuzzy numbe...
