In this note the equivalence among Well-ordering Principle, Principle of Finite Induction and certain natural conditions concerning set integers is discussed, thereby clarifying facts encountered in literature.

This paper studies efficient risk-sharing rules for the concave dominance order. For a univariate risk, it follows from a comonotone dominance principle, due to Landsberger and Meilijson [27], that efficiency is characterized by a comonotonicity condition. The goal of the paper is to generalize the comonotone dominance principle as well as the equivalence between efficiency and comonotonicity t...

This paper focuses on the task scheduling algorithms based on comprehensive QoS and constraint of expectation. Under the environment of dynamic cloud computing, efficiency improving of task scheduling and load balancing are eternal problems. For users, however, it's more important to meet their requirements of QoS. This paper relates to a benefit-fairness algorithm based on new Berger's model u...

We study a version of Harsanyi’s theorem (Harsanyi, 1955) in a framework involving uncertainty. Without assuming the sure-thing principle but sticking to consequentialism, we obtain that a Paretian social aggregation should be affine and that all decision makers must use additively separable preferences that resembles expected utilities. Whenever preferences are state independent, we find that ...
