Following Vartiainen (2007) we consider bargaining problems in which no exogenous disagreement outcome is given. A bargaining solution assigns a pair of outcomes to such a problem, namely a compromise outcome and a disagreement outcome: the disagreement outcome may serve as a reference point for the compromise outcome, but other interpretations are given as well. For this framework we propose a...

Among the most important and robust violations of rationality are the attraction and the compromise effects. The compromise effect refers to the tendency of individuals to choose an intermediate option in a choice set, while the attraction effect refers to the tendency to choose an option that dominates some other options in the choice set. This paper argues that both effects may result from an...

Students often do not understand the difference between collaboration and compromise. Collaboration, also known as problem solving, an integrative solution, or a win-win solution is, ‘‘a strategy that involves seeking a mutually satisfactory alternative’’ (Pruitt & Kim, 2004, p. 297). Compromise, in contrast, is ‘‘an obvious alternative that stands partway between the disputants’ preferred posi...

With the aim of developing a flexible optimization method for managing conflict resolution, this paper concerns itself with multi-objective mixed-integer programs. For this purpose, we have proposed an intelligence supported approach that combines genetic algorithm with mathematical programs (hybrid genetic algorithm) to derive the best-compromise solution. Also we have developed a novel modeli...

A narrow-band-based adaptive level set method is proposed for mesh evolution in this paper. In the preprocessing step, the portions of the mesh with high curvature are detected and clustered as fine geometric details. Then the fine grids with optimal orientations are defined for each detected portions, while the coarse grid is chosen for global evolution. The solutions on different scale grids ...

Though the high-order superdirectivity theory proposed in recent years is attractive, it is hard to implement in practice due to its poor robustness to small random array errors. Hence, in this paper, we present two robust designs of high-order superdirectivity for circular arrays with gain and phase errors. Firstly, we study on the sensitivity function of the high-order superdirectivity and gi...
