By considering a least squares approximation of a given square integrable function f ∶ [0,1]n → R by a multilinear polynomial of a specified degree, we define an index which measures the overall interaction among variables of f . This definition extends the concept of Banzhaf interaction index introduced in cooperative game theory. Our approach is partly inspired from multilinear regression ana...

Network flow games model domains where a commodity can flow through a network controlled by selfish agents. Threshold Network Flow Games (TNFGs) are a form of such games where an agent coalition wins if it manages to send a flow exceeding a certain threshold between a source and a target vertex. Cooperative game theory predicts the agents’ actions in such settings with solutions such as the cor...

Video games have been found to have positive influences on executive function in older adults; however, the underlying neural basis of the benefits from video games has been unclear. Adopting a task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study targeted at the flanker task, the present study aims to explore the neural basis of the improved executive function in older adults with vide...

Middle of squares, one of the components of physical aspect is considered as an appropriateindicator in designing successful urban squares, which consequently promotes visual quality. The present study aims todetermine how the above mentioned aspect was presented in the Middle-Ages and Renaissance within Italian squares.Considering the aim of the investigation, library studies as well as visual...

We show that sentiments - self-fulfilling changes in beliefs are orthogonal to fundamentals can drive persistent aggregate fluctuations under rational expectations a beauty-contest game. Such occur even the absence of exogenous fundamental shocks. Moreover, alter volatility and persistence outcomes response provide (i) necessary conditions which affect equilibrium (ii) when they only contempora...

In this paper, we continue the study of the domination game in graphs introduced by Bre{v{s}}ar, Klav{v{z}}ar, and Rall. We study the paired-domination version of the domination game which adds a matching dimension to the game. This game is played on a graph $G$ by two players, named Dominator and Pairer. They alternately take turns choosing vertices of $G$ such that each vertex chosen by Domin...

knowledge management is the process of capturing, developing, sharing, and effectively using organizational knowledge as we known knowledge management literature emphasizes the importance of knowledge as a valuable asset for smes. this paper highlights the efficient sharing of knowledge as a way of creating core competencies in the smes that are in civil construction activities. this perspectiv...

objective: to classify different types of acute leukemia based on cooperative game theory and shapley value. materials and methods: in this study, patients data were collected from flow cytometry tests of the iran blood transfusion organization (ibto) have been used. 304 different diagnosed samples in 8 classes of acute leukemia were investigated. samples were initially in numerical format. i...

Conway’s game of Life provides interesting problems in which modelling issues in constraint programming can be explored. The problem of finding a maximum density stable pattern (‘still-life’) is discussed. A formulation of this problem as a constraint satisfaction problem with 0-1 variables and non-binary constraints is compared with its dual graph translation into a binary CSP. The success of ...
