Economic games such as the Ultimatum Game (UG) and Prisoner's Dilemma (PD) are widely used paradigms for studying fairness and cooperation. Monetary versions of these games involve two players splitting an arbitrary sum of money. In real life, however, people's propensity to engage in cooperative behavior depends on their effort and contribution; factors that are well known to affect perception...

Plantations play an important role in carbon sequestration and the global carbon cycle. However, there is a dilemma in that most plantations are managed on short rotations, and the carbon sequestration capacities of these short-rotation plantations remain understudied. Eucalyptus has been widely planted in the tropics and subtropics due to its rapid growth, high adaptability, and large economic...

This paper assumes each user has more than one queue, derives a new packet-dependant proportional fairness power allocation pattern based on the sum of weight capacity and the packet’s priority in users’ queues, and proposes 4 new cross-layer packet-dependant OFDM scheduling schemes based on proportional fairness for heterogeneous classes of traffic. Scenario 1, scenario 2 and scenario 3 lead r...

Abstract Artificial intelligence methods, based on machine learning models, are rapidly changing financial services, and credit lending in particular, complementing traditional bank with platform lending. While technologies improve user experience possibly lower costs, they may increase risks and, the model that derive from inaccurate rating assessments. In this paper, we will show how to reduc...

Several recent numerical studies have examined the effects of neutrino neutral-current scattering on fast flavor conversion (FFC). Those are in apparent conflict, with some finding enhancement and others suppression. The ones that report all use homogeneous models, we discuss detail self-consistency issues they face as a result. We reproduce scattering-enhanced FFC our own calculations, showing...

This paper is a revised version of TI-discussion paper 8-95-249, \ An axiomatization of the Shapley value using component eeciency and fairness". I would like to thank Gerard van der Laan and Eric van Damme for useful remarks on a previous draft of this paper. Financial support from the Netherlands organization for scientiic research (NWO) ESR-grant 510-01-0504 is gratefully acknowledged. Abstr...

The most widely used economic models of social preferences are specified only for certain outcomes. There are two obvious methods of extending them to lotteries. If we do so by expected utility theory, so that the independence axiom is satisfied, our results imply that the resulting preferences do not exhibit ex ante fairness. If we do so by replacing certain outcomes with their expected utilit...

Recent advances in technology allow multi-agent systems to be deployed in cooperation with or as a service for humans. Typically, those systems are designed assuming individually rational agents, according to the principles of classical game theory. However, research in the field of behavioral economics has shown that humans are not purely self-interested: they strongly care about fairness. The...

[1] Floor-Fractured Craters (FFCs) are a class of lunar craters characterized by anomalously shallow floors cut by radial, concentric, and/or polygonal fractures; additional interior features are moats, ridges, and patches of mare material. Two formation mechanisms have been hypothesized—floor uplift in response to shallow magmatic intrusion and sill formation, and floor shallowing in response ...
