The principle of differential marginality for cooperative games states that the differential of two players’ payoffs does not change when the differential of these players’ productivities does not change. Together with two standard properties, efficiency and the null player property, differential marginality characterizes the Shapley value. For games that contain more than two players, we show ...

In this paper, the term ‘debate’ refers to a situation in which two parties disagree over some issue and each of them tries to persuade a third party, the listener, to adopt his position by raising arguments in his favor. We are interested in the logic behind the relative strength of the arguments and counterarguments; we therefore limit our discussion to debates in which one side is asked to a...

A (or a group of) selling agent wants to allocate and sell a (or a set of) parcel of land optimally and fairly to a buying agent within the capacity constraint of the selling agent and budget constraint of the buying agent. This problem has been solved by combining the concept of algorithmic cooperative game theory and financial cryptography. This is an approach for a group of decision-making a...

Cooperative advertising is a cost-sharing mechanism in which a part of retailers' advertising investments are financed by the manufacturers. In recent years, investment among advertising options has become a difficult marketing issue. In this paper, the cooperative advertising problem with advertising options is investigated in a two-period horizon in which the market share in the second period...

“Amplify and Forward” and “Decode and Forward” are the two main relaying functions that have been proposed since the advent of cooperative communication. “Soft Decode and Forward” is a recently introduced relaying principle that is to combine the benefits of the classical two relaying algorithms. In this work, we thoroughly investigate soft relaying algorithms when convolutional or turbo codes ...

This paper considers the cooperative output regulation problem for linear multi-agent systems with a directed communication graph, heterogeneous linear subsystems, and an exosystem whose output is available to only a subset of subsystems. Both the cases with nominal and uncertain linear subsystems are studied. For the case with nominal linear subsystems, a distributed adaptive observer-based co...

Savings and loan cooperatives generally provide services in order to facilitate the fulfillment of needs their members ensure welfare members. One goals this cooperative is serve as an alternative means borrowing money or credit trying prevent its from moneylenders. In current development, savings are more demand by seekers customers, so that line with many Loans Cooperatives have been establis...

A two-player differential game of pollution control with uncertain initial disturbance stock is considered. In pace contemporary policy in the resource extraction industry, we initiate our research based on a model rehabilitation process which firms are required to compensate local rehabilitate polluted and dilapidated areas. Given reality that plays critical role production, cannot rigorously ...

In deterministic networks where relay nodes are stationary, combined selection is an efficient scheme, which capable of achieving the near-optimal outage performance with much lower system complexity. However, efficiency only validated upon fixed topological settings. To investigate in spatially random (SRNs), we employ Poisson point process to model dynamical nature cooperative and study propo...

Diplomatic language is a sharp weapon for diplomats to protect their own country's interests in the complex international environment. So that practice of diplomatic work, accurate and appropriate use basic requirement. Grice's cooperative principle Leech's politeness are regarded as norms verbal communication. However, actual process communication, due complexity social relations values, spoke...
