In this paper we deal with the problem of studying some mathematical aspects regarding the polytope of fuzzy measures when the referential set is finite. More concretely, we study whether two extreme points are adjacent; for general polytopes, this is a NP-hard problem. However, for the case of fuzzy measures, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for two extreme points to be adjacent. T...

A mixed manna contains goods (that everyone likes), bads (that everyone dislikes), as well as items that are goods to some agents, but bads or satiated to others. If all items are goods and utility functions are homogeneous of degree one, concave (and monotone), the competitive division maximizes the Nash product of utilities (Gale-Eisenberg): hence it is welfarist (determined by the set of fea...

The theory of fuzzy measures and fuzzy integrals was introduced by S u g e n o [16] and intensively studied. Monographs [15] and [18] are dedicated to this topic. Recently, several classical inequalities were generalized to fuzzy integral. F l o r e sF r a n u l i č and R o m á n-F l o r e s [11] provided a Chebyshev type inequality for fuzzy integral of continuous and strictly monotone functio...

Ding, G., Monotone clutters, Discrete Mathematics 119 (1993) 67-77. A clutter is k-monotone, completely monotone or threshold if the corresponding Boolean function is k-monotone, completely monotone or threshold, respectively. A characterization of k-monotone clutters in terms ofexcluded minors is presented here. This result is used to derive a characterization of 2-monotone matroids and of 3-m...

‎In this paper‎, ‎we generalize the proximal point algorithm to complete CAT(0) spaces and show‎ ‎that the sequence generated by the proximal point algorithm‎ $w$-converges to a zero of the maximal‎ ‎monotone operator‎. ‎Also‎, ‎we prove that if $f‎: ‎Xrightarrow‎ ‎]-infty‎, +‎infty]$ is a proper‎, ‎convex and lower semicontinuous‎ ‎function on the complete CAT(0) space $X$‎, ‎then the proximal...

We shall prove new contraction properties of general transportation costs along nonnegative measure-valued solutions to Fokker– Planck equations in Rd , when the drift is a monotone (or λ-monotone) operator. A new duality approach to contraction estimates has been developed: it relies on the Kantorovich dual formulation of optimal transportation problems and on a variable-doubling technique. Th...
