this paper assumes the cell formation problem as a distributed decision network. it proposes an approach based on application and extension of information theory concepts, in order to analyze informational complexity in an agent- based system, due to interdependence between agents. based on this approach, new quantitative concepts and definitions are proposed in order to measure the amount of t...

This article studies the dynamics in the formation processes of a mutual consent network in game theory setting: the Co-Author Model. In this article, a limited observation is applied and analytical results are derived. Then, 2 parameters are varied: the number of individuals in the network and the initial probability of the links in the network in its initial state. A simulation result shows a...

A parametric SAR image formation scheme is proposed in this paper. Based on a model describing the received signal, the parameters of the model can be used to characterize the illuminated scene. A realization of parameter estimation via atomic decomposition is presented. The estimated parameters are then mapped onto the iso-range-Doppler grid to form a SAR image. Simulation results demonstrate ...

We survey the recent literature on coordination games, where there is a conflict between risk dominance and payoff dominance. Our main focus is on models of local interactions, where players only interact with small subsets of the overall population rather than with society as a whole. We use Ellison’s [1] Radius-Coradius Theorem to present prominent results on local interactions. Amongst other...

In the preface we present a short overview of articles included in the issue “Bifurcations and pattern formation in biological applications” of the journal Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena.
