In this article, we discuss ...

n Abstract: In this paper we analyze two natural convexity definitions for cooperative bankruptcy games, one of them was introduced by Aumann and Maschler (1985). In particular, we show that convexity in the sense of increasing marginal contributions is not satisfied by the game introduced by these authors. Furthermore, we propose an alternative game that captures the situation of bankruptcy pr...

In this paper, we focuse on different important properties in fuzzy (set-valued) measure theory, such as, non-atomicity, diffusion, regularity, order continuity, exhaustivity, countable subadditivity, increasing/decreasing convergence, semi-convexity, Darboux property for different types of set multifunctions defined on a ring of subsets of an abstract, nonvoid space and taking values in the fa...

Further, we investigate the log-convexity and the exponential conve...

An algebraic decay rate is derived which bounds the time required for velocities to equilibrate in a spatially homogeneous flow-through model representing the continuum limit of a gas of particles interacting through slightly inelastic collisions. This rate is obtained by reformulating the dynamical problem as the gradient flow of a convex energy on an infinite-dimensional manifold.An abstract ...

This paper is an essay in axiomatic foundations for discrete geometry intended, in principle, to be suitable for digital image processing and (more speculatively) for spatial reasoning and description as in AI and GIS. Only the geometry of convexity and linearity is treated here. A digital image is considered as a nite collection of regions; regions are primitive entities (they are not sets of ...

Korte and Lovász [12, 13] founded the theory of greedoids . These combinatorial structures characterize a class of optimization problems that can be solved by greedy algorithms. In particular, greedoids generalize matroids , introduced earlier by Whitney [16]. Antimatroids , introduced by Dilworth [3] as particular examples of semimodular lattices, make up another class of greedoids. Antimatroi...

We characterize the open sets in the sphere that are geodesically convex in any containing domain with respect to various conformal metrics.

Convexity theory and duality theory are important issues in math- ematical programming. Within the framework of credibility theory, this paper rst introduces the concept of convex fuzzy variables and some basic criteria. Furthermore, a convexity theorem for fuzzy chance constrained programming is proved by adding some convexity conditions on the objective and constraint functions. Finally,...
