Coalitional game deals with situations that involve cooperations among players, and there are different solution concepts such as the core,the Shapley value and the kernel. In many situations, there is no way to predict the payoff functions except for the expert experiencesand subjective intuitions, which leads to the coalitional game with fuzzy payoffs. Within the framework of credibility theo...

The railway transportation planning under the fuzzy environment is investigated in this paper. As a main result, a new modeling method, called minimum risk chance-constrained model, is presented based on the credibility measure. For the convenience ofs olving the mathematical model, the crisp equivalents ofc hance functions are analyzed under the condition that the involved fuzzy parameter...

The open nature of the World Wide Web makes evaluating webpage credibility challenging for users. In this paper, we aim to automatically assess web credibility by investigating various characteristics of webpages. Specifically, we first identify features from textual content, link structure, webpages design, as well as their social popularity learned from popular social media sites (e.g., Faceb...

The formation of macroeconomic policy is conceptualized as on-going process of interaction between private individuals and a centralized policymaker. This interaction is inherently strategic in nature and lends itself to a gametheoretical treatment. Starting from the basic principle of rational expectations, the analysis advances a theoretical perspective on the related concepts of macroeconomi...

Absurd? Yes. However, this false belief – that children are somehow naturally more able to use technology and are also somehow more Internet savvy – is a common one. Problems with Internet information and in more traditional forms of information are well documented. Professors of entering college undergraduates observe that students “are ill prepared to function in a technological and informati...

Uncertainty inherent in the financial market was usually consid- ered to be random. However, randomness is only one special type of uncer- tainty and appropriate when describing objective information. For describing subjective information it is preferred to assume that uncertainty is fuzzy. This paper defines the expected payoof trading strategies in a fuzzy financial market within the framewor...
