Common Knowledge Revisited

چکیده
We consider the common-knowledge paradox raised in [HM90]: common knowledge is necessary for coordination, but common knowledge is unattainable in the real world because of temporal imprecision. We discuss two solutions to this paradox: (1) modeling the world with a coarser granularity, and (2) relaxing the requirements for coordination.

Common knowledge revisited 5 Ronald
We consider the common-knowledge paradox raised by Halpem and Moses: common knowledge is necessary for agreement and coordination, but common knowledge is unattainable in the real world because of temporal imprecision. We discuss two solutions to this paradox: ( 1) modeling the world with a coarser granularity, and (2) relaxing the requirements for coordination. @ 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All...
متن کاملApproximate common knowledge revisited
Suppose we replace ``knowledge'' by ``belief with probability p'' in standard de®nitions of common knowledge. Very di ̈erent notions arise depending on the exact de®nition of common knowledge used in the substitution. This paper demonstrates those di ̈erences and identi®es which notion is relevant in each of three contexts: equilibrium analysis in incomplete information games, best response dynam...
متن کاملMetadiscourse Markers Revisited in EFL Context: The Case of Iranian Academic Learners’ Perception of Written Texts
Moving in line with the postulation that metadiscourse (MD) markers help transform a dry and tortuous piece of text into a coherent and reader-friendly one, the researchers in the current study attempted to investigate the effect different metadiscourse markers might have on Iranian EFL learners’ perception of written texts. To this end, 120 undergraduate English students were given three diffe...
متن کاملUSHER\'S SYNDROME REVISITED
Usher's syndrome is a genetically inherited autosomal recessive disorder resulting in the double handicap of deafness and progressive blindness, known as retinitis pigmentosa. The disease is also associated with psychoses, mental retardation, and other major neurophysiological changes. It appears to be more common among Jewish individuals and consanguinous marriages. While it is rare in th...
متن کاملMechanism Discrimination for Bimolecular Reactions: Revisited with a Practical Hydrogenation Case Study
The governing mechanism of surface reactions is a fundamental concern in heterogeneous catalysis. The Langmuir–Hinshelwood (LH) mechanism is widely accepted to control the surface reactions in many catalytic systems. This contribution derives and compares several important surface rate equations to evaluate their quality of fitting to the experimental data collected for a vapor-phase hydrogenat...
