A Characterization of von Neumann Games in Terms of Memory

نویسنده

چکیده

An information completion of an extensive game is obtained by extending the information partition of every player from the set of her decision nodes to the set of all nodes. The extended partition satisfies Memory of Past Knowledge (MPK) if at any node a player remembers what she knew at earlier no des. It is shown that MPK c an b e satisfi ed in a game i f an d only if the game is von Neumann (vN) and satisfies memory at decision nodes (the restriction of MPK to a player’s own decision nodes). A game is vN if any two decision nodes that belong to the same information set of a player have the same number of predecessors. By providing an axiom for MPK we also obtain a syntactic characterization of the said class of vN games.

Nonlinear $*$-Lie higher derivations on factor von Neumann algebras

Let $mathcal M$ be a factor von Neumann algebra. It is shown that every nonlinear $*$-Lie higher derivation$D={phi_{n}}_{ninmathbb{N}}$ on $mathcal M$ is additive. In particular, if $mathcal M$ is infinite type $I$factor, a concrete characterization of $D$ is given.

The James and von Neumann-Jordan type constants and uniform normal structure in Banach spaces

Recently, Takahashi has introduced the James and von Neumann-Jordan type constants. In this paper, we present some sufficient conditions for uniform normal structure and therefore the fixed point property of a Banach space in terms of the James and von Neumann-Jordan type constants and the Ptolemy constant. Our main results of the paper significantly generalize and improve many known results in...

Various topological forms of Von Neumann regularity in Banach algebras

We study topological von Neumann regularity and principal von Neumann regularity of Banach algebras. Our main objective is comparing these two types of Banach algebras and some other known Banach algebras with one another. In particular, we show that the class of topologically von Neumann regular Banach algebras contains all $C^*$-algebras, group algebras of compact abelian groups and ...

Calculating Different Topological Indices of Von Neumann Regular Graph of Z_(p^α )

By the Von Neumann regular graph of R, we mean the graph that its vertices are all elements of R such that there is an edge between vertices x,y if and only if x+y is a von Neumann regular element of R, denoted by G_Vnr (R). For a commutative ring R with unity, x in R is called Von Neumann regular if there exists x in R such that a=a2 x. We denote the set of Von Neumann regular elements by V nr...
