Urban rail transit is the construction project under the planning and huge investment of the government. How to effectively conduct investment regulation and control becomes the core question that the government departments are concerned about. In this paper, the relations among government, owner and contractor are studied and the static and dynamic game model is built for behaviors among each ...

The present paper represents a continuation of paper [4], in which the existence and uniqueness problems for a general Ito–Volterra integrodifferential equation are investigated by using the concept of a non-linear random integral contractor. Since the Lipschitz condition and the random integral contractor for the coefficients of the considered equation, in general, cannot be compared, the noti...

Forming a contract among self-interested agents often requires complex, strategic thinking. For instance, a self-interested agent (contractee) will perform a task for another agent (contractor) only when doing it is in its own interest. Therefore, to form a successful contract, the contractor needs to provide incentives to the contractee, such as proposing a payment higher than the contractee’s...

To evaluate whether the extent of postprandial gall bladder emptying is correlated with gall bladder fasting volume, gall bladder motility was studied in 56 patients with cholesterol gall stone and 19 control patients. Gall bladder volumes were determined sonographically, while cholecystokinin plasma values were measured radioimmunologically. Twenty three per cent of gall stone patients were cl...

Nowadays, a project-winning environment is very competitive. In order to be successful and make profit, a contractor should start planning in advance and decide about what projects to bid. A prominent contractor should bid on projects for which his chances of winning are good enough or on projects for which the profit is high enough such that bidding would be worth consuming the resources neede...

The Contract Net Protocol (CNP) [Smith, 1980] assigns a subtask to agents which are involved in multiagent problem solving. Although the logical aspects of the negotiation protocol have been analyzed, the properties of protocol dynamics remain unclear. This paper introduces our quantitative analysis of protocol dynamics which is essential for constructing continuous reaitime applications. We ca...
