We introduce a compromise value for non-transferable utility games: the Chi-compromise value. It is closely related to the Compromise value introduced by Borm, Keiding, McLean, Oortwijn, and Tijs (1992), to the MC-value introduced by Otten, Borm, Peleg, and Tijs (1998), and to the -value introduced by Berganti~ nos, CasasM endez, and V azquez-Brage (2000). The main di erence being that the maxi...

Correlated equilibrium [1] generalizes Nash equilibrium to allow correlation devices. Aumann showed an example of a game, and of a correlated equilibrium in this game, in which the agents’ surplus (expected sum of payoffs) is greater than their surplus in all mixedstrategy equilibria. Following the idea initiated by the price of anarchy literature [2, 3] this suggests the study of two major mea...

Objective: There is a lack of information about whether preschool-aged children are providing maximal attempts when measuring strength. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association between handgrip strength and fore arm muscle size across age ranges, including three years old. Design Methods: A total 166 preschool (87 boys 79 girls) ages 3.5 6.5 were recruited from local kindergar...

A maximal matching of a graph is the set of edges such that the addition of an edge to this set violates the property of matching (i.e., no two edges of the matching share a vertex). We use the notion of assortative index (ranges from -1 to 1) to evaluate the extent of similarity of the end vertices constituting the edges of a matching. A maximal matching of the edges whose assortative index is...

The frequency of chromosomal aberrations was studied in the peripheral blood lymphocytes of 65 radiology technologists CRT) working at hospitals chronically exposed to x-rays. Although film dosimetry did not show the maximal annual permitted dose in any of the examined subjects, cytogenetic analysis detected fairly high levels of chromosomal aberrations in R T compared to unexposed controls...

Bell’s inequality violation (BIQV) for correlations of polarization is studied for a product state of two two-mode squeezed vacuum (TMSV) states. The violation allowed is shown to attain its maximal limit for all values of the squeezing parameter, ζ. We show via an explicit example that a state whose entanglement is not maximal allow maximal BIQV. The Wigner function of the state is non negativ...
