The literature on games of strategic complementarities (GSC) has focused on pure strategies. I introduce mixed strategies and show that, when strategy spaces are one-dimensional, the complementarities framework extends to mixed strategies ordered by rst-order stochastic dominance. In particular, the mixed extension of a GSC is a GSC, the full set of equilibria is a complete lattice and the extr...

Random dispersal describes the movement of organisms between adjacent spatial locations. However, the movement of some organisms such as seeds of plants can occur between non-adjacent spatial locations and is thus non-local. We propose to study a mixed dispersal strategy, which is a combination of random dispersal and non-local dispersal. More specifically, we assume that a fraction of individu...

The high capacity of the agricultural sector in Kermanshah Province needs more attention for some reasons including weather and climate conditions, access to fertile lands, and ready-made labor force. The current research seeks to achieve a major strategy for the development of entrepreneurship activities in the agricultural sector of Kermanshah Province. To reach end a mixed research method wa...

The set covering problem (SCP) is a well-known combinatorial optimization problem. This paper investigates development of a local branching approach for the SCP. This solution strategy is exact in nature, though it is designed to improve the heuristic behavior of the mixed integer programming solver. The algorithm parameters are tuned by design of experiments approach. The proposed method is te...

Supply Current Testing (IDDQ) has become an important defect oriented test strategy for digital IC products. The technique takes advantage of the low quiescent supply current drawn by static CMOS circuits relative to the current consumption during state changes. However, in analogue and mixed signal IC’s this condition can rarely be observed, as in most circuits, steady state currents depend on...

there are different strategies for selecting stocks, and different investors use different strategies according to their risk tolerance or their expected rate of return. in this study, the profitability of a broad range of stock se-lection strategies in tehran stock exchange over the period 1370-1383, has been examined, and it has been investigated whether the successful strategies in other cou...

The aim of this paper is to study both the private and the social desirability of a mixed bundling strategy that generates a cost savings effect. We confirm that mixed bundling is the dominant strategy for multiproduct firms, although it may give rise to a prisoner’s dilemma. Moreover, we show that mixed bundling may maximise social welfare, provided that cost savings are sufficiently high. Fin...

We present methods to synthesize cooperative strategies for multi-vehicle control problems using mixed integer linear programming. Complex multi-vehicle control problems are expressed as mixed logical dynamical systems. Optimal strategies for these systems are then solved for using mixed integer linear programming. We motivate the methods on problems derived from an adversarial game between two...

A natural intuition for mixed strategies in competitive games is that players randomize to remain unpredictable, but this is a theoretically fragile notion. A player should only randomize between strategies if indifferent, and even then could choose a pure strategy or any disequilibrium mixed strategy. Various theories instead describe mixed strategies not due to random play, but rather to hete...

To clarify the organization of motor representations in posterior parietal cortex, we test how three motor variables (body side, body part, cognitive strategy) are coded in the human anterior intraparietal cortex. All tested movements were encoded, arguing against strict anatomical segregation of effectors. Single units coded for diverse conjunctions of variables, with different dimensions anat...
