During the years 1899-1967, in temperate latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, there has been a significant quasi-periodic fluctuation (hereafter denoted as periodicity) of about 16 yr. in the even minus odd (even-odd) year difference in sea level zonal geostrophic wind for the months January through May. No such periodicity is evident for the months July through November. For the winter and sp...

An algorithm for $n-1$-strong-equillibrium for distributed consensus in a ring with rational agents was proposed by Afek et al. (2014). A proof of impossibility of $n-1$-strong-equillibrium for distributed consensus in every topology with rational agents, when $n$ is even, is presented. Furthermore, we show that the algorithm proposed by Afek et al. is the only algorithm which can solve the pro...
