We analyze the core of a class of coalition formation game in which every player’s payoff depends only on the members of her coalition. We first consider anonymous games and additively separable games. Neither of these strong properties guarantee the existence of a core allocation, even if additional strong properties are imposed. We then introduce two top-coalition properties each of which gua...

for all z0 ∈ D(A). Here T (t) is the C0-semigroup generated by A. A system (1) that satisfies the above conditions will be denoted by Σ(A,C). The admissibility of C, eqn. (2), implies that we can extend the mapping z0 → CT (·)z0 to a bounded linear mapping from Z to L2(0,∞). We denote this mapping by C. Thus we have that for any initial condition z0 the solution of (1) is given by z(t) = T (t)z...

This study examined the effects of manipulating the size of groups of male student negotiators and their ability to communicate with one another in a game in which one player held veto power (i.e., had to be included in any winning coalition). The predictions of three models, the core, the value, and the weighted probability model, were tested. The game, in which the veto player could form a wi...

Possible mechanisms of abundant creation of antimatter in the universe are reviewed. The necessary conditions for that are: baryonic charge nonconserva-tion, spontaneous breaking of charge symmetry or nonequilibrium initial state, and the formation of appropriate initial conditions during inflation. In this case the universe may be populated with domains, cells, or even stellar size objects con...

We investigate the Q 2 evolution of parton distributions at small x values, obtained in the case of flat initial conditions. The results are in excellent agreement with deep inelastic scattering experimental data from HERA.

Two definitions of the notion of a chaotic transformation are compared: sensitivity to initial conditions and sensitivity to perturbations. Only the later is compatible with the idea that information has a

In this paper we propose a new method of determining the stability of queueing systems. We attain it using the absorbing process and introduce the untraceable events method to show the existence of the absorbing process. The advantage of our method is that we are able to discuss the stability of various variables for both discrete and continuous parameters in a general framework with nonstation...
