Flow control is the dominant technique currently used in communication networks for preventing excess traffic from flooding the network, and for handling congestion. In ratebased flow control, transmission rates of sessions are adjusted in an end-to-end manner through a sequence of operations. In this work, we present a theory of max-min fair, ratebased flow control sensitive to priorities of d...

In the hedonic coalition formation game model Roles and Teams Hedonic Games (RTHG) (Spradling et al. 2013), agents view teams as compositions of available roles. An agent’s utility for a partition is based upon which role she fulfills within the coalition and which additional roles are being fulfilled within the coalition. Goals for matchmaking in this setting include forming partitions which o...

Under which condition does the set of desirable uncertain prospects expand when wealth increases? We show that the decreasing concavity (DC) of the utility function  is necessary and sufficient in the −maxmin expected utility model. In the smooth ambiguity aversion model with the ambiguity valuation function , the DC of  and of ◦ is necessary and sufficient. An alternative definition of d...

The paper outlines an exchangeable non-Bayesian model of preference generalizing the Savage/de Finetti classic model of subjective expected utility preference with an exchangeable prior. The treatment is informal, and the emphasis is on motivation and potential applications rather than on axiomatic foundations and technical details. The objective is to provide a widely accessible introduction t...

This paper describes FPGA realization of a Fuzzy Temperature Controller (FTC) using VHDL intended for industrial application. The system is built up with four major modules namely fuzzification, inference, implication and defuzzification. The composition method selected for the fuzzy model is the MaxMin composition while the Mamdani Min operator is chosen as the implication method. Each module ...

In stochastic games, the player’s payoff is a variable. most papers, expected considered as payoff, which means risk neutrality of players. However, there may exist risk-sensitive players who would take into account “risk” measuring their payoffs. paper, we propose model games with mean-variance functions, sum expectation and standard deviation multiplied by coefficient characterizing attention...
