Abstract An abstract game satisfies Dominance Invariance if the indirect and direct dominance relations, or myopic farsighted dominance, are equivalent. Mauleon et al. (Int J Game Theory 43(4):925–943, 2014) study as an attractive condition that eliminates differences between a solution concept its counterpart. We show can also be used to eliminate various concepts in any game. Together with ad...

This paper studies the dominance-solvability (by iterated deletion of weakly dominated strategies) of general scoring rule voting games. The scoring rules we study include Plurality rule, Approval voting, Negative Plurality Rule, Borda rule and Relative Utilitarianism. We provide a classification of scoring rule voting games according to whether the sufficient conditions for dominance solvabili...

in order to estimate heritability and gene action for grain yield and its related traits in lentil, six basic generations were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications in a field experiment. besides seed yield per plant, plant height, pod length, and 100-seed weight, the number of pods per plant, primary branches, clusters per plant, nodes per main stem, secondary...

The core of an M-person game, though used already by von Neumann and Morgenstern [15], was first explicitly defined by Gillies [5]. Gillies's definition is restricted to cooperative games with side payments and unrestrictedly transferable utilities(2), but the basic idea is very simple and natural, and appears in many approaches to game theory. We consider a certain set of "outcomes" to a game,...

Dominance-based rough set introduced by Greco et al. is an extension of Pawlak’s classical rough set theory by using dominance relations in place of equivalence relations for approximating sets of preference ordered decision classes satisfying upward and downward union properties. This paper introduces the concept of indexed blocks for representing dominance-based approximation spaces. Indexed ...

Around 90% of humans prefer their right hand for unimanual actions and are lefthemisphere dominant for language functions; a pattern far from negligible. The phenomena of handedness and cerebral lateralization for language are presented along with the different theories that attempt to explain the presence of these functional asymmetries. The focus is on the adaptive advantages both on the indi...

Grounded theory was originally expounded by Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss in their 1967 book The Discovery of Grounded Theory (Glaser and Strauss 1967). Reacting against what they saw as the dominance of hypothetico-deductive, theory-testing approaches, Glaser and Strauss proposed grounded theory as a way of building theory systematically using data obtained from social research. Since its f...

Although theory suggests a link between social anxiety and social dominance, direct empirical evidence for this link is limited. The present experiment tested the hypothesis that socially anxious individuals, particularly men, would respond to a social-dominance threat by exhibiting decrements in their testosterone levels, an endocrinological change that typically reflects pronounced social sub...

A projection (gauge) independent formulation of the monopole dominance, discovered in lattice QCD for the maximal abelian projection, is given. A new dynamical abelian projection of continuum QCD, which does not rely on any explicit gauge condition imposed on gauge fields, is proposed. Under the assumption that the results of numerical simulations hold in the continuum limit, the monopole domin...
