Outranking relations such as produced by the Electre I or II or the Tactic methods are based on a concordance and non-discordance principle that leads to declaring that an alternative is “superior” to another, if the coalition of attributes supporting this proposition is “sufficiently important” (concordance condition) and if there is no attribute that “strongly rejects” it (non-discordance con...

We prove that the dual or any quotient of a separable reflexive Banach space with the unconditional tree property has the unconditional tree property. This is used to prove that a separable reflexive Banach space with the unconditional tree property embeds into a reflexive Banach space with an unconditional basis. This solves several long standing open problems. In particular, it yields that a ...

An iterative algorithm is constructed to solve the generalized coupled Sylvester matrix equations AXB − CYD,EXF − GYH M,N , which includes Sylvester and Lyapunov matrix equations as special cases, over generalized reflexive matrices X and Y . When the matrix equations are consistent, for any initial generalized reflexive matrix pair X1, Y1 , the generalized reflexive solutions can be obtained b...

The general coupled matrix equations (including the generalized coupled Sylvester matrix equations as special cases) have numerous applications in control and system theory. In this paper, an iterative algorithm is constructed to solve the general coupled matrix equations over reflexive matrix solution. When the general coupled matrix equations are consistent over reflexive matrices, the reflex...

A novel two-step paradigm was used to investigate the parallel programming of consecutive, stimulus-elicited ('reflexive') and endogenous ('voluntary') saccades. The mean latency of voluntary saccades, made following the first reflexive saccades in two-step conditions, was significantly reduced compared to that of voluntary saccades made in the single-step control trials. The latency of the fir...

This study addresses the matter of reflexive control of the emotional states by means of Reflexive Game Theory (RGT). It is shown how to build a bridge between RGT and emotions. For this purpose the Pleasure-Arousal-Dominance (PAD) model is adopted. The major advantages of RGT are its ability to predict human behavior and unfold the entire spectra of reflexion in the human mind. On the other ha...

Let K(X,Y) be the space of compact operators. For a proximinal subspace Z⊂Y, this paper deals with question, when does every Y-valued operator admit Z-valued best approximation? any reflexive Banach X and for L1-predual Y, if Z⊂Y is strongly finite codimension, we show that K(X,Z) under an additional condition on position K(X,Z). When Y c0-direct sum dimensional spaces achieve strong transitivi...

The dual spaces $d(p), 1 \lt p \infty ,$ of the discrete Cesaro (Banach) $\mathrm{ces} (q)$, $1 q were studied by G. Bennett, A. Jagers and others. These (reflexive) Banach induce non-normable Frechet $d (p+) := \bigcap_{r \gt p} d (r), $ for \leq (LB)-spaces (p-) \bigcup_{ r } recently introduced investigated in [11]. Here a detailed study is made various aspects, such as spectrum, continuity,...

We investigate the reflexivity of the isometry group and the automorphism group of some important metric linear spaces and algebras. The paper consists of the following sections: 1. Preliminaries. 2. Sequence spaces. 3. Spaces of measurable functions. 4. Hardy spaces. 5. Banach algebras of holomorphic functions. 6. Fréchet algebras of holomorphic functions. 7. Spaces of continuous functions. In...
