There can, of course, be no concessions as regards existence. If it should turn out that our requirements concerning a solution. . . are, in any special case, unfulfillable,—this would certainly necessitate a fundamental change in the theory. Thus a general proof of the existence of solutions. . . for all particular cases1 is most desirable. It will appear from our subsequent investigations tha...

This chapter surveys a sizable and growing literature on coalition formation. We refer to theories in which one or more groups of agents (“coalitions”) deliberately get together to jointly determine withingroup actions, while interacting noncooperatively across groups. The chapter describes a variety of solution concepts, using an umbrella model that adopts an explicit real-time approach. Playe...

Social environments constitute a framework in which it is possible to study how groups of agents interact in a society. The framework is general enough to analyse both noncooperative and cooperative games. We identify a number of shortcomings of existing solution concepts that are used for social environments and propose a new concept called social rationalizability. The concept aims to identif...

Human strategic interaction requires reasoning about other people's behavior and mental states, combined with an understanding of their incentives. However, the ontogenic development of strategic reasoning is not well understood: At what age do we show a capacity for sophisticated play in social interactions? Several lines of inquiry suggest an important role for recursive thinking (RT) and the...

Molecular bioenergetics deals with the construction, function and regulation of the powerhouses of life. The present overview sketches scenes and actors, farsighted goals and daring hypotheses, meticulous tool-making, painstaking benchwork, lucky discovery, serious scepticism, emphatic believing and strong characters with weak and others with hard arguments, told from a personal, admittedly lim...

Farsighted stability of Chwe (1994) is discussed while attention is played on the computational framework of finding farsightedly stable coalition structures. The idea of farsightedness means that one should check for multi-step stability by comparing the profits of a coalition member after a series of deviations has come to an end. The deviation is possible only if players display a cooperate ...

Evidences suggest that in some villages of developing countries, agents rely on mutual insurance agreements to deal with income or expenditure shocks. In this paper we analyze which risk-sharing networks can be sustained in the long run when individuals are farsighted rather than myopic, in the sense that they are able to forecast how other agents would react to their actions. In particular, we...

purpose : to determine the prevalence of refractive condition and its risk factors among students in mashhad . methods : a total of 2510 students representing a cross-sectional of the population of mashhad were sampled using random cluster sampling strategy. primary and middle school students underwent cycloplegic refraction. the refractive errors of high school students were measured using non...

Purpose: To ascertain an examination interval that will not increase the risk of untimely detection of decompensation of accommodative esotropia whether or not initial nonoperative treatment must be supplemented. Methods: The records of 63 patients with controlled accommodative esotropia examined at 3to 6-month intervals were reviewed for age at first control, the occurrence of decompensation, ...
