This note answers a question of Kechris: if H < G is a normal subgroup of a countable group G, H has property MD and G/H is amenable and residually finite then G also has property MD. Under the same hypothesis we prove that for any action a of G, if b is a free action of G/H, and bG is the induced action of G then CInd G H(a|H)×bG weakly contains a. Moreover, if H < G is any subgroup of a count...

We consider dynamic games in large population conditions where the agents evolve according to non-uniform dynamics and are weakly coupled via their dynamics and the individual costs. A state aggregation technique is developed to obtain a set of decentralized control laws for the individuals which possesses an ε-Nash equilibrium property. An attraction property of the mass behaviour is establish...

Generalization of certain results in [Sap] and simplification of the proofs are given. We observe e.g.: Let X and Y be Banach spaces such that X is weakly compactly generated Asplund space and X has the approximation property (respectively Y is weakly compactly generated Asplund space and Y ∗ has the approximation property). Suppose that L(X, Y ) 6= K(X,Y ) and let 1 < λ < 2. Then X (respective...

We extract some properties of Mahlo’s operation and show that some other very natural operations share these properties. The weakly compact sets form a similar hierarchy as the stationary sets. The height of this hierarchy is a large cardinal property connected to saturation properties of the weakly compact ideal. 1 2

In this paper, we introduce some new types of pairs of mappings (f , g) on G-metric spaces called G-weakly commuting of type Gf and G–R-weakly commuting of type Gf . We obtain also several common fixed point results by using the (E.A) property. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A weakly complete sequence is an increasing sequence of positive integers with the property that every sufficiently large integer can be written as a sum of distinct terms of the sequence. In this article, we give a partial proof of a conjecture of Paul giving a formula for weakly complete sequences formed using a natural procedure.

The Banach space E has the weakly compact approximation property (W.A.P. for short) if there is a constant C < ∞ so that for any weakly compact set D ⊂ E and ε > 0 there is a weakly compact operator V : E → E satisfying supx∈D ‖x − V x‖ < ε and ‖V ‖ ≤ C. We give several examples of Banach spaces both with and without this approximation property. Our main results demonstrate that the James-type ...

Weakly acyclic games form a natural generalization of the class of games that have the finite improvement property (FIP). In such games one stipulates that from any initial joint strategy some finite improvement path exists. We classify weakly acyclic games using the concept of a scheduler introduced in [15]. We also show that finite games that can be solved by the iterated elimination of never...

In this paper, we establish a coincidence and a common fixed point for a pair of weakly compatible mappings under (ψ, φ)weakly contractive condition in G-metric spaces. Our results improve and generalize the results of Khandaqji et al. [20]. We also provide an example to support our results. Moreover, we prove that these mappings satisfy Property Q.
