" Social norms " is a term widely used in different areas of research like sociology, philosophy or multiagent systems. However, there is still not a clear definition of what social norms are and the types of problems they solve. This work presents a general classification and distinction of norms from a game theoretical perspective. The type of norms treated in this work are those norms create...

Social norms are communally agreed upon, morally significant behavioral standards that are, at least in part, responsible for uniquely human forms of cooperation and social organization. This paper summarizes evidence demonstrating that ritual and ritualized behaviors are essential to the transmission and reinforcement of social norms. Ritualized behaviors reliably signal an intentional mental ...

Each t-norm can be identified with its Cayley tomonoid, which consists of pairwise commuting order-preserving functions from the real unit interval to itself. Cayley tomonoids provide an easily manageable, yet versatile tool for the construction of t-norms. To give evidence to this claim, we review and reformulate several construction methods that are known in the literature. We adopt, on the o...

Normative multiagent systems as a research area can be defined as the intersection of normative systems and multiagent systems. Since the use of norms is a key element of human social intelligence, norms may be essential too for artificial agents that collaborate with humans, or that are to display behavior comparable to human intelligent behavior. By integrating norms and individual intelligen...

in this paper we obtain lower and upper estimates for the essential norms of generalized composition operators from weighted dirichlet spaces or bloch type spaces to $q_k$ type spaces.
