Letm and b be positive integers and let F be a hypergraph. In an (m, b) Maker-Breaker game F two players, called Maker and Breaker, take turns selecting previously unclaimed vertices of F . Maker selects m vertices per move and Breaker selects b vertices per move. The game ends when every vertex has been claimed by one of the players. Maker wins if he claims all the vertices of some hyperedge o...

We study the relative performance of disclosure and auditing in organizations. We consider the information transmission problem between two decision makers who take actions at dates 1 and 2 respectively. The first decision maker has private information about a state of nature that is relevant for both decisions, and sends a cheap-talk message to the second. The second decision maker can commit ...

We study Maker/Breaker games on the edges of the complete graph, as introduced by Chvátal and Erdős. We show that in the (m : b) clique game played on KN , the complete graph on N vertices, Maker can achieve a Kq for q = ( m log 2 (b+1) − o(1) ) · logN , which partially solves an open problem by Beck. Moreover, we show that in the (1:1) clique game played on KN for a sufficiently large N , Make...

In this paper a multi - objective linear fractional programming problem with the fuzzy variables and vector of fuzzy resources is studied and an algorithm based on a parametric approach is proposed. The proposed solving procedure is based on the parametric approach to find the solution, which provides the decision maker with more complete information in line with reality. The simplicity of the ...

Title of dissertation: Physics of Breaking Bow Waves: A Parametric Investigation using a 2D+T Wave Maker Eric Maxeiner, Doctor of Philosophy, 2009 Dissertation directed by: Professor James H. Duncan Department of Mechanical Engineering A mechanical 2-dimensional wave maker with a flexible surface was used to create waves similar to those formed at the bow of a moving ship. Utilizing the 2D+T ap...
