Within the multicriteria aggregation-disaggregation framework, ordinal regression aims at inducing the parameters of a decision model, for example those of a utility function, which have to represent some holistic preference comparisons of a Decision Maker (DM). Usually, among the many utility functions representing the DM’s preference information, only one utility function is selected. Since s...

This paper analyzes a multicriteria matrix goal game under entropy environment. Here a new game model known as multicriteria entropy matrix goal Game is formulated. Multiobjective non-linear programming model for each player is established. The concept of Pareto-optimal security strategy assures the property of security in the individual criteria against an opponent’s deviation in strategy; how...

A situation in which a finite set of players can obtain certain payoffs by cooperation can be described by a cooperative game with transferable utility, or simply a TU-game. A solution for TU-games assigns a set of payoff vectors to every TU-game. Some solutions that are based on distributing dividends are the Shapley value (being the single-valued solution distributing the dividends equally am...

We study the problem of designing the hyperlink structure between the web pages of a web site in order to maximize the revenue generated from the traffic on the web site. We show this problem is equivalent to the well-studied setting of infinite horizon discounted Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). Thus existing results from that literature imply the existence of polynomial-time algorithms for f...

A cooperative game with transferable utility {or simply a TU-game{ describes a situation in which players can obtain certain payo®s by cooperation. A value function for these games is a function which assigns to every such a game a distribution of the payo®s over the players in the game. An alternative type of solutions are share functions which assign to every player in a TU-game its share in ...

Device-to-Device (D2D) communication makes large benefit on users’ data rate due to the proximity between potential D2D transmitters and receivers. However, the data rate is restricted by the co-channel interference between underlaying D2D links and traditional cellular users (CUs). In this paper, we investigate how to leverage D2D communication to improve overall system data rate via joint mod...

The well-known game of Prisoner’s Dilemma, which reflects a basic situation in which one must decide whether or not to cooperate with a competitor, is systematically solved using a fuzzy approach to modeling trust. When involved in a dispute, two or more parties need to make decisions with fully or partially conflicting objectives. In situations where reaching a more favorable outcome depends u...

We propose a new method for ranking alternatives in multicriteria decision-making problems when there is imprecision concerning the alternative performances, component utility functions and weights. We assume decision maker's preferences are represented by an additive multiattribute utility function, in which weights can be modeled by independent normal variables, fuzzy numbers, value intervals...

8 Abstract 9 The goal of this paper is to explore solution concepts for set-valued TU-games. Several stability conditions can be 10 defined since one can have various interpretations of an improvement within the multicriteria framework. We present 11 two different core solution concepts and explore the relationships among them. These concepts generalize the classic 12 core solution for scalar g...
