In this paper we study cooperative games with limited cooperation possibilities, represented by an undirected cycle-free communication graph. Players in the game can cooperate if and only if they are connected in the graph, i.e. they can communicate with one another. We introduce a new single-valued solution concept, the component fairness solution. Our solution is characterized by component ef...

In this work we develop preconditioners for the iterative solution of the large scale algebraic systems, arising in finite element discretizations of microstructures with an arbitrary number of components, described by the diffusive interface model. The suggested numerical techniques are applied to the study of ternary fluid flow processes.

It seems using the Maxwell-Stefan (M-S) diffusion model in combination with the vacancy solution theory (VST) and the single-component adsorption data provides a superior, qualitative, and quantitative prediction of diffusion in zeolites. In the M-S formulation, thermodynamic factor (Г) is an essential parameter which must be estimated by an adsorption isotherm. Researchers usually utilize the ...
