We prove that the dominance core of each balanced multi-choice TU game, where each player has identical activity level r, coincides with the dominance core of its corresponding r-replica of exchange economy. We also give an extension of the concept of the cover of the game proposed by Shapley and Shubik (J Econ Theory 1: 9-25, 1969) to multi-choice TU games and derive some sufficient conditions for the nonemptyness of the core of multi-choice TU game by using the relationship among replica economies, multi-choice TU games and their covers.展开更多

However, the problem of multi-choice linear programming cannot be solved directly by standard linear or nonlinear programming techniques. The aim of this paper is to transform such problems to a standard mathematical linear programming problem. For each constraint, exactly one parameter value is selected out of a multiple number of parameter values. This process of selection can be established in different ways. In this paper, we present a new simple technique enabling us to handle such problem as a mixed integer linear programming problem and consequently solve them by using standard linear programming software. Our main aim depends on inserting a specific number of binary variables and using them to construct a linear combination which gives just one parameter among the multiple choice values for each choice of the values of the binary variables. A numerical example is presented to illustrate our analysis.展开更多

文摘Motivated by the converse Lyapunov technique for investigating converse results of semistable switched systems in control theory,this paper utilizes a constructive induction method to identify a cost function for performance gauge of an average,multi-cue multi-choice(MCMC),cognitive decision making model over a switching time interval.It shows that such a constructive cost function can be evaluated through an abstract energy called Lyapunov function at initial conditions.Hence,the performance gauge problem for the average MCMC model becomes the issue of finding such a Lyapunov function,leading to a possible way for designing corresponding computational algorithms via iterative methods such as adaptive dynamic programming.In order to reach this goal,a series of technical results are presented for the construction of such a Lyapunov function and its mathematical properties are discussed in details.Finally,a major result of guaranteeing the existence of such a Lyapunov function is rigorously proved.
