Formulation of commons dilemma: Dawes model reconsidered

This paper examines Dawes (1975) model on commons dilemma (CD) situation and proposes an alternative model which formulates CD. Firstly, it makes clear that Dawes model does not have the characteristics of CD. Secondly, it specifies “resource unit condition” which models of commons dilemma must satisfy. Thirdly, it presents CD model, which is obtained by setting the condition in Dawes model. And lastly, it examines some nature of the proposed model and find that in CD situation, fine is distributed proportionally to each player's property.     

EXISTENCE OF STOCHASTIC EQUILIBRIUM WITH INCOMPLETE FINANCIAL MARKETS

This paper analyzes the aritrage-tree security markets and the general equilibrium ex-istence problem for a stochastic economy with incomplete financial markets. Information structure is given by an event tree. This paper restricts attention to puraly financial securities. It isassume that trading takes place in the sequence of spot markets and futures markets for securi-ties payable in units of account. Unlimited short-selling in securities is allowed. Financial markets may be incomplete, some consumption streams may be impossible to obtain by any tradingstrategy. Securities may be individually precluded from trade at arbitrary states and dates. Thesecurity price process is arbitrage-free the dividend process if and only if there exists a stochaticstate price (present value) process : the present value of the security prices at every vertex isthe present value of their dividend and capital values over the set of immediate successors ; thecurrent value of each security at every vertex is the present value of its future dividend streamover all succeeding vertices. The existence of such an equilibrium is proved under the followingcondition: continuous, weakly convex, strictly monotone and complete preferences, strictlypositive endowmenta and dividends processes.

The Dynamics of Cultural Influence Networks

This article investigates the behavior of cultural influence networks over time, using a computer simulation based on a formal model of cultural transmission in organizations. In the formal model, every organizational member exerts some cultural influence on, and is influenced by, every other member; these influence paths constitute a dense social network and the weights of paths (ties) vary throughout the network. Over time, each organizational member's enculturation level changes in response to influence from other members, and the influence weight of each path changes in relationship to the cultural similarity of the individuals connected by the path. Virtual experiments explore the configuration and evolution of the cultural influence network under varying demographic conditions and influence principles. Demographic effects are studied by varying organizational size, hiring selectivity and turnover rates. Two principles for determining initial influence path weights are examined, cohort-based influence and random influence. The simulations show that the cultural influence network evolves over time to a robust configuration, fluctuating around a stable dynamic equilibrium as individuals enter and leave the organization. As turnover rates rise, cohort-based influence strengthens the influence network and reduces network inequality. In this model, cohort-based influence processes promote cultural stability in organizations.     

A necessary and sufficient condition for Pareto-optimal security strategies in multicriteria matrix games

In this paper, a scalar game is derived from a zero-sum multicriteria matrix game, and it is proved that the solution of the new game with strictly positive scalarization is a necessary and sufficient condition for a strategy to be a Pareto-optimal security strategy (POSS) for one of the players in the original game. This is done by proving that a certain set, which is the extension of the set of security level vectors in the criterion function space, is convex and polyhedral. It is also established that only a finite number of scalarizations are necessary to obtain all the POSS for a player. An example is included to illustrate the main steps in the proof.This work was done while the author was a Research Associate in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Science and was financially supported by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, Delhi, India.The author wishes to express his gratefulness to Professor U. R. Prasad for helpful discussions and to two anonymous referees for suggestions which led to an improved presentation.

Interacting neural networks and the emergence of social structure

The article describes a computational model for the simulation of the emergence of social structure or social order, respectively. The model is theoretically based on the theory of social typifying by Berger and Luckmann. It consists of interacting artificial actors (agents), which are represented by two neural networks, an action net, and a perception net. By mutually adjusting of their actions, the agents are able to constitute a self‐organized social order in dependency of their personal characteristics and certain features of their environment. A fictitious example demonstrates the applicability of the model to problems of extra‐terrestrial robotics. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 12: 41–52, 2007     

一个安全有效的智能卡远程用户认证方案

2000年,Hwang和Li提出了一个新的智能卡远程用户认证方案,随后Chan和Cheng对该方案进行了成功的攻击.最近Shen,Lin和Hwang针对该方案提出了一种不同的攻击方法,并提供了一个改进方案用于抵御这些攻击.2003年,Leung等认为Shen-Lin-Hwang改进方案仍然不能抵御Chan和Cheng的攻击,他们用改进后的Chang-Hwang攻击方法进行了攻击.文中主要在Hwang-Li方案的基础上,提出了一个新的远程用户认证方案,该方案主要在注册阶段和登录阶段加强了安全性,抵御了类似Chan-Cheng和Chang-Hwang的攻击.     

Evolutionary Prisoner's Dilemma on heterogeneous Newman-Watts small-world network

We focus on the heterogeneity of social networks and its role to the emergence of prevailing cooperators and sustainable cooperation. The social networks are representative of the interaction relationships between players and their encounters in each round of games. We study an evolutionary Prisoner's Dilemma game on a variant of Newman-Watts small-world network, whose heterogeneity can be tuned by a parameter. It is found that optimal cooperation level exists at some intermediate topological heterogeneity for different temptations to defect. That is, frequency of cooperators peaks at a certain specific value of degree heterogeneity — neither the most heterogeneous case nor the most homogeneous one would favor the cooperators. Besides, the average degree of networks and the adopted update rule also affect the cooperation level.
