Potential games and well-posedness properties

The aim of this article is to study potential games which are a special class of games, in fact their properties are dictated by a single function called the potential function. We consider Tikhonov well-posedness and other well-posedness properties introduced by the authors in Margiocco et al. (Margiocco, M., Patrone, F. and Pusillo Chicco, L., 1997, A new approach to Tikhonov well–posedness for Nash equilibria. Optimization, 40, 385–400) Margiocco and Pusillo (Margiocco, M. and Pusillo, L., Value bounded approximations for Nash equilibria, Preprint, Submitted). We relate these properties with the Tikhonov well posedness of the potential function as maximum problem.     

Existence of minmax points in discontinuous strategic games

In this note we prove the existence of minmax points for strategic form games where the sets of strategies are topological spaces and the payoff functions satisfy conditions weaker than continuity. The employed tools are the class of transfer weakly upper continuous functions and the class of weakly lower pseudocontinuous functions. An example shows that our result is of minimal character.     

Generalized Hadamard well-posedness for infinite vector optimization problems

In this paper, we study the generalized Hadamard well-posedness of infinite vector optimization problems (IVOP). Without the assumption of continuity with respect to the first variable, the upper semicontinuity and closedness of constraint set mappings are established. Under weaker assumptions, sufficient conditions of generalized Hadamard well-posedness for IVOP are obtained under perturbations of both the objective function and the constraint set. We apply our results to the semi-infinite vector optimization problem and the semi-infinite multi-objective optimization problem.     

An ordinal well-posedness property for Nash equilibria

The aim of this article is to give, for Nash equilibria, a well-posedness criterion in the form of an ordinal property. This property is important for games because it captures the case when players' decisions depend on preferences and not on a special choice of a utility function. The ordinal characteristics of this well-posedness criterion comes from considering value-bounded approximate equilibria.

Hadamard type inequality for quasiconvex functions in higher dimensions

In this article we study a Hadamard type inequality for nonnegative evenly quasiconvex functions. The approach of our study is based on the notion of abstract convexity. We also provide an explicit calculation to evaluate the asymptotically sharp constant associated with the inequality over a unit square in the two-dimensional plane.     

Bernstein polynomial and discontinuous functions

We obtain new estimates of the rate of convergence of Bernstein operators for discontinuous functions on [0,1]$[0,1]$ which can be used to derive known results for continuous functions and functions of bounded variation.

Starlikeness of Hadamard product of certain analytic functions

An interesting criterion was given by Lashin (A.Y. Lashin, Some convolution properties of analytic functions, Appl. Math. Lett. 18 (2005) 135–138) to be starlike for convolution of analytic functions f, g such that Re[f^′(z)],Re[g^′(z)]β,,β<1 in the unit disc U. In this paper we shall improve this criterion.

Multisided matching games with complementarities

The paper considers multisided matching games with transfereable utility using the approach of cooperative game theory. Stable matchings are shown to exist when characteristic functions are supermodular, i.e., agents' abilities to contribute to the value of a coalition are complementary across types. We analyze the structure of the core of supermodular matching games and suggest an algorithm for constructing its extreme payoff vectors. Received February 1997/Final version September 1998     

On left Hadamard transversals in non-solvable groups

Let G be a group of order 4n and t an involution of G. A 2n-subset R of G is called a left Hadamard transversal of G with respect to 〈t〉 if G=R〈t〉 and for some subsets S₁ and S₂ of G. Let H be a subgroup of G such that G=[G,G]H, t∈H, and t^G⊄H, where t^G is the conjugacy class of t and [G,G] is the commutator subgroup of G. In this article, we show that if R satisfies a condition , then R is a (2n,2,2n,n) relative difference set and one can construct a v×v integral matrix B such that BB^T=B^TB=(n/2)I, where v is a positive integer determined by H and t^G (see Theorem 2.6). Using this we show that there is no left Hadamard transversal R satisfying (*) in some simple groups.

It is shown that the space of all regular maximal ideals in the Banach algebra with respect to the Hadamard product is isomorphic to The multiplicative functionals are exactly the evaluations at the -th Taylor coefficient. It is a consequence that for a given function in and for a function holomorphic in a neighborhood of with and for all the function is in

     

Reductions of interval noncooperative games

Noncooperative games of a finite number of persons with interval-valued payoff functions are considered. The concept of an equilibrium situation is introduced. A reduction of such games to deterministic noncooperative games is proposed. Properties of the reduced games are discussed. Interval antagonistic and bimatrix games are examined, and illustrative examples are considered.     

The not-quite non-atomic game: Non-emptiness of the core in large production games

We show that, in cooperative production games, when the production functions are not concave, the core may well be empty. However, as the number of players increases (subject to some regularity conditions), the relative deficit obtained by using concavified functions decreases to zero. Furthermore, differentiability of the functions will cause the absolute deficit to go to zero.
