An application of the representations of symmetric groups to characterizing solutions of games in partition function form
Journal Title: Operations Research and Decisions - Year 2014, Vol 24, Issue 2
Abstract
A different perspective from the more “traditional” approaches to studying solutions of games in partition function form has been presented. We provide a decomposition of the space of such games under the action of the symmetric group, for the cases with three and four players. In particular, we identify all the irreducible subspaces that are relevant to the study of linear symmetric solutions. We then use such a decomposition to derive a characterization of the class of linear and symmetric solutions, as well as of the class of linear, symmetric and efficient solutions.

The number of stable matchings in models of the Gale-Shapley type with preferences given by partial orders
From the famous Gale–Shapley theorem we know that each classical marriage problem admits at least one stable matching. This fact has inspired researchers to search for the maximum number of possible stable matchings, whi...
Barriers to the development of spin-offs. A fuzzy-set-theoretic approach
University spin-offs have idiosyncratic strengths in comparison to other new firms. However, evidence also shows that Polish university spin-offs have a low survival rate, and only a small percent of them grow into susta...
An EWMA control chart for the exponential distribution using repetitive sampling plan
A new EWMA control chart has been proposed under repetitive sampling when a quantitative characteristic follows the exponential distribution. The properties of the proposed chart, including the average run lengths has be...
On the performance of modified EWMA charts using resampling schemes
Two popular sampling schemes have been used to design control charts by means of a modified exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) statistic. The structures of the proposed charts, using repetitive group sampling a...
Modelling the steady state of sewage networks as a support tool for their planning and analysis
Fundamental questions connected with the modelling of communal sewage networks have been considered and formulas used to model the functioning of the basic network have been analyzed. The problem described concerns gravi...
