Further open problems in cooperative games
Journal Title: Operations Research and Decisions - Year 2014, Vol 24, Issue 4
Abstract
In 2013, the International Game Theory Review published two special issues on open problems in cooperative games: the first regarding theory and the second applications. In this paper, our aim is to present some problems currently “on our table” that were not included in the two issues mentioned above, either because the topics were too specific or they arose after publication. The problems are divided into theoretical problems, general models that may be applied to different fields and applicative problems.

Using a multicriteria interactive approach in scheduling non-critical activities
A typical project consists of many activities. Logical dependencies cause some of them to be critical and some non-critical. While critical activities have a strict start time, in some projects the problem of selecting t...
Are we done with preference rankings? If we are, then what?
Intransitive, incomplete and discontinuous preferences are not always irrational but may be based on quite reasonable considerations. Hence, we pursue the possibility of building a theory of social choice on an alternati...
Choquet integral calculus on a continuous support and its applications
The results of the calculation of the Choquet integral of a monotone function on the nonnegative real line have been described. Next, the authors prepresented Choquet integral of nonmonotone functions, by constructing mo...
Real options in a systemic approach to the timing problem in development projects
The management environment at the beginning of the XXI century is characterized by high volatility. Development projects should take into account not only certain deliverables but also any opportunities that may arise. T...
