The Maximal Payoff and Coalition Formation in Coalitional Games [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2008
This paper first establishes a new core theorem using the concept of generated payoffs: the TU (transferable utility) core is empty if and only if the maximum of generated payoffs (mgp) is greater than the grand coalition's payoff v(N), or if and only if it is irrational to split v(N). It then provides answers to the questions of what payoffs to split,

Optimizing Coalition Formation Strategies for Scalable Multi-Robot Task Allocation: A Comprehensive Survey of Methods and Mechanisms

Robotics
In practical applications, the utilization of multi-robot systems (MRS) is extensive and spans various domains such as search and rescue operations, mining operations, agricultural tasks, and warehouse management. The surge in demand for MRS has prompted

Coalition Game-Based Secure and Effective Clustering Communication in Vehicular Cyber-Physical System (VCPS)

Sensors, 2017
In this paper, we address the low efficiency of cluster-based communication for the crossroad scenario in the Vehicular Cyber-Physical System (VCPS), which is due to the overload of the cluster head resulting from a large number of transmission bandwidth ...

Computational Complexity in Additive Hedonic Games [PDF]

We investigate the computational complexity of several decision problems in hedonic coalition formation games and demonstrate that attaining stability in such games remains NP-hard even when they are additive.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Equilibrium Coalition Structures in Three-Player Symmetric Games

Games
In symmetric games with externalities across coalitions, we investigate how three players form coalitions using two solutions: n∗, which is a focal prediction of coalition structure in a class of noncooperative coalitional bargaining games, and ...

Coalition Formation in a Global Warming Game: How the Design of Protocols Affects the Success of Environmental Treaty-Making [PDF]

We combine the newest concepts of non-cooperative coalition theory with a computable general equilibrium model close to the seminal RICE-model of Nordhaus and Yang (1996) to determine stable coalition structures in a global warming game.

A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These
