Order Monotonic Solutions for Generalized Characteristic Functions [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2013 Generalized characteristic functions extend characteristic functions of 'classical' TU-games by assigning a real number to every ordered coalition being a permutation of any subset of the player set. Such generalized characteristic functions can be applied when the earnings or costs of cooperation among a set of players depend on the order in which the

On the monotonicity of games generated by symmetric submodular functions
Discrete Applied Mathematics, 2001 Submodular functions have appeared to be a key tool for proving the monotonicity of several graph searching games. In this paper we provide a general game theoretic framework able to unify old and new monotonicity results in a unique min-max theorem.

On lower bounds for the variance of functions of random variables [PDF]
, 2021 summary:In this paper, we obtain lower bounds for the variance of a function of random variables in terms of measures of reliability and entropy. Also based on the obtained characterization via the lower bounds for the variance of a function of random ...

CONES OF MONOTONE FUNCTIONS GENERATED BY A GENERALIZED FRACTIONAL MAXIMAL FUNCTION
Turkic World Mathematical Society (TWMS) Journal of Pure and Applied MathematicsIn this paper, we consider the generalized fractional maximal function and use it to introduce the space of generalized fractional maximal functions and the various cones of monotone functions generated by generalized fractional maximal functions $M_Φf$. We introduced three function classes.

Monotonic regression based on Bayesian P-splines: an application to estimating price response functions from store-level scanner data [PDF]
, 2003 Generalized additive models have become a widely used instrument for flexible regression analysis. In many practical situations, however, it is desirable to restrict the flexibility of nonparametric estimation in order to accommodate a presumed monotonic

A generation method for completely monotone functions
Applicable Analysis and Discrete Mathematics, 2019 In this article we present technique how to produce completely monotone functions using linear functionals and already known families of completely monotone functions. After that, using mean value theorems, we construct means of Cauchy type that have monotonicity properties.
