Monotonicity rule for the quotient of two functions and its application [PDF]
Journal of Inequalities and Applications, 2017 In the article, we provide a monotonicity rule for the function [ P ( x ) + A ( x ) ] / [ P ( x ) + B ( x ) ] $[P(x)+A(x)]/[P(x)+B(x)]$ , where P ( x ) $P(x)$ is a positive differentiable and decreasing function defined on ( − R , R ) $(-R, R)$ ( R > 0 ...

Expedient and Monotone Learning Rules [PDF]
Econometrica, 2004 This paper considers learning rules for environments in which little prior and feedback information is available to the decision-maker. Two properties of such learning rules, absolute expediency and monotonicity, are studied.

Collective rationality and monotone path division rules [PDF]
Journal of Economic Theory, 2014 We impose the axiom Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives on division rules for the conflicting claims problem. With the addition of Consistency and Resource Monotonicity, this characterizes a family of rules which can be described in three different ...

Monotonicity of single-seat preferential election rules [PDF]
Discrete Applied Mathematics, 1997 AbstractVarious properties of preferential election rules are described, including nine forms of monotonicity. It is shown that Condorcet's principle is incompatible with many of them. Some progress is made towards the task of determining all maximal mutually compatible subsets of these properties.

Monotonicity rules for the ratio of power series [PDF]
In this paper, we present some monotonicity rules for the ratio of two power series $x\mapsto \sum_{k=0}^\infty a_k x^k / \sum_{k=0}^\infty b_k x^k$ under the assumption that the monotonicity of the sequence ${a_k/b_k}$ changes twice. Additionally, we introduce a local monotonicity rule in this paper.

Fuzzy clan games and bi-monotonic allocation rules [PDF]
Fuzzy Sets and Systems, 2003 In this paper the class of fuzzy clan games is introduced. The cores of such games have an interesting shape which inspires to define a class of compensation-sharing rules that are additive and stable on the cone of fuzzy clan games. Further, the notion of bi-monotonic participation allocation scheme (bi-pamas) is introduced and it turns out that each ...

Update monotone preference rules [PDF]
Mathematical Social Sciences, 2013 Collective decisions are modeled by preference correspondences (rules). In particular, we focus on a new condition: "update monotonicity" for preference rules. Although many so-called impossibility theorems for the choice rules are based on - or related to - monotonicity conditions, this appealing condition is satisfied by several non-trivial ...

Maskin-monotonic scoring rules [PDF]
Social Choice and Welfare, 2014 We characterize which scoring rules are Maskin-monotonic for each social choice problem as a function of the number of agents and the number of alternatives. We show that a scoring rule is Maskin-monotonic if and only if it satisfies a certain unanimity condition.

Drop out monotonic rules for sequencing situations [PDF]
Mathematical Methods of Operations Research, 2005 This note introduces a new monotonicity property for sequencing situations. A sequencing rule is called drop out monotonic if no player will be worse off whenever one of the players decides to drop out of the queue before processing starts. This intuitively appealing property turns out to be very strong: we show that there is at most one rule ...

Publications de l'Institut Mathematique, 2017 We study several operators T that when applied to both the numerator and denominator of an increasing, or decreasing, function u/v produce another increasing, or decreasing, function T(u)/T(v). We also give new proofs of the monotone form of L?Hopital?s rule and of Gromov?s theorem.
