Non-monotonic reasoning rules for energy efficiency [PDF]
Conflicting rules and rules with exceptions are very common in natural language specification employed to describe the behaviour of devices operating in a real-world context. This is common exactly because those specifications are processed by humans, and humans apply common sense and strategic reasoning about those rules to resolve the conflicts.

Using an Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm for Monotonic Regression Rule Discovery [PDF]
Many data mining algorithms do not make use of existing domain knowledge when constructing their models. This can lead to model rejection as users may not trust models that behave contrary to their expectations.

On Qi’s Normalized Remainder of Maclaurin Power Series Expansion of Logarithm of Secant Function
In the study, the authors introduce Qi’s normalized remainder of the Maclaurin power series expansion of the function lnsecx=−lncosx; in view of a monotonicity rule for the ratio of two Maclaurin power series and by virtue of the logarithmic convexity of

Monotonicity rules for the ratio of two Laplace transforms with applications [PDF]
Let $f$ and $g$ be both continuous functions on $\left( 0,\infty \right) $ with $g\left( t\right) >0$ for $t\in \left( 0,\infty \right) $ and let $ F\left( x\right) =\mathcal{L}\left( f\right) $, $G\left( x\right) =\mathcal{L }\left( g\right) $ be respectively the Laplace transforms of $f$ and $g$ converging for $x>0$. We prove that if there is a

Monotonicity and Implementability
Consider an environment with a finite number of alternatives, and agents with private values and quasilinear utility functions. A domain of valuation functions for an agent is a monotonicity domain if every finite-valued monotone randomized allocation ...

On Hopital-style rules for monotonicity and oscillation
We point out the connection of the so-called H pital-style rules for monotonicity and oscillation to some well-known properties of concave/convex functions. From this standpoint, we are able to generalize the rules under no differentiability requirements and greatly extend their usability.

Monotonicity Violations by Borda’s Elimination and Nanson’s Rules: A Comparison
This paper compares the vulnerability of Borda Elimination Rule (BER) and of Nanson Elimination Rule (NER) to monotonicity paradoxes under both fixed and variable electorates. It is shown that while NER is totally immune and BER is vulnerable to monotonicity failure in 3-candidate elections, neither of these two rules dominates the other in n-candidate

GENERALIZED FRACTION RULES FOR MONOTONICITY WITH HIGHER ANTIDERIVATIVES AND DERIVATIVES [PDF]
AbstractWe first introduce the generic versions of the fraction rules for monotonicity, i.e., the one that involves integrals known as Gromov’s theorem and the other that involves derivatives known as L’Hôpital’s rule for monotonicity, which we then extend to high-order antiderivatives and derivatives, respectively.
