The Polyhedral Geometry of Pivot Rules and Monotone Paths
Motivated by the analysis of the performance of the simplex method we study the behavior of families of pivot rules of linear programs. We introduce normalized-weight pivot rules which are fundamental for the following reasons: First, they are memory-less, in the sense that the pivots are governed by local information encoded by an arborescence. Second,

Filtration of Non-Monotonic Rules for Fuzzy Rule Base Compression [PDF]
This paper proposes a rule base compression method for fuzzy systems. The method is based on filtration of rules with identical linguistic values for the output that are known as non-monotonic rules. The filtration removes the redundant computations in the fuzzy inference with respect to the crisp values of the inputs to the fuzzy system.

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.

Monotonicity and sharp inequalities related to complete $(p,q)$-elliptic integrals of the first kind
With the aid of the monotone L’Hôpital rule, the authors verify monotonicity of some functions involving complete $(p,q)$-elliptic integrals of the first kind and the inverse of generalized hyperbolic tangent function, derive several sharp inequalities ...

Bargaining with nonanonymous disagreement: Monotonic rules
We analyze bargaining situations where the agents’ payoffs from disagreement depend on who among them breaks down the negotiations. We model such problems as a superset of the standard domain of Nash (1950). On our extended domain, we analyze the implications of two central properties which, on the Nash domain, are known to be incompatible: strong ...

Functional inequalities for the Bickley function [PDF]
In this paper our aim is to deduce some complete monotonicity properties and functional inequalities for the Bickley function. The key tools in our proofs are the classical integral inequalities, like Chebyshev, H\"older-Rogers, Cauchy-Schwarz, Carlson ...

An Approximate Inference Scheme Based on Distance-Induced Relations: Weld Forming Prediction
The construction of fuzzy conditional relations has been considered in Raha’s similarity-based inference schema, but inappropriate conclusions will be drawn in some cases due to the use of a single modification function.

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.

Condorcet's Principle and the Preference Reversal Paradox [PDF]
We prove that every Condorcet-consistent voting rule can be manipulated by a voter who completely reverses their preference ranking, assuming that there are at least 4 alternatives. This corrects an error and improves a result of [Sanver, M. R.

New Cusa-Huygens type inequalities
Using the monotone form of the L'Hôspital rule, we discuss the (absolute) monotonicity of the functions $U\left(x\right)=\frac{1}{x^{4}}-% \frac{1}{x^{5}}\frac{3\sin x}{\cos x+2}$, $G(x)=\frac{1}{x^{2}}\left[\frac{% \ln\sin x-\ln x}{\ln\left(2+\cos x ...
