Cooperative games with overlapping coalitions [PDF]

, 2010
In the usual models of cooperative game theory, the outcome of a coalition formation process is either the grand coalition or a coalition structure that consists of disjoint coalitions. However, in many domains where coalitions are associated with tasks,

Microbial Syntrophy Drives Methanogenesis From Residual Hydrocarbons in Anaerobic Oil Sands Tailings. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol
Methane production from residual hydrocarbons in anaerobic oil sands tailings is shaped by interactions between bacterial and archaeal groups. Shapley‐based attribution reveals differences between microbial contributions and relative abundance, while variation across sites and stages highlights the role of environmental context in methane production ...

Integrating Knowledge Management Into ERP Selection: A Fuzzy Multi‐Criteria Decision‐Making Model Based on Gray Theory in the Automotive Industry

Knowledge and Process Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are integrated business management tools used by organizations to manage data and processes across various functions. While financial and technical considerations remain central to ERP selection, sustainable success also depends on the system's ability to support Knowledge Management (KM).

Dynamic Performance Enhancement of a High‐Agility Hypersonic Mechanical System via a Learning‐Augmented Robust Control Architecture

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The design of control systems for high‐agility mechanical systems operating in extreme environments is a significant challenge in nonlinear dynamics. This paper addresses the complex dynamic control problem of a hypersonic interceptor, modeled as a multi‐input multi‐output (MIMO) mechanical system characterized by strong aerodynamic cross ...

Modeling Incentive‐Driven Cooperation in Agricultural Water Use Under Unequal Withdrawal Condition

Water Resources Research
Water allocation has long been framed as a general optimization problem in which users compete for a finite resource, leading much of the existing literature to adopt a top‐down perspective on how water should be distributed among users.

Rock, paper, pigeon: Exploring speculative ecologies through more‐than‐human play

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract As interactive technologies and playful storytelling increasingly explore posthuman and more‐than‐human perspectives, opportunities emerge to reframe natureculture heritage—as it recognizes that human lives, technologies and societies are always connected with the lives and environments of other species and ecosystems—as intrinsically ...

Payoff-dependant Balancedness and Cores. [PDF]

We prove the non-emptiness of the core of an NTU game satisfying a condition of payoff-dependent balancedness, based on transfer rate mappings. We also define a new equilibrium condition on transfer rates and we prove the existence of core payoff vectors

The Long Trajectory of Rubber Physics: 3500+ Years and Counting

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Natural rubber's trajectory is traced from Mesoamerican use of Castilla elastica through vulcanization and the pneumatic tire to macromolecular physics and modern solid‐state refrigeration. Illustrations of C. elastica and an H. brasiliensis plantation frame the historical progression from indigenous material, then industrial crop and on to advanced ...

Sliding Mode Control in Aerospace Applications: A Survey

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sliding mode control (SMC) enjoys robustness to matched and unmatched (in the case of minimum phase input‐output dynamics) bounded perturbations, and finite time convergence. Second‐order and higher‐order sliding mode control systems (2‐SMC/HOSMC) retain all the advantages of sliding mode control, but in addition can be applied to systems of ...
