Ranking friends [PDF]

open access: possibleJournal of Economic Behavior & Organization, 2012
We investigate the scope for cooperation within a community engaged in repeated reciprocal interactions. Players seek the help of others and approach them sequentially according to some fixed order, that is, a ranking profile. We study the ranking profiles that are most effective in sustaining cooperation in equilibrium, that is, profiles that support ...

When does rank( ABC ) = rank( AB ) + rank( BC ) - rank( B ) hold?

International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2002
The well-known Frobenius rank inequality established by Frobenius in 1911 states that the rank of the product ABC of three matrices satisfies the inequality rank(ABC) U rank(AB) + rank(BC)- rank(B) A new necessary and sufficient condition for equality to hold is presented and then some interesting consequences and applications are discussed.

Rankings and Ranking Functions

Canadian Journal of Mathematics, 1981
Suppose that n competitors compete in r races and in each race they are awarded placings l, 2, 3, …, n – 1, n. After the r races each competitor has a result consisting of his r placings. Let such a result be written (αj)1≦j≦r where for convenience the positive integers αj are arranged in ascending order.

Rankings of graphs

SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, 1995
A vertex (edge) coloring $\phi:V\rightarrow \{1,2,\ldots ,t\}$ ($\phi':E\rightarrow \{1,2,\ldots,$ $t\}$) of a graph G=(V,E) is a vertex (edge) t-ranking if, for any two vertices (edges) of the same color, every path between them contains a vertex (edge) of larger color. The {\em vertex ranking number} $\chi_{r}(G)$ ({\em edge ranking number} $\chi_{r}'

Ranking the role of RANK ligand in apoptosis

Apoptosis, 2004
Many members of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily are characterized by their ability to induce apoptosis once they bind in a homotrimeric manner to their cognate receptors. The receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL), a member of the TNF superfamily identified seven years ago, was originally described as a factor that induced ...

Ranking and adaptive ranking CDMA

IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, 2005
This paper develops an uplink transmission scheduling scheme, referred to as Ranking CDMA, which selects a subset of users for transmission at each time slot. We introduce long- and short-term metrics that characterize its performance, and devise analytical methods for evaluating these performance measures.
