This paper studies information collecting (IC) situations with the help of cooperative game theory. Relations are established between IC situations and IC games on one hand and information sharing (IS) situations and IS games on the other hand. Further, it is shown that IC games are convex...

Convex quadratic programming (QP) is of reviving interest in the last few years, since in connection with interior point methods Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) has been assessed as a powerful algorithmic scheme for solving nonlinear constraint optimization problems.  In this paper we...
