This paper proposes a class of independence axioms for simple acts. By introducing the <InlineEquation ID="IEq1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$${\mathcal {E}}$$</EquationSource> <EquationSource Format="MATHML"> <math xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <mi mathvariant="script">E</mi> </math> </EquationSource> </InlineEquation>-cominimum independence axiom that is stronger than the comonotonic independence axiom but weaker than the independence axiom, we provide a new axiomatization theorem of simple acts...</equationsource></equationsource></inlineequation>

The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we generalize Kajii et al. (J Math Econ 43:218–230, <CitationRef CitationID="CR16">2007</CitationRef>) and provide a condition under which for a game <InlineEquation ID="IEq1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$v$$</EquationSource> <EquationSource Format="MATHML"> <math xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <mi>v</mi> </math> </EquationSource> </InlineEquation>, its Möbius inverse is equal to zero within the framework of the <InlineEquation ID="IEq2"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$k$$</EquationSource> <EquationSource Format="MATHML"> <math xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <mi>k</mi> </math> </EquationSource> </InlineEquation>-modularity of <InlineEquation ID="IEq3"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$v$$</EquationSource> <EquationSource Format="MATHML"> <math xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <mi>v</mi> </math> </EquationSource> </InlineEquation> for <InlineEquation ID="IEq4"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$k \ge 2$$</EquationSource> <EquationSource Format="MATHML"> <math xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <mrow> <mi>k</mi>...</mo></mrow></math></equationsource></equationsource></inlineequation></equationsource></equationsource></inlineequation></equationsource></equationsource></inlineequation></equationsource></equationsource></inlineequation></citationref>

Recently, various types of Social Networking Service (SNS) have been actively utilized in many educational situations, and the effectiveness has been continuously reported. The aim of this paper is to develop a web based discussion support system, to introduce the proposed system to a real...

In order to describe partial cooperation structures, this paper introduces complete coalition structures as sets of feasible coalitions. A complete coalition structure has a property that, for any coalition, if each pair of players in the coalition belongs to some feasible coalition contained in...

This paper analyzes the situation in which a national government introduces environmental regulations. Within the framework of an international duopoly with environmental regulations, an environmental tax imposed by the government in the home country can induce a foreign firm with advanced...

We analyze the optimal timing of an irreversible foreign direct investment by a foreign firm and the optimal tax policy by a host country under ambiguity. We derive the optimal GDP level at which the foreign firm switches from exporting to a foreign direct investment. Furthermore, we derive the...
