We prove that essential games with endogenous sharing rules form a dense residual set and that every game with endogenous sharing rules has at least one minimal essential set of solutions. Furthermore, we establish that essential continuous games form a dense residual set and that every...

In this paper, we first obtain existence theorems of Nash equilibria for non-cooperative "n"- person games which generalize a corresponding result of Nikaido and Isoda (1955). As applications, we give two new existence theorems of [epsilon]-equilibrium points which generalize that of Tijs...

This article develops a Sustainability Informatics Framework, a framework that connects Information Technology with sustainability and is based on the Belief-Action-Outcome and Energy Informatics frameworks. The triple-bottom line (People, Planet, and Profit) is adopted as a criterion for...

In light of the continual substantial divergences between mainstream economics and econophysics in regard to the market efficiency of international oil price volatility, a model based on multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis is built up to conduct an in-depth research into the validity and...

We first present a proper condition under which the image of a set-valued mapping becomes a singleton and then obtain several generic uniqueness theorems which can be applied to study the uniqueness of the solutions for nonlinear problems. As applications, we prove that, in the sense of Baire...

A 50kg/h autothermal two-stage gasifier, consisting of a fluidized bed (FB) pyrolyzer and a downdraft fixed-bed gasifier, has been designed and built according to our previous laboratory researches. In the experiments, lignite gasification was performed in this innovative two-stage gasifier to...

Community detection is a very important problem in social network analysis. Classical clustering approach, K-means, has been shown to be very efficient to detect communities in networks. However, K-means is quite sensitive to the initial centroids or seeds, especially when it is used to detect...

The surface of La1/3Ca2/3MnO3 (LCMO) films with thickness, t, ranging from 4 to 150 nm has been studied. Highly ordered palpus-like crystals induced by strain are observed in the films grown on the substrate of SrTiO3 (with thickness t ranging from 20 to 50 nm) and on sapphire (with thickness t...
