We study a basic sequential model for the discovery of winning coalitions in a simple game, well known from its use in defining the Shapley-Shubik power index. We derive in a uniform way a family of measures of collective and individual…

We first present a probabilistic version of ACP that rests on the principle that probabilistic choices are always resolved before choices involved in alternative composition and parallel composition are resolved and then extend this…

Numerous works propose post-hoc, model-agnostic explanations for learning to rank, focusing on ordering entities by their relevance to a query through feature attribution methods. However, these attributions often weakly correlate or…

We generalize current known distribution results on Shanks--R\'enyi prime number races to the case where arbitrarily many residue classes are involved. Our method handles both the classical case that goes back to Chebyshev and function…

We give an explicit coinduction principle for recursively-defined stochastic processes. The principle applies to any closed property, not just equality, and works even when solutions are not unique. The rule encapsulates low-level analytic…

We propose a sequential optimizing betting strategy in the multi-dimensional bounded forecasting game in the framework of game-theoretic probability of Shafer and Vovk (2001). By studying the asymptotic behavior of its capital process, we…

We study approachability theory in the presence of constraints. Given a repeated game with vector payoffs, we characterize the pairs of sets (A,D) in the payoff space such that Player 1 can guarantee that the long-run average payoff…

We study the task of electing egalitarian sequences of $\tau$ committees given a set of agents with additive utilities for candidates available on each of $\tau$ levels. We introduce several rules for electing an egalitarian committee…

The principle of open determinacy for class games---two-player games of perfect information with plays of length $\omega$, where the moves are chosen from a possibly proper class, such as games on the ordinals---is not provable in…

Evolutionary game theory is a powerful framework for studying evolution in populations of interacting individuals. A common assumption in evolutionary game theory is that interactions are symmetric, which means that the players are…

According to Abel's lemma and the method of linear combinations, we establish numerous contiguous relations of $_3\phi_2$-series, which can be regarded as q-analogues of the contiguous relations of $_3F_2$-series due to Krattenthaler and…

We define the Schur-Agler class in infinite variables to consist of functions whose restrictions to finite dimensional polydisks belong to the Schur-Agler class. We show that a natural generalization of an Agler decomposition holds and the…

Random percolation can be fully interpreted as a confining pure gauge theory. With numerical high-precision measurements of Polyakov-Polyakov correlators at finite temperature, we could well observe the presence of shape effects due to…

We show that in the theory ZF + DC + for every cardinal {\lambda}, the set of infinite subsets of {\lambda} is well-ordered (i.e., Shelah's AX4), the {\theta}-function measuring the surjective size of the powersets P({\kappa}) can take…

We introduce parallelism into the basic algebra of games to model concurrent game algebraically. Parallelism is treated as a new kind of game operation. The resulted algebra of concurrent games can be used widely to reason the parallel…

Large graphs are sometimes studied through their degree sequences (power law or regular graphs). We study graphs that are uniformly chosen with a given degree sequence. Under mild conditions, it is shown that sequences of such graphs have…

The emergence of collective cooperation in competitive environments is a well-known phenomenon in biology, economics, and social systems. While most evolutionary game models focus on the evolution of strategies for a fixed game, how…
