Set-weighted games and their application to the cover problem
European Journal of Operational Research. 2023. Vol. 305. No. 1. P. 438–450.
The cover of a transport, social, or communication network is a computationally complex problem. To deal with it, this paper introduces a special class of simple games in which the set of minimal winning coalitions coincides with the set of least covers. A distinctive feature of such a game is that it has a weighted form, in which weights and quota are sets rather than real numbers. This game class is termed set-weighted games. A real-life network has a large number of least covers, therefore this paper develops methods for analyzing set-weighted games in which the weighted form is taken into account. The necessary and sufficient conditions for a simple game to be a set-weighted game were found. The vertex cover game (Gusev, 2020) was shown to belong to the set-weighted game class, and its weighted form was found. The set-weighted game class has proven to be closed under operations of union and intersection, which is not the case for weighted games. The sample object is the transport network of a district in Petrozavodsk, Russia. A method is suggested for efficiently deploying surveillance cameras at crossroads so that all transport network covers are taken into account.

Три с половиной года остаётся до 2030-го – окончания срока реализации Целей устойчивого развития (ЦУР) – главной международной инициативы, устанавливающей долгосрочные ориентиры для будущего человечества. Уже очевидно, что она провалилась: преодоление бедности, решение экологических проблем и построение инклюзивного и справедливого общества остались красивой мечтой. Кто-то может воспринимать ЦУР как памятник человеческой наивности. Но надо понимать, что эта ...

Green transitions are widely expected to attract cleaner capital and accelerate decarbonization; however, emerging-economy evidence increasingly challenges this assumption. This study examines the dynamic relationship between energy transition indicators and capital inflows in BRICS+ economies over the period 1996–2022, explicitly testing the “Green Haven” hypothesis under conditions of global uncertainty. Unlike much of the existing ...

The chapter contains an overview of results on products of propositional modal logics and related constructions: semiproducts, Segerberg squares, and others. We focus mainly on axiomatizations, finite model property, and decidability; we also sketch connections with classical and modal predicate logics. In some cases we give ideas of proofs, especially of those using games. ...

The paper examines some structural parallels between normative standards in logic and game theory. On the one hand, the standard view holds that both logic and game theory are normative disciplines. On the other hand, their normative status remains a subject of debate. It is shown that parallel research programs have emerged within logic and ...

The article investigates the existence of a stable coalition structure in coalition partition games dealing with a system of distinct representatives. The system of distinct representatives, or the transversal, is a coalition of agents whose members represent different groups. An agent gains utility if he/she belongs to a transversal. The transversal value of a cooperative ...

Transitions between metastable equilibria in the low-temperature phase of dynamical Ising game with activity spillover are studied in the infinite time limit. It is shown that exponential enhancement due to activity spillover, which takes place in finite-time transitions, is absent in the infinite time limit. In order to demonstrate that, the analytical description for infinite ...
