Absorbing Sets in Coalitional Systems
The purpose of this paper is twofold: First, to present an approach and a solution for analyzing the stability of coalition structures: We define a coalitional system (a set and a binary relation on that set) that explains the transitions between coalition structures and we propose to solve these systems using the absorbing sets solution for abstract systems. Second, to perform an analysis of this approach to evidence its utility in determining the stable coalition structures for some socioeconomic problems. We find that the absorbing sets solution efficiently solves this class of coalitional systems.coalition structures, coalitional systems, absorbing sets solution
Internal Organization of Firms and Cartel Formation
We introduce and characterize a new solution concept for TU games. The new soluction is called SD-prenucleolus and is a lexicographic value although is not a weighted prenucleolus. The SD-prenucleolus satisfies several desirable poperties and is the only known solution that satisfies core stability, strong aggegate monotonicity and null player out property in the class of balanced games. The SD-prenucleolus is the only known solution that satisfies core stability continuity and is monotonic in the class of veto balanced games.absorbing sets solution, cartels, stability, strategic delegation

Quasidiagonality of nuclear C*-algebras
We prove that faithful traces on separable and nuclear C*-
algebras in the UCT class are quasidiagonal. This has a number of
consequences. Firstly, by results of many hands, the classification of
unital, separable, simple and nuclear C*-algebras of finite nuclear dimension
which satisfy the UCT is now complete. Secondly, our result
links the finite to the general version of the Toms-Winter conjecture
in the expected way and hence clarifies the relation between decomposition
rank and nuclear dimension. Finally, we confirm the Rosenberg
conjecture: discrete, amenable groups have quasidiagonal C*-algebras
A note on extended stable sets
Contains fulltext :
160073pub.pdf (publisher's version ) (Open Access)We study abstract decision problems by introducing an extended dominance
relation with respect to a set of alternatives. This extension is in between the traditional
dominance relation as formulated by Von Neumann and Morgenstern (Theory
of games and economic behavior, Princeton University Press, Princeton, 1944) and
the transitive closure of it. Subsequently, stable sets are defined and studied for this
extended relation. We formulate a characterization of stable sets for this relation and
an existence theorem. Finally, we discuss its relation with Von Neumann–Morgenstern
stable sets and generalized stable sets.12 april 201
