We apply three equilibrium selection techniques to study which equilibrium is selected in a hawk–dove game with a multiplicity of equilibria. By using a uniform-price auction as an illustrative example, we find that when the demand in the aucti...
As modern medical technology advances, the utilization of gene expression data has proliferated across diverse domains, particularly in cancer diagnosis and prognosis monitoring. However, gene expression data is often characterized by high dimensiona...
The purpose of this paper is an analysis of the presence of self-selection mechanisms on the market that could bring the market closer to the separating equilibrium state, in line with the Rothschild–Stiglitz equilibrium model and its subsequen...
Institutions may rely on fundamental principles, e.g., of legal philosophy, but may also have evolved according to institutional fitness, as gauged by a society’s well-being. In our stylized framework where two fundamental principles, equality...
Environmental pollution caused by coal gangue has been a significant challenge for sustainable development; thus, many coal gangue reduction approaches have been proposed in recent years. In particular, coal gangue facility (CGF) construction has been...
Supply chain management begins with supplier evaluation and selection. The supplier selection deals with various criteria with different contexts which makes it a complex multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method. In this paper, a novel MCDM metho...
A prerequisite for refined load management, crucial for intelligent energy management, is the precise classification of electric loads. However, the high dimensionality of electric load samples and poor identification accuracy of industrial scenarios...
The rapid growth in biomedical datasets has generated high dimensionality features that negatively impact machine learning classifiers. In machine learning, feature selection (FS) is an essential process for selecting the most significant features an...
Theoretical models on network formation focus mostly on the stability and efficiency of equilibria, but they cannot deliver an understanding of why specific equilibrium networks are selected or whether they are all actually reachable from any startin...
High fidelity gene transcription and replication require kinetic discrimination of nucleotide substrate species by RNA and DNA polymerases under chemical non-equilibrium conditions. It is known that sufficiently large free energy driving force is nee...
In this paper, first, an evolutionary game model for Bayes-based strategy updating rules was constructed, in which players can only observe a signal that reveals a strategy type instead of the strategy type directly, which deviates from the strategy...
Evolutionary theory suggests that the origin, persistence, and evolution of biology is driven by the “natural selection” of characteristics improving the differential reproductive success of the organism in the given environment. The theo...
We auction scarce rights to play the Proposer and Responder positions in ultimatum games. As a control treatment, we randomly allocate these rights and charge exogenous participation fees. These participation fee sequences match the auction price seq...
When exposed to a thermal gradient, reaction networks can convert thermal energy into the chemical selection of states that would be unfavourable at equilibrium. The kinetics of reaction paths, and thus how fast they dissipate available energy, might...
We consider a clearing problem in peer-to-peer energy markets, where prosumers can trade energy among each other and with the main grid to meet their energy demands. By using a game-theoretic formulation and exploiting operator-theoretic methods for...
Intuitively, we expect that players who are allowed to engage in costless communication before playing a game would be foolish to agree on an inefficient outcome amongst the set of equilibria. At the same time, however, such preplay communication has...
Image watermarking is the process of securely embedding a higher amount of information in the host object. These processes ensure authentication, image integration, and content verification. Several existing methods face complicated problems, such as...
A thermodynamically consistent model framework to describe ion transport in nanopores is presented. The continuum model unifies electro-diffusion and selective ion transport and extends the classical Poisson–Nernst–Planck (PNP) system for...
The RNA world is one of the principal hypotheses to explain the emergence of living systems on the prebiotic Earth. It posits that RNA oligonucleotides acted as both carriers of information as well as catalytic molecules, promoting their own replicat...
In this paper, we analyze the long run dynamics of a multi-agent game played on a one-dimensional lattice with periodic boundary conditions, i.e., a ring. Agents repeatedly play a 2 × 2 coordination game with neighbors where the payoff dominant actio...
To address urban traffic congestion, researchers have made various efforts to mitigate issues such as prolonged travel time, fuel wastage, and pollutant emissions. These efforts primarily involve microscopic route selection from the vehicle perspecti...

In this paper, we discuss the demand side management (DSM) problem: how to incentivize a consumer to equalize the load during the day through price-dependent demand. Traditionally, the retail market offers several electricity payment schemes. A schem...
In this paper, a new multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) method, called a measure for information values connected to the equilibrium points (IVEP) method, and a new statistical measure for measuring the similarities of performances of MCDM algorith...
The spontaneous emergence of macroscopic dissipative structures in systems driven by generalized chemical potentials is well established in non-equilibrium thermodynamics. Examples include atmospheric/oceanic currents, hurricanes and tornadoes, Rayle...
One of the most frequent cancers in women is breast cancer, and in the year 2022, approximately 287,850 new cases have been diagnosed. From them, 43,250 women died from this cancer. An early diagnosis of this cancer can help to overcome the mortality...
The selectivity of measurements by means of affinity sensors in (quasi)equilibrium conditions and in non-equilibrium conditions was compared. The results show that the measurements in non-equilibrium conditions can reduce or even eliminate a relative...
An efficient data-driven prediction strategy for multi-antenna frequency-selective channels must operate based on a small number of pilot symbols. This paper proposes novel channel-prediction algorithms that address this goal by integrating transfer...
