Supermodularity and Complementarity
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce the concept of lattices, supermodular functions, and optimal decision models for cooperative games and non-cooperative games, and present a review of the literature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative Statics of the Firm
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider a general model of the firm and give sufficient conditions for complementarities to hold and for optimal decisions to be monotone with a parameter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activity optimization games with complementarity
TL;DR: In this article, a general class of cooperative games, activity optimization games with complementarity, is presented, which involve interactions by a number of players controlling complex systems of complementary activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acyclic k -connected subgraphs for distributed alternate routing in communications networks
Moshe Segal,Donald M. Topkis +1 more
TL;DR: In a communication network with a history-independent distributed routing control for calls to a particular destination, performance is enhanced if there is a sufficiently diverse alternate routing capability and if cycles are avoided while a path is created.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paths on polymatroids
TL;DR: Bounds on the length of certain strictly monotone paths, relative to a given linear objective function, on a polymatroid or on the base of a polyMatroid are established.
