ABSTRACT
lp: “The rainbow concept”
This work intends to prove that "social welfare" can coexist with the capitalist economic model
but if based on a "tri-polar" (instead of bipolar) perception of any interaction between people,
local communities, organizations, states, blocs Member ...including the Community (The
Intermediate Community- the "C" factor), in 3D space, with the community as “rainbow”
synthesis/analysis It is the “rainbow concept”1 If it is true, then it will be feasible a social
welfare policy in a new world that will not resemble the current (centralized structure) It also is
about the classification of the simplest singular theoretical points on an hypothetic surface C
(all bargaining behaviors) that do not depend on the orientation of C in space. This scientific
proposal, once recorded as such, classified and analyzed a number of other theories and
models, tried to put down a "new" concept of an alternative approach of "socio-economic
welfare" for the sole purpose to demonstrate that it is possible a new tri- polar concerning2
instead of bipolar crumbling over time, producing increasingly more injustice, inequality,
misery, depression This is able:
a. By defining and analyzing the set theory(Cantor3,4 and Zemelo5), Principal –Agent
theory6 the Ultimatum theory7 and the bargaining Nash theory8,9,10,11

b. by demonstrating and analyzing the incompatibilities of 5 famous theorems ant 3
theories:
It is a set theory (or an application of the set theory) because it is included in SET THEORY: Set
theory is the mathematical theory of well-determined collections, called sets, of objects that
are called members, or elements, of the set. Pure set theory deals exclusively with sets, so the
only sets under consideration are those whose members are also sets. it also obeys in the
axioms of extensionality, regularity (also called the Axiom of foundation), schema of
specification (also called the axiom schema of separation or of restricted comprehension),
pairing, union schema of replacement infinity power set Well-ordering theorem The theory of
"win-win-win” is included in the in ZFC set theory because it obeys the basic axioms of ZFC
Set Theory (Axiom of extensionality, Axiom of regularity (also called the Axiom of foundation),
Axiom schema of specification (also called the axiom schema of separation or of restricted
comprehension), Axiom of pairing Axiom of union Axiom schema of replacement Axiom of
infinity Axiom of power set Well-ordering theorem
The win-win-win papakonstantinidis model, consists from discrete and independed “parts”
with independed will and way of thinkings.These are fundamental prequisitions of a SET
From this point of view, win-win-win theory may be seen as “agency theory”, in the frame of
“SET theory” (Cantor)12 (ZFC)13: The concept here is that the "set theory" deals with sets which
informally are collections of objects. Any type of object can be collected into a set From this
point of view, the win-win-win perception includes “sets of behaviors” that obey in common
rules (axioms)
It is an “Agency Theory” (or an application of the agency theory) because the individual must
go beyond narrow personal interest and thought about the man who is to him and negotiates
with him. This is the core of the suggestion Due to agency theory win-win-win
papakonstantinidis “theory” help the researchers and University students to think twice (a) as
the principle and (b) as agent of the whole community so to win So, “agency theory”
introduces us to the double thinking leading thus, in limit, to a triple pole win (win-win-win)
Furthermore, the "agency theory" produces “behaviors” of a double direction: one for
him/her/self and the other for the "principle" The third part of negotiations (even under-
informed) can induce the other party to reveal their information. They can provide a menu of
choices in such a way that the choice depends on the private information of the other party14.

It is finally a bargaining theory (or an application of bargaining theory) as it relates to each
infinitesimal agreement or disagreement that people have when dealing with each other and
produce results fairly, or (most times) unjustly and even inequalities
The aim of this theoretical contribution (if it exists) is to highlight the "SENSITIZATION ability"
that everyone of us either relates to refugees, or in countries, whether in claiming or even in
our daily transactions It is time to stop looking only personal interest or “individual defense”
In particular, the proposal deals with the collecting, classifying and comparing the theoretical
material from various sources on the functioning of Social Welfare Function (SWF), towards
building a strong case with logical and coherent arguments, towards the one Triple Pole (A-B-
COMMUNITY) Equilibrium (TPE), different from N.E, that leads to the Social Bargaining
Solution” (SBS) and coincide with the "optimal" Community Collective Choice (CCC) in order to
create a highly versatile tool, “the win-win-win papakonstantinidis model” of well-formed
formulas (wffs),
Based on this model, in practical level, the ambitious is to create a series of new policies to
strengthen social welfare, despite the "impossibility theorem" (K. Arrow 1955)
I supported with arguments, that through "a simultaneous, reflective, strong effective (Pareto),
Flexible, fair (Rawls), collective (Amartya Sen) Social Welfare Function (SWF) in the frame of a
General Equilibrium (Walras), incompatibilities that incorporate the values of equality,
justice, harmony, symmetry, and the hypothesis, of self-organization (Papakonstantinidis) as
well as the hypothesis of self-supporting bargaining solution in a community level, should
exist and be the only one: the win-win-win equilibrium Win-win-win papakonstantinidis
situation is proposed as an extension of both “non-cooperative game”15 and the principal–
agent problem (also known as agency dilemma or theory of agency)16 under the constrains put
by the five theorems Especially, Pareto efficiency , as an economic state where resources are
allocated in the most efficient manner Pareto efficiency is obtained when a distribution
strategy exists where one party's situation cannot be improved without making another party's
situation worse. Pareto efficiency does not imply equality or fairness. Also known as "Pareto
optimality” (INVESTOPEDIA) Also, the theory of justice focus on the "veil of ignorance", along
with the original position, is a method of determining the morality of a certain issue (e.g.,
slavery) based upon the following thought experiment: parties to the original position know
nothing about their particular abilities, tastes, and position within the social order of society.
When such parties are selecting the principles for distribution of rights, positions, and
resources in the society they will live in, the veil of ignorance prevents them from knowing
about who they will be in that society. The question in which the paper gives answers is if it
possible and how to focus on social welfare (as the Arrow’s (1951) “Impossibility Theorem”
today disputed. We believe that the proposed (from the present work) and routed (by the
original applications in the Greek countryside) "win-win-win papakonstantinidis model" (since
2002), succeeds in "passing" of economic forms, and giving a welfare’s perspective
16 INVESTOPEDIA –DEFINITION conflict of interest inherent in any relationship where one party is expected to act in another's
best interests The problem is that the agent who is supposed to make the decisions that would best serve the principal is
naturally motivated by self-interest, and the agent's own best interests may differ from the principal's best interests. The agency
problem is also known as the "principal–agent problem."-also, see at Joseph E. Stiglitz and Andrew Weiss (1981) Credit

In practical level, the “win-win-win papakonstantinidis theory” produces results that may be
measured by application of the Central Limit Theory (CLT)17. Applying the CLT on a series of
answers from 512 people given to specific "closed" questions (questionnaire), -concerning
their appreciation for themselves negotiating behavior, enhances the theoretical structure of
the “win-win-win papakonstantinidis model”, adding a direct practical utility to it Since
thousands of negotiations that we do every day with other people who realize that "winners" -
"losers" converge as the number of negotiations (N) tends to infinity and from this point they
would accept a "third pole (Community)" above their own forces as long as necessary for this
pole should ensure fairness, equality, respect, self-organization over people
Finally, “win-win-win” may be suggested for CONTRASTING the dual systems’ (i.e Boolean
Algebra as well as Pirahã" linguistic recursion) transformation into a unique 3-pole system of
MIND
To strengthen the arguments in favor of a triangular perception of things, we will try to bring
it in Set Theory and see how the qualities of the "win-win-win” 'correspond 1-1 to basic

17Rice, John (1995), Mathematical Statistics and Data Analysis (Second ed.), Duxbury Press: In probability theory, the central limit theorem (CLT) states that, given certain conditions, the arithmetic mean of a sufficiently large number of iterates of independent random variables each with a well-defined expected value and well-defined variance will be approximately normally distributed regardless of the underlying distribution To illustrate what this means, suppose that a sample is obtained containing a large number of observations each observation being randomly generated in a way that does not depend on the values of the other observations, and that the arithmetic average of the observed values is computed. If this procedure is performed many times, the central limit theorem says that the computed values of the average will be distributed according to the normal distribution (commonly known as a "bell curve"). A simple example of this is that if one flips coin many times the probability of getting a given number of heads should follow a normal curve, with mean equal to half the total number of flips.

OBJECTIVE: To prove that “social welfare” exists and can coexist with the capitalist economic
model, if and only if it will be based on the contradiction of the relevant literature, thus leading
in a 3-polar "contract" between any parties, including the Community (The Intermediate
Community- the "C" factor), in a 3-dimensional space.
If it is true, then it will be feasible a social welfare policy in a new world that will not resemble
the current (centralized structure)

Beck, München, 1957, vol 5, 26–30 Carathéodory did publish this paper on a related subject but never committed the Conjecture into writing. The “Caratheodory Conjecture” claims that any convex, closed and sufficiently smooth surface in three dimensional Euclidean space needs to admit at least two umbilic points. In the sense of the Conjecture, the spheroid with only two umbilic points and the sphere, all points of which are umbilic, are examples of surfaces with minimal and maximal numbers of umbilics. For the conjecture to be well posed, or the umbilic points to be well-defined, the surface needs to be at least twice differentiable. 29As we have no better proof of thought-emotion expression from the language, we have approach this linguistic expression
and construction, in order to raise arguments accepting or rejecting the model. The emphasis is given to (a) psychological and
(b) personality factors, as well as to (c) linguistic recursion, as they help us to use surrogate proposals i. e "Mother told him,

incompatibility between “Justice Theory” (Rawls) and “Prioritarianism”34 : According to
Moreno-Ternero, Juan D. Roemer35, John E. The Veil of Ignorance (the fundamental
Principle of Justice Theory) violates Priority36: According to Professors (Moreno and
Roemer+) the veil of ignorance (of the Rawlsian “Justice” Philosophy), has been used often
as a tool for recommending what justice requires with respect to the distribution of
wealth. They completed Harsanyi’s model of the veil of ignorance by appending
information permitting objective comparisons among persons. For this, they introduced
the concept of objective empathy. They showed that the veil of ignorance conception of
John Harsanyi, so completed, and Ronald Dworkin’s37, when modeled formally,
recommend wealth allocations in conflict with the prominently espoused view that priority
should be given to the less able in wealth allocation38. They suggested that the veil of
ignorance should be rejected as a tool for discovering what justice requires. One of the
most obvious incapability concerns the “pair” “Social Justice-Utilitarianism”
6. to build a well-formed formulas (wffs) theorem, as to formulate an application of the
theory of sets free of paradoxes such as Russell’s paradox39:
7. To find “links” between different forms of “social welfare” The conjecture of “Justice versus
Utilitarianism”, especially in the light of Political Liberalism40 should focus on the essence
of the two concepts: Utilitarianism and social justice are two terms perfectly linked
together as critique of utilitarianism forms a crucial subplot in the complex analysis of
social justice Besides, social justice cannot be prioritarian The weaknesses of utilitarianism
indicate the need for an alternative theory, and at many stages of the argument the test
for the adequacy of the new theory that Rawls elaborates is whether it can be
demonstrated to be superior to the utilitarian rival. The account of social justice shifts in
the transition to Rawls’s second great book, Political Liberalism. Utilitarianism may be
understood as the doctrine that an institutional arrangement, a social policy, or an
individual action is morally right just in case it is the one that, compared to the available
alternatives, maximizes utility. Rawls assumes that justice is the overriding, preeminent
part of the morality of institutions, so he formulates the doctrine in this way: “society is
rightly ordered, and therefore just, when its major institutions are arranged so as to
achieve the greatest net balance of satisfactions summed over all the individuals

belonging to it He understands utility (human welfare) as the satisfaction of rational
desire. Rawls’s proposal that we should maximin rather than maximize leads to an
interesting standoff. The argument for maximin is not compelling, but straight additive
maximization of the utilitarian sort is revealed to be merely one possible function among
many, any of which (for all we know) correct morality might instruct us to maximize. Rawls
further urges that utilitarianism goes astray in taking the maximandum, the thing to be
maximized, to be utility rather than primary social goods. The argument for primary social
goods is not compelling, but it does not follow that utility alone is to be maximized. The
espousal of the ideal of legitimacy in Political Liberalism does not affect these conclusions,
8. To deal with the Utilitarianism We see below that Utilitarianism may be understood as the
doctrine that an institutional arrangement, a social policy, or an individual action is
morally right just in case it is the one that, compared to the available alternatives,
maximizes utility. Rawls assumes that justice is the overriding, preeminent part of the
morality of institutions, so he formulates the doctrine in this way: “society is rightly
ordered, and therefore just, when its major institutions are arranged so as to achieve the
greatest net balance of satisfactions summed over all the individuals belonging to it” He
understands utility (human welfare) as the satisfaction of rational desire. TAKING RIGHTS
SERIOUSLY Perhaps the animating philosophical idea in A Theory of Justice is that
utilitarianism does not take rights seriously, that not taking rights seriously is a grave
defect, and so we need a theory of justice that better fits our core convictions about ways
that people must not be treated. Slavery is morally wrong because it violates fundamental
moral rights of the persons who are enslaved. Suppression of speech intended to
persuade that concerns public affairs and how people might best conduct their lives is
morally wrong at least when the ground for suppression is the prospect of harm that
might be caused via the audience’s understanding of the speech. If the fundamental moral
requirement were to maximize human welfare, then it would seem that whether or not
slavery and suppression that violates the core of freedom of expression are morally wrong
would depend on the outcome of complex and uncertain empirical calculation about which
policies work best over the long run to achieve the utilitarian aim. Rawls observes that our
convictions regarding slavery and freedom of expression are not tentatively and
uncertainly held, and not held on the basis that utilitarianism posits. Even if a utilitarian
theory conjoined to a complex set of plausible empirical claims could support the
positions that slavery and violation of freedom of expression are morally wrong,
utilitarianism is in tension with the strength of our moral conviction in these matters and
seems not to capture our intuitive grounds for these convictions.
9. To “deal” with the “individuals rights. Hence we need a theory of rights, a genuine theory
of justice that makes sense of our core convictions about individual rights and extends
these core judgments to controversial cases in a plausible way. In a utilitarian moral
system, individual rights, if present at all, will be derived from the single fundamental aim
of utility or welfare maximization. Roughly, the idea is that the recognition and protection
of individual rights better promote the utilitarian goal than alternative practices, policies,
and acts. Rights function to simplify and coordinate decision making among imperfectly
informed individuals of limited reasoning powers and limited altruism. If we were to
eschew rights and directly apply the test of utility on each occasion of acting or
implementing social policies, the results would predictably be less successful, from the
standpoint of utility maximization, than the results of instituting and promoting the
recognition of rights. Recognition of rights involves proclaiming their moral importance
[Type text]
papakonstantinidis Page 13
and socializing and training individuals to give extra weight to rights that impinge on their
practical deliberations than to their own fallible utility calculations when these conflict
with rights. In this sense a utilitarian theory can take rights seriously without assigning
rights any non derivative moral significance. The utilitarian will also note that common-
sense agreement that rights are un-controversially decisive determinants of what we
ought to do is in a sense illusory. Many rights appear uncontroversial when they are stated
vaguely and at a high level of abstraction, so that the practical implications for policy of
acceptance of these abstract rights are highly uncertain. Take freedom of expression, for
example. Almost everyone is for free speech, but this appearance of unanimity quickly
dissolves if we ask what a right to free speech is supposed to entail in a host of complex
circumstances. It does not follow that there is no way to proceed except by appeal to
utility as John Stuart Mill argues, but the appearance that the embrace of utilitarianism
would force us to regard what are really simple and obvious moral truths as contingent
and uncertain matters is misleading. THE SEPARATENESS OF PERSONS Rawls urges that
utilitarianism “does not take seriously the distinction between persons” The objection is
that utilitarianism extends to interpersonal conflicts of interest a rule of maximizing
aggregate benefit that is morally unproblematic when what is at issue is conflict between
a person’s interests at earlier and later times of his life. Prudence dictates accepting a
smaller pain now to avoid a larger pain at a later time, and utilitarian maximization
dictates imposing on one person a smaller pain in order to avoid a larger pain for another
person. But in the intrapersonal case Jones now is compensated by the gain to the same
Jones later, whereas in the interpersonal case, a loss imposed on Smith is not
compensated by greater benefits that accrue to other persons. This last formulation might
suggest that Rawls intends to assert the principle that there should be no sacrifice
imposed on one individual for the benefit of others unless the individual who suffers
imposition is compensated.
10. To examine the compatibility or rejection of the veil of ignorance: the veil of ignorance, in
either its amended Harsanyi form or its amended Dworkin form, when viewed as a
mechanism for allocating wealth, is non-prioritarian. For those committed to
prioritarianism, as we have defined it in this article, this demonstration therefore provides
reason to reject the use of veil-of-ignorance arguments. But, perhaps more objectively,
one can ask, why should one not take their demonstration as implying that we should
reject prioritarianism as a principle of justice (and keep the veil of ignorance) They are
concerned with the following syllogism:
o Justice requires impartiality.
o Impartiality, as far as justice is concerned, is properly captured by the veil of
ignorance.
o The veil of ignorance is in general non-prioritarian.
o Therefore justice cannot (in general) be prioritarian41.

incompleteness theorems43 are among the most important results in modern logic44.

These discoveries revolutionized the understanding of mathematics and logic, and had
dramatic implications for the philosophy of mathematics. There have also been attempts
to apply them in other fields of philosophy, but the legitimacy of many such applications
is much more controversial.
o The first incompleteness theorem: Any effectively generated theory capable of
expressing elementary arithmetic cannot be both consistent and complete In
particular, for any consistent, effectively generated formal theory that proves
certain basic arithmetic truths, there is an arithmetical statement that is true,
but not provable in the theory.
EXAMPLE: For each consistent formal theory T having the required small
amount of number theory, the corresponding Gödel sentence G asserts:
"G cannot be proved within the theory T". This interpretation of G leads to
the following informal analysis
If G were provable under the axioms and rules of inference of T,
then T would have a theorem, G, which effectively contradicts itself, and thus
the theory T would be inconsistent. This means that if the theory T is
consistent then G cannot be proved within it, and so the theory T is
incomplete. Moreover, the claim G makes about its own un-provability is
correct. In this sense G is not only unprovable but true, and provability-
within-the-theory-T is not the same as truth. The formal proof reveals
exactly the hypotheses required for the theory T in order for the self-
contradictory nature of G to lead to a genuine contradiction
o The second incompleteness theorem, an extension of the first, shows that
such a system cannot demonstrate its own consistency. Given that the
consistency of a system can be proven outside of the given formal system,
Gödel says, The Second Incompleteness Theorem One big reason for the
expressed disconnect is that Gödel’s theorems are about formal axiom
systems of a kind that play no role in daily mathematical work. Informal
axiom systems for various kinds of structures are of course ubiquitous in
practice, viz. axioms for groups, rings, fields, vector spaces, topological
spaces, Hilbert spaces, etc., etc.; these axioms and their basic consequences
are so familiar it is rarely necessary to appeal to them explicitly, but they
serve to define one’s subject matter. They are to be contrasted with
foundational axiom systems for the “mother” structures--the natural numbers
(Peano) and the real numbers (Dedekind)--on the one hand, and for the
general concepts of set and function (Zermelo-Fraenkel)45,46 used throughout
mathematics, on the other47. Mathematicians may make explicit appeal to the
principle of induction for the natural numbers or the least upper bound
principle for the real numbers or the axiom of choice for sets, but reference
to foundational axiom systems in practice hardly goes beyond that. One

informal statement of the basic Peano axioms for the natural numbers is that
they concern a structure (N, 0, s) where 0 is in N, the successor function s
is a unary one-one map from N into N which does not have 0 in its range, and
the Induction Principle is satisfied in the following form: (IP) for any property
P(x), if P(0) holds and if for all x in N, P(x) implies P(s(x)) then for all x in N,
P(x) holds. But this is too indefinite to become the subject of precise logical
studies, and for that purpose one needs to say exactly which properties P are
admissible in (IP), and to do that one needs to specify a formal language L
within which we can single out a class of well-formed formulas (wffs) A which
express the admitted properties. And to do that we have to prescribe a list of
basic symbols and we have to say which finite sequences of basic symbols
constitute well-formed terms and which constitute wffs. Finally, we have to
specify which wffs are axioms (both logical and non-logical), and which
relations between wffs are instances of rules of inference. The wffs without
free variables are 3 those that constitute definite statements and are called
the closed formulas or sentences of L. All of this is what goes into specifying
a formal axiom system S. In the case of a formal version of the Peano axioms,
once its basic symbols are specified, and the logical symbols are taken to be
¬ (“not”), ∧ (“and”), ∨ (“or”), → (“implies”), ∀ (“for all”), and ∃ (“there exists”),
one puts in place of the Induction Principle an Induction Axiom Scheme: (IA)
)()((()0( xxAxAAxA
o where A is an arbitrary wff of the language L and A(t) indicates the result of
substituting the term t for all free occurrences of the variable x in A. N. B.
(IA) is not a single axiom but an infinite collection of axioms, each instance of
which is given by some wff A of our language. Besides zero and successor,
nothing of number-theoretical interest can be derived without expanding it to
include at least addition and multiplication. As shown by Dedekind, the
existence of those operations as given by their recursive defining conditions
can be established using (IP) applied to predicates P involving quantification
over functions. But for a formal axiom system PA (“Peano Arithmetic”) for
elementary number theory in which one quantifies only over numbers, one
needs to posit those operations at the outset. The basic vocabulary of PA is
thus taken to consist of the constant symbol 0 and the operation symbols s,
+ and × together with the relation symbol =. Then the axioms indicated
above for zero and successor are supplemented by axioms giving the
recursive characterizations of addition and multiplication, namely:
xyxysxandxyxsysxxx )*()(*..(..00*),..()(,..0
For example, "Theorem Impossible" (Kenneth Arrow, 1951) is a coherent
theorem proven by rigorous logic and mathematical thinking However,
according to the Theory of incompatibility (Gödel) precisely because it has the
consistency and provability with Axioms used through its own system,
theorem of Kenneth Arrow cannot have the required accessibility
[Type text]
papakonstantinidis Page 16
o It follows that possibly the "Theorem fails” (“Impossibility theorem") have
"gaps" that covers them through its own reasoning Informally, the reasoning
leading to the second incompleteness theorem is relatively simple. Given the
arithmetized provability predicate, it is also easy to present an arithmetized
consistency statement: pick some manifestly inconsistent formula (in
arithmetical theories, a standard choice is (0 = 1)); let us denote it by ⊥;
(the arithmetized counterpart of) the consistency of the system can then be
defined as ¬Prov (⌈⊥⌉). Let us abbreviate this formula by Cons(F). The
proof of the first part of the first incompleteness theorem (i.e., the case (i)
above) can then presumably be formalized inside F (in practice this would
certainly be intricate). This gives: F ⊢ Cons (F) → GF, where GF is the
Gödel sentence for F provided by the first theorem. If Cons (F) were provable
in F, so would be GF, by simple logic. This would contradict Gödel's first
theorem. Consequently, Cons (F) cannot be provable in F either.
o Gödel's second incompleteness theorem Assume F is a consistent formalized
system which contains elementary arithmetic. Then F ⊬ Cons (F).
o There is a question of philosophical importance that should be mentioned
here: As it stands, Gödel's second incompleteness theorem only establishes
the un-provability of one sentence, Cons (F). But does this sentence really
express that F is consistent? (Compare this with the remark above
that GF does not, strictly speaking, express its own un-provability.)
Furthermore, might there not be other sentences which are provable and also
express the consistency of F? Giving a rigorous proof of the second theorem
in a more general form that covers all such sentences, however, has turned
out to be very complicated. The basic reason for this is that, unlike in the first
theorem, not just any,merely extensionally adequate provability predicate
works for the formalization of the consistency claim. The manner of
presentation makes all the difference. For example, Rosser's provability
predicate mentioned above would not do; one can prove the “consistency”
of F in F, if consistency is expressed in terms of Rosser's provability predicate
One must thus add some further conditions for the provability predicate in
order for the proof of the second incompleteness theorem to go through.
Following Feferman (1960), it is customary to say that whereas the first
theorem and its relatives re-extensional results the second theorem
is intentional: it must be possible to think that Cons (F) in some
sense expresses the consistency of F—that it really means that F is consistent.
o Why is Gödel's Second Incompleteness Theorem important? Given that the
consistency of a system can be proven outside of the given formal system,
Gödel says, It must be noted that proposition XI... represents no contradiction
to the formalities viewpoint of Hilbert.... Why do others disagree? Who cares
whether a system cannot prove its own consistency? Why would we expect
such a thing? Is it possible that a theory without multiplication, but with some
other axiom or axioms (i.e., weaker in one sense but stronger in another)
could prove P consistent and itself consistent?

12. To deal with the SET THEORY: Set theory is a branch of mathematics that studies
collections of objects. Each collection is called a set and the objects in the collection are
called elements of the set. “win-win-win papakonstantinidis model” is –first of all a “set
theory” based on its Axioms Modern set theory began in the 1870s with the works of
Georg Cantor48 and Richard Dedekind49. Later work over the course of the 19th and 20th
centuries revealed many paradoxes in set theory (some of which will be discussed later).
This created a need for an axiomatic system that corrects these paradoxes. Ernst Zermelo
proposed the 1st axiomatic set theory in 1908. Later, Abraham Fraenkel and Thora lf
Skolem proposed some revisions including the addition of the Axiom Schema of
Replacement. The resulting axiomatic set theory became known as Zermelo-Fraenkel (ZF)
set theory50. To strengthen the arguments in favor of a triangular perception of things, we
will try to bring it in Set Theory and see how the qualities of the "win-win-win”51,52
'correspond 1-1 to basic Axioms

Bernays–Gödel set theory (NBG) In the foundation of maths von Neumann–Bernays–Gödel

canonical Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory (ZFC). A statement in the language of ZFC is

This book is a translation of that work by John Stillwell, who adds a detailed introduction giving historical background and who
outlines the mathematical obstructions that Dedekind was striving to overcome
Dedekind's theorem states that if there existed a one-to-one correspondence between two sets, then Dedekind said that the
two sets were "similar". He invoked similarity to give the first precise definition of an infinite set: a set is infinite when it is
"similar to a proper part of itself," in modern terminology, is equi-numerous to one of its proper subsets. Thus the
set N ofnatural numbers can be shown to be similar to the subset of N whose members are the squares of every member of N,

provable in NBG if and only if it is provable in ZFC. The ontology of NBG includes proper
classes, objects having members but that cannot be members of other entities. NBG's
principle of class comprehension is predicative; quantified variables in the defining
formula can range only over sets. Allowing impredicative comprehension turns NBG into
Morse-Kelley set theory (MK). NBG, unlike ZFC and MK, can be finitely axiomatized
Motivation via the cumulative hierarchy: One motivation for the ZFC axioms is
the cumulative hierarchy53 cumulative hierarchy of sets introduced byJohn von
Neumann (Shoenfield 1977, sec. 2). In this viewpoint, the universe of set theory is built up
in stages, with one stage for each ordinal numer At stage 0 there are no sets yet. At each
following stage, a set is added to the universe if all of its elements have been added at
previous stages. Thus the empty set is added at stage 1, and the set containing the empty
set is added at stage 2; see Hinman (2005, p. 467). The collection of all sets that are
obtained in this way, over all the stages, is known as V. The sets in V can be arranged into
a hierarchy by assigning to each set the first stage at which that set was added to V To
deal with and analyze the “Set Theory: The concept here is that the "set theory" deals with
sets which informally are collections of objects. Any type of object can be collected into a
set, . From this point of view, the win-win-win perception includes “sets of behaviors”
that obey in common rules (axioms)

“papakonstantinidis conjectures63,64,65,66”:
55 Bargaining or haggling is a type of negotiation in which the buyer and seller of a good or service debate the price and exact nature of a transaction. If the bargaining produces agreement on terms, the transaction takes place. 56 Nash, John (1950). "The Bargaining Problem" Econometrica 18 (2): 155–162.
57 DEFINITION OF 'AGENCY THEORY' A supposition that explains the relationship between principles and agents in business.
Agency theory is concerned with resolving problems that can exist in agency relationships; that is, between principals (such as
shareholders) and agents of the principals (for example, company executives). The two problems that agency theory addresses
are: 1.) the problems that arise when the desires or goals of the principal and agent are in conflict, and the principal is unable
to verify (because it difficult and/or expensive to do so) what the agent is actually doing; and 2.) the problems that arise when
the principal and agent have different attitudes towards risk. Because of different risk tolerances the principal and agent may
each be inclined to take different actions. 58 Ross, Stephen A. 1973. The economic theory of agency: The principal's problem. American Economic Review 62(2): 134-139. 59 Mitnick, Barry M. 1974a.

In the opposite, the Classical School of Thought, as “moral philosophy” believed that the free
market should achieve the social welfare automatically
Let’s take an idea,: The problem-which was an incentive for me to deal with - is much more
complicated: At the heart of the debate, is the term “social welfare”
In the real world, where people cannot negotiate costlessly, there may be collective action
problems of those who caused a nuisance, for instance by smoke emissions from a factory to
many neighboring farms, and so getting together to negotiate effectively can be difficult
against a single polluter because of coordination problems. If it is efficient for the farmers to
pay the factory to reduce its emissions, some of those farmers may hold off paying their fair
share, hoping to get a free ride. The factory may be in a better position to know what
measures to take to reduce harm, and can be the cheapest avoider, illustrating Coase's
argument.
WHAT the SOCIAL PROBLEMS are ?
A social problem is an issue within the society that makes i t di ff icult for
people to achieve their ful l potential . Poverty, unemployment, unequal
opportunity, racism, and malnutr it ion are examples of social problems. So
are substandard housing, employment disc r imination, and chi ld abuse and
neglect. Crime and substance abuse are also examples of social problems.
Not only do social problems affect many people directly, but they also affect
al l of us indirectly. The drug-abusing driver becomes the potential traff ic
accident that doesn 't choose its vict ims by race, color, or creed but does so
randomly. The chi ld of abusive parents al l too often becomes the vict im or
perpetrator of family v iolence as an adult.
Social problems tend to develop when we become neglectfu l and fai l to
see that serious problems are developing. Between 1988 and 1993, for
example, the United States saw a phe nomenal increase in youth violence. In
my book about chi ldren who commit violent acts (Gl icken, 2004b), I
documented that chi ldren younger than age 12 cause one third of al l f i res
result ing in death and that the average age of chi ldren who sexual ly abuse
other chi ldren is younger than age 10. According to Osofsky and Osofsky
(2001), "The homicide rate among males 15 -24 years old in the Uni ted States
is 10 t imes higher than in Canada, 15 t imes higher than in Austral ia, and 28
times higher than in France or Germany" (p. 287). These are troubl ing
examples of social problems that affect al l of us.
Could these problems have been prevented if our social insti tutions had
been working wel l? I think so, but this is where pol i t ical phi losophies are
important to understand. Some people bel ieve that government should be
very involved in providing services to people most at r isk. I don't know if the
labels liberal and conservative have much meaning anymore, but in t imes past,
we might have cal led these folks l iberals. Liberals bel ieve that where our
usual VgtJ'X institutions fai l , the government and the private sector should
help out. Conservatives bel ieve that intruding in people's l ives often leads to
a weakening of social institutions and the values that have served us wel l in

the past. Conservatives might say that what we should be doing to reduce
juveni le cr ime is to promote good family values and loo k to our tradit ional
institutions (e.g. , rel ig ious organizations and schools) to help prevent social
problems from developing. They also bel ieve that the more government has
become involved in people 's l ives in the past, the more serious our social
problems have become. And f inal ly, although this is true of l iberals as wel l ,
conservatives bel ieve in the concept of social capital : that " the good wil l ,

social problems if used wisely. The tension between pol it ical phi losophies is
often the underlying reason why we respond to or neglect social prob lems.
This tension can be seen in the grass-roots organizations that often develop
in the United States, such as the Tea Party movement and the radical groups
of the 1960s, that seek to correct pol i t ical problems through direct and
sometimes aggressive social action.
In addit ion to l iberal ism and conservatism, there are fo ur major pol i t ical
phi losophies that affect the way we approach social problems in America.
Libertarianism bel ieves in maximum personal l iberty and a small and wel l -
defined role for government, and opposes most social legislation aimed at
providing social just ice and equity. The fol lowing posi t ion on a minimum
wage might help you understand the posi t ion l ibertarians take on many
social programs:
Skilled, experienced workers make high wages because employers compete to hire them.
Poorly educated, inexperienced young people can't get work because minimum wage laws
make them too expensive to hire as trainees. Repeal of the minimum wage would allow many
young, minority and poor people to work. It must be asked, if the minimum wage is such a
good idea, why not raise it to $200 an hour? Even the most die-hard minimum wage advocate
can see there's something wrong with that proposal. The only "fair" or "correct" wage is what
an employer and employee voluntarily agree upon. We should repeal minimum wage now
o As we know from the f inancial meltdown of 2008, this posit ion on
noninterference by government can sound very distant from the real i ty
of l i fe when unemployment and l i tt le income force people who
otherwise might take a "hands-off" posit ion on the role of government
to ask for substantial help.
o Socialism is the exact opposite of l ibertarianism
because it values the posit ive r ights of cit izens
including the r ights to heal th care, food, shelter,
work, and so forth. Under social ism the economy is
run for the good of society as a whole where
resources are divided equal ly among the society and

there is neither great weal th nor great poverty.
Communitarianism values tradit ion; ethnic, regional, or
national identity; and the common culture that
comes from rel igion or shared moral values. I t
emphasizes the importance of belonging to a certain
community and sharing in i ts tradi t ions, values, and
culture. Communitarians bel ieve that l ibertarians
and l iberals overemphasize the importance of the
individual. Radicalism bel ieves that government and
the private for-profi t sectors often exclude many
less aff luent cit izens from justice and equity and
that the primary tool avai lable to have social and
economic r ights maintained is to form strong
al l iances based on se lf-interest and to use social
action including marches, str ikes, and civi l
disobedience to maintain social equity. Radical ism is
a much more assertive phi losophy and bel ieves that
unless people aggressively protect their self -
interest, they wi l l lose social , pol i t ical , and
economic strength. Mahoney (2003) bel ieves that the
fol lowing four condit ions must exist before an issue
or a situation is considered a social problem:
o The condition or situation must be publicly seen as a social
problem because of a public outcry. The condi t ions in New
Orleans a f t er the d i kes broke and th e c i ty was f looded
fo l lowing Hurr ican e Kat r ina began a publ ic outcry tha t
focused on the s low resp onse to the cr i s i s by government ,

a bel ie f tha t the fed era l g overnment had acted s lowly becau se
most o f th e people remain ing in New Orleans a f t er the f lood

o The condition must be at odds with the values of the larger
society. Although people have varying degrees o f concern
about the poor , there was un iversa l anger and gr ie f a t wha t

o Mahoney also notes that the more inf luent ial people
are who might be affected by a social problem, the
more l ikely there is to be recognit ion of the problem
and a proper response. The mass media also play a
role in the recognit ion of social problems because
they highl ight problems in such a graphic way that
many people are touched by i t . How many people
bel ieved John Edwards (before his unfortunate
behavior and fal l from grace) when he spoke of two

But people whose houses lost much, i f not al l , of
their value in the current real estate col lapse and
who have had their houses foreclosed on because
they can no longer make their mortgage payments
are far moreaware of the prob lems of poverty now
than they were when their houses were dramatical ly
increasing in value. The media have made a point of
tel l ing us how at r isk we are and how much we
potential ly have in common with those in poverty. In
the aftermath of Katr ina, pictures of people strug -
gl ing to survive during the New Orleans f lood had a
devastating impact on the perceptions pe ople had
about poverty. The media were responsible for
informing us that, as much as we might l ike to think
that poverty is nonexistent in America, i t does exist,
and its negative impact is substantial . But the media
are not always unbiased or objective in the way they
report the news. During the New Orleans f loods, for
example, some networks focused on cr ime and
violence whereas others focused on the pl ight of
poor people and the slow and befuddled response by
the government. There are many people who bel i eve
that the media ref lect a l iberal bias, and there are
also many who think that the media are control led
by their corporate owners who, some think, skew the
news to ref lect a more conservative orientation
o Conservatives believe the mass media, predominantly television
news programs, slant reports in favor of the liberal position on
issues. Members of the media argue [that] while personally
liberal, they are professionally neutral. They argue their opinions
do not matter because as professional journalists, they report
what they observe without letting their opinions affect their
judgment. But being a journalist is not like being a surveillance

playback. Journalists make subjective decisions every minute of
their professional lives.
o They choose what to cover and what not to cover, which sources
are credible and which are not, which quotes to use in a story
and which to toss out.
o Liberal bias in the news media is a reality. It is not the result of a
vast left-wing conspiracy; journalists do not meet secretly to
plot how to slant their news reports. But everyday pack
journalism often creates an unconscious "groupthink" mentality
that taints news coverage and allows only one side of a debate
to receive a fair hearing. When that happens, the truth suffers
o No one we know starts out life wanting to be a substance abuser or to be poor. Most
of us want to be lucky, cool, rich, and successful. Some of us are, fortunately, but
many of us aren't. Part of the reason for individual success and failure has to do with
what we were given biologically in terms of good health, intelligence, and the ability
to stick with projects and finish them. The other part of it has to do with the families
we grow up in, the social and economic conditions of our lives, and the parents,
teachers, and friends who influence us. Some parents do wonderful things for their
children and provide safe and happy homes. Other parents fight, use substances, and
sometimes abuse and neglect their children. It doesn't take a genius to know that the
child who grows up in a happy family has a better chance of being successful in life
than the child growing up in a troubled family. Child abuse is everything it's cracked
up to be and so are poverty, abandonment, unsafe neighborhoods, and poorly
functioning schools. Some of us start life out on the right track, but a lot of us don't.
Often those people whose families function poorly overcome early life problems by
the inner strength some people call resilience. But many children who grow up in
difficult, unloving, and abusive homes suffer harm to their bodies and to their spirit.
It's difficult for them to be as successful as many of us who grew up in healthier
homes. People sometimes pull themselves up by their bootstraps, but for those who
don't professional help can make an enormous difference generous nature of people
when they're asked to volunteer.
o
o I think that people become volunteers as they begin to realize that someone
else's tragedy can easily be their own, and while many of us feel a
responsibility to give back to our communities, so often we feel powerless to
make the changes that seem beyond our personal scope.
o Volunteers have the power to make those changes by using the skills we
already have. Attorneys donate their time with legal services for the poor.
Doctors provide services to the neighborhoods and communities with
marginal health care. Helping professionals offer their time and expertise to
the many social welfare organizations without professionals to supervise
services and as board members and grant writers.
o With all of the options for helping, some of us are gifted at what is sometimes
called "impact work." Impact work is the attorney who chooses to represent
600 new immigrants from Mexico rather than simply representing the one
immigrant who walked into her office. Impact work is going beyond providing
[Type text]
papakonstantinidis Page 27
shelter and counseling services to victims of domestic violence by looking at
the causes of violence and finding new ways of preventing it. Impact work is
building more low and no income housing rather than just providing
temporary shelters for those without homes.70
o
To understand the problem of "Social Welfare" should refer in principle in the concept
of "Cost of Social Welfare” In his famous work “The Problem of Social Cost”71, Prof
Coase RH (1960) διατυπώνει belief that legal rules are only justified by reference to a
cost–benefit analysis, and that nuisance that are often regarded as being the fault of
one party are more symmetric conflicts between the interests of the two parties. If
there are sufficiently low costs of doing a transaction, legal rules would be irrelevant
to the maximization of production. Because in the real world there are costs of
bargaining and information gathering, legal rules are justified to the extent of their
ability to allocate rights to the most efficient right-bearer. Coase argued that if we
lived in a world without transaction costs, people would bargain with one another to
produce the most efficient distribution of resources, regardless of the initial
allocation. This is superior to allocation through litigation Coase used the example of
a nuisance case named “Stugers vs Bridgman72 where a noisy sweet-maker and a quiet
doctor were neighbours and went to court to see who should have to move.[2] Coase
said that regardless of whether the judge ruled that the sweet-maker had to stop
using his machinery, or that the doctor had to put up with it, they could strike a
mutually beneficial bargain about who moves that reaches the same outcome of
productive activity.
However, many welfare-maximizing reallocations are often forgone because of the transaction
costs involved in bargaining For instance, the sweet-maker may have many neighbors who
claim "nuisance" — some legitimate and some not, that the firm would have to sort through,
and some of those neighbors who do claim nuisance may try to hold out for excessive
compensation. In these cases, the transaction costs eat away, and ultimately eclipse, the price
signals that would have led to the most efficient distribution of resources.
In cases like these with potentially high transaction costs, the law ought to produce an
outcome similar to what would result if the transaction costs were eliminated. Hence courts
should be guided by the most efficient solution.

A doctor moved next door to a confectioner, who had produced sweets for sale in his kitchen for many years. The doctor constructed a small shed for the purpose of private practice. He built the shed on the boundary. However, the loud noises from the confectioner's industrial mortars and pestles could be clearly heard, disrupting his use and enjoyment of his land. He sought an injunction. The facts were described by Thesiger LJ in the Court of Appeal as follows, The Court of Appeal held that the fact the doctor had "come to the nuisance", by which the Judge meant moved to an area where the nuisance had been operating for years without harming anyone, was no defence. The doctor's legal right to have the nuisance stopped was not lessened by the confectioner's longstanding practice.

The ultimate thesis is that law and regulation are not as important or effective at helping
people as lawyers and government planners believe. Coase and others like him wanted a
change of approach, to put the burden of proof for positive effects on a government that was
intervening in the market, by analyzing the costs of action
Three-dimensional freeform object matching to interpret events and relations corresponding to

It seems that It concerns a number of selected theories and theorems used by different directions
The Classical School of Thought (mainly expressed by Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Karl Marx,
John Stuart Mill) put the focus on the free market and full competition: Their attempt
concerned on "how competition could be fairer” They believed that the free market could
correct any deviation from perfect competition that would lead to economic and social
disparities Even Marx based his theory on the critique of the capitalist system Their thoughts
influenced all the subsequent economists
Especially the Patriarch of the Economic Thought ADAM SMITH in his monumental work,
Wealth of Nations73,74 -two and half centuries ago- had more influence on the development of
the economic discipline than any other work in the history of the subject. And perhaps none
has held such a way, not only over professional economics, but also over all those who
concerned about how best to organize society to promote the General Welfare than his
concept of the invisible hand: this, in spite of the fact that he explicitly used the term only
once In the Wealth of Nations,. Smith argued not only that individuals were led in the pursuit
of their self interest by an invisible hand to pursue the Nation's interest, but also that this
pursuit of self interest was a far more reliable way to ensure that the Public Interest would be
served than any alternative -surely better than relying on some government leader, as well-
intentioned as that leader might be.
The New-classical School of Thought rejected any idea of social welfare and more importantly
proved with the mathematical logic that social welfare is impossible (Arrow Kenneth: The
Impossibility Theorem, 1950)75 :

PRELIMINARIES
The field of welfare economics is associated with two fundamental theorems. The first states
that given certain assumptions, competitive markets (price equilibria with transfers,
e.g. Walrasian equilibria) produce Pareto efficient outcomes. The assumptions required are
generally characterized as "very weak" More specifically, the existence of competitive
equilibrium implies both price-taking behaviour and complete markets, but the only
additional assumption is the local non-satiation of agents' preferences – that consumers
would like, at the margin, to have slightly more of any given good. The first fundamental
theorem is said to capture the logic of Adam Smith's invisible hand, though in general there is
no reason to suppose that the "best" Pareto efficient point (of which there are a set) will be
selected by the market without intervention, only that some such point will be
The second fundamental theorem states that given further restrictions, any Pareto efficient
outcome can be supported as a competitive market equilibrium These restrictions are stronger
than for the first fundamental theorem, with convexity of preferences and production
functions a sufficient but not necessary condition. A direct consequence of the second
theorem is that a benevolent social planner could use a system of lump sum transfers to
ensure that the "best" Pareto efficient allocation was supported as a competitive equilibrium
for some set of prices. More generally, it suggests that redistribution should, if possible, be
achieved without affecting prices (which should continue to reflect relative scarcity), thus
ensuring that the final (post-trade) result is efficient. Put into practice, such a policy might
resemble pre-distribution Because of welfare economics' close ties to social choice theory
Arrows impossibility Theorem is sometimes listed as a third fundamental theorem76
a. Homo Economicus
Following a summary of the empirical findings:
1. On the biological level people have their preferences, but on the cultural level
people rather make than have their preferences.
2. Behavior systematically deviates from happiness maximization, both intentionally
and erroneously. People sometimes account for moral considerations at the cost

of subjective well-being; and sometimes they take decisions mindlessly.
Consequently the assumption that everyone is the best judge of what will make
him/her happy is by no means unchallenged. This conclusion should not come as
a surprise.
3. After all, economic decision theory is built upon psychological ad hoc assumptions
which qualified primarily on formal, rather than substantive grounds. They were
convenient because they warrant internal consistency and analytical versatility,
making them amenable to quantitative analyses. Similarly in the context of
consumption, welfare economics relies on an uncritical generalization of the
casual observation of individual consumption decisions and their motivations.
4. The Homo Economicus is an inadequate description of human behavior. Welfare
Economics will have to be reassessed in the light of empirical findings. All the
important theories in this field (in particular the general equilibrium theory)
depend on the relation between behavior and welfare through the intermediary of
preferences

Definitions: Pareto Efficiency (or unanimity) or Pareto optimality is a state of allocation of
resources in which it is impossible to make any one individual better off without making

at least one individual worse off. The concept has applications in academic fields such as
economics, engineering and the life sciences
Pareto Efficiency: A particular distribution of goods or outcome of any social process is
regarded as Pareto efficient if there is no way to improve one or more people's situations
without harming another. Put another way, an outcome is not Pareto efficient if there is a
way to improve at least one person's situation without harming anyone else.Pareto
optimality: whenever all individuals of a society strictly prefer an outcome x over an
outcome y, the choice function doesn't pick y.
The very clear definition of “Pareto Efficiency” states that: Given a set of alternative
allocations of goods or outcomes for a set of individuals, a change from one allocation to
another that can make at least one individual better off without making any other individual
worse off is called a "Pareto improvement". An allocation is defined as "Pareto efficient" or
"Pareto optimal" when no further Pareto improvements can be model (Pareto Efficiency- see
graph) It includes the random simple (not only the initial)
An alternative definition of Pareto Efficiency states: “Given an initial allocation of goods
among a set of individuals, a change to a different allocation that makes at least one
individual better off without making any other individual worse off is called a Pareto
improvement. An allocation is defined as "Pareto efficient" or "Pareto optimal" when no
further Pareto improvements can be made”
Formally, a social choice function F is Pareto optimal if whenever p∊Rel(X)N is a configuration of
preference relations and there are two outcomes x and y such that x⪲iy for every individual i∊N,
then y∉ F(p).
1. Minimal liberalism: More than one individual in the society is decisive on a pair of social
outcomes. (An individual is decisive on a pair of social outcomes x and y if, whenever he
prefers x over y, the social choice function prefers xover y regardless of what other
members of the society prefer. (And similarly whenever he prefers y over x, the social
choice function prefers y over x.)
Formally, a social choice function F respects minimal liberalism if there is more than one
individual i∊N for which there exists a pair of outcomes xi, yi on which he is decisive—that is, for
every configuration of preference relations p∊Rel(X)N, yi∊ F(p) only when xi≼iyi (and
similarly, xi∊ F(p) only when yi≼ixi).
As an example of decisiveness: in the Lewd/Prude case, Lewd was decisive on the pair of outcomes
⟨"Lewd reads", "No one reads"⟩ and Prude was decisive on the pair of outcomes ⟨"Prude reads", "No
one reads"⟩.
In other words, the liberal paradox states that for every social choice function F, there is a
configuration of preference relations p∊Rel(X)N for which F violates either Pareto optimality or

Now construct the Pareto frontier as a subset of Y, the feasible criterion points. It can be
assumed that the preferable values of each criterion parameter are the lesser ones, thus
minimizing each dimension of the criterion vector. Then compare criterion vectors as follows:
One criterion vector x strictly dominates (or "is preferred to") a vector y if each parameter of x
is no greater than the corresponding parameter of y and at least one parameter is strictly less:
that is, for each i and for some i. This is written as to mean

Minimal liberalism (or both). In the examples of Sen and Gibbard noted above, the social choice
function satisfies Minimal liberalism at the expense of Pareto optimality
In the social choice rule approach …, local dictatorship becomes a desideratum, provided that the
‘localities’ are appropriate. Our feelings of revulsion should be reserved for non-local dictatorships,

.
If every individual prefers a certain option to another, then so must the resulting societal
preference order This again, may be a demand that the social welfare function will be
minimally79sensitive to the preference profile
The later version of this theorem is stronger—has weaker conditions—since monotonicity, non-
imposition, and independence of irrelevant alternatives together imply Pareto efficiency, whereas
Pareto efficiency and independence of irrelevant alternatives together do not imply monotonicity.

that x strictly dominates y. Then the Pareto frontier is the set of points from Y that are not
strictly dominated by another point in Y.
Formally, this defines a partial order on Y, namely the (opposite of the) product order on
(more precisely, the induced order on Y as a subset of ), and the Pareto frontier is the set
of maximal elements with respect to this order.
Algorithms for computing the Pareto frontier of a finite set of alternatives have been studied
in computer science. There, this task is known as the maximum vector problem or as skyline
query.
Relationship to marginal rate of substitution
An important fact about the Pareto frontier in economics is that at a Pareto efficient allocation,
the marginal rate of substitution is the same for all consumers. A formal statement can be
derived by considering a system with m consumers and n goods, and a utility function of each
consumer as zi = fi(xi) where is the vector of goods, both for all i.
The supply constraint is written for . To optimize this
problem, the Lagrangian is used:
where λ
and Γ are multipliers.
Taking the partial derivative of the Lagrangian with respect to one good, i, and then taking the
partial derivative of the Lagrangian with respect to another good, j, gives the following system
of equations:
for j=1,...,n. for i = 2,...,m and
j=1,...,m, where f(x) is the marginal utility on f' of x (the partial derivative of f with respect to
x).
for i,k=1,...,m and j,s=1,...,n...,.

Pareto Optimal Condition80
Pareto efficiency, or Pareto optimality, is an important concept in economics with broad
applications in game theory, engineering and the social sciences. The term is named after
Vilfredo Pareto, an Italian economist who used the concept in his studies of economic
efficiency and income distribution. Informally, Pareto efficient situations are those in which
any change to make any person better off would make someone else worse off.
Given a set of alternative allocations of, say, goods or income for a set of individuals, a change
from one allocation to another that can make at least one individual better off without making
any other individual worse off is called a Pareto improvement. An allocation is defined as
Pareto efficient or Pareto optimal when no further Pareto improvements can be made. This is
often called a strong Pareto optimum (SPO).
A weak Pareto optimum (WPO) satisfies a less stringent requirement, in which a new allocation
is only considered to be a Pareto improvement if it is strictly preferred by all individuals (i.e.,
all must gain with the new allocation). In other words, when an allocation is WPO there are no
possible alternative allocations where every individual would gain. An SPO is a WPO: a WPO is
an allocation where every change causes some individual to NOT IMPROVE, whereas with an
SPO every change causes some individual to DO WORSE (and hence not improve).
Formally, a (strong/weak) Pareto optimum is a maximal element for the partial order relation
of Pareto improvement/strict Pareto improvement: it is an allocation such that no other
allocation is "better" in the sense of the order relation.
A common criticism of a state of Pareto efficiency is that it does not necessarily result in a
socially desirable distribution of resources, as it makes no statement about equality or the
overall well-being of a society; notably, allocating all resources to one person and none to
anyone else is Pareto efficient if preference relations are monotone increasing

An economic system that is Pareto inefficient implies that a certain change in allocation of
goods (for example) may result in some individuals being made "better off" with no individual
being made worse off, and therefore can be made more Pareto efficient through a Pareto
improvement. Here 'better off' is often interpreted as "put in a preferred position." It is
commonly accepted that outcomes that are not Pareto efficient are to be avoided, and
therefore Pareto efficiency is an important criterion for evaluating economic systems and
public policies.
If economic allocation in any system (in the real world or in a model) is not Pareto efficient,
there is theoretical potential for a Pareto improvement — an increase in Pareto efficiency:
through reallocation, improvements to at least one participant's well-being can be made
without reducing any other participant's well-being.
In the real world ensuring that nobody is disadvantaged by a change aimed at improving
economic efficiency may require compensation of one or more parties. For instance, if a
change in economic policy dictates that a legally protected monopoly ceases to exist and that
market subsequently becomes competitive and more efficient, the monopolist will be made
worse off. However, the loss to the monopolist will be more than offset by the gain in
efficiency. This means the monopolist can be compensated for its loss while still leaving an
efficiency gain to be realized by others in the economy. Thus, the requirement of nobody
being made worse off for a gain to others is met.
In real-world practice, the compensation principle often appealed to is hypothetical. That is,
for the alleged Pareto improvement (say from public regulation of the monopolist or removal
of tariffs) some losers are not (fully) compensated. The change thus results in distribution
effects in addition to any Pareto improvement that might have taken place. The theory of
hypothetical compensation is part of Kaldor-Hicks efficiency, also called Potential Pareto
Criterion. (Ng, 1983)
Under certain idealized conditions, it can be shown that a system of free markets will lead to a
Pareto efficient outcome. This is called the first welfare theorem. It was first demonstrated
mathematically by economists Kenneth Arrow and Gerard Debreu. However, the result does
not rigorously establish welfare results for real economies because of the restrictive
assumptions necessary for the proof (markets exist for all possible goods, all markets are in
full equilibrium, markets are perfectly competitive, transaction costs are negligible, there must
be no externalities, and market participants must have perfect information). Moreover, it has
since been demonstrated mathematically that, in the absence of perfect competition or
complete markets, outcomes will generically be Pareto inefficient.

c. Utility Function: The concept of the utility function is sufficiently flexible in order to
address all relevant problems of individual rationality. It allows taking account of
(a) social inter- dependencies (b) external effects and (c) public goods
The problem with utility functions is not a theoretical but a practical one. There are no
comparable (cardinal) estimations for the welfare of society; there is not even a
complete utility function for a single individual. Approximations used so far are (a)
income (b) CDP, calculated by the income approach for the welfare of society.
But welfare cannot be reduced to income.
Marginal utility81: Instead of the price of a good or service reflecting the labor
that has produced it, it (the price) reflects the marginal usefulness (utility) of
the last purchase. This meant that in equilibrium, people's preferences
determined prices, including, indirectly the price of labor (…).
Consumers act rationally by seeking to maximize satisfaction of all their
preferences. People allocate their spending so that the last unit of a commodity
bought creates no more satisfaction than a last unit bought of something else
d. General Impossibility Theorem: Social choice failure82
The impossibility of converting individuals’ ranked preferences in ranking order
voting
According to bibliography, social welfare seems to be an utopia, since Kenneth Arrow (1951)83
has formulated his “impossibility theorem” or the “Arrow’s paradox”, concerned the “social
choice theory” According to Arrow’s impossibility theorem, when voters have three or more
distinct alternatives (options), no rank order voting system can convert the ranked
preferences of individuals into a community-wide (complete and transitive) ranking while also

(axiomatic theorem)
An interesting experiment is taking place in Bhutan, the only country that replaced the GDP by
the Gross National Happiness. Recently, economics turned back to the classical utilitarian goal
to make people happier. Happiness Economics builds on empirical data about individual
happiness instead of inappropriate mathematical models and bureaucratic indicators like
the GDP and GNI.For a philosophical criticism of happiness economics see Moral Relativism
and the Search for Happiness
Especially, Kenneth Arrow formulated (1951) a theorem based on follow axioms:
The theorem states that no rank-order voting system can be designed that always satisfies
these three "fairness" criteria85
If every voter prefers alternative X over alternative Y, then the group prefers X over Y.
If every voter's preference between X and Y remains unchanged, then the group's
preference between X and Y will also remain unchanged (even if voters' preferences
between other pairs like X and Z, Y and Z, or Z and W change).

There is no "dictator": no single voter possesses the power to always determine the
group's preference.
The theorem considers the following properties, assumed to be reasonable requirements of a
fair voting method:
Non-dictatorship
The social welfare function should account for the wishes of multiple voters. It cannot simply
mimic the preferences of a single voter:
Unrestricted domain (or universality)
For any set of individual voter preferences, the social welfare function should yield a unique
and complete ranking of societal choices. Thus:
It must do so in a manner that results in a complete ranking of
preferences for society.
It must deterministically provide the same ranking each time voters'
preferences are presented the same way.
Independence of irrelevant alternatives (IIA)
The social preference between x and y should depend only on the individual preferences
between x and y (Pairwise Independence). More generally, changes in individuals' rankings
of irrelevant alternatives (ones outside a certain subset) should have no impact on the societal
ranking of the subset. For example, the introduction of a third candidate to a two-candidate
election should not affect the outcome of the election unless the third candidate wins.
Positive association of social and individual values (or monotonicity)
[Type text]
papakonstantinidis Page 39
If any individual modifies his or her preference order by promoting a certain option, then the
societal preference order should respond only by promoting that same option or not
changing, never by placing it lower than before. An individual should not be able to hurt an
option by ranking it higher.
Non-imposition (or citizen sovereignty)
Every possible societal preference order should be achievable by some set of
individual preference orders. This means that the social welfare function
is surjective86: It has an unrestricted target space.
Arrow's theorem says that if the decision-making body has at least two members and
at least three options to decide among, then it is impossible to design a social welfare
function that satisfies all these conditions at once.
A later (1963) version of Arrow's theorem can be obtained by replacing the monotonicity and
non-imposition criteria:

Economic theory assumes that an individual acts rational and attempts to maximize utility
under given side constraints.
In economics, game theory and decision theory the expected utility theorem or expected
utility hypothesis predicts that the "betting preferences" of people with regard to uncertain
outcomes (gambles) can be described by a mathematical relation which takes into account the
size of a payout (whether in money or other goods), the probability of occurrence, risk
aversion and the different utility of the same payout to people with different assets or
personal preferences. It is a more sophisticated theory than simply predicting that choices will
be made based on expected value (which takes into account only the size of the payout and
the probability of occurrence)

Statement of the theorem
The need to aggregate preferences occurs in many disciplines: in welfare economics, where
one attempts to find an economic outcome which would be acceptable and stable; in decision
theory, where a person has to make a rational choice based on several criteria; and most
naturally in voting systems, which are mechanisms for extracting a decision from a multitude
of voters' preferences.
The framework for Arrow's theorem assumes that we need to extract a preference order on a
given set of options (outcomes). Each individual in the society (or equivalently, each decision
criterion) gives a particular order of preferences on the set of outcomes. We are searching for
a ranked voting system, called a social welfare function (preference aggregation rule), which
transforms the set of preferences (profile of preferences) into a single global societal
preference order. The theorem considers the following properties, assumed to be reasonable
requirements of a fair voting method:
Non-dictatorship
The social welfare function should account for the wishes of multiple voters. It cannot simply
mimic the preferences of a single voter.
Unrestricted domain
(or universality) For any set of individual voter preferences, the social welfare function should
yield a unique and complete ranking of societal choices. Thus:
It must do so in a manner that results in a complete ranking of preferences for society.
It must deterministically provide the same ranking each time voters' preferences are presented
the same way.
Independence of irrelevant alternatives (IIA)
The social preference between x and y should depend only on the individual preferences
between x and y (Pair-wise Independence). More generally, changes in individuals' rankings
of irrelevant alternatives (ones outside a certain subset) should have no impact on the societal
ranking of the subset. For example, the introduction of a third candidate to a two-candidate
election should not affect the outcome of the election unless the third candidate wins. (See
Remarks below.)
Positive association of social and individual values
(or monotonicity) If any individual modifies his or her preference order by promoting a certain
option, then the societal preference order should respond only by promoting that same option
or not changing, never by placing it lower than before. An individual should not be able to
hurt an option by ranking it higher.

Arrow's death-of-a-candidate example (1963, page 26) suggests that the agenda (the set of
feasible alternatives) shrinks from, say, X = {a, b, c} to S = {a, b} because of the death of
candidate c. This example is misleading since it can give the reader an impression that IIA is a
condition involving two agenda and one profile. The fact is that IIA involves just one agendum
({x, y} in case of Pairwise Independence) but two profiles. If the condition is applied to this
confusing example, it requires this: Suppose an aggregation rule satisfying IIA chooses b from
the agenda {a, b} when the profile is given by (cab, cba), that is, individual 1 prefers c to a to
b, 2 prefers c to b to a. Then, it must still choose b from {a, b} if the profile were, say, (abc,
bac) or (acb, bca) or (acb, cba) or (abc, cba).
Although Arrow's theorem is a mathematical result, it is often expressed in a non-
mathematical way with a statement such as "No voting method is fair," "Every ranked voting
set of individual preference orders. This means that the social welfare function is surjective: It
has an unrestricted target space.
Arrow's theorem says that if the decision-making body has at least two members and at least
three options to decide among, then it is impossible to design a social welfare function that
satisfies all these conditions at once.
A later (1963) version of Arrow's theorem can be obtained by replacing the monotonicity and
non-imposition criteria with:
Pareto efficiency
(or unanimity) If every individual prefers a certain option to another, then so must the
resulting societal preference order. This, again, is a demand that the social welfare function
will be minimally sensitive to the preference profile.
The later version of this theorem is stronger—has weaker conditions—since monotonicity,
non-imposition, and independence of irrelevant alternatives together imply Pareto efficiency,
whereas Pareto efficiency and independence of irrelevant alternatives together do not imply
monotonicity. (Incidentally, Pareto efficiency on its own implies non-imposition.)
Remarks on IIA
The IIA condition can be justified for three reasons (Mas-Colell, Whinston, and Green, 1995,
page 794): (i) normative (irrelevant alternatives should not matter), (ii) practical (use of
minimal information), and (iii) strategic (providing the right incentives for the truthful
revelation of individual preferences). Though the strategic property is conceptually different
from IIA, it is closely related.

method is flawed," or "The only voting method that isn't flawed is a dictatorship". These
statements are simplifications of Arrow's result which are not universally considered to be
true. What Arrow's theorem does state is that a deterministic preferential voting mechanism -
that is, one where a preference order is the only information in a vote, and any possible set of
votes gives a unique result - cannot comply with all of the conditions given above
simultaneously.
Various theorists have suggested weakening the IIA criterion as a way out of the paradox.
Proponents of ranked voting methods contend that the IIA is an unreasonably strong criterion.
It is the one breached in most useful voting systems. Advocates of this position point out that
failure of the standard IIA criterion is trivially implied by the possibility of cyclic preferences. If
voters cast ballots as follows:
1 vote for A > B > C
1 vote for B > C > A
1 vote for C > A > B
then the pairwise majority preference of the group is that A wins over B, B wins over C, and C
wins over A: these yield rock-paper-scissors preferences for any pairwise comparison
With these assumptions, it is possible to construct a social welfare function simply by
summing all the individual utility functions. Note that such a measure would still be concerned
with the distribution of income (distributive efficiency) but not the distribution of final utilities.
In normative terms, such authors were writing in the Benthamite tradition.

Sen's original example
Sen's original example used a simple society with only two people and only one social issue to
consider. The two members of society are named "Lewd" and "Prude". In this society there is a
copy of a Lady Chatterley's Lover and it must be given either to Lewd to read, to Prude to read,
or disposed of unread. Suppose that Lewd enjoys this sort of reading and would prefer to read
it himself rather than have it disposed of. However, he would get even more enjoyment out of
Prude being forced to read it.
Prude thinks that the book is indecent and that it should be disposed of unread. However, if
someone must read it Prude would prefer that he, himself read it rather than Lewd since Prude
thinks it would be even worse for someone to read and enjoy the book rather than read it in
disgust.
Given these preferences of the two individuals in the society, a social planner must decide
what to do. Should the planner force Lewd to read the book, force Prude to read the book, or
let it go unread? More particularly, the social planner must rank all three possible outcomes in
terms of their social desirability. The social planner decides that she should be committed to
individual rights, each individual should get to choose whether he, himself will read the book.
Lewd should get to decide whether the outcome "Lewd reads" will be ranked higher than "No
one reads," and similarly Prude should get to decide whether the outcome "Prude reads" will
be ranked higher than "No one reads."
Following this strategy, the social planner declares that the outcome "Lewd reads" will be
ranked higher than "No one reads" (because of Lewd's preferences) and that "No one reads"
will be ranked higher than "Prude reads" (because of Prude's preferences). Consistency then
requires that "Lewd reads" be ranked higher than "Prude reads," and so the social planner
gives the book to Lewd to read.
Notice that this outcome is regarded as worse than "Prude reads" by both Prude and Lewd, and
the chosen outcome is therefore Pareto inferior to another available outcome—the one where
Prude is forced to read the book.
The liberal paradox, also Sen paradox or Sen's paradox, is a logical paradox discovered by
Amartya Sen which purports to show that no social system can simultaneously
1. be committed to a minimal sense of freedom,
2. always result in a type of economic efficiency known as Pareto Efficiency and
[Type text]
papakonstantinidis Page 45
3. be capable of functioning in any society whatsoever89
This paradox90
is contentious because it appears to contradict the classical liberal claim that
markets are both efficient and respect individual freedoms. If, as Sen claims, classical
liberalism means Pareto efficiency by the word efficiency, there is a paradox, then this liberal
claim cannot be true.
The paradox is similar in many respects to Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem and uses similar
mathematical techniques.
The theorem
Suppose there is a society N consisting of two or more individuals and a set X of two or more
social outcomes. (For example, in the Lewd and Prude case, N consisted of Lewd and Prude,
and X consisted of the four color options ⟨Blue, Yellow⟩, ⟨Blue, Green⟩, ⟨Red, Yellow⟩, and ⟨Red,
Green⟩.)
Suppose each individual in the society has a total and transitive preference relation on the set
of social outcomes X. For notation, the preference relation of an individual i∊N is denoted by
≼i. Each preference relation belongs to the set Rel(X) of all total and transitive relations on X.
A social choice function is a map which can take any configuration of preference relations
of N as input and produce a subset of ("chosen") social outcomes as output. Formally, a social
choice function is a map
from the set of functions between N→Rel(X), to the power set of X. (Intuitively, the social
choice function represents a societal principle for choosing one or more social outcomes
based on individuals' preferences. By representing the social choice process as
a function on Rel(X)N, we are tacitly assuming that the social choice function is defined for any
possible configuration of preference relations; this is sometimes called the Universal Domain
assumption.)

Gibbard's example91
Another example was provided by philosopher Allan Gibbard. Suppose there are two
individuals Alice and Bob who live next door to one another. Alice loves the color blue and
hates red. Bob loves the color green and hates yellow. If each were free to choose the color of
their house independently of the other, they would choose their favorite colors. But Alice hates
Bob with a passion, and she would gladly endure a red house if it meant that Bob would have
to endure his house being yellow. Bob similarly hates Alice, and would gladly endure a yellow
house if that meant that Alice would live in a red house.
If each individual is free to choose their own house color, independently of the other, Alice
would choose a blue house and Bob would choose a green one. But, this outcome is not Pareto
efficient, because both Alice and Bob would prefer the outcome where Alice's house is red and
Bob's is yellow. As a result, giving each individual the freedom to choose their own house
color has led to an inefficient outcome—one that is inferior to another outcome where neither
is free to choose their own color92
.
Mathematically, we can represent Alice's preferences with this symbol: and Bob's
preferences with this one: . We can represent each outcome as a pair: (Color of Alice's
house, Color of Bob's house). As stated Alice's preferences are:
(Blue, Yellow) (Red, Yellow) (Blue, Green) (Red, Green)
And Bob's are:
(Red, Green) (Red, Yellow) (Blue, Green) (Blue, Yellow)
If we allow free and independent choices of both parties we end up with the outcome
(Blue, Green) which is dispreferred by both parties to the outcome (Red, Yellow) and is
therefore not Pareto efficient.
Measurability and interpersonal comparability of welfare93
By assigning real numbers to alternatives, welfare profiles contain a lot of information over
and above the profiles of orderings on X they induce. In particular, many different
assignments of numbers to alternatives can give rise to the same orderings. But we may not
consider all this information meaningful. Some of it could be an artifact of the numerical
representation. For example, the difference between the profile <W1, W2, …, Wn> and its

scaled-up version <10*W1, 10*W2, …, 10*Wn>, where everything is the same in proportional
terms, could be like the difference between length measurements in centimeters and in
inches. The two profiles might be seen as alternative representations of the exact same
information, just on different scales.
To express different assumptions about which information is truly encoded by a profile of
welfare functions and which information is not (and should thus be seen, at best, as an artifact
of the numerical representation), it is helpful to introduce the notion of meaningful
statements. Some examples of statements about individual welfare that are candidates for
meaningful statements are the following:
A level comparison: Individual i's welfare under alternative x is at least as great as
individual j's welfare under alternative y, formally Wi(x) ≥ Wj(y). (The comparison is
intrapersonal if i = j, and interpersonal if i ≠ j.)
A unit comparison: The ratio of [individual i's welfare gain or loss if we switch from
alternative y1 to alternative x1] to [individual j's welfare gain or loss if we switch from
alternative y2 to alternative x2] is λ, where λ is some real number, formally (x1 − y1) / (x2− y2)
= λ. (Again, the comparison is intrapersonal if i = j, and interpersonal if i ≠ j.)
A zero comparison: Individual i's welfare under alternative x is greater than / equal to / less
than zero, formally sign(Wi(x)) = λ, where λ ∈ {−1, 0, 1} and sign is a real-valued function that
maps strictly negative numbers to −1, zero to 0, and strictly positive numbers to +1.
Arrow's view, as noted, is that only intrapersonal level comparisons are meaningful, while all
other kinds of comparisons are not. Sen (1970b)94
formalized various assumptions about
measurability and interpersonal comparability of welfare by (i) defining an equivalence relation
on welfare profiles that specifies when two profiles count as ‘containing the same
information’, and (ii) requiring any profiles in the same equivalence class to generate the same
social preference ordering. Of the three kinds of comparison statements introduced above, the
meaningful ones are those that are invariant in each equivalence class. Arrow's ordinalist
assumption can be expressed as follows:
Ordinal measurability with no interpersonal comparability (ONC):
Two profiles <W1,W2, …, Wn> and <W*1, W*2, …, W*n> contain the same information
whenever, for eachi ∈ N, W*i = φi(Wi), where φi is some positive monotonic transformation,
possibly different for different individuals.
Thus the individual welfare functions in any profile can be arbitrarily monotonically
transformed (‘stretched or squeezed’) without informational loss, thereby ruling out any
interpersonal comparisons or even intrapersonal unit comparisons.
If welfare is cardinally measurable but still interpersonally non-comparable, we have:

Cardinal measurability with no interpersonal comparability (CNC): Two profiles <W1,W2,
…, Wn> and <W*1, W*2, …, W*n> contain the same information whenever, for each
i ∈ N, W*i = aiWi + bi, where the ais and bis are real numbers (with ai > 0), possibly different
for different individuals.
Here, each individual's welfare function is unique up to positive affine transformations
(‘scaling and shifting’), but there is still no common scale across individuals. This renders
intrapersonal level and unit comparisons meaningful, but rules out interpersonal comparisons
and zero comparisons.
Interpersonal level comparability is achieved under the following enriched variant of ordinal
measurability:
Ordinal measurability with interpersonal level comparability (OLC): Two profiles <W1,W2,
…, Wn> and <W*1, W*2, …, W*n> contain the same information whenever, for each
i ∈ N, W*i = φ(Wi), where φ is the same positive monotonic transformation for all individuals.
Here, a profile of individual welfare functions can be arbitrarily monotonically transformed
(‘stretched or squeezed’) without informational loss, but the same transformation must be
used for all individuals, thereby rendering interpersonal level comparisons meaningful.
Interpersonal unit comparability is achieved under the following enriched variant of cardinal
measurability:
Cardinal measurability with interpersonal unit comparability (CUC): Two profiles <W1,W2,
…, Wn> and <W*1, W*2, …, W*n> contain the same information whenever, for each
i ∈ N, W*i = aWi + bi, where a is the same real number for all individuals (a > 0) and thebis are
real numbers.
Here, the welfare functions in each profile can be re-scaled and shifted without informational
loss, but the same scalar multiple (though not necessarily the same shifting constant) must be
used for all individuals, thereby rendering interpersonal unit comparisons meaningful.
Zero comparisons, finally, become meaningful under the following enriched variant of ordinal
measurability
Ordinal measurability with zero comparability (ONC+0): Two profiles <W1, W2, …,Wn> and
<W*1, W*2, …, W*n> contain the same information whenever, for each i ∈ N,W*i = φi(Wi),
where φi is some positive monotonic and zero-preserving transformation, possibly different
for different individuals. (Here zero-preserving means that φi(0) = 0.)
This allows arbitrary stretching and squeezing of individual welfare functions without
informational loss, provided the welfare level of zero remains fixed, thereby ensuring zero
comparability.
Several other measurability and interpersonal comparability assumptions have been discussed
in the literature. The following ensures the meaningfulness of interpersonal comparisons of
both levels and units:
CARDINAL UTILITY
[Type text]
papakonstantinidis Page 49
Cardinal measurability with full interpersonal comparability (CFC): Two profiles <W1,W2,
…, Wn> and <W*1, W*2, …, W*n> contain the same information whenever, for
eachi ∈ N, W*i = aWi + b, where a, b are the same real numbers for all individuals (a > 0).
Lastly, intra- and interpersonal comparisons of all three kinds (level, unit, and zero) are
meaningful if we accept the following:
Ratio-scale measurability with full interpersonal comparability (RFC): Two profiles <W1, W2,
…, Wn> and <W*1, W*2, …, W*n> contain the same information whenever, for
each i ∈ N, W*i = aWi, where a is the same real number for all individuals (a > 0).
Which assumption is warranted depends on how welfare is interpreted. If welfare is hedonic
utility, which can be experienced only from a first-person perspective, interpersonal
comparisons are harder to justify than if welfare is the objective satisfaction of subjective
preferences or desires (the desire-satisfaction view) or an objective good or
state (anobjective-list view) (e.g., Hausman 199595
;). The desire-satisfaction view may render
interpersonal comparisons empirically meaningful (by relating the interpersonally significant
maximal and minimal levels of welfare for each individual to the attainment of his or her most
and least preferred alternatives), but at the expense of running into problems of expensive
tastes or adaptive preferences (Hausman 1995)96
. Resource-based, functioning-based, or
primary-goods-based currencies of welfare, by contrast, may allow empirically meaningful
and less morally problematic interpersonal comparisons.
The possibility of welfare aggregation
Once we introduce interpersonal comparisons of welfare levels or units, or zero comparisons,
there exist possible SWFLs satisfying the analogues of Arrow's conditions as well as stronger
desiderata. In a welfare-aggregation context, Arrow's impossibility can therefore be traced to
a lack of interpersonal comparability.
As noted, a SWFL respects a given assumption about measurability and interpersonal
comparability if, for any two profiles <W1, W2, …, Wn> and <W*1, W*2, …, W*n> that are
deemed to contain the same information, we have F(W1, W2, …, Wn) = F(W*1, W*2, …,W*n).
Arrow's conditions and theorem can be restated as follows:
Universal domain: The domain of F is the set of all logically possible profiles of individual
welfare functions.
Ordering: For any profile <W1, W2, …, Wn> in the domain of F, the social preference
relation R is complete and transitive.
Weak Pareto principle: For any profile <W1, W2, …, Wn> in the domain of F, if for alli∈N Wi(x)
> Wi(y), then xPy.
Independence of irrelevant alternatives: For any two profiles <W1, W2, …, Wn> and <W*1, W*2,
…, W*n> in the domain of F and any x, y ∈ X, if for all i ∈ N Wi(x) =W*i(x) and Wi(y) = W*i(y),
then xRy if and only if xR*y.

Non-dictatorship: There does not exist an individual i ∈ N such that, for all <W1, W2, …, Wn>
in the domain of F and all x, y ∈ X, Wi(x) > Wi(y) implies xPy.
Theorem: Under ONC (or CNC, as Sen 1970b has shown), if |X| > 2, there exists no SWFL
satisfying universal domain, ordering, the weak Pareto principle, independence of irrelevant
alternatives, and non-dictatorship.
Crucially, however, each of OLC, CUC, and ONC+0 is sufficient for the existence of SWFLs
satisfying all other conditions:
Theorem (combining several results from the literature, as illustrated below): Under each of
OLC, CUC, and ONC+0, there exist SWFLs satisfying universal domain, ordering, the weak
Pareto principle, independence of irrelevant alternatives, and non-dictatorship (as well as
stronger conditions).
Some examples of such SWFLs come from political philosophy and welfare economics. A
possible SWFL under OLC is a version of Rawls's difference principle (1971).
Maximin: For any profile <W1, W2, …, Wn> and any x, y ∈ X, xRy if and only
ifmini∈N(Wi(x)) ≥ mini∈N(Wi(y)).
While maximin rank-orders social alternatives in terms of the welfare level of the worst-off
individual alone, its lexicographic extension (leximin), which was endorsed by Rawls himself,
uses the welfare level of the second-worst-off individual as a tie-breaker when there is tie at
the level of the worst off, the welfare level of the third-worst-off individual as a tie-breaker
when there is a tie at the second stage, and so on. (Note, however, that Rawls focused on
primary goods, rather than welfare, as the relevant ‘currency’.) This satisfies the strong(not
just weak) Pareto principle, requiring that if for all i∈N Wi(x) ≥ Wi(y), then xRy, and if in
addition for some i ∈ N Wi(x) > Wi(y), then xPy.
An example of a possible SWFL under CUC is classical utilitarianism.
Utilitarianism: For any profile <W1, W2, …, Wn> and any x, y ∈ X, xRy if and only ifW1(x)
+ W2(x) + … + Wn(x) ≥ W1(y) + W2(y) + … + Wn(y).
Finally, an example of a possible SWFL under ONC+0 is a variant of a frequently used, though
rather simplistic poverty measure.
A head-count rule: For any profile <W1, W2, …, Wn> and any x, y ∈ X, xRy if and only
if |{i ∈ N : Wi(x) < 0}| < |{i ∈ N : Wi(y) < 0}| or [|{i ∈ N : Wi(x) < 0}| =|{i ∈ N : Wi(y) <
0}| and xRjy], where j ∈ N is some antecedently fixed tie-breaking individual.
More general impossibility and possibility theorems
As we have seen, in preference aggregation, the ‘boundary’ between possibility and
impossibility results is easy to draw: when there are only two decision alternatives, all of the
desiderata on a preference aggregation rule reviewed above can be satisfied (and majority rule
does the job); when there are three or more alternatives, there are impossibility results. In
judgment aggregation, by contrast, the picture is more complicated. What matters is not the
number of propositions in X but the nature of the logical interconnections between them.

papakonstantinidis Page 51
Impossibility results in judgment aggregation have the following generic form: for a given
class of agendas, the aggregation rules satisfying a particular set of conditions (usually, a
domain condition, a rationality condition, and some responsiveness conditions) are non-
existent or degenerate (e.g., dictatorial). Different kinds of agendas trigger different instances
of this scheme, with stronger or weaker conditions imposed on the aggregation rule
depending on the properties of those agendas (for a more detailed review, see List 2012)97
.
The significance of combinatorial properties of the agenda was first discovered by Nehring
and Puppe (2002)98
in a mathematically related but interpretationally distinct framework
(strategy-proof social choice over so-called property spaces). Three kinds of agenda stand
out:
A non-simple agenda: X has a minimally inconsistent subset of three or more propositions.
A pair-negatable agenda: X has a minimally inconsistent subset Y that can be rendered
consistent by negating a pair of propositions in it. (Equivalently, X is not isomorphic to a set of
propositions whose only connectives are ¬ and ↔;
A path-connected agenda (or totally blocked, in Nehring and Puppe 2002): For any p, q∈ X,
there is a sequence p1, p2, …, pk ∈ X with p1 = p and pk = q such that p1conditionally
entails p2, p2 conditionally entails p3, …, and pk−1 conditionally entails pk.
(Here, pi conditionally entails pj if pi ∪ Y entails pj for some Y ⊆ X consistent with each
of pi and ¬pj.)
Some agendas have two or more of these properties. The agendas in our ‘doctrinal paradox’
and ‘discursive dilemma’ examples are both non-simple and pair-negatable. The preference
agenda, X = {‘x is preferable to y’, ‘y is preferable to x’, ‘x is preferable to z’, ‘z is preferable
to x’, …}, is non-simple, pair-negatable, and path-connected (assuming preferability is
transitive and complete). The following result holds:
Theorem (Dietrich and List 2007b)99
building on Nehring and Puppe 2002): If X is non-simple,
pair-negatable, and path-connected, there exists no judgment aggregation rule satisfying
universal domain, collective rationality, independence, unanimity preservation (requiring that,
for any unanimous profile <J, J, …, J>, F(J, J, …, J) = J), and non-dictatorship.
Applied to the preference agenda, this result yields Arrow's theorem (for strict preference
orderings) as a corollary (predecessors of this result can be found in List and Pettit 2004 and
Nehring (2003)100
Thus Arrovian preference aggregation can be reinterpreted as a special case
of judgment aggregation.
The literature contains several variants of this theorem. One variant drops the agenda property
of path-connectedness and strengthens independence to systematicity. A second variant
drops the agenda property of pair-negatability and imposes a monotonicity condition on the
aggregation rule (requiring that additional support never hurt an accepted proposition)

(Nehring and Puppe 2010)101
; the latter result was first proved in the above-mentioned
mathematically related framework by Nehring and Puppe 2002). A final variant drops both
path-connectedness and pair-negatability while imposing both systematicity and
monotonicity (ibid.).
In each case, the agenda properties are not only sufficient but also (if n ≥ 3) necessary for the
result (Nehring and Puppe 2002,)102
Note also that path-connectedness implies non-
simplicity. Therefore, non-simplicity need not be listed among the theorem's conditions,
though it is needed in the variants dropping path-connectedness.
Non-dictatorial judgment aggregation rules
Relaxing universal domain
As in preference aggregation, one way to avoid the present impossibility results is to relax
universal domain. If the domain of admissible profiles of individual judgment sets is restricted
to those satisfying specific ‘cohesion’ conditions, propositionwise majority voting produces
consistent collective judgments.
The simplest cohesion condition is unidimensional alignment (List 2003c). A profile <J1, J2,
…, Jn> is unidimensionally aligned if the individuals in N can be ordered from left to right
(e.g., on some cognitive or ideological dimension) such that, for every proposition p ∈ X, the
individuals accepting p (i.e., those with p ∈ Ji) are either all to the left, or all to the right, of
those rejecting p (i.e., those with p ∉ Ji), as illustrated in Table . For any such profile, the
majority judgments are consistent: the judgment set of the median individual relative to the
left-right ordering will prevail (where n is odd). This judgment set will inherit its consistency
from the median individual, assuming individual judgments are consistent. By implication, on
unidimensionally aligned domains, propositionwise majority voting will satisfy the rest of the
conditions on judgment aggregation rules reviewed above.
Table: Unidimensional alignment
Individual 1 Individual 2 Individual 3 Individual 4 Individual 5
p True True False False False
q True True True True False
r False False False True True
p ∧ q ∧ r False False False False False
In analogy with the case of single-peakedness in preference aggregation, several less
restrictive conditions already suffice for consistent majority judgments. One such condition
(introduced in Dietrich and List 2010a, where a survey is provided) generalizes Sen's triple-
wise value-restriction. A profile <J1, J2, …, Jn> is value-restricted if every minimally

papakonstantinidis Page 53
inconsistent subset Y ⊆ X has a pair of elements p, q such that no individual i ∈ N has {p, q}
⊆ Ji. Value-restriction prevents any minimally inconsistent subset of X from becoming
majority-accepted, and hence ensures consistent majority judgments. Applied to the
preference agenda, value-restriction reduces to Sen's equally named condition.
3. LIBERAL PARADOX (Amartya Sen)103,104
In general (K Arrow) "If we exclude the possibility of interpersonal comparisons of utility, then
the only methods of passing from individual tastes to social preferences which will be
satisfactory and which will be defined for a wide range of sets of individual orderings are
either imposed or dictatorial" (see at the voting system)
The theorem has implications for welfare economics and theories of justice. It was extended
by Amartya Sen to the liberal paradox which argued that given a status of "Minimal Liberty"
there was no way to obtain Pareto optimality nor to avoid the problem of social choice of
neutral but unequal results. liberal paradox105 The liberal paradox states that Arrow's theorem
says that if the decision-making body has at least two members and at least three options to
decide among, then it is impossible to design a social welfare function that satisfies all these
conditions at once

Amartya Sen to the “liberal paradox” which argued that given a status of "Minimal Liberty"

An example of this would be to have the following choices to divide a cake between three
people. Let us call them A, B and C.

Choice1 A gets nothing B gets half C gets half
Choice 2 B gets nothing A gets half C gets half

Thus, if each person votes to get as much cake as possible, choice 4 would be third from the
top in everyone's list, and would in any direct choice lose 2 to 1 against an unequal
distribution. Since all of these choices are Pareto-optimal – no one's welfare can be improved
without reducing the welfare of others – choice 4 would not be chosen, since there would
always be other preferred choices.

corporation that has its facilities and other assets in at least one country other than its home
country. Such companies have offices and/or factories in different countries and usually have
a centralized head office where they co-ordinate global management. Very large
multinationals have budgets that exceed those of many small countries Advocates of
multinationals say they create jobs and wealth and improve technology in countries that are in
need of such development. On the other hand, critics say multinationals can have undue
political influence over governments, can exploit developing nations as well as create job
losses in their own home countries, In their excellent work, titled "Strategy process

Whereas the emphasis of research in the field of strategic management had a traditionally
been laid on the investigation of the strategy content, the knowledge of the strategy process
and how promising strategies can be shaped and implemented within firms still remains
limited.

environment
Concluding the Social choice
In his dissertation Social Choice and Individual Values107 Arrow proved that there is no
democratic decision process which aggregates individual preferences into an unambiguous
result
The difficulties are caused by the assumption that individual preferences aren’t comparable.
There are basically two approaches to find a way out of this trap:
1. Individual preferences are made comparable by a normative act. They are subjected to
the judgment of an impartial observer, who makes a distinction between comparable
preferences (those which correspond to the Conditio Humana and individual
extravagances. The former are morally relevant and therefore considered in the
aggregation, whereas the latter are neglected. The most important representative of this
approach is John Harsanyi (1920-2000). Comparable preferences are called:
(a) fundamental preferences or human nature and (b) basic psychological laws or
extended preferences (Harsanyi)108.
2. Individual preferences are given up as a criterion for the valuation of social welfare and
replaced by capabilities. Capabilities are defined in constitutions and laws. (Extended
preferences are a tool to model the impartial observer)
3. The Capability Approach emphasizes functional capabilities ("substantive freedoms", such
as the ability to live to old age, engage in economic transactions, or participate in political
activities); these are construed in terms of the substantive freedoms people have reason

to value, instead of utility /happiness desire-fulfillment) (…) Someone could be deprived
of such capabilities in many ways, e.g. by ignorance, government oppression, lack of
financial resources, or false consciousness109
4. Social situations are valuated according to potentials (resources) which are offered to
individuals. The usage of these potentials is then a concern of the individuals and not of
society. Similar to above attempt to find morally relevant preferences, an attempt was
made to find morally relevant potentials by subjecting them to the judgment of an
impartial and empathic observer. The most important representative of this approach
is John Rawls (1921-2002)110

, the “word of social welfare” and for crisis resolution
a. This work started with a simplistic syllogism: Capitalism with its fundamental axioms
of the "free market" and "competition" has solved many problems but created more
One of these is the "social inequality" and the consequent absence of "social welfare"
The "bargain" and the subsequent “bargaining power” manifested in and by this are on the
basis of the capitalist system
In the bargain there are two (2) quite rational negotiators with totally opposite interests that
try to achieve an agreement (or even disagreement), pursuing each one to gain the greatest
individual (and not collective) profit
It seems to me, that the "social welfare"(the objective of a probable “social choice”) is
impossible within the capitalist system that has at its center the man who acts rationally and
always for his personal interests
It was very easy for Kenneth Arrow (1950)116 to prove the "impossibility” of Social Choice
(inside the capitalist system) in his homonymous theorem (which earned him the Nobel Prize
in Economics in 1972)
“Game Theory” [especially, the “Non-cooperative Game Theory”] has an important contribution
to restart the “New-classical economic school” due to its character, as a conflict game between
2: The theory of games117 is a mathematical discipline designed to treat rigorously the
question of optimal behavior of participants in games of strategy and to determine the
resulting equilibria. Thus, in games of strategy118 there is conflict of interest as well as
possible cooperation among the participants. There may be uncertainty for each participant
because the actions of others may not be known with certainty. Such situations, often of
extreme complexity, are found not only in games but also in business, politics, war, and other
social activities. Therefore, the theory serves to interpret both games themselves and social
phenomena with which certain games are strictly identical. The theory is normative in that it
aims at giving advice to each player about his optimal behavior; it is descriptive when viewed

as a model for analyzing empirically given occurrences. In analyzing games the theory does
not assume rational behavior; rather, it attempts to determine what “rational” can mean when
an individual is confronted with the problem of optimal behavior in games and equivalent
situations119.
In contrast, if it were possible to import third party (natural or legal person, company, state,
associations of states) to negotiation between two (2) then this "new" person should have a
dual character, to produce results:
(a) as the third member of the bargaining
(b) as the "entity -omprella", or as an agent over the other two negotiators, claiming his share
of any agreement (or disagreement)
But why, the two original parts (A-B) must accept an entity, "C" (whatever it is), in a bargain
between them which do not come from the set of possible positions defined by the
competition of their individual interests?
This is the point, which the “win-win-win papakonstantinidis theory” has been based on
Generally, this point has the most important contribution in building the new perception
(step by step) that is suggested here
This central question is broken down into three sub-questions, each of which follows another
way in the order of priority that have been completed (and one question for its practical utility)
1. What is the real meaning of the term “social welfare”?
2. Can a theory or a model based on the incompatibilities other theorems and theories
be supported and interpreted?
3. Does exist the only one “win-win-win papakonstantinidis 3D equilibrium” or not?
4. If YES, then which is its practical utility? Are there examples on it?

Stefen Ross127:”… The relationship of agency is one of the oldest and commonest codified modes of social
interaction. We will say that an agency relationship has arisen between two (or more) parties when one, designated
as the agent, acts for, on behalf of, or as representative for the other, designated the principal, in a particular
domain of decision problems. Examples of agency are universal. Essentially all contractural arrangements, as
between employer and employee or the state and the governed, for example, contain important elements of
agency. In addition, without explicitly studying the agency relationship, much of the economic literature on
problems of moral hazard (see K. J. Arrow) is concerned with problems raised by agency. In a general equilibrium
context the study of information flows (see J. Marschak and R. Radner) or of financial intermediaries in monetary
models is also an example of agency theory. The canonical agency posed as follows. Assume that both the agent
and the principal possess state independent von Neumann-Morgenstern utility functions, G(.) and U(.)
respectively, and that they act so as to maximize their expected utility. The problems of agency are really most
interesting when seen as involving choice under uncertainty and this is the view we will adopt. The agent may
choose an act, aCA, a feasible action space, and the random payoff from this act, w(a, 0), will depend on the random
state of nature O(EQ the state space set), unknown to the agent when a is chosen. By assumption the agent and the
principal have agreed upon a fee schedule f to be paid to the agent for his services. T he fee, f, is generally a function
of both the state of the world, 0, and the action, a, but we will assume that the action can influence the parties and,
hence, the fee only through its impact on the payoff. T his permits us to write, (1) f = f(w(a,6);6). Two points deserve
mention. Obviously the choice of a fee schedule is the outcome of a bargaining problem or, in large games, of a
market process. Much of what we have to say is relevant for this view but we will not treat the bargaining problem
explicitly. Second, while it is possible to conceive of the fee as being directly functionally dependent on the act, the
theory loses much of its interest, since without further conditions, such a fee can always be chosen as a Dirac 8-
function forcing a particular act (see S. Ross). In some sense, then, we are assuming that only the payoff is
operational and we will take this point up below. Now, the agent will choose an act, a, so as to (2) max E{G[f(w(a, 0);
0)]}, a 0 where the agent takes the expectation over his subjectively held probability distribution. The solution to the
agent's problem involves the choice of an optimal act, ao, conditional on the particular fee schedule, i.e., ao=a((f)),
where a(.) is a mapping from the space of fee schedules into A. If the principal has complete information about the
fee to act mapping, a((f)), he will now choose a fee so as to max El U[wv(a((f)), 0) (3 (f) e (3) - f(w(a((f)), 0); 0)] where
the expectation is taken over the principal's subjective probability distribution over states of nature. If the principal
is not fully informed about a(.), then a(X) will be a random function from his point of view….” The problems of
agency are really most interesting when seen as involving choice under uncertainty and this is the view we will
adopt. The agent may choose an act, aCA, a feasible action space, and the random payoff from (and Stiglitz

of any social process is regarded as Pareto efficient if there is no way to
improve one or more people's situations without harming another. Put
another way, an outcome is not Pareto efficient if there is a way to improve at
least one person's situation without harming anyone else. Pareto optimality:
whenever all individuals of a society strictly prefer an outcome x over an
outcome y, the choice function doesn't pick y.
Informal and formal axiom systems
One big reason for the expressed disconnect is that Gödel’s theorems are about formal axiom
systems of a kind that play no role in daily mathematical work. Informal axiom systems for
various kinds of structures are of course ubiquitous in practice, viz. axioms for groups, rings,
fields, vector spaces, topological spaces, Hilbert spaces, etc., etc.; these axioms and their
basic consequences are so familiar it is rarely necessary to appeal to them explicitly, but they
serve to define one’s subject matter. They are to be contrasted with foundational axiom
systems for the “mother” structures--the natural numbers (Peano) and the real numbers
(Dedekind)--on the one hand, and for the general concepts of set and function (Zermelo-
Fraenkel) used throughout mathematics, on the other. Mathematicians may make explicit
appeal to the principle of induction for the natural numbers or the least upper bound principle
for the real numbers or the axiom of choice for sets, but reference to foundational axiom
systems in practice hardly goes beyond that.
One informal statement of the basic Peano axioms for the natural numbers is that they
concern a structure (N, 0, s) where 0 is in N, the successor function s is a unary one-one map
from N into N which does not have 0 in its range, and the Induction Principle is satisfied in the
following form: (IP) for any property P(x), if P(0) holds and if for all x in N, P(x) implies P(s(x))
then for all x in N, P(x) holds.
c.
b. Non-cooperative equilibrium One of the important open problems has been the
reconciliation of the various non-cooperative theories of oligopolistic competition
with general equilibrium theory. The major difficulty is that the oligopoly models are
open in the sense that the customers-are usually not considered as players with
strategic freedom, while the general equilibrium model considers every individual in
the same manner, regardless of his position in the economy. Since the firms are
players in the oligopoly models, it is necessary to specify the domain of the strategies
they control and their payoffs under all circumstances. In a general equilibrium model
[Type text]
papakonstantinidis Page 63
no individual is considered a player; all are regarded as individual maximizers. Walras’
law is assumed to hold, and supply is assumed to equal demand.
When an attempt is made to consider a closed economic model as a non-cooperative game,
considerable difficulties are encountered in describing the strategies of the players. This can
be seen immediately by considering the bilateral monopoly problem; each individual does not
really know what he is in a position to buy until he finds out what he can sell. In order to
model this type of situation as a game, it may be necessary to consider strategies which do
not clear the market and which may cause a player to become bankrupt—i.e., unable to meet
his commitments. Shapley and Shubik (in Shubik 1967) have successfully modeled the closed
two-sided two-commodity market without side payments and have shown that the non-
cooperative equilibrium point converges from below the Pareto-optimal surface to the
competitive equilibrium point. They also have considered more goods and markets on the
assumption of the existence of a transferable (but not necessarily comparable) utility.
When there are more than two commodities and one market, the existence of a unique
competitive equilibrium point appears to be indispensable in defining the strategies and
payoffs of players in a non-cooperative game. No one has succeeded in constructing a
satisfactory general market model as a non-cooperative game without using a side-payment
mechanism. The important role played by the side-payment commodity is that of a strategy
decoupler. It means that a player with a supply of this type of “money” can decide what to buy
even though he does not know what he will sell.
In summary, it appears that, in the limit, at least three considerably different game-theoretic
solutions are coincidental with the competitive equilibrium solution. This means that by
considering different solutions we may interpret the com petitive market in terms of
decentralization, fair division, the power of groups, and the attenuation of power of the
individual.
The stable-set solution of von Neumann and Morgenstern, the bargaining set of Aumann and
Maschler (1964), the “self-policing” properties of certain imputation sets of Vickrey (1959),
and several other related cooperative solutions appear to be more applicable to sociology, and
possibly anthropology, than to economics. There has been no indication of a limiting behavior
for these solutions as numbers grow on the contrary, it is conjectured that in general the
solutions proliferate. When, however, numbers are few, as in cartel arrangements and in
[Type text]
papakonstantinidis Page 64
international trade, these other solutions provide insights, as Nyblen has shown in his work
dealing with stable sets (1951).
Nonexistence of competitive equilibrium
When conditions other than those needed for the existence of a competitive equilibrium hold,
such as external economies or diseconomies, joint ownership, increasing returns to scale, and
interlinked tastes, then the different solutions in general do not converge. There may be no
competitive equilibrium; the core may be empty; and the definition of a non-cooperative game
when joint property is at stake will call for a statement of the laws concerning damages and
threats. (Similarly, even though the conditions for the existence of a competitive equi librium
are satisfied, the various solutions will be different if there are few participants.) When the
competitive equilibrium does not exist, we must seek another criterion to solve the problem of
distribution or, if possible, change the laws to rein-troduce the competitive equilibrium. The
other solutions provide different criteria. However, if a society desires, for example, to have its
distribution system satisfy conditions of decentralization and fair division, or of fair division
and limits on power of groups, it may be logically impossible to do so. Davis and Whinston
(1962), Scarf (1964), and Shapley and Shubik (1964) have investigated applications of game
theory to external economies, to increasing returns to scale, and to joint ownership. In the
case of joint ownership the relation between economics and politics as mechanisms for the
distribution of the proceeds from jointly owned resources is evident. It must be noted that the
“many solutions” approach to distribution is in contrast to the type of welfare economics that
considers a community welfare function or social preferences, which are not necessarily
constructed from individual preferences.
As for the third sub-question the most important for this work, a naive answer should be:
Because of the existence of this third entity (the “C” factor) in the bargaining process that
ensures itself the negotiation and further promotes overall collective welfare and prevents to
creating monopoly’s situation In such games each participant is striving for his greatest
advantage in situations where the outcome depends not only on his actions alone, nor solely
on those of nature, but also on those of other participants whose interests are sometimes
opposed, sometimes parallel, to his own.Game theory methods have provided several new
insights in general equilibrium economics. Under the appropriate conditions on preferences
and production, it has been proved that a price system that clears the market will exist,
provided that each individual acts as an independent maximizer. On this point, the “win-win-
win equilibrium (if it exists) could introduce the real meaning of “social” In this frame I’ve tried
to interpret the win-win-win situation, by maximizing the total utility objective function (for
the 3 parts of Bargain)

Papakonstantinidis L.A(2002-August 14) “The win-win-win model” Euracademy Guide The Visby University-Gotland-SW 133
John von Neumann- Oscar Morgenstern (1944) “theory of games and economic behavior” –PRINCETON-
University..Press..ed
Concluding,
I tried to identify the "win-win-win" as a key tool for the approach to social welfare by clicking
on the incompatibility of five basic theorems that define it - each one of its own side-either
positive (justice theorem ) or negative (the impossibility theorem)
The suggested "win-win-win papakonstantinidis model”132is built up on these
incompatibilities, in particular as regards the pairs" Pareto efficiency – Impossibility Theorem”
"paradox liberty (Amartya Sen) - Pareto Efficiency” , “Theorem of Justice –Pareto Efficiency”
and (the most important) “the Theorem of incompleteness-the Impossibility Theorem”
The win-win-win papakonstantinidis model is a methodological tool for conflict resolution,
especially in the case of decision making, or in forming "instant reflection winning strategies"
in the BARGAIN (which is the frame) The “win-win-win papakonstantinidis model” concerns
the strategic decision making in a number of fields and domains (biology, psychology,
management, marketing, history- especially in interpretation of historic events-laography,
ethnology, anthropogeography, philosophy, economy, sociology, pure math, communication,
public speech, diplomacy, and go on The reason so many regards thinking and research
fields lies in the very nature of the model, especially in its triple pole perception, which leads
us to see things from another, alternative approach, the triple view, whether in psychology or
interpretation of historical events or diplomacy, or communication, or MANAGEMENT
Special regard is given to regional and local development field both as a regional and social
sciences. It proves that building social capital at local level mainly depends on social trust
links among local people: Social cohesion based on social capital may be measured by the
diversification Rate (R *) from strict globalization rules: From this point of view, local people’s
intervention should be useful, so as to diversify these "rules" at local level adjusting them to
local identity, including communication code, customs, ethics, culture. The Win-win-win
methodology [Papakonstantinidis Model] should facilitate local people to "readjust" bargaining
globalization rules locally, through a sensitization process: Community is defined as a discrete
spatial / cultural entity at its sensitization process' limit
The “win-win-win papakonstantinidis model” (2002, August, SW) may, thus, transform
individual winning –instant reflection –strategies (the win-win Nash Theory) in a NEW –three
poles-equilibrium point, including the COMMUNITY (Environmental Protection, Value Systems,
Ethic etc), which is the “absolute cooperation” limit point in the bargain between TWO
Since the game theory (exactly: the “non cooperative game theory”) saved the New-classical
School of Thought in Economics letting it to make a restart, focusing on the “bargaining
equilibrium” (Nash Equilibrium) and the equimarginal principle (consumer choice) it seems
that the bargaining behavior is in the centre of our research
Starting from the “zero sum two players game” (John von Neumann- Oscar Morgenstern
1944)133in the form of “win- lose” at any bargain, then was the John Forbs Nash who made the
difference, letting in both bargainers to win (win-win) But, for another time this bargain was

rather to the side of the winners (due to their bargaining force) than eliminating social
inequalities (the winner takes it all)
With this aim an hypothetical dipole bargain between 2 bargainers (*A,B) converted into 3-
pole by introducing the "Community" (the village, the town, the inhabitants of a country, a
continent, planet, after all) as a third pole in any bargain (win-win-win)
So the concept is to construct a theoretical-original-model so that it should respond better to
the conditions of "social welfare"
With this aim an hypothetical triple-pole bargain between 2 (A and B and the "Community"
included as the third pole) is a basis for scientific dialogue By the tem “Community” we can
imagine any common structure, i.e the village, the town, the inhabitants of a country, a
continent, planet, after all-
The point is that the third pole (the Community) will claim its own profits, in a future
negotiation It is about a "win-win-win" concept which is now the global requirement For
example, the first concrete example has to do with environmental protection Climate change
leaves no room to 2 competitors without considering the entire rest of the world Each
negotiation between 2 concerns the entire planet The how achieved in practice I think it can be
done with Laws, as long as there is the political will of Another Dimension It has to do with the
war see the two superpowers to compete by focusing on the war in the Middle East (Syria and
Iraq) But the agreement or disagreement affects millions of people in the two countries who
come as refugees to Europe
The recognition of the third pole in our daily life is connected with its social necessity
Without any imposition by dictatorial regimes, the 3-pole approach to bargaining, is necessary
and unavoidable if and only if humankind seeks survival solutions
In a “win-win-win” negotiation there is more possibility of achieving social welfare: This can
be proved by the math example below On the other side we have 5 basic foundational and
global known Theorems which are incompatible So the concept here was to put them one
against the other and seek "material" to build the new
For example, the Incompleteness Theorem (Gödel) fades the Impossibility Theorem (K. Arrow)
and the Pareto Efficiency is basic for the Impossibility Theorem, but not for the “Justice
theorem (Rawls) But from these incompatibilities arises a necessity of completeness,
effectiveness, universal justice, a necessity of "umbilical points" freedom , economic
equilibrium The synthesis of all these lead to a situation utopia (romantic, idealistic) will
certainly not get, but shows us, from the other, a path of self-preservation and survival if the
goal is not suicidal

THEORETICAL CONTRIBUTION
It has “been adopted” through centuries, the concept that the human relations, the whole
life, our planet, our universe is a continuous big conflict In this concept, the simplest form of
conflict concerns two ID SEPARATE parts of thinking and behavior
If it were possible for us to "introduce" a third autonomous part (whatever it is) in a bargain
between two, then it should also be possible to imagine that this "personality" could be both a
"third part of the bargain" as well as the “overall monitoring” without violating individual rights
and freedom of negotiations Basically, the "state", the "community" is highlighted, having first
of all ensure its own functions. This study tries to set the framework for a well-governed state
/ community on simple rules that relate exclusively to "interaction" in all its versions
Is this work a “theoretical contribution?
To answer this question, it could be nessecary to understand of what is a “theoretical
contribution”:
o Basically, the intent is not to create a new conceptualization of theory, but rather to
propose several simple concepts for discussing the theory-development process.
o From the other hand, in this work is attempted a “new creation” to be launched over a
new path of thought as it is expected to be applicable in a wide field of sciences
(psychology,marketing, management,biology,history,economy,sociology,laography
To analyze these, it is nessecary 3 key-questions to be answered:
a. What are the building blocks of theory development?
b. What is a legitimate value-added contribution to theory development? and

c. What factors are considered in judging conceptual papers? The first section describes
the constituent elements of a theory. The second section uses this framework to
establish standards for the theory-development process.
ANALYSIS
What is a theory?
The summary and synthesis of what is known about a field It is the reduction of our
knowledge to the basic ideas, presented in a way that shows their underlying patterns
and relationships. (David Moore, 1991) 134 Development theory is a conglomeration or
a collective vision of theories about how desirable change in society is best achieved.
Such theories draw on a variety of social science disciplines and approaches.
Theory explains how some aspect of human behavior or performance is organized. It
thus enables us to make predictions about that behavior.
The components of theory are concepts (ideally well defined) and principles.
A concept is a symbolic representation of an actual thing - tree, chair, table,
computer, distance, etc.
Construct is the word for concepts with no physical referent - democracy, learning,
freedom, etc. Language enables conceptualization.
A principle expresses the relationship between two or more concepts or constructs.
In the process of theory development, one derives principles based on oneΥs
examining/questioning how things/concepts are related.
Concepts and principles serve two important functions:
1) They help us to understand or explain what is going on around us.
2) They help us predict future events (Can be causal or correlational)
A theory is a related set of concepts and principles
- about a phenomenon
- the purpose of which is to explain or predict the phenomenon
Why theory is important
1. Theory provides concepts to name what we observe and to explain relationships
between concepts. Theory allows us to explain what we see and to figure out how to
bring about change. Theory is a tool that enables us to identify a problem and to plan

a means for altering the situation.
2. Theory is to justify reimbursement to get funding and support - need to explain
what is being done and demonstrate that it works - theory and research
3. Theory is to enhance the growth of the professional area to identify a body of
knowledge with theories from both within and with out the area of distance learning.
That body of knowledge grows with theory and research. Theory guides research135.
According to David A. Whetten (1989) 136 and Robert Dubin,
(1959)137,138, on theory-development a complete theory must give
answers to the questions:
(a) What are the building blocks of theory development?
(b) What is a legitimate value-added contribution to theory development? and
(c) What factors are considered in judging conceptual ideas?
A. What Are the Building Blocks of Theory Development?
According to theory-development authorities (e.g., Dubin, 1978), a complete theory
must contain four essential elements, which are described in the following
paragraphs.
1. WHAT. Which factors (variables, constructs, concepts) logically should be considered as
part of the explanation of the social or individual phenomena of interest? Two criteria
exist for judging the extent to which we have included the "right" factors:
COMPREHENSIVENESS (i.e., are all relevant factors included?) and PARSIMONY (i.e., should

138 Dubin, R. (1959) "Deviant Behavior and Social Structure: Continuities in Social Theory." American Sociological Review24:147-
163. - Robert Dubin (1959) viewed deviance as a function of society, disputing the assumption that the deviant adaptations to
situations of anomie are necessarily harmful to society. For example, an individual in the ritualistic adaptation is still playing by
the rules and taking part in society. The only deviance lies in abandoning one or more of its culturally prescribed goals. Dubin
argued that Merton's focus on the relationship between society’s emphasized goals, and institutionalized prescribed means
was inadequate.Structural this refers to the processes at the societal level which filter down and affect how the individual
perceives his or her needs, i.e. if particular social structures are inherently inadequate or there is inadequate regulation, this
may change the individual's perceptions as to means and opportunities; or
Individual: this refers to the frictions and pains experienced by an individual as he or she looks for ways to satisfy his or her
needs, i.e. if the goals of a society become significant to an individual, actually achieving them may become more important
than the means adopted.

some factors be deleted because they add little additional value to our under-
standing?).
2. When authors begin to map out the conceptual landscape of a topic they should err in
favor of including too many factors, recognizing that over time their ideas will be
refined. It is generally easier to delete unnecessary or invalid elements than it is to
justify additions. However, this should not be interpreted as license to throw in the
kitchen sink. Sensitivity to the competing virtues of parsimony and
comprehensiveness is the hallmark of a good theorist.
3. How. Having identified a set of factors, the researcher's next question is, How are they
related? Operationally this involves using "arrows" to connect the "boxes." Such a step
adds order to the conceptualization by explicitly delineating patterns. In addition, it
typically introduces causality. Although the researcher may be unable to adequately
test these links, restrictions in methods do not invalidate the inherent causal nature of
theory.
4. Together the What and How elements constitute the domain or subject of the theory.
The more complex the set of relationships under consideration, the more useful it is
to graphically depict them. Not all theoretical treatises must contain figures with
boxes and arrows, but a visual representation often clarifies the author's thinking and
increases the reader's comprehension. In particular, formal models aid theory de-
velopers and users to assess the balance between parsimony and completeness.
5. WHY. What are the underlying psychological, economic, or social dynamics that justify
the selection of factors and the proposed causal relationships? This rationale
constitutes the theory's assumptions—the theoretical glue that welds the model
together. (Like Dubin, I do not distinguish between a model and a theory.)
6. The central question addressed here is: Why should colleagues give credence to this
particular representation of the phenomena? The answer lies in the logic underlying
the model. The soundness of fundamental views of human nature, organizational
requisites, or societal processes provide the basis for judging the reasonableness of
the proposed conceptualization.
c. Who, Where, When. These conditions place limitations on the propositions generated
from a theoretical model. These temporal and contextual factors set the boundaries of
generalizabil-ity, and as such constitute the range of the theory. Scholars who study
the effects of time and context on people and events keep asking nagging the
“research questions” Although it is unfair to expect that theorists should be sensitive
to all possible boundary constraints, clearly there is value in conducting some simple
mental tests of the generalizability of core propositions. For example, theorists should
be encouraged to think about whether their theoretical effects vary over time, either
because other time-dependent variables are theoretically important or because the
theoretical effect is unstable for some reason.
d. Sensitivity to context is especially important for theories based on experience.
According to the contextualist perspective (Gergen, 1982)139, meaning is derived from

context. That is, we understand what is going on by appreciating where and when it is
happening. Observations are embedded and must be understood within a context.
Therefore, authors of inductively generated theories have a particular responsibility
for discussing limits of generalizability. Although it is important for theorists to be
sensitive to context, the Who, Where, and When of a theory are typically discovered
through subsequent tests of the initial, rudimentary theoretical statement (What, How,
Why). In the process of testing these ideas in various settings, we discover the
inherent limiting conditions. In the absence of this breadth of experimental evidence,
we must be realistic regarding the extent of a theorist's foreknowledge of all the
possible limitations on a theory's applicability.

B. What Is a Legitimate, Value-Added Contribution to Theory Development?
1. WHAT AND HOW. Although, in principle, it is possible to make an important theoretical
contribution by simply adding or subtracting factors (Whats) from an existing model,
this process seldom satisfies reviewers. The additions or deletions typically proposed
are not of sufficient magnitude to substantially alter the core logic of the existing
model. One way to demonstrate the value of a proposed change in a list of factors is
to identify how this change affects the accepted relationships between the variables
(Hows). Just as a list of variables does not constitute a theory, so the addition of a new
variable to an existing list should not be mistaken as a theoretical contribution.
Relationships, not lists, are the domain of theory. As Poincare (1983) so aptly noted,
"Science is facts, just as houses are made of stone. . . . But a pile of stones is not a
house, and a collection of facts is not necessarily science." Therefore, theoretical
insights come from demonstrating how the addition of a new variable significantly
alters our understanding of the phenomena by reorganizing our causal maps. For
example, the addition of "growth-need strength" to job-design theories transformed
extant views and altered research practice Important changes in a theory's What and
How are frequently stimulated by surprising research results. In the process of
gathering either quantitative or qualitative data, scholars are often confronted with an
inconsistency between their observations and conventional wisdom. Although contrary
results are frequently discounted by theorists on the basis of measurement error,
ongoing challenges to outmoded thinking about motivation (Organ, 1988) demon-
strate that sufficient data can be persuasive.
[Type text]
papakonstantinidis Page 76
2. WHY. This is probably the most fruitful, but also the most difficult avenue of theory
development. It commonly involves borrowing a perspective from other fields, which
encourages altering our metaphors and gestalts in ways that challenge the underlying
rationales supporting accepted theories. This profound challenge to our views of
human nature, group development, organizational transactions, and so forth,
generally precipitates a broad reconceptualization of affected theories.This aspect of
conceptual development is particularly critical, and generally overlooked. Theories
often are challenged because their assumptions have been proven unrealistic (gener-
ally by work imported from other areas). Although it is just as difficult to build
consensus around paradigmatic truth as around empirical fact, nonetheless, recent
macro theoretical developments involving ecology and economics demonstrate the
salience of this approach
3. Who, WHEN, WHERE. Generally, it is insufficient to point out limitations in current
conceptions of a theory's range of application. For example, discovering that a
mainstream personnel selection model has low predictive validity in a military setting
does not by itself constitute a theoretical contribution. In addition, theorists need to
understand why this anomaly exists, so that they can revise the HOW and WHAT of the
model to accommodate this new information.Conversely, applying an old model to a
new setting and showing that it works as expected is not instructive by itself. This
conclusion has theoretical merit only if something about the new setting suggests the
theory shouldn't work under those
C. What factors are considered in judging conceptual ideas, or what constitutes a
publishable theory study?
This question (the last key-question) is analyzed in six following questions:
1. WHAT'S NEW? Does the idea make a significant, value-added contribution to current
thinking? Scope tends to reflect the level of theorizing (general versus middle level),
while degree reflects the radicalness of the proposal.
2. So WHAT? Will the theory likely change the practice of organizational science in this
area? Are linkages to research evident (either explicitly laid out, or easily, reliably
deduced)?
3. WHY SO? Are the underlying logic and supporting evidence compelling? Are the
author's assumptions explicit? Are the author's views believable?
4. WELL DONE? Does the idea reflect seasoned thinking, conveying completeness and
thoroughness? Are multiple theoretical elements (What, How, Why, When-Where-Who)
covered? Do the arguments reflect a broad, current understanding of the subject? If
propositions are included, are they used properly? Does the argument have any
glaring logical flaws?
5. Done WELL? Is the idea well written? Does it flow logically? Are the central ideas easily
accessed? Is it enjoyable to read? Is the idea long enough to cover the subject but

Development theory:
Development theory is a conglomeration or a collective vision of theories about how desirable
change in society is best achieved. Such theories draw on a variety of social science disciplines
and approaches.
During the theory-development process, logic replaces data as the basis for evaluation. Theo-
rists must convince others that their propositions make sense if they hope to have an impact
on the practice of research. If the theoretical model is a useful guide for research, by
definition, all the relationships in the model have not been tested. If all links have been
empirically verified, the model is ready for the classroom and is of little value in the
laboratory. The mission of a theory-development journal is to challenge and extend existing
knowledge, not simply to rewrite it. Therefore, authors should push back the boundaries of
our knowledge by providing compelling and logical justifications for altered views. This
requires explaining the Whys underlying the reconstituted Whats and Hows.
Why research is conducted has important implications for the link between theory develop-
ment and empirical research. Combining the Hows and the Whats produces the typical model,
from which testable propositions can be derived. (The primary difference between prop-
ositions and hypotheses is that propositions involve concepts, whereas hypotheses require
measures.) Technically, these statements (e.g., A is caused by B) can be tested without under-
standing the Whys underlying the model. However, this tends to lead to empirically, rather
than theoretically, dominated discussions of the implications of a study's results. As a field,
when we have insufficient understanding of why we collectively started an investigative
journey, or what theoretical direction we are following, then our discourse tends to degenerate
into heated methodological debates over how fast we are traveling. To avoid vacuous discus-
sions, propositions should be well grounded in the Whys, as well as the Hows and the Whats.
To summarize thus far: What and How describe; only Why explains. What and How provide a
framework for interpreting patterns, or discrepancies, in our empirical observations. This is an
important distinction because data, whether qualitative or quantitative, characterize; theory
supplies the explanation for the characteristics. Therefore, we must make sure that what is
passing as good theory includes a plausible, cogent explanation for why we should expect
certain relationships in our data. Together these three elements provide the essential ingre-
dients of a simple theory: description and explanation.
The Social Constructionist Orientation
Next step in defining a “theoretical contribution” in social sciences is to approach the Social
Constructionist Orientation (SCO)
[Type text]
papakonstantinidis Page 78
The Social Constructionist Orientation
Social constructionist inquiry is principally con¬cerned with explicating the processes by
which people come to describe, explain, or otherwise account for the world (including
themselves) in which they live. It attempts to articulate common forms of under¬standing as
they now exist, as they have existed in prior historical periods, and as they might exist should
creative attention be so directed. At the metatheoretical level most such work manifests one
or more of the following assumptions
1. What we take to be experience of the world does not in itself dictate the terms by which the
world is understood. What we take to be knowledge of the world is not a product of induction,
or of the building and testing of general hypotheses. The mounting criticism of the positivist-
empiricist con¬ception of knowledge has severely damaged the traditional view that scientific
theory serves to reflect or map reality in any direct or decontextualized manner
Social constructionism has been nurtured by the soil of such discontent. It begins with radical
doubt in the taken-for-granted world—whether in the sciences or daily life—and in a
specialized way acts as a form of social criticism. Constructionism asks one to suspend belief
that commonly accepted categories or understandings receive their warrant through
observation. Thus, it invites one to challenge the objective basis of conventional knowledge..
By exam¬ining the variations in the way differing cultures and subcultural groups understand
gender, the referents for the terms man and woman are obscured. Possi¬bilities are opened
for alternative means of under¬standing gender differences or of abandoning such
distinctions altogether. Emotions are not objects "out there" to be studied, ventured Sarbin;
emotion terms acquire their meaning not from real-world referents but from their context of
usage.
Social Constructionism in Historical Perspective
The significance of the constructionist movement is more fully appreciated against the
backdrop of history. Although a full treatment of the relevant background is beyond the scope
of this article, it does prove useful to understand constructionism in relation to two major and
competing intellectual traditions. These traditions can largely be distin¬guished in terras of
basic epistemologjcal orientations or models of knowledge. On the one hand, thinkers such as
Locke, Hume, the Mills, and various logical empiricists in the present century have traced the
source of knowledge (as mental representation) to events in the real world. Knowledge copies
(or should ideally copy) the contours of the world. This exogenic perspective (Gergen Kenneth,
1982) thus tends to view knowledge as a pawn to nature. Proper knowl¬edge maps or
mirrors the actualities of the real world. In contrast, philosophers such as Spinoza, Kant,
Nietzsche, and various phenomenologists have tended to adopt an endogenic perspective
regarding the origins of knowledge. In this case, knowledge depends on processes (sometimes
viewed as innate) endemic to the organism. Humans harbor inherent tendencies, it is said, to
[Type text]
papakonstantinidis Page 79
think, categorize, or process information, and it is these tendencies (rather than features of
the world in itself) that are of paramount importance in fashioning knowledge.
The exogenic-endogenic antinomy has also played a major role in the history of psychological
theory. As I have outlined elsewhere (Gergen, 1982), early German theorists often wrestled in
vain with means of cementing the two perspectives. The at¬tempt of classical psychophysical
research to plot the precise relationship between external and internal worlds is but one case
in point. As psychology developed in the United States, guided as it was by both pragmatist
and positivist philosophy, it took on a strong exogenic character. Behaviorism (along with
neobehaviorism) placed (and continues to place) the major determinants of human activity in
the envi¬ronment. If the organism is to adapt successfully, it is claimed, its knowledge must
adequately represent or reflect that environment. Until recently the en¬dogenic perspective
failed to flourish on American soil. A handful of Gestalf psychologists, with their emphasis on
autochthonous tendencies of perceptual organization, and a stalwart band of
phenomenolo¬gists virtually prevented the"orientation from other¬wise perishing.
Yet, within the past two decades we have wit¬nessed what appears to be a major reversal in
emphasis. The endogenic perspective has returned in full force in the guise of cognitive
psychology. The seeds for this evolution in social psychology were planted by Kurt Lewin,
whose central concern with the psychological field was essentially a holdover from continental
rationalism. In the hands of his students this emphasis reinstituted itself in such concepts as
social (as opposed to physical) reality (Festinger, 1954), the social comparison process
motivated perception (Pepitone, 1949), emotions as perceived (Schachter, 1964), and
cognitive dissonance (Festinger, 1957) . The centrality of this work in social psychology also
served to hone the sensibilities of subsequent generations of re¬searchers. Concerns with
logical inference, cognitive schemata, information storage and retrieval, and cognitive
heuristics have all extended the Lewinian premise , : Human action is critically dependent on
the cognitive processing of information, that is, on the world as cognized rather than the
world as it is. Of course, much the same shift in explanatory emphasis has taken place within
psychology more generally. The contours of the "cognitive revolution" are widely recognized.

The “Caratheodory Conjecture” claims that any convex, closed and sufficiently smooth surface in three dimensional Euclidean space needs to admit at least two umbilic points. In the sense of the Conjecture, the spheroid with only two umbilic points and the sphere, all points of which are umbilic, are examples of surfaces with minimal and maximal numbers of umbilics. For the conjecture to be well posed, or the umbilic points to be well-defined, the surface needs to be at least twice differentiable. 151As we have no better proof of thought-emotion expression from the language, we have approach this linguistic expression

Professors (Moreno and Roemer+) the veil of ignorance (of the Rawlsian “Justice”
Philosophy), has been used often as a tool for recommending what justice requires with
respect to the distribution of wealth. They completed Harsanyi’s model of the veil of
ignorance by appending information permitting objective comparisons among persons. For
this, they introduced the concept of objective empathy.
3. These variables are examined in the frame of the “ZFC Sets Theory” which informally are
collections of objects. Although any type of object can be collected into a set, set theory is
applied most often to objects that are relevant to mathematics From this point of view, the
“win-win-win papakonstantinidis” variables could be concerned as “collections of objects”
4, U T I L I T Y (DEFINITIONS that the study took into consideration): In economics utility is a
measure of preferences over some set of goods and services. The concept is an important
underpinning of rational choice theory, or…“Utility Function is an important concept that
measures preferences over a set of goods and services. Utility is measured in units called
utils, which represent the welfare or satisfaction of a consumer from consuming a certain
number of goods. Because satisfaction or welfare is a highly abstract concept, economists
measure utility in terms of revealed preferences by observing consumer choices and creating
an ordering of consumption baskets from least desired to the most preferred. Economists
create a parametric functional form for the utility function based on the assumption of
observed consumer behavior, with the amount of goods as variables and certain fixed
parameters. After that, utility is calculated by substituting certain numerical values for the
consumption of goods in the utility function”.

Utility Function (in relation with the “consumre’s welfare” (in personal level)

choice theory to analyze human behavior.
Utility Calculation Example
To postulate the utility function, economists typically make assumptions about the human preferences for different goods. For example, in certain situations, tea and coffee can be considered perfect substitutes of each other and the appropriate utility function must reflect such preferences with a utility form of u(c, t) = c + t, where "u" denotes the utility function and "c" and "t" denote coffee and tea. A consumer who consumes 1 pound of coffee and no tea derives a utility of 1 util.
Von Neumann and O. Morgenstern
Utility functions Mathematically we need a function to map between the physical measure of
money and the perceived value of money. Such functions are called utility functions, and in
the context of wealth being a random variable on a probability space, they need to be
measurable functions on that space, and hence, utility functions are random variables.
Bernoulli was the first to suggest a utility function in 1738 as a solution to the St Petersburg
Paradox159 The theory was developed in its modern form by von Neumann and Morgenstern
in 1944.

See at APPENDIX (19) The St. Petersburg game: (This problem was discovered by the Swiss eighteenth-century mathematician
Nicolaus Bernoulli and was published by his brother Daniel in the St. Petersburg Academy Proceedings (1738; English trans.
1954); thus it's called the St. Petersburg Paradox)
A casino offers a game of chance for a single player in which a fair coin is tossed at each stage. The pot starts at 2 dollars and is
doubled every time a head appears. The first time a tail appears, the game ends and the player wins whatever is in the pot.
Thus the player wins 2 dollars if a tail appears on the first toss, 4 dollars if a head appears on the first toss and a tail on the
second, 8 dollars if a head appears on the first two tosses and a tail on the third, 16 dollars if a head appears on the first three
tosses and a tail on the fourth, and so on. In short, the player wins 2k dollars, where k equals number of tosses (k must be a
whole number and greater than zero). What would be a fair price to pay the casino for entering the game?
To answer this, one needs to consider what would be the average payout: with probability 1/2, the player wins 2 dollars; with
probability 1/4 the player wins 4 dollars; with probability 1/8 the player wins 8 dollars, and so on. The expected value is thus

They developed the axioms underlying utility theory, in a synthesis of economics and
probability, as Utility functions :
Independence of different utility functions (associated with the fact that utility functions are
random variables).
Completeness all outcomes are assigned a utility.
Transitivity if A is preferred to B, and B is preferred to C, then A is preferred to C.
Continuity of utility (if wealth is continuous).
However, the basic attribute of a utility function is that it an increasing function, everyone
would value more money over less money, so:
0)(' xu
. The fact that 0)(' xu means that there is non-satiation, i.e. the agent never becomes
completely satisfied and will always prefer more to less. In the example of the beggar and the
millionaire, we can see that as wealth increases, each additional £1 has a lower perceived
value. This is not surprising and is known as decreasing marginal utility, that is
0')'( xu
Expected utility theory The classical resolution of the paradox involved the explicit introduction of a utility function , an
expected utility hypothesis an and the presumption of diminishing marginal utility of money. In Daniel Bernoulli's own words:
The determination of the value of an item must not be based on the price, but rather on the utility it yields…. There is no doubt
that a gain of one thousand ducats is more significant to the pauper than to a rich man though both gain the same amount. A
common utility model, suggested by Bernoulli himself, is the logarithmic fumction U(w) = ln(w) (known as”log utility”) It is a
function of the gambler’s total wealth w, and the concept of diminishing marginal utility of money is built into it. The expected
utility hypothesis posits that a utility function exists whose expected net change is a good criterion for real people's behavior.
For each possible event, the change in utility ln(wealth after the event) - ln(wealth before the event) will be weighted by the
probability of that event occurring. Let c be the cost charged to enter the game. The expected utility of the lottery now
converges to a finite value:

Brief description
WHAT'S NEW?
Does the idea make a significant,
value-added contribution to
current thinking? Scope tends to
reflect the level of theorizing
(general versus middle level),
while degree reflects the
radicalness of the proposal
The idea makes a significant value-added contribution to
current thinking, due to its suggested thinking
construction: It transfers the 2pole bargain into a 3-pole
bargain, with the Community as the third part So thus
the Community (the “C” factor) is included in the "new"
bargaining’s construction
So WHAT?
Will the theory likely change
the practice of organizational science
in this area? Are linkages to research
evident (either explicitly laid out, or
easily, reliably deduced)?
WHY SO?
Are the underlying logic and
supporting evidence compelling? Are
the author's assumptions explicit? Are
the author's views believable?
WELL DONE?
Does the idea reflect sea-
soned thinking, conveying
completeness and thoroughness? Are
multiple theoretical elements (What,
How, Why, When-Where-Who)
covered? Do the arguments reflect a
broad, current understanding of the
subject? If propositions are included,
are they used properly? Does the argu-
ment have any glaring logical flaws?
Done WELL? Is the idea well written? Does
it flow logically? Are the central ideas
easily accessed? Is it enjoyable to
read? Is the idea long enough to cover
the subject but short enough to be
interesting?
WHY NOW? Is this topic of contemporary
interest to scholars in this area? Will it
likely advance current discussions,
stimulate new discussions, or revitalize
old discussions?

SUGGESTION /CONTRIBUTION
Let me say that this paper meets the above necessity, suggesting a new methodological tool
helping to create “new” forms of thinking as well as new forms of human behavior, thus
helping in social conflict solution
Particularly, I tried to identify the "win-win-win" as a key tool for the approach to social
welfare by clicking on the incompatibility of five basic theorems that define it - each one of its
own side-either positive (justice theorem ) or negative (the impossibility theorem)
The suggested "win-win-win papakonstantinidis model”161,162 is built up on these
incompatibilities, in particular as regards the pairs" Pareto efficiency – Impossibility Theorem”
"paradox liberty (Amartya Sen) - Pareto Efficiency” , “Theorem of Justice –Pareto Efficiency”
and (the most important) “the Theorem of incompleteness-the Impossibility Theorem”
The win-win-win papakonstantinidis model is a methodological tool for conflict resolution,
especially in the case of decision making, or in forming "instant reflection winning strategies"
in the BARGAIN (which is the frame) The “win-win-win papakonstantinidis model” concerns
the strategic decision making in a number of fields and domains (biology, psychology,
management, marketing, history- especially in interpretation of historic events-laography,
ethnology, anthropogeography, philosophy, economy, sociology, pure math, communication,
public speech, diplomacy, and go on The reason so many regards thinking and research
fields lies in the very nature of the model, especially in its triple pole perception, which leads
us to see things from another, alternative approach, the triple view, whether in psychology or
interpretation of historical events or diplomacy, or communication, or MANAGEMENT
Special regard is given to regional and local development field both as a regional and social
sciences. It proves that building social capital at local level mainly depends on social trust
links among local people: Social cohesion based on social capital may be measured by the
diversification Rate (R *) from strict globalization rules: From this point of view, local people’s
intervention should be useful, so as to diversify these "rules" at local level adjusting them to
local identity, including communication code, customs, ethics, culture. The Win-win-win
methodology [Papakonstantinidis Model] should facilitate local people to "readjust" bargaining

spatial / cultural entity at its sensitization process' limit
The “win-win-win papakonstantinidis model” (2002, August, SW) may, thus, transform
individual winning –instant reflection –strategies (the win-win Nash Theory) in a NEW –three
poles-equilibrium point, including the COMMUNITY (Environmental Protection, Value Systems,
Ethic etc), which is the “absolute cooperation” limit point in the bargain between TWO
At least, “linguistic recursion” is been approached by the Pirahã linguistic idiom as a real
minimalist language, concerning the possibilities of “one-two-many” expression of people
remained isolated
APPLICATION:
The “P.A.C triple-pole circulation based on The Cournot-Theocharis Problem163
Reconsidered164
In 1959 Theocharis showed that with linear demand and constant marginal costs Cournot
equilibrium is destabilized when the competitors become more than three. With three
competitors the Cournot equilibrium point becomes neutrally stable, so, even then, any
perturbation throws the system into an endless oscillation. Theocharis's argument was in fact
proposed already in 1939 by Palander None of these authors considered the global dynamics
of the system, which necessarily becomes nonlinear when consideration is taken of the facts
that prices, supply quantities, and profits of active firms cannot be negative. In the present
paper we address the global dynamics.
APPLICATIONS: Rural Regions’ People-local Authorities-Consumers of R.T services (P.A.C)
CASE STUDY: The “People-Authorities-Consumers (PAC) triangular relations

Concluding,
the win-win-win papakonstantinidis model’s equilibrium does exist: It is when bargainers A,B
and the Community “C”, have equal probabilities to satisfy their needs|. The same conclusions

are resulted from any other scientific domain (history, psychology, sociology, economics,
management, marketing ….
Since the New-classical School of Thought in Economics focusing on the “bargaining
equilibrium” (Nash Equilibrium) and the equimarginal principle (consumer choice) have been
restarted” by the game theory (exactly: the “non cooperative game theory”) “it seems that the
bargaining behavior is in the centre of our research From this point of view, “bargaining
behavior” is in focus: Maintainig the “Bargening Behavior” in the centre of our research
According to our conjecture (see at the “rainbow concept”) what it needs the modern economy
is a new “restarting”, based on game theory and its extensions
Now, there are two problems to be solved:
1. We must distinguish between “cardinal” and “ordinal” utility
a. “Cardinal utility” (Jeremy Bentham) concerns the inter-personal comparisons, thus
leading in an “objective size” which can be measured; that means: "all people we
have the same needs, the same preferences…and the only one to distinguish
concerns only the “quantity” It says us that the “A” took more bananas from "B" as
the result of the bargaining and so it will be happier than "B" In practice, this is
not the case. The "A" may prefer apple banana or suspect any fruit while B derive
satisfaction from eating bananas or no satisfaction In practice, this is not the case.
The "A" may prefer apple banana or suspect any fruit while B derive satisfaction
from eating bananas or no satisfaction
b. “Ordinal utility” (West-type form- Kant and others) In practice, each of us creates
a personal "satisfaction level in satisfaction lader" which is not comparable with
that of other people only by chance (eg "ice cream" is high on the personal level of
satisfaction of many people .. or even what forms "massive made ones
preferences "imposed" by the media So, the ordinal personal utility is transferred ,
via media in “cardinal”
2. We should note that people have a diffent attitude in a bargain due to their
psychological situation: in a bargain 2 main people types are met: the reckless
investor and the “risk aversion man/woman” Their psychology define the end of any
bargain: Risk aversion people require more and more guaranties to come to an
agreement: “Bargain operates in favor of those risk aversion people
3. At any case, the suggested equilibrium could be a social welfare solution: In the case
of “cardinal utility” it of course satisfies its role: it suggests equal shares for all the 3-
bargain parties (33-33-33) In the case of ordinal utility it is used to restrict the
bargaining power of each of them and at the same time provides the Community (the
“others” ) with more power for two different orientations: (a) for its role as :agent” of
its citizens (the Principles) and as an arbitrator in a dispute between two bargainers

There are 2 main questions to be answered
1. Does the social welfair exist
2. If yes, then give the theoretical background
NOTE
A. MAIN QUESTION: How could the bargaining problem contribute to social welfare? How
can I find the "new" equilibrium point, concerned the utility of A,B? Bargaining
problem as a part of "negotiation procedure, has been analyzed by the "game non-
cooperative theory (Nash, 1950) But in my mind it should be more fair and social,
thus contributing in "welfare economics" How, can I approach this?
1. comparatively, in our current globalized era,different than 1950's, the elements of
Time, Space, and Size, could be helpful variables, to evaluate the condition of each
and every bargaining, in its own context. A qualitative narrative analysis could be a
useful instrument to go after anthropological, phylosophical, as well as socio-
psychological and socio-cultural aspect of the matter. - Faranack Nader Benz
2. I would just include preference for fairness and social welfare in payoffs. For example
A and B are bargaining and their payoffs are x and y. You can add psychological
preferences to the payoffs like this: X = x + f1 , where f1 is the satisfaction player A
[Type text]
papakonstantinidis Page 96
gets when the outcomes of the bargaining are fair and social. Do the same for Y. Then
just solve for the equilibrium according to Nash (1950). Arthur Tarasov ·
3. Maurice Allais, théorie générale des surplus PUG (Grenoble, France) exchange till every
agent is satisfied. Prices are not given by mathematical models. No hypothesis on
convexity. Dominique Bouf
B. Evidence suggests that a "win-win-win" approach through the process of
"sensitization" creates the basis for a strong socialization through jointly tackling
common problems of a place a "Community" (village, city, region, state) The common
goal at the local level ("flag theme" according to the European terminology) joint
individuals through “team psychology”, allowing everyone / each to freely express his
/ her personality through the common target (Amartya Sen collective choice)165 which
is the development of their own place
C. Is there any strong argument, by which the "win-win-win papakonstantinidis model"
should be defined in terms of the "Principal-Agent" Theory?
Prof Yevgen Bogodistov thinks that the discussion concerns mediators. A mediator is
a principal, or agent. The third party could be understood as a principal, if it had
some power over the first and the second party (giving orders, paying money, etc.).
On the other hand the third party is not an agent - it cannot obey to the will of each
of other parties. The third party, however, comes into play through an invitation by
main parties. In this moment the main parties legitimize it: they give certain power,
for example, to support the decision or to sign the final contract. So, my personal
opinion is that a third party is rather a partner (co-princal) to both of the main parties.
But you ask a very interesting question: 1. how are these relationships regulated?
Probably, by a kind of mutual/ formal/informal contract
2. How is the cognitive level of complex relationships? I completely agree with you
that the more complex the relationship the more "points of view" each party has to
assess. So yes, in triadic relationships 3ach party has to think about its actions, and
actions and perceptions of actions by each other involved party. And probably even
more:
1. Two dimensions - actions and perception of actions
2. Three parties (at least)
Your point is, however, crucial - at the time of information processing the parties
should switch different roles -partner, agent, principal. Plus perception of actions as
partner, agent, and principal I assume that all these tasks are made for each dyad.
But it is important to differentiate between acting as a principal/agent/partner and
thinking from the point of view (aka taking roles) of them. Acting is usually more
powerful in research, but perception has a great influence on actions and on
psychological states afterward (e.g. cognitive dissonance theory).

We have based this work on contradictions between theories themselves or /and theorems,
taking into considerretion the “Russell’s paradox”: it describes a barber who is defined such
that he both shaves himself and does not shave himself. The barber is the "one who shaves
all those, and those only, who do not shave themselves." The question is, does the barber
shave himself?
Answering this question results in a contradiction. The barber cannot shave himself as he only
shaves those who do not shave themselves. As such, if he shaves himself he ceases to be a
barber. If the barber does not shave himself then he fits into the group of people who would
be shaved by the barber (and, so, as the barber he needs to shave himself)
“That contradiction [Russell's paradox] is extremely interesting. You can modify its form; some
forms of modification are valid and some are not. I once had a form suggested to me which
was not valid, namely the question whether the barber shaves himself or not. You can define
the barber as "one who shaves all those, and those only, who do not shave themselves." The
question is, does the barber shave himself? In this form the contradiction is not very difficult
to solve. But in our previous form I think it is clear that you can only get around it by
observing that the whole question whether a class is or is not a member of itself is nonsense,
i.e. that no class either is or is not a member of itself, and that it is not even true to say that,
because the whole form of words is just noise without meaning.”(Bertrand Russell,”The
Philosophy of Logical Atomism)166
In that frame, the question, now, is if “possible contradictions” should be examined inside or
outside the problem
There is an important difference between “being inside the problem”, from one and observing
and studying the problem, from the other:
In the second case we obtain a“mirror's cognition” as the graph below
166 Bertrand Russell (1872–1970) The term was first coined in a 1911 essay by Russell entitled "The Basis of Realism." However, it became widely known only when Russell gave a series of lectures in 1918 entitled "The Philosophy of Logical Atomism". Russell was much influenced by Ludwig Wittgenstein, as an introductory note explicitly acknowledges.

You can see that the “candle flame” in the mirror perception (apparent source) is the opposite
from the light source
“Some attempted formalizations of thenaive set theory created by Georg Cantor led to a
contradiction” According to naive set theory, any definable collection is a set. Let R be the set
of all sets that are not members of themselves. If R is not a member of itself, then its
definition dictates that it must contain itself, and if it contains itself, then it contradicts its
own definition as the set of all sets that are not members of themselves. This contradiction is
Russell's paradox.
Symbolically:
Having a good starting point, the next step is to find and defined these theoretical
contradictions that concerne the "social welfare" and/or the policy planning's resulted
We have now to approach these contradictions, which will be analyzed in the Chapters II and III
To manipulate with Incompatibilities:
1. The impossibility theorem (1951 Kenneth Arrow: book: Social Choice and Individual
Values, as well as the Amartya Sen “liberal paradox”

3. the Rawls Theorem on Justice, 1958)- the veil of ignorance
4. the Nash Equilibrium in Nash “Non cooperative Game Theory 1951(annals of

5. The “Pareto optimality in a 3D space according to
6. Caratheodory conjecture (umbilical points in a sphere), then the main issue in this
research concerns the possibility that a win-win-win communication should exist in
real terms,
7. The agency theory (Stiglitz Joseph 2001) An agency, in general terms, is the
relationship between two parties, where one is a principal and the other is an agent
who represents the principal in transactions with a third party as each of them to win :

8. the ZBC set theory (a selection of objectives)
9. the cognition by linguistic recursion (EVARETT mind recursion (one-many): Human

The study aims to highlight the existence and importance of a tri-polar process approach of
scientific and practice - everyday thinking For this purpose develops individual objectives
which reaches through the "thought experiment": In spite of the perception that the test
applies only to materials organic elements, the "thought experiment" adopted in this study
appears to have visible effects on application Thought experiment is adopted by the follow
means:
“The common goal of a thought experiment is to explore the potential consequences of the
principle in question: "A thought experiment is a device with which one performs an

antecedent (or consequent)" (Bowers PM, Cokus SJ, Eisenberg D, Yeate 2004) p. 150)167.The
study goes on by Implicative lattice
We expect that this work is well laid out and logical methodology will provide a great
backbone for the entire research paper, allowed to us build an extremely strong results
section Having some –selective- influences from the Ancient Greek Philosophy (Socrates, Plato,
Aristotle Epicurus), as well as philosophies of the Enlightenment168 and the “Age of Reason”
(such as Locke, Hobbes, Hume Kant & alle)169 as well as from modern rationalist philosophy,
this work combines an empiricist approach with a rationalism that emphasized conceptual
clarity and deductive argument. In this frame the Socratic dialectic method has been adopted
in this work:
o First the prevailing view (thesis) is presented and defined.
o Then this thesis is criticized (antithesis), by the ontological arguments
o Finally, these two opposite perceptions are merged in a unique construction
(synthesis)
o NOTE: [any triple-pole conception, either the essential or methodological approach
has been adopted by this article]
According to the prime objective of the Study (feasibility of social welfare even under capitalist
production and marketing system) and the three main pillars of the methodology adopted by
it, definitions of five theorems and 4 theories are recognized, as domains of "positive
acceptance” (thesis, in ancient Greek philosophy)
The same definitions are examined under a critical view (antithesis) thus leading in their
rejection
Finally, a third completely new aspect (synthesis) raised -I hope- as a result of the merger of
two previous positions / views

alternative methodological choices, methods from the classic David Hume’s scientific work, as

Science Dec 2004. 306(5705):2246-9 168 Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy: The Enlightenment is the period in the history of western thought and culture, stretching roughly from the mid-decades of the seventeenth century through the eighteenth century, characterized by dramatic revolutions in science, philosophy, society and politics; these revolutions swept away the medieval world-view and ushered in our modern western world. Enlightenment thought culminates historically in the political upheaval of the French Revolution, in which the traditional hierarchical political and social orders (the French monarchy, the privileges of the French nobility, the political power and authority of the Catholic Church) were violently destroyed and replaced by a political and social order informed by the Enlightenment ideals of freedom and equality for all, founded, ostensibly, upon principles of human reason. The Enlightenment begins with the scientific revolution of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The rise of the new science progressively undermines not only the ancient geocentric conception of the cosmos, but, with it, the entire set of presuppositions that had served to constrain and guide philosophical inquiry. 169 Voltaire Nicolaus Copernicus (19 February 1473 – 24 May 1543), Tycho Brahe (b. 1546-1601) Johannes Kepler (b 1571 –

so that other researchers can review the results by replicating the research and guaranteeing
the validity. By this necessity a completely accurate description of the equipment and the
techniques used for gathering the data have been planned and executed, providing at the
same time an explanation of how the raw data was compiled and analyzed. The followed
methodology allows the readers to make their own decision about the validity of the data, thus

quality of the results
Behavior’s Assumptions
1. Any decision making may be considered as the output of the behavioral trends in any
bargain, between two (2) (Papakonstantinidis, 2007)173.
2. Public involvement –especially in the development strategy /or/planning is achieved
by five (5) easy stages (steps), i.e information, sensitization, participation, involvement
and partnership, in its main version (Arnstein, 1969)174 This process influences the
behavior in the bargain.
3. There is interaction between behavior and bargain. There is no bargain without
behavior. There is no behavior without bargain (Papakonstantinidis, 2011)175
4. Each of the three poles behavioral interacts with other within the bargain and during
the bargain
5. All individuals are indifferent between any two probability distributions over social
states -Pareto efficiency (Pareto, 1916176; Stiglitz, 1987)177.

6. Conversion of a given behavior could be realized by using the same conflict rules that
push the PAC members in converging their behavior (Reynolds, 1999)178 In fact it is a NEW
behavior toward the absolute cooperation.
7. Conditions of Conflict behavior are developed in the frame of the "Instrumental
Rationality” in an environment of Common Knowledge of Rationality179.
8. “Sensitization” as a form of knowledge/information should be taught, thus influencing

9. Behavioral analysis should be broached in close correlation with the suggested “win-
win-win papakonstantinidis model” and its usefulness in respect to local communities’
management and development (Herbert Simon 1955)181,
Starting from the “zero sum two players game” (John von Neumann- Oscar Morgenstern
1944)182 in the form of “win- lose” at any bargain, then was the John Forbs Nash who made
the difference, letting in both bargainers to win (win-win) But, for another time this bargain
was rather to the side of the winners (due to their bargaining force) than eliminating social
inequalities (the winner takes it all)
With this aim an hypothetical dipole bargain between 2 bargainers (*A,B) converted into 3-
pole by introducing the "Community" (the village, the town, the inhabitants of a country, a
continent, planet, after all) as a third pole in any bargain (win-win-win)
So the concept is to construct a theoretical-original-model so that it should respond better to
the conditions of "social welfare"
With this aim an hypothetical triple-pole bargain between 2 (A and B and the "Community"
included as the third pole) is a basis for scientific dialogue By the tem “Community” we can

negotiation It is about a "win-win-win" concept which is now the global requirement For
example, the first concrete example has to do with environmental protection Climate change
leaves no room to 2 competitors without considering the entire rest of the world Each
negotiation between 2 concerns the entire planet The how achieved in practice I think it can be
done with Laws, as long as there is the political will of Another Dimension It has to do with the
war see the two superpowers to compete by focusing on the war in the Middle East (Syria and
Iraq) But the agreement or disagreement affects millions of people in the two countries who
come as refugees to Europe
The recognition of the third pole in our daily life is connected with its social necessity
Without any imposition by dictatorial regimes, the 3-pole approach to bargaining, is necessary
and unavoidable if and only if humankind seeks survival solutions
In a “win-win-win” negotiation there is more possibility of achieving social welfare: This can
be proved by the math example below
On the other side we have 5 basic foundational and global known Theorems which are
incompatible So the concept here was to put them one against the other and seek "material" to
build the new
For example, the Incompleteness Theorem (Gödel) fades the Impossibility Theorem (K. Arrow)
and the Pareto Efficiency is basic for the Impossibility Theorem, but not for the “Justice
theorem (Rawls) But from these incompatibilities arises a necessity of completeness,
effectiveness, universal justice, a necessity of "umbilical points" freedom , economic
equilibrium The synthesis of all these lead to a situation utopia (romantic, idealistic) will
certainly not get, but from the other shows us a path of self-preservation and survival if the
goal is not suicidal
Besides, the proposed “win-win-win situation” has to face the market’s “information
asymmetry” and the “principal–agent problem” (also known as agency dilemma or theory of
agency) For this, the article lays out the “principal-agent problem” in order to make an wide
estimation on relation between "individual" and social (Community) interests Furthermore, he

5. GENERAL NOTE: As it is known, that is the very basic structure of writing
methodology, and it will clarify all of the information, clear and direct, concise and
straight to the point
David Hume and Jeremy Bentham saw in him a model of one who emphasized the importance
of reason over custom and tradition and who insisted on precision in the use of terms. Hume's
influence was not so much on Bentham's method as on his account of the underlying
principles of psychological associationism and on his articulation of the principle of utility,
which was then still often annexed to theological views.
Bentham's analytical and empirical method is especially obvious when one looks at some of
his main criticisms of the law and of moral and political discourse in general. His principal
target was the presence of "fictions"—in particular, legal fictions. On his view, to consider any
part or aspect of a thing in abstraction from that thing is to run the risk of confusion or to
cause positive deceit. While, in some cases, such "fictional" terms as "relation," "right,"
"power," and "possession" were of some use, in many cases their original warrant had been
forgotten, so that they survived as the product of either prejudice or inattention. In those
cases where the terms could be "cashed out" in terms of the properties of real things, they
could continue to be used, but otherwise they were to be abandoned. Still, Bentham hoped to
eliminate legal fictions as far as possible from the law, including the legal fiction that there
was some original contract that explained why there was any law at all. He thought that, at the
very least, clarifications and justifications could be given that avoided the use of such terms.
For Bentham, morals and legislation can be described scientifically, but such a description
requires an account of human nature. Just as nature is explained through reference to the laws
of physics, so human behavior can be explained by reference to the two primary motives of
pleasure and pain; this is the theory of psychological hedonism. Bentham's analytical and
empirical method is especially obvious when one looks at some of his main criticisms of the
law and of moral and political discourse in general. His principal target was the presence of
"fictions"—in particular, legal fictions. On his view, to consider any part or aspect of a thing in
abstraction from that thing is to run the risk of confusion or to cause positive deceit. While, in
[Type text]

some cases, such "fictional" terms as "relation," "right," "power," and "possession" were of
some use, in many cases their original warrant had been forgotten, so that they survived as
the product of either prejudice or inattention. In those cases where the terms could be "cashed
out" in terms of the properties of real things, they could continue to be used, but otherwise
they were to be abandoned. Still, Bentham hoped to eliminate legal fictions as far as possible
from the law, including the legal fiction that there was some original contract that explained
why there was any law at all. He thought that, at the very least, clarifications and justifications
could be given that avoided the use of such terms.
Finally, “synthesis” of that diametric opposite conceptions leads in the "new" (synthesis) that
results from their merge
Dialectic –that Socrates first taught-is the most famous methodological form, in modern
times: Hegel has adopted the Socratic dialectic and diffuses this in the “west” and from then
in the world: Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831)184 was a holdover of Socrates in the
years of European Enlightenment, as adopted and extended the “dialectic” as a scientific
methodological tool
Hegel’s primary object185 in his dialectic is to establish the existence of a logical connection
between the various categories which are involved in the constitution of experience. He
teaches that this connection is of such a kind that any category, if scrutinized with sufficient
care and attention, is found to lead on to another, and to involve it, in such a manner that an
attempt to use the first of any subject while we refuse to use the second of the same subject
results in a contradiction. The category thus reached leads on in a similar way to a third, and
the process continues until at last we reach the goal of the dialectic in a category which
betrays no instability. If we examine the process in more detail, we shall find that it advances,
not directly, but by moving from side to side, like a ship tacking against an unfavorable wind.
The simplest and best known form of this advance, as it is to be found in the earlier
transitions of the logic, is as follows. The examination of a certain category leads us to the
conclusion that, if we predicate it of any subject, we are compelled by consistency to predicate
of the same subject the contrary of that category. This brings us to an absurdity, since the
predication of two contrary attributes of the same thing at the same time violates the law of
contradiction. On examining the two contrary predicates further, they are seen to be capable
of reconciliation in a higher category, which combines the contents of both of them, not
merely placed side by side; but absorbed into a wider idea, as moments or aspects of which
they can exist without contradiction. This idea of the synthesis of opposites is perhaps the
most characteristic in the whole of Hegel’s system. It is certainly one of the most Studies in

the Hegelian Dialectic186 difficult to explain. Indeed the only way of grasping what Hegel
meant by it is to observe in detail how he uses it, and in what manner the lower categories are
partly altered and partly preserved in the higher one, so that, while their opposition vanishes,
the significance of both is nevertheless to be found in the unity which follows. Since in this
way, and in this way only so far as we can see, two contrary categories can be simultaneously
true of a subject, and since we must hold these two to be simultaneously true, we arrive at the
conclusion that whenever we use the first category we shall be forced on to use the third,
since by it alone can the contradictions be removed, in which we should otherwise be involved.
This third category, however, when it in its turn is viewed as a single unity, similarly discloses
that its predication involves that of its contrary, and the Thesis and Antithesis thus opposed
have again to be resolved in a Synthesis. Nor can we rest anywhere in this alternate production
and removal of contradictions until we reach the end of the ladder of categories. It begins with
the category of Pure Being, the simplest idea of the human mind. It ends with the category
which Hegel declares to be the highest— the Idea which recognizes itself in all things187
1. According to the main objective ….
In this framework, the “principal-agent problem” is analyzed in order to yield useful
conclusions to be used as a basis for analyzing the "win-win-win papakonstantinidis" general
equilibrium And this, because the "problem of principal-agent" is a unique event in which the
person is asked to think twice: one for himself and one for his principal, thus forming a series
of other problems caused by the theory markets with asymmetric information "which in turn
leads to “adverse selection” ( the principal side) or to "moral hazard"(the agent side), due to
the “asymmetric information in the market It's with Stiglitz188, though, that information
asymmetry has reached mainstream acclaim, using a theory of market screening189, Through
Stiglitz's work, asymmetric information was placed into contained general equilibrium models
to describe negative externalities that price out the bottom of markets. For instance, the
uncertain health insurance premium needed for high-risk individuals causes all premiums to
rise, forcing low-risk individuals away from their preferred insurance policies.
2,1 AGENCY THEORY
In economic agency190, the problem is one of selecting a compensation system that will
produce behavior by the agent consistent with the principal’s preferences. Thus the focus is
on the nature of the incentive system and the contracting system that guides the distribution

of those incentives, as well as the conditions of risk and information that condition the choices
of the actors191.
Origin of the Theory of Agency the pre-history
1. The first scholars to propose, explicitly, that a theory of agency be created, and to actually begin
its creation, were Stephen Ross and Barry Mitnick, independently and roughly concurrently.
2. Ross is responsible for the origin of the economic theory of agency, and Mitnick for the
institutional theory of agency, though the basic concepts underlying these approaches are
similar. Indeed, the approaches can be seen as complementary in their uses of similar concepts
under different assumptions. In short, Ross introduced the study of agency in terms of problems
of compensation contracting; agency was seen, in essence, as an incentives problem.
3. Mitnick introduced the now common insight that institutions form around agency, and evolve to
deal with agency, in response to the essential imperfection of agency relationships: Behavior
never occurs as it is preferred by the principal because it does not pay to make it perfect. But
society creates institutions that attend to these imperfections, managing or buffering them,
adapting to them, or becoming chronically distorted by them. Thus, to fully understand agency,
we need both streams -- to see the incentives as well as the institutional structures.

Propositional calculus (also called propositional logic, sentential calculus, or sentential logic) is the branch of mathematical
logic concerned with the study of propositions (whether they are true or false) that are formed by other propositions with the use of logical connectives, and how their value depends on the truth value of their components. Logical connectives are found in natural languages. In English for example, some examples are "and" (conjunction), "or" (disjunction), "not” (negation) and "if" (but only when used to denote material conditional).

Example:
2. Idempotence is the property of certain operations in mathematics and computer
science,that can be applied multiple times without changing the result beyond the
initial application. The concept of idempotence arises in a number of places in
abstract algebra (in particular, in the theory of projectors and closure operators) and
functional programming (in which it is connected to the property of referential
transparency). The term was introduced by Benjamin Peirce in the context of elements
of algebras that remain invariant when raised to a positive integer power, and literally
means "(the quality of having) the same power", from idem + potence (same + power).
There are several meanings of idempotence, depending on what the concept is
applied to: A unary operation (or function) is idempotent if, whenever it is applied
twice to any value, it gives the same result as if it were applied once; i.e., ƒ(ƒ(x)) ≡ ƒ(x).
For example, the absolute value function, where abs(abs(x)) ≡ abs(x).
Given a binary operation, an idempotent element (or simply an "idempotent") for the operation
is a value for which the operation, when given that value for both of its operands, gives that
value as the result. For example, the number 1 is an idempotent of multiplication: 1 × 1 = 1.
A binary operation is called idempotent if all elements are idempotent elements with respect
to the operation. In other words, whenever it is applied to two equal values, it gives that value
as the result. For example, the function giving the maximum value of two equal values is
idempotent: max (x, x)
3. In mathematics, a binary operation is commutative if changing the order of the
operands does not change the result. It is a fundamental property of many binary
operations, and many mathematical proofs depend on it. Most familiar as the name of
the property that says "3 + 4 = 4 + 3" or "2 × 5 = 5 × 2", the property can also be
used in more advanced settings
4. Distributive: The distributive property tells us how to solve equations in the form of
a(b + c) The distributive property is sometimes called the distributive law of
multiplication and division. In abstract algebra and formal logic, the distributive
property of binary operations generalizes the distributive law from elementary

algebra. In propositional logic, distribution refers to two valid rules of replacement.
The rules allow one to reformulate conjunctions and disjunctions within logical proofs

I can understand this one. AA union nothing is still AA. In the same way
that 1+01+0 is still 11.
However, it goes on to say:

6. In set theory, a complement of a set A refers to things not in (that is, things outside
of) A. The relative complement of A with respect to a set B is the set of elements in B
but not in A. When all sets under consideration are considered to be subsets of a
given set U, the absolute complement of A is the set of all elements in U but not in A.

Pareto Optimality (1906)196
Essentially, Pareto optimality describes a state of affairs in which resources are distributed such that it is
not possible to improve a single individual without also causing at least one other individual to become
worse off than before the change. It provides those studying economics with a certain perspective and
criteria for judging the efficiency of a distribution system. Additionally, this way of looking at economic
efficiency and income distribution helped Pareto and other contemporary economists develop
microeconomics as a field and discipline of study. Related to the idea of Pareto optimality is that of a
Pareto improvement.
A Pareto improvement is a term used when looking at a distribution of goods within a system from the
perspective of Pareto optimality.
A Pareto improvement is said to have taken place if a change is made in the distribution of goods or
resources that results in at least one individual being better off than before the change while not making
any other individual worse.

Another way of describing Pareto optimality is to describe any state as Pareto optimal when no Pareto
improvement is possible. This effectively means that it is impossible to improve the condition of any
single individual without harming the condition of another individual.

generally, of asymmetric relations between discrete objects. Network theory is a part of graph theory It

Suppose we have a population of agents of two kinds: 'aggressive' (A) and 'cooperative' (C). Their
dynamics might be described by this reaction network: People use ‘network theory’ to mean the study of
large graphs, and how they change with time.
This is from a paper on the “network of global corporate control” which analyzed ownership links between 600,000 companies.
Reaction networks are also implicit in evolutionary game theory, a topic important in biology and
economics. For example, suppose we have a population of agents of two kinds: ‘aggressive’ (A) and
‘cooperative’ (C). Their dynamics might be described by this reaction network:

The idea is that aggressive agents sometimes destroy the agents they meet, while cooperative ones

History
Euler's solution of the “The Seven Bridges of Königsberg problem”202 is considered to be the first true
proof in the theory of networks First, Euler pointed out that the choice of route inside each land mass is
irrelevant. The only important feature of a route is the sequence of bridges crossed. This allowed him to
reformulate the problem in abstract terms (laying the foundations of graph theory), eliminating all
features except the list of land masses and the bridges connecting them. In modern terms, one replaces
each land mass with an abstract "vertex" or node, and each bridge with an abstract connection, an "edge”
which only serves to record which pair of vertices (land masses) is connected by that bridge. The resulting
mathematical structure is called a graph. Next, Euler observed that (except at the endpoints of the walk),
whenever one enters a vertex by a bridge, one leaves the vertex by a bridge. In other words, during any
walk in the graph, the number of times one enters a non-terminal vertex equals the number of times one

202The Seven Bridges of Königsberg is a historically notable problem in mathematics. Its negative resolution by Leonard Euler in
1736 laid the foundations of GRAPG THEORY and prefigured the idea of topology The city of The Seven Bridges of
Königsbergin Prussia (now, Kalinegrad Russia ) was set on both sides of the Pregel River, and included two large islands which
were connected to each other and the mainland by seven bridges. The problem was to devise a walk through the city that
would cross each bridge once and only once, with the provisos that: the islands could only be reached by the bridges and every
bridge once accessed must be crossed to its other end. The starting and ending points of the walk need not be the same. The
difficulty was the development of a technique of analysis and of subsequent tests that established this assertion with
mathematical rigor.

leaves it. Now, if every bridge has been traversed exactly once, it follows that, for each land mass (except
for the ones chosen for the start and finish), the number of bridges touching that land mass must
be even203 (half of them, in the particular traversal, will be traversed "toward" the landmass; the other half,
"away" from it). However, all four of the land masses in the original problem are touched by an odd
number of bridges (one is touched by 5 bridges, and each of the other three is touched by 3). Since, at
most, two land masses can serve as the endpoints of a putative walk, the proposition of a walk traversing
each bridge once leads to a contradiction. In modern language, Euler shows that the possibility of a walk
through a graph, traversing each edge exactly once, depends on the degrees of the nodes. The degree of
a node is the number of edges touching it. Euler's argument shows that a necessary condition for the walk
of the desired form is that the graph be connected and have exactly zero or two nodes of odd degree.
Besides, we take into consideration the use of some tools from network theory to describe the strategy of
football teams204. Using passing data made available by FIFA during the 2010 World Cup, we construct for
each team a weighted and directed network in which nodes correspond to players and arrows to passes.
The resulting network or graph provides a direct visual inspection of a team’s strategy, from which we can
identify play pattern, determine hot-spots on the play and localize potential weaknesses. Using different
centrality measures, we can also determine the relative importance of each player in the game, the
‘popularity’ of a player, and the effect of removing players from the game.

Social Network analysis
Visualization of social network analysis:
Social Network Analysis examines the structure of relationships between social entities. These entities are
often persons, but may also be groups, organizations, nation states, web sites, scholarly publications
Since the 1970s, the empirical study of networks has played a central role in social science, and many of
the mathematical and statistical tools used for studying networks have been first developed in sociology
Amongst many other applications, social network analysis has been used to understand the diffusion of
innovations, news and rumors. Similarly, it has been used to examine the spread of both diseases
and health-related behaviors. It has also been applied to the study of markets, where it has been used to
examine the role of trust in exchange relationships and of social mechanisms in setting prices. Similarly, it
has been used to study recruitment into political movements and social organizations. It has also been
used to conceptualize scientific disagreements as well as academic prestige. More recently, network
analysis (and its close cousin traffic analysis) has gained a significant use in military intelligence, for
uncovering insurgent networks of both hierarchical and leaderless nature.
Centrality measures: Information about the relative importance of nodes and edges in a graph can be
obtained through centrality measures, widely used in disciplines like sociology For example eigenvector
centrality uses the eigenvectors of the adjacency matrix corresponding to a network, to determine nodes
that tend to be frequently visited. Formally established measures of centrality are degree centrality, sub-
graph centrality closeness centrality, betweenness centrality, eigenvectors centrality, The purpose or
[Type text]
papakonstantinidis Page 117
objective of analysis generally determines the type of centrality measure to be used. For example, if one is
interested in dynamics on networks or the robustness of a network to node/link removal, often the
dynamical importance of a node is the most relevant centrality measure.
Network optimization
Network problems that involve finding an optimal way of doing something are studied under the name
combinatorial optimization. Examples include network flow, shortest path problem, transport problem,
transshipment problem, location problem, matching problem, assignment problem, packing problem,

Euler approached this problem by collapsing areas of land separated by the river into points, which he
labeled with capital letters. Modern graph theorists call these vertices, and have gone on to represent
them and bridges graphically.
For Konigsberg, let us represent land with red dots and bridges with black curves, or arcs:
Thus, in its stripped down version, the seven bridges problem looks like this:
The problem now becomes one of drawing this picture without retracing any line and without picking your
pencil up off the paper. Consider this: all four of the vertices in the above picture have an odd number of
arcs connected to them. Take one of these vertices205, say one of the ones with three arcs connected to it.
Say you're going along, trying to trace the above figure out without picking up your pencil. The first time
you get to this vertex, you can leave by another arc. But the next time you arrive, you can't. So you'd
better be through drawing the figure when you get there! Alternatively, you could start at that vertex, and
then arrive and leave later. But then you can't come back. Thus every vertex with an odd number of arcs
attached to it has to be either the beginning or the end of your pencil-path. So you can only have up to
two 'odd' vertices! Thus it is impossible to draw the above picture in one pencil stroke without retracing.
The Generalization to Graph Theory: Euler went on to generalize this mode of thinking, laying a
foundation for graph theory. Using modern vocabulary, we make the following definitions and prove a
theorem:
Definition: A network is a figure made up of points (vertices) connected by non-intersecting curves (arcs).

Definition: A vertex is called odd if it has an odd number of arcs leading to it, otherwise it is called even.
Definition: An Euler path206 is a continuous path that passes through every arc once and only once.
Theorem: If a network has more than two odd vertices, it does not have an Euler path.
Euler also proved this:
Theorem: If a network has two or zero odd vertices, it has at least one Euler path. In particular, if a
network has exactly two odd vertices, then its Euler paths can only start on one of the odd vertices, and
end on the other.
Euler stated the rules in two theorems:
Euler's Theorem 1
o If a graph has any verticies of odd degree, then it cannot have an Euler Circuit.
o If a graph has all even verticies, then it has at least one Euler Circuit - usually more.
Euler's Theorem 2
If a graph has more than 2 verticies of odd degree, then if cannot have an Euler Path, and
If a graph is connected and has exactley 2 verticies of odd degree, then it has at least one Euler path. This
path must start at one of the odd-degree vertecies and end at the other.
Eulerian Path
The Königsberg Bridges graph. This graph is not Eulerian, therefore, a solution does not exist.
Every vertex of this graph has an even degree therefore this is an Eulerian graph. Following the edges in
alphabetical order gives an Eulerian circuit/cycle.

In graph theory, an Eulerian trail (or Eulerian path) is a trail in a graph which visits everyedge exactly once.
Similarly, an Eulerian circuit or Eulerian cycle is an Eulerian trail which starts and ends on the same vertex.
They were first discussed by Leonhard Euler while solving the famous Seven Bridges of Königsberg
problem in 1736. Mathematically the problem can be stated like this:
Given the graph in the image, is it possible to construct a path (or a cycle, i.e. a path starting and ending
on the same vertex) which visits each edge exactly once?
Euler proved that a necessary condition for the existence of Eulerian circuits is that all vertices in the
graph have an even degree, and stated without proof that connected graphs with all vertices of even
degree have an Eulerian circuit. The first complete proof 207of this latter claim was published
posthumously in 1873 by Carl Hierholzer208
The term Eulerian graph has two common meanings in graph theory. One meaning is a graph with an
Eulerian circuit, and the other is a graph with every vertex of even degree. These definitions coincide for
connected graphs
For the existence of Eulerian trails it is necessary that zero or two vertices have an odd degree; this means
the Königsberg graph is not Eulerian. If there are no vertices of odd degree, all Eulerian trails are circuits.
If there are exactly two vertices of odd degree, all Eulerian trails start at one of them and end at the other.
A graph that has an Eulerian trail but not an Eulerian circuit is called semi-Eulerian.
An Eulerian trail or Euler walk in an undirected graph is a walk that uses each edge exactly once. If such a
walk exists, the graph is called traversable or semi-Eulerian
207 N. L. Biggs, E. K. Lloyd and R. J(1976). Wilson, Graph Theory 1736–1936, Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1976, 8–9 208 Hierholzer Carl -Chr. Wiener (1873). "Ueber die Möglichkeit, einen Linienzug ohne Wiederholung und ohne Unterbrechung zu umfahren". Mathematische Annalen (in German) 6: 30–32 proved that a graph has an Eulerian cycle if and only if it is connected and every vertex has an even degree (excluding the starting and terminal vertices). This result had been given, without proof, by Leonhard Euler in 1736. Hierholzer apparently explained his proof, just before his premature death in 1871, to a colleague who then arranged for its posthumous publication which appeared in 1873

An Eulerian cycle Eulerian circuit or Euler tour in an undirected graph is a cycle that uses each edge
exactly once. If such a cycle exists, the graph is called Eulerian or unicursal The term "Eulerian graph" is
also sometimes used in a weaker sense to denote a graph where every vertex has even degree. For finite
connected graphs the two definitions are equivalent, while a possibly unconnected graph is Eulerian in the
weaker sense if and only if each connected component has an Eulerian cycle.
For directed graphs, "path" has to be replaced with directed path and "cycle" with directed cycle.
The definition and properties of Eulerian trails, cycles and graphs are valid for multi-graphs as well.
An Eulerian orientation of an undirected graph G is an assignment of a direction to each edge of G such
that, at each vertex v, the indegree of v equals the out degree of v. Such an orientation exists for any
undirected graph in which every vertex has even degree, and may be found by constructing an Euler tour
in each connected component of G and then orienting the edges according to the tour Every Eulerian
orientation of a connected graph is a strong orientation, an orientation that makes the resulting directed
graph strongly connected. Properties: An undirected graph has an Eulerian cycle if and only if every vertex
has even degree, and all of its vertices with nonzero degree belong to a single connected component.
An undirected graph can be decomposed into edge-disjoint cycles if and only if all of its vertices have
even degree. So, a graph has an Eulerian cycle if and only if it can be decomposed into edge-disjoint
cycles and its nonzero-degree vertices belong to a single connected component.
An undirected graph has an Eulerian trail if and only if exactly two vertices have odd degree, and if all of
its vertices with nonzero degree belong to a single connected component.
A directed graph has an Eulerian cycle if and only if every vertex has equal in degree and out degree, and
all of its vertices with nonzero degree belong to a single strongly connected component. Equivalently, a
directed graph has an Eulerian cycle if and only if it can be decomposed into edge-disjoint directed cycles
and all of its vertices with nonzero degree belong to a single strongly connected component.
A directed graph has an Eulerian trail if and only if at most one vertex has (out-degree) − (in-degree) = 1,
at most one vertex has (in-degree) − (out-degree) = 1, every other vertex has equal in-degree and out-
degree, and all of its vertices with nonzero degree belong to a single connected component of the
underlying undirected graph.

SOCCER
Using network theory to analyze the performance of soccer teams and players produces unique insights
into the strategy of the world’s best team All renowned football teams in history have displayed a
recognizable footprint in their game-play, which has always been thought of as something observed by
football experts rather than described by game statistics. To reveal this footprint, we use the passing
distribution of a team to construct a weighted and oriented network, with nodes corresponding to players
and weighted arrows to the number of successful passes between players. By attaching each node to the
tactical positioning of the team, we then obtain an immediate picture of the team’s style, which can
profitably be used to observe overused and underused areas of the pitch or to detect potential
performance problems between certain players. By computing certain network invariants, such as
centrality measures, we can also analyze a team’s performance as well as the contributions of each of its
players. These measures yield, as will be seen, a lot of useful information despite the relatively small size
(11 players) of passing networks
The case of Spain: Special case: World Cup 2010 South Africa Final: Spain – Netherlands (1-0)
Spain’s third major championship in a row, confirms the team as the best in the world and one of the
greatest in history. So what makes Spain so good? Fans, pundits and sports journalists all point to Spain’s
famous strategy of accurate quick-fire passing, known as the tiki-taka style210. It’s easy to spot and
fabulous to watch, as the game on Sunday proved. But it’s much harder to describe and define. That
looks set to change. Today, Javier Lopez Pena at University College London and Hugo Touchette at Queen
Mary University of London reveal an entirely new way to analyze and characterize the performance of
soccer teams and players using network theory. They say their approach produces a quantifiable
representation of a team’s style, identifies key individuals and highlights potential weaknesses. Their idea
is to think of each player as a node in a network and each pass as an edge that connects nodes. They then
distribute the nodes in a way that reflects the playing position of each player on the pitch.
210 Davies, Jed C. (25 July 2012)."The tiki taka handbook" Liverpool F.C. (Liverpool) Tiki-taka is a style of play in football characterised by short passing and movement, working the ball through various channels , and maintaining possession. The style is primarily associated with La Liga Club Barcelona from John Cruff’s tenure as manager Tiki-taka moves away from the traditional thinking of formations in football to a concept derived from zonal play

The image above shows the resulting networks for the Netherlands (left) and Spain using data from the
knockout stages of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. These teams contested the final which Spain
won211. A visual inspection of these networks immediately reveals some interesting insights into the
match. The thickness of the arrows represents the number of passes between nodes and it is immediately
clear that the Spanish team pass more often. This image captures 417 passes by the Spanish team versus
266 for the Netherlands. Key players also stand out by the number of passes they make and receive,
such as 16 (Sergio Busquets) and 8 (Xavi). However, this representation also allows a much more
sophisticated analysis using the standard tools of network science. For example, closeness centrality
measures how easy it is to reach a given node in the network. In footballing terms, it measures how well
connected a player is in the team. Busquets and Xavi have the highest scores in the Spanish team. Both
are better connected than the best connected Dutch player, 1 (Steckelenberg) the goal keeper. That the
goal keeper was the Netherland’s best connected player itself speaks volumes. Another notion is
betweenness centrality, which measures the extent to which a node lies on a path to other nodes. In
footballing terms, betweenness centrality measures how the ball flow between players depends on another
player. Players with a high betweenness centrality are crucial for keeping the momentum of the game
going. These players are important because removing them has a huge impact on the structure of the
network. So a single player with a high betweenness centrality is also a weakness, since the entire team is
vulnerable to an injury to this player or a red card. Spain’s number 11 Joan Capdevilla is the player with
by far the highest betweenness centrality in this match. He is clearly a target for passes from many
players, which he feeds mainly to 14 (Xabi Alonso). Then there is the famous Page Rank algorithm which
measure’s a player’s popularity, as judged by the number of passes he receives from other popular
players. It gives a rough idea of who is most likely to end up with the ball after a suitably large number of
passes. In this game it is Xavi There are clearly limitations to this approach. The data is an average over
several games so it fails to capture the dynamics of specific games. And the positions of the nodes are
also a vast generalization and taken only from a player’s nominal starting position. Pena and Touchette
say there are various ways in which this approach could be improved. They suggest adding another node
to represent the opponents goal and would record the number of shots. They also imagine using a similar
approach to measure the accuracy of passes by taking into account the probability of pass from one
player to another being successful. “The defensive strength of a team could also be incorporated in the
model by tracking passing interceptions and recovered balls,” say Pena and Touchette. Perhaps more
fascinating would be a way of collecting and analyzing the data in real time to produce a network-based
analysis of a game as it happens.

BARCELONA
Under the title “Barcelona’s tiki-taka style of play has revolutionized football. But has their secret weapon
been decoded?,” the BBC Journalist Philip Ball wrote at 18 November 2014 an interesting article about the
“Science behind success”, In particularly wrote: “Like many other top teams, Barcelona has decided that
football is now a “numbers game”, as writers Chris Anderson and David Sally212 have put it in their book of
that title. Managers and coaches are looking for advantage in the statistics of the game: who has possession
the most, which parts of the pitch do they cover, who passed to whom? Passing patterns: Studies like that
conducted for Barcelona go well beyond the traditional totting up of how many shots were on target and for
what proportion of the game each side had possession of the ball. Team coaches are interested in the
patterns and shapes of how the play unfolds. Armchair fans are already accustomed to visuals such as “heat
maps” showing the territory that individual players covered over the course of a game, or diagrams of the
web of passes that led to a goal. One of the outcomes of such analyses is that it explodes myths. It was
because Jose Mourinho knew that the statistical goal-scoring potential of corner kicks was negligible (if
anything, they leave a side exposed to counter-attack) that he was so baffled, when he came to manage
Chelsea in England, at why crowds got so excited when their team was awarded one. The Spanish
national team has adopted much the same tactic, often to devastating effect, and it has changed football into
a game that is less about bold and brilliant attacking manoeuvres designed to secure winning goals and
more about patience, avoiding mistakes, and ensuring that you don’t lose. But how different, really, is tiki-
taka? Even when football was about young children booting a rain-sodden lump of leather on a windswept
sea of mud, we were taught about the importance of passing. Are Barcelona just doing more of the same, but
better? That’s what Rodriguez and colleagues have set out to discover. They have analyzed footage of the
2012-13 games in the first divisions of Spain, Italy, England, France and Germany to find distinctive “motifs”
in the patterns of passing. There have been previous studies of pass networks in football, but these have
tended to concentrate on things like the passes between specific pairs of players. Rodriguez and colleagues
have looked more deeply into the nature of the networks, searching for what they call “flow
motifs”: extended sequences of consecutive passes between specific players. This concept of characterizing
different network structures using motifs or patterns of interconnection is one that has been
developed previously by scientists to study natural systems such as networks of genes, neurons and
organisms in food webs. Messi business: Having identified the prevalence of such motifs in a team’s pass
networks, the researchers compared the numbers with how often these sequences appeared in randomly
generated networks with the same general features (such as the same average number of links between
nodes). This meant studying hundreds of thousands of individual passes. Even at a glance, the statistics for
Barcelona stood apart from those of the other Spanish teams. For example, they used an ABAC motif (let’s
say, Xavi to Messi, back to Xavi, then to Neymar) significantly more often, and an ABCD motif significantly
less often. In other words, there was much more structure in Barcelona’s game: as the researchers say, “tiki-
taka does not consist of uncountable random passes but rather has a precise, finely constructed structure”.
Barcelona's uniqueness became even more clear when the researchers carried out a so-called “cluster
analysis”, which groups teams according to how often they use each of the five possible four-pass motifs
(ABAB, ABCA and so on). While all of the other Spanish teams fall into two clusters, Barcelona occupies is out
on its own. And this special identity remains when teams from other European countries are included – one
or two other sides, such as Turin, West Ham and Juventus, fall a little outside the single main cluster in which
all the other teams are now gathered but Barcelona stands distant and aloof from the rest of the European
crowd”.

From the other hand,
Networking is a socioeconomic business activity213 by which groups of like-minded businesspeople
recognize, create, or act upon business opportunities214
In the second half of the twentieth century, U.S. advocates for workplace equity[who?] popularized the
term and concept of networking as part of a larger social-capital lexicon—which also includes terms such
as "glass ceiling", "role model", "mentoring", and "gatekeeper"—serving to identify and address the
problems barring non-dominant groups from professional success. Mainstream business literature
subsequently adopted the terms and concepts, promoting them as pathways to success for all career
climbers. Since the closing decades of the twentieth century, networking has become an accepted term
and concept in American society.[citation needed] People now invoke "networking" in relation to
everything from child-rearing to science to the business activities described here
A professional network service (or, in an internet context, simply professional network) is a type of social
network service (LIKENID etc) that is focused solely on interactions and relationships of a business nature
rather than including personal, non-business interactions
A professional network service is used by business individuals to establish and maintain professional
contacts and a way to either find work or get ahead in career as well as gain resources and opportunities
for networking. According to LinkedIn managing director Clifford Rosenberg in an interview by AAP in
2010, "this is really a call to action for professionals to re-address their use of social networks and begin
to reap as many rewards from networking professionally as they do personally." Businesses mostly depend
on resources and information outside company and in order to get what they need, they need to reach out
and professionally network to others, such as employees or clients as well as potential opportunities215
The History216 : In 1997, professional network services started up throughout the world and continue to
grow. The first recognizable site to combine all features, such as create profiles, add friends, and search
friends, was SixDegrees.com. According to Boyd and Ellison's article, "Social Network Sites: Definition,
History, and Scholarship", "from 1997 to 2001, a number of community tools began supporting various
combinations of profiles and publicly articulated Friends." Boyd and Ellison go on to say that the next
wave began with Ryze.com in 2001. It was introduced as a new way "to help people leverage their
business networks Once the firm has decided to utilize Social Media applications, it is worth checking that
all employees may actually access them." According to the SNCR "the convergence of Internet, mobile, and
social media has taken significant shape as professionals rely on anywhere access to information,
relationships and networks

People are part of the earth system, they live in Earth, they behave according the earth (and Universe217)
rules Of course, People is even more than “part” of the organic material: They are soul, mind, spirit, love
By the same logic which behaves (our nearest) universe also behaves Earth and also human relations must
behave The same forces (attraction or repulsion) in force in Nature data (many of them know) should
apply to human social, political and economic relations People evolve through adaptation structures and
forces that always tend to the balancing status of these forces
Communication-reaction-selection-decision: Humans communicate with each other, by many ways
It is argued that the "language" and especially "writing", for achieving their communication- were the
most important discovery and the brilliant achievement of mankind For this, only mankind has written
History No other living organism has "History" "Communication" and "interaction" are the necessary
conditions for Choice and Decision's function People bargain, thus producing "reaction" by unique way.
In the opposite, everyone would live a "monastic life" If people have no interaction, each-other there
would be no choice, nor the decision will not even needed But people negotiate (interact) within a given
space (the earth space) with a specific logic which determines the attraction-repulsion-conflict for
thousand years These "movements" of people (even act as separate units) take place a finite space, the
Earth . It is logical, therefore, be harmonized with the movements and the forces and the environment of
the Earth and other celestial bodies
That means that even if people have the self-destruction they have, also the ability of survival through
the attraction-repulsion forces In addition, people have the "adjustment” ability (and of course, the
"adjustment in psychology"Sarbin Theodore R (1940) 218 has adopted the Socratic Method, focusing on the
term “adjustment” having many and conflicted meanings. Based on the last sentence of Sarbin, we have to
see if the adjustment in Psychology would lead human behavior in un-equilibrium situations or not
Equilibrium is the stability factor in Universe, the planets' movement, the Earth etc
People live the fear of the out of control "risk" of a conflict inside a strict time – space’s environment The
question is “what kind of time-space? Borrowed from juristic by mechanics adapted to biology and finally
taking over by psychology, the history of the world “adjustment” is one of the accretion of meanings In its
juristic sense “the process of setting right or settling” Based on the last sentence of Sarbin, In this frame,
people adjust their behavior according to their physical environment ( nowadays, it happens rather the
opposite) We have to imagine that people living in "spherical space" have the ability to adjust their
"reaction/bargaining behavior" and choices" in "special forms" within their social and economic networks
According to this "concept" it seems reasonable to look for the "domain" in which the "bargain’s reaction"
is achieved in spherical forms (coming from the spherical space) This Chapter is dedicated to the "win-
win-win papakonstantinidis function" spherical domain (umbilics)

I tried to identify the "win-win-win" as a key tool for the approach to social welfare by clicking
on the incompatibility of five basic theorems that define it - each one of its own side-either
positive (justice theorem ) or negative (the impossibility theorem)
The suggested "win-win-win papakonstantinidis model”219is built up on these
incompatibilities, in particular as regards the pairs" Pareto efficiency – Impossibility Theorem”
"paradox liberty (Amartya Sen) - Pareto Efficiency” , “Theorem of Justice –Pareto Efficiency”
and (the most important) “the Theorem of incompleteness-the Impossibility Theorem”
The win-win-win papakonstantinidis model is a methodological tool for conflict resolution,
especially in the case of decision making, or in forming "instant reflection winning strategies"
in the BARGAIN (which is the frame) The “win-win-win papakonstantinidis model” concerns
the strategic decision making in a number of fields and domains (biology, psychology,
management, marketing, history- especially in interpretation of historic events-laography,
ethnology, anthropogeography, philosophy, economy, sociology, pure math, communication,

Since the game theory (exactly: the “non cooperative game theory”) saved the New-classical
School of Thought in Economics letting it to make a restart, focusing on the “bargaining
equilibrium” (Nash Equilibrium) and the equimarginal principle (consumer choice) it seems
that the bargaining behavior is in the centre of our research
Starting from the “zero sum two players game” (John von Neumann- Oscar Morgenstern
1944)220in the form of “win- lose” at any bargain, then was the John Forbs Nash who made the
difference, letting in both bargainers to win (win-win) But, for another time this bargain was
rather to the side of the winners (due to their bargaining force) than eliminating social
inequalities (the winner takes it all)
With this aim an hypothetical dipole bargain between 2 bargainers (*A,B) converted into 3-
pole by introducing the "Community" (the village, the town, the inhabitants of a country, a
continent, planet, after all) as a third pole in any bargain (win-win-win)
So the concept is to construct a theoretical-original-model so that it should respond better to
the conditions of "social welfare"
With this aim an hypothetical triple-pole bargain between 2 (A and B and the "Community"
included as the third pole) is a basis for scientific dialogue By the tem “Community” we can
imagine any common structure, i.e the village, the town, the inhabitants of a country, a
continent, planet, after all-
The point is that the third pole (the Community) will claim its own profits, in a future
negotiation It is about a "win-win-win" concept which is now the global requirement For
example, the first concrete example has to do with environmental protection Climate change
leaves no room to 2 competitors
fields lies in the very nature of the model, especially in its triple pole perception, which leads
us to see things from another, alternative approach, the triple view, whether in psychology or
any interpretation of historical past time events or/and diplomacy, or even communication, or
MANAGEMENT……………………………………… without considering the entire rest of the world
Each negotiation between 2 concerns the entire planet The how achieved in practice I think it
can be done with Laws, as long as there is the political will of Another Dimension It has to do
with the war see the two superpowers to compete by focusing on the war in the Middle East
(Syria and Iraq) But the agreement or disagreement affects millions of people in the two
countries who come as refugees to Europe
The recognition of the third pole in our daily life is connected with its social necessity
Without any imposition by dictatorial regimes, the 3-pole approach to bargaining, is necessary
and unavoidable if and only if humankind seeks survival solutions
In a “win-win-win” negotiation/deal there is more possibility of achieving social welfare: This
can be proved by the math example below On the other side we have 5 basic foundational and

global known Theorems which are incompatible each-other So the concept here was to put
them one against the other and seek "material" to build the new
For example, the Incompleteness Theorem (Gödel) fades the Impossibility Theorem (K. Arrow)
and the Pareto Efficiency is basic for the Impossibility Theorem, but not for the “Justice
theorem (Rawls) But from these incompatibilities arises a necessity of completeness,
effectiveness, universal justice, a necessity of "umbilical points" freedom , economic
equilibrium The synthesis of all these lead to a situation utopia (romantic, idealistic) will
certainly not get, but shows us, from the other, a path of self-preservation and survival if the
goal is not suicidal

The concept is to launch a pilot project focused on the emergence of a new equilibrium
between three negotiators A-B-C (including the Community, “C”) in a bargain between two. How can this happen?
This work started with a simplistic syllogism: Capitalism with its fundamental axioms of the
"free market" and "competition" has solved many problems but created more One of these is
the "social inequality" and the consequent absence of "social welfare"
The "bargain" and the subsequent “bargaining power” manifested in and by this are on the
basis of the capitalist system
In the bargain there are two (2) quite rational negotiators with totally opposite interests that
try to achieve an agreement (or even disagreement), pursuing each one to gain the greatest
individual (and not collective) profit
It seems to me, that the "social welfare"(the objective of a probable “social choice”) is
impossible within the capitalist system that has at its center the man who acts rationally and
always for his personal interests
It was very easy for Kenneth Arrow (1950)221 to prove the "impossibility” of Social Choice
(inside the capitalist system) in his homonymous theorem (which earned him the Nobel Prize
in Economics in 1972)
“Game Theory” [especially, the “Non-cooperative Game Theory”] has an important contribution
to restart the “New-classical economic school” due to its character, as a conflict game between
2: The theory of games222 is a mathematical discipline designed to treat rigorously the
question of optimal behavior of participants in games of strategy and to determine the
resulting equilibria. Thus, in games of strategy223 there is conflict of interest as well as
possible cooperation among the participants. There may be uncertainty for each participant
because the actions of others may not be known with certainty. Such situations, often of
extreme complexity, are found not only in games but also in business, politics, war, and other
social activities. Therefore, the theory serves to interpret both games themselves and social
phenomena with which certain games are strictly identical. The theory is normative in that it
aims at giving advice to each player about his optimal behavior; it is descriptive when viewed
as a model for analyzing empirically given occurrences. In analyzing games the theory does
not assume rational behavior; rather, it attempts to determine what “rational” can mean when
an individual is confronted with the problem of optimal behavior in games and equivalent
situations224.
In contrast, if it were possible to import third party (natural or legal person, company, state,
associations of states) to negotiation between two (2) then this "new" person should have a
dual character, to produce results:

(b) as the "entity -umbrella", or as an agent over the other two negotiators, claiming his share
of any agreement (or disagreement)
But why, the two original parts (A-B) must accept an entity, "C" (whatever it is), in a bargain
between them which do not come from the set of possible positions defined by the
competition of their individual interests?
This is the point, which the “win-win-win papakonstantinidis theory” has been based on
Generally, this point has the most important contribution in building the new perception
(step by step) that is suggested here
This central question is broken down into three sub-question, each of which follows another
in the order of priority that have been completed (and one question for its practical utility)
5. What is the real meaning of the term “social welfare”?
6. Can a theory or a model based on the incompatibilities other theorems and theories
be supported and interpreted?
7. Does exist the only one “win-win-win papakonstantinidis 3D equilibrium” or not?
8. If YES, then which is its practical utility? Are there examples on it?
Answer to those questions build up the suggested “win-win-win papakonstantinidis theory”
o The first sub-question is referred in the pure theoretical “moral” approach of the
"social welfare" thus building up the “philosophical side of the proposal: From

Paradox230, or Bernoulli Petesbourg Paradox231 (barbers paradox), the agency theory
Stefen Ross232:”… The relationship of agency is one of the oldest and commonest
codified modes of social interaction. We will say that an agency relationship has arisen
between two (or more) parties when one, designated as the agent, acts for, on behalf
of, or as representative for the other, designated the principal, in a particular domain
of decision problems. Examples of agency are universal. Essentially all contractural
arrangements, as between employer and employee or the state and the governed, for
example, contain important elements of agency. In addition, without explicitly
studying the agency relationship, much of the economic literature on problems of
moral hazard (see K. J. Arrow) is concerned with problems raised by agency. In a
general equilibrium context the study of information flows (see J. Marschak and R.
Radner) or of financial intermediaries in monetary models is also an example of
agency theory. The canonical agency posed as follows. Assume that both the agent
and the principal possess state independent von Neumann-Morgenstern utility
functions, G(.) and U(.) respectively, and that they act so as to maximize their
expected utility. The problems of agency are really most interesting when seen as
involving choice under uncertainty and this is the view we will adopt. The agent may
choose an act, a CA, a feasible action space, and the random payoff from this act, w(a,
0), will depend on the random state of nature O(EQ the state space set), unknown to
the agent when a is chosen. By assumption the agent and the principal have agreed
upon a fee schedule f to be paid to the agent for his services. T he fee, f, is generally a
function of both the state of the world, 0, and the action, a, but we will assume that
the action can influence the parties and, hence, the fee only through its impact on the
payoff. T his permits us to write, (1) f = f(w(a,6);6). Two points deserve mention.
Obviously the choice of a fee schedule is the outcome of a bargaining problem or, in
large games, of a market process. Much of what we have to say is relevant for this
view but we will not treat the bargaining problem explicitly. Second, while it is
possible to conceive of the fee as being directly functionally dependent on the act, the
theory loses much of its interest, since without further conditions, such a fee can
always be chosen as a Dirac 8-function forcing a particular act (see S. Ross). In some

point up below. Now, the agent will choose an act, a, so as to (2) max E{G[f(w(a, 0);
0)]}, a 0 where the agent takes the expectation over his subjectively held probability
distribution. The solution to the agent's problem involves the choice of an optimal act,
ao, conditional on the particular fee schedule, i.e., ao=a((f)), where a(.) is a mapping
from the space of fee schedules into A. If the principal has complete information
about the fee to act mapping, a((f)), he will now choose a fee so as to max El

with the same words as to support my argumentation:
o Set theory is the branch of MATHEMATICAL LOGIC that studies SETS which informally
are collections of objects. Although any type of object can be collected into a set, set
theory is applied most often to objects that are relevant to mathematics. The language

e. Is a set formed by the Axioms?
Informal and formal axiom systems
One big reason for the expressed disconnect is that Gödel’s theorems are about formal axiom
systems of a kind that play no role in daily mathematical work. Informal axiom systems for
various kinds of structures are of course ubiquitous in practice, viz. axioms for groups, rings,
fields, vector spaces, topological spaces, Hilbert spaces, etc., etc.; these axioms and their
basic consequences are so familiar it is rarely necessary to appeal to them explicitly, but they
serve to define one’s subject matter. They are to be contrasted with foundational axiom
systems for the “mother” structures--the natural numbers (Peano) and the real numbers
(Dedekind)--on the one hand, and for the general concepts of set and function (Zermelo-
Fraenkel) used throughout mathematics, on the other. Mathematicians may make explicit
appeal to the principle of induction for the natural numbers or the least upper bound principle

for the real numbers or the axiom of choice for sets, but reference to foundational axiom
systems in practice hardly goes beyond that.
One informal statement of the basic Peano axioms for the natural numbers is that they
concern a structure (N, 0, s) where 0 is in N, the successor function s is a unary one-one map
from N into N which does not have 0 in its range, and the Induction Principle is satisfied in the
following form: (IP) for any property P(x), if P(0) holds and if for all x in N, P(x) implies P(s(x))
then for all x in N, P(x) holds.

The study aims to highlight the existence and importance of a tri-polar process approach of
scientific and practice - everyday thinking For this purpose develops individual objectives
which reaches through the "thought experiment": In spite of the perception that the test
applies only to materials organic elements, the "thought experiment" adopted in this study
appears to have visible effects on application Thought experiment is adopted by the follow
means:
“The common goal of a thought experiment is to explore the potential consequences of the
principle in question: "A thought experiment is a device with which one performs an
intentional, structured process of intellectual deliberation in order to speculate, within a
specifiable problem domain, about potential consequents (or antecedents) for a designated
antecedent (or consequent)" (Bowers PM, Cokus SJ, Eisenberg D, Yeate 2004) p. 150)234.The
study goes on by Implicative lattice
We expect that this work is well laid out and logical methodology will provide a great
backbone for the entire research paper, allowed to us build an extremely strong results
section Having some –selective- influences from the Ancient Greek Philosophy (Socrates, Plato,
Aristotle Epicurus), as well as philosophies of the Enlightenment235 and the “Age of Reason”
(such as Locke, Hobbes, Hume Kant & alle)236 as well as from modern rationalist philosophy,
this work combines an empiricist approach with a rationalism that emphasized conceptual
clarity and deductive argument. In this frame the Socratic dialectic method has been adopted
in this work:
o First the prevailing view (thesis) is presented and defined.
o Then this thesis is criticized (antithesis), by the ontological arguments
o Finally, these two opposite perceptions are merged in a unique construction
(synthesis)
o NOTE: [any triple-pole conception, either the essential or methodological approach
has been adopted by this article]
According to the prime objective of the Study (feasibility of social welfare even under capitalist
production and marketing system) and the three main pillars of the methodology adopted by
it, definitions of five theorems and 4 theories are recognized, as domains of "positive
acceptance” (thesis, in ancient Greek philosophy)
The same definitions are examined under a critical view (antithesis) thus leading in their
rejection Finally, a third completely new aspect (synthesis) raised -I hope- as a result of the
merger of two previous positions / views

Enlightenment thought culminates historically in the political upheaval of the French Revolution, in which the traditional hierarchical political and social orders (the French monarchy, the privileges of the French nobility, the political power and authority of the Catholic Church) were violently destroyed and replaced by a political and social order informed by the Enlightenment ideals of freedom and equality for all, founded, ostensibly, upon principles of human reason. The Enlightenment begins with the scientific revolution of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

alternative methodological choices, methods from the classic David Hume’s scientific work, as
it is expressed by "Research on Human Understanding”237 and “Enquiry Concerning Human
Understanding”238 and Jeremy Bentham’s “An introduction to the principles of morals and

o the importance of logic against custom and tradition and
o precision in the use of terms, have been adopted
so that other researchers can review the results by replicating the research and guaranteeing
the validity. By this necessity a completely accurate description of the equipment and the
techniques used for gathering the data have been planned and executed, providing at the
same time an explanation of how the raw data was compiled and analyzed. The followed
methodology allows the readers to make their own decision about the validity of the data, thus
any reader to understand how research data have been obtained, allowed them to evaluate the

"If we exclude the possibility of interpersonal comparisons of
utility, then the only methods of passing from individual tastes to
social preferences which will be satisfactory and which will be
defined for a wide range of sets of individual orderings are either
imposed or dictatorial”
GENERAL IMPOSSIBILITY THEOREM:
It is impossible to formulate a social preference ordering that
satisfies all of the following conditions:
1. Non-dictatorship: The preferences of an individual
should not become the group ranking without
“win-win-win” is a “decision making methodological tool It tries to
approach issues as
How do rational citizens decide how and whether to vote in two-candidate (or two-party) elections?; What spatial positions would rational candidates choose to offer citizens?; and What position(s), if any, would win and hence become the social choice?
Answers on that questions are very useful for understanding the real
problem in its dimensions
We support that a “win-win-win” situation (equilibrium point) is feasible
through the time

considering the preferences of others.
2. Individual Sovereignty: each individual should be able to
order the choices in any way and indicate ties
3. Unanimity: If every individual prefers one choice to
another, then the group ranking should do the same
4. Freedom From Irrelevant Alternatives: If a choice is
removed, then the others' order should not change
5. Uniqueness of Group Rank: The method should yield the
same result whenever applied to a set of preferences.
The group ranking should be transitive.
NOTE:
In a capitalist democracy there are essentially two methods by which social choices can be made: voting, typically used to make "political" decisions, and the market mechanism, typically used to make "economic" decisions. In the emerging democracies with mixed economic systems, Great Britain, France, and Scandinavia, the same two modes of making social choices prevail, though more scope is given to the method of voting and to decisions based directly or indirectly on it and less to the rule of the price mechanism. Elsewhere in the world, and even in smaller social units within the democracies, the social decisions are sometimes made by single individuals or small groups and sometimes (more and more rarely in this modern world) by a widely encompassing set of traditional rules for making the social choice in any given situation, e.g., a religious code.
The theorem has implications for welfare economics and theories
of justice It was extended by Amartya Sen to the liberal paradox
which argued that given a status of "Minimal Liberty " there was no
way to obtain Pareto Optimality, nor to avoid the problem of social
choice of neutral but unequal results.
An example of this would be to have the following choices to divide
a cake between three people. Let us call them A, B and C.
Choice 1: A gets nothing, B and C get half each.
Choice 2: B gets nothing, A and C get half each.
Choice 3: C gets nothing, A and B get half each.
Choice 4: divide the cake equally.
Thus, if each person votes to get as much cake as possible, choice 4
would be third from the top in everyone's list, and would in any
direct choice lose 2 to 1 against an unequal distribution. Since all of
these choices are Pareto-optimal – no one's welfare can be
improved without reducing the welfare of others – choice 4 would
not be chosen, since there would always be other preferred choices.
and even more, in a 3D space
Also, Prof. Tovey Craig (2010) gave me material to examine main issues
based on the probability of majority rule instability in the 2D Euclidean
model From this point of view, the ideas about “voting” or even the
political activism the spatial model of electoral competition, ,gave me
some ideas of examining the "decision making from different sides
That is very useful of my work, as I had to compare “nodes” (voters) in
relation with their decisions
Also, Aldrich J. (1983) “A Downsian Spatial Model with Party Activism..”,
has provided me with the main “question” as it concerns to "the decision
making" or even more, "the question concerned if the co-decision is a
state feasible and if so, what is the action event's field
Also Bossert W. and Tan G 1995 “An arbitration game and the egalitarian bargaining solution”) presented a simple arbitration procedure which is a multi-stage variant of Nash's demand game. In the absence of discounting, all Nash equilibria of the game yield the egalitarian solution in the first stage. The crucial feature of arbitration procedure is that, in the case of
incompatible demands, the game is allowed to continue and the player
who demands the higher gain over the disagreement point is penalized by
restricting her or his feasible demands in the following stage.
That is very useful for my work, by an alternative concept or point of view:

Arrow supports wit math argumentation, that voting can be regarded as a
method of arriving at social choices derived from the preferences of
individuals. It is impossible to formulate a social preference ordering that
satisfies all of the following conditions:
We have to repeat the “hypothetic example of the “social experiment”
1. Non-dictatorship: The preferences of an individual should not
become the group ranking without considering the preferences
of others.
2. Individual Sovereignty: each individual should be able to order
the choices in any way and indicate ties

then the group ranking should do the same

ARROW
Prof Arrow (born 1921) [Nobel Prize in Economics, 1972) argued in his (famous) paper (1950). "A Difficulty in the Concept of Social Welfare" Journal of Political Economy 58 (4): 328–346 the following concept: “…The last two methods of social choice, dictatorship and convention, have in their formal structure a certain definiteness absent from voting or the market mechanism. In an ideal dictatorship, there is but one will involved in choice; in an ideal society ruled by convention, there is but the divine will or perhaps, by assumption, a common will of all individuals concerning social decisions, so that in either case no conflict of individual wills is involved. The methods of voting and of the market, on the other hand, are methods of amalgamating the tastes of many individuals in the making of social choices. The methods of dictatorship and convention are, or can be, rational in the sense that any individual can be rational in his choice. Can such consistency be attributed to collective modes f choice where the wills of many people are involved? It should be emphasized here that the present study is concerned with the formal aspects of the foregoing question. That is, we ask if it is formally to construct a procedure passing a set individual tastes to a pattern of social decision-making, of social decision-making, the procedure in question being required to certain natural conditions. An illustration of the problem is the following well-known "paradox of voting'" Suppose there is a community consisting of three voters and this community must choose among three alternative modes of social action (e.g., disarmament, cold war, or hot war). It is expected that choices of this type have to be made repeatedly,
natural way of arriving at the collective preference scale would be to say
that one alternative is preferred to another if a majority of the Community
prefer the first alternative to the second, i.e., would choose the first over
the second if those were the only two alternatives

So the method just outlined for passing from individual to collective tastes
fails to satisfy the condition of rationality as we ordinarily understand it.
Can we find other methods of aggregating individual tastes which imply
rational behavior on the part of the Community and which will be
satisfactory in other ways?
WIN-WIN-WIN
There are, at least, a general objection and three ways of controversial
skepticism:

but sometimes not all of the three alternatives will be available. In analogy with the usual utility analysis of the individual consumer under conditions of constant wants and variable price-income situations, rational behavior on the part of the Community would mean that the Community orders the three alternatives according to its collective preferences once for all and then chooses in any given case that alternative among those actually available which stands highest on this list.
A natural way of arriving at the collective preference scale would be
to say that one alternative is preferred to another if a majority of
the Community prefer the first alternative to the second, i.e., would
choose the first over the second if those were the only two
alternatives

GENERAL OBJECTION:
We can imagine the political "game" as "bargaining game"
The same "relationship" that binds politicians and voters each other,
applies to negotiation between 2 seeking to maximize their personal
satisfaction (everyone, as he feels this personal satisfaction)
In the case of three negotiators (or three voters, for 2 political parties, Community orders the three alternatives according to its collective preferences once for all and then chooses in any given case that alternative among those actually available which stands highest on this list.
BUT
…………………
In the suggested “win-win-win bargaining system” we introduce the
“third party,, in a bargain between two, i.e A-B and the Community-the
“C” Factor
However, this is not enough
We saw in the “Impossibility Theorem” (Arrows) that in a "meeting" of
three, cannot be formed "collectivity", unless alternative options
But if the Community should be seen as the third pole of the bargain,
then it could play a double role in each infinitesimal form of
"bargaining" and so the question acquires new interest-see scheme-
In the scheme above, we tried to “introduce” the above concept in colors :
Let the big square, be the “bargain” and let red-blue in the diagonal be
bargainers (A-B) or their strategies with payoffs,
Now, we have to present the other diagonal squares “deep blue-white”
By these squares we suggest to “color” the role of the Community in a
bargain (any bargain) between two
Deep blue expresses the “red-blue” synthesis, which is true
But the most important, is “white” with which we color the “extra role” of
the Community: A synthesis of the opponent interests towards the
agreement, characterized by more equality - justice - solidarity - efficiency

tastes fails to satisfy the condition of rationality as we ordinarily
understand it. Can we find other methods of aggregating individual
tastes which imply rational behavior on the part of the Community
and which will be satisfactory in other ways? If we adopt the
traditional identification of rationality with maximization of some
sort, then the problem of achieving a social maximum derived from
individual desires is precisely the problem which has been central to
the field of welfare economics.4 However, the search for a clear
definition of optimum social welfare has been plagued by the
difficulties of interpersonal comparisons. The emphasis, as is well
known, has shifted to a weaker definition of optimum, namely, the
determination of all social states such that no individual can be
made better off without making someone worse off. As Professors
Bergson, Lange, and Samuelson have argued, though, the weaker
definition cannot be used as a guide to social policy; the second type
of welfare economics is only important as a preliminary to the
determination of a genuine social maximum in the full sense. E.g.,
under the usual assumptions, if there is an excise tax imposed on
one commodity in the initial situation, it can be argued that the
removal of the tax accompanied by a suitable redistribution of
income and direct tax burdens will improve the position of all
individuals in the society. But there are, in general, many re-
distributions which will accomplish this end, and society must have
some criterion for choosing among them before it can make any
change at all. Further, there is no reason for confining the range of
possible social actions to those which will injure no one as compared
with the initial situation, unless the status quo is to be sanctified on
ethical grounds. All we can really say is that society ought to abolish
the excise tax and make some redistribution of income and tax
burdens; but this is no prescription for action unless there is some
principle by which society can make its choice among attainable in-
come distributions, i.e., a social indifference map.
Voting can be regarded as a method of arriving at social choices
derived from the preferences of individuals. Another such method of
more specifically economic content is the compensation principle, as
proposed by Mr. Kaldor: in a choice between two alternative
and self-organization : Indeed the white color is the synthesis of all
rainbow’s colors
Thus Community (the rest of population except the two bargainers (A-B)
has a double role, in any bargain between two
a. The third (maybe invisible) bargainer in a bargain between two
b. The “synthesis” and the responsibility of forming step-by step
the agreement
In the suggested “win-win-win papakonstantinidis model” introduces us to
a number of 3-pole approaches, as for example the “model of partisan
activists (which is our last objective)269
Youth activism is youth engagement in community organizing for social
change: Social change refers to an alteration in the social order of
a society. Social change may include changes in nature, social institutions,
social behaviors, or social relations. Youth activists fight for a better world!
Youth participation in social change focuses more on issue-oriented
activism than traditional partisan or electoral politics270Youth have taken
lead roles in public protests and advocacy around anti-war activism, anti-
crime and government corruption271 anti-government censorship,
expanded educational access, and public transportation access.
Technology and the use of digital media has changed the way youth
participate in activism globally, and youth are more active in media than
older generations Social media
This reversal of traditional activism "partisans" in "Thematic activism" is a
very important consequence of changing daily life and patterns through
technology that has entered our lives
However,
The main influence of “New Technologies” has been in our
communication and the “Social Networking” as well as in the way that
people (mainly young people) perceive the "New Age"
Facebook/twitter has become a tool for youth to not only gather
information, but broadcast events and activities, participate in activist
groups, and get in contact with other activist. Twitter although it is used to
provide links to activism, is not regarded to be as useful because of the
limitation of 140 characters. Twitter has also been used to spread
awareness of social issues by using hashtags
Hashtag/instagram: A hashtag is a type of label or metadata tag used
on social network and micro-blogging services which makes it easier for

economic states χ and y, if there is a method of paying
compensations under state χ such that everybody can be made
better off in the state resulting from making the compensations
under χ than they are in state y, then χ should be chosen in
preference to y, even if the compensation is not actually paid.
Apart from the ethical difficulties in the acceptance of this principle,
there is a formal difficulty which was pointed out by Professor
Scitovszky: it is possible that simultaneously χ should be preferred to
y and y be preferred to x. Just as in the case of majority voting, this
method of aggregating individual preferences may lead to a pattern
of social choice which is not a linear ordering of the social
alternatives. Note that in both cases the paradox need not occur; all
that is said is that there are preference patterns which, if held by the
individual members of the society, will give rise to an inconsistent
pattern of social choice. Unless the trouble-breeding individual
preference patterns can be ruled out by a priori assumption, both
majority voting and the compensation principle must be regarded as
unsatisfactory techniques for the determination of social
preferences…”

The example of voting
In short, the theorem states that no rank-order voting system can be
designed that always satisfies these three "fairness" criteria:
If every voter prefers alternative X over alternative Y,
then the group prefers X over Y.
If every voter's preference between X and Y remains
unchanged, then the group's preference between X and Y will
also remain unchanged (even if voters' preferences between
other pairs like X and Z, Y and Z, or Z and W change).
There is no "dictator": no single voter possesses the
power to always determine the group's preference.
“…Today’s consumers can check into a store with the use of a geolocation service (Foursquare), redeem an offer that is available, and share their comment on that platform. Then immediately they can post an update on their Facebook timeline, referencing the retailer’s page. SoLoMo consumers have three basic characteristics: SOcial media engagement, LOcal findability, and smart-phone MObility marketing that is SOcial-LOcal- MOtivation The authors write in their scientific work Social networks are the “activities, practices, and behaviors among communities of people who gather online to share information, knowledge, and opinions using conversational networks. Conversational networks are web-based applications that make it possible to create and easily transmit content in the form of words, pictures, videos and audios” Social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are growing rapidly as channels of human communication allowing brands and consumers to engage in public discussions. As consumers are using social media as their main source of information, communication, and entertainment, marketers will be finding a fruitful environment full of opportunities….”
Keeping in mind that the one long-term goal is to develop a "three actor"
spatial model (i.e., one with candidates, citizens, and activists), the model
of partisan activists I propose to be parallel, with the usual spatial model
of elections as closely as possible. The connections between the model of
activists and the electoral model, is very important argument for the win-
win-win (the Community included) model: The relation (A-B-Community)
in the bargain, has a number of similarities with “candidates-citizens-
activists. Besides, it is the same relation “PAC” in the “local development
scientific field” (People(Local), Authorities (Local) and Consumers of the
“rural tourism” services273 Also, the triangular relation “teacher-student-
parents” in the case of “Educational crisis”274
Activism consists of efforts to promote, impede, or direct social, political,
economic, or environmental change, or stasis with the desire to make
improvements in society and to correct social injustice. Forms of activism
range from writing letters to newspapers or to politicians, political
campaigning, economic activism such as boycotts or preferentially
patronizing businesses, rallies, street marches, strikers, sit-ins, and hunger
strikes One can also express activism through different forms of art. Daily
acts of protest such as not buying clothes from a certain clothing company
because they exploit workers is another form of activism275 Still, it is
important to note that there might be some fairly straightforward
connections between the two models (the model of partisan activists AND
the electoral model) . The principal conclusions that the author tried to
reach here are that the distribution of activists in the two parties will be
relatively cohesive within each party, relately divergent between parties,
and generally in stable equilibrium. Researchers showed that if partisan
activists are distributed n ways rather like those derived here, candidates
who might want to converge to each other (and the policy center) to win
the general election might need to diverge along the line of party cleavage
to obtain the support of partisan activists in order to receive the
nomination in the first place. In effect, I answer in this article the question

From the other side, the Downsian or spatial model of voting under Euclidean or quadratic concave preferences is a widely used model of group choice and has found extensive empirical application as well, particularly in 2 dimensions The spatial model of electoral competition proposed by Downs in 1957 has generated a great deal of subsequent analysis. There has been accumulation of knowledge about these sorts of models. Throughout this development, there has been virtually unwavering attention to a closely intertwined set of questions243:
a) How do rational citizens decide how and whether to vote in two-candidate (or two-party) elections?;
b) What spatial positions would rational candidates choose to offer citizens?; and
c) c) What position(s), if any, would win and hence become the social choice?
The questions I ask concern political parties and actual or potential activists in one or the other of the two parties. Specifically, given a two-party system:
a. Who is more or less likely to become involved with a political party, and in which party are they likely to be active?
b. What are the consequences of these choices; that is, how are the partisan activists distributed across the space? Are these distributions stable and enduring? and
d) What consequences might the answers to questions (a) and (b) have for parties, policies, and elections in the short and long runs? In this article, I propose a model to answer questions (a) and (b). In the concluding section (and more briefly below), I will suggest some of the ways in which question (c) might be explored and answered.
a "three actor" spatial model (i.e., one with candidates, citizens, and activists), The model of partisan activists he proposed was parallel the usual spatial model of elections as closely as possible. The connections between the model of activists and the electoral model will not be made here. Still, it is important to note that there might be some fairly straightforward connections between the two models statement (Kenneth Arrow,1950)244: The need to
aggregate preferences occurs in many disciplines: in welfare
economics where one attempts to find an economic outcome which
would be acceptable and stable; in decision theory, where a person
has to make a rational choice based on several criteria; and most
naturally in voting systems which are mechanisms for extracting a
decision from a multitude of voters' preferences.
The framework for Arrow's theorem assumes that we need to
extract a preference order on a given set of options (outcomes).
Each individual in the society (or equivalently, each decision
of why partisan activists might be distributed as these authors assumed
them to be.
Preparing the world for a new "level of consciousness"?
The answer is rather complicated:
The current literature on concepts such as "social justice", equality, equal
distribution, shows a wide range of authors-researchers who insists on a
process of "preparing" for a new consciousness. Religion is not a matter, or
"conspiracy" but a matter of pure logic: The world cannot survive in the
form it has today. Huge burden of our natural environment, climatic
changes huge scale, huge movements "immigrants" and refugees from
their land and their accumulation in the "major centers" huge economic
losses, wars etc.
I tried to approach the main issue, from different scientific fields (math,
economics, marginal economics, sociology, psychology, history, laography
science of law, game theory, bargaining theory …
Let’s start:
ACTIVISM has a meaningful importance for the “win-win-win model” It is
its core, and, at the same time, it is the win-win-win model' in terms of
its practical application
THE CONTRIBUTION OF "WIN-WIN-WIN" IN KNOWLEDGE FIELD
KNOWLEDGE-BEHAVIOR SYNTHESIS:
According to Spais (Spais 2012)276 the win-win-win papakonstantinidis
model is a methodological tool for conflict resolution, especially in the case
of decision-making, or in forming "instant reflection winning strategies" in
the bargain (which is the frame
From the other, “sensitization" may be concerned as an information, thus
changed the 3 parts’ imperfect information, into a complete information
as Harsanyi's conditional probabilities claims. It is a hard process in the
bargain, which smoothes the angles of conflict or the payoffs/utilities
(according to Nash) The "third win" may be an umbrella, which conjoins
different "dipolar relationships" Especially, in the local management
context, it must be understood that the existence of a "distinguishable
entity", depends upon the degree of understanding and sensitization of

criterion) gives a particular order of preferences on the set of
outcomes. We are searching for a ranked voting system, called
a social welfare function (preference aggregation rule), which
transforms the set of preferences (profile of preferences) into a
single global societal preference order. The theorem considers the
following properties, assumed to be reasonable requirements of a
fair voting method:
Non-dictatorship
The social welfare function should account for the wishes of multiple
voters. It cannot simply mimic the preferences of a single voter.
Unrestricted domain245
(or universality) For any set of individual voter preferences, the
social welfare function should yield a unique and complete ranking
of societal choices. Thus:
It must do so in a manner that results in a complete
ranking of preferences for society.
It must deterministically provide the same ranking
each time voters' preferences are presented the
same way.
Independence of irrelevant alternatives (IIA)
The social preference between x and y should depend only on the
individual preferences between x and y (Pair wise) In dependence).
More generally, changes in individuals' rankings
of irrelevant alternatives (ones outside a certain subset) should have
no impact on the societal ranking of the subset. For example, the
introduction of a third candidate to a two-candidate election should
not affect the outcome of the election unless the third candidate
wins. (See Remarks below.)
Positive association of social and individual values
knowing better the other polar (Spais, Papakonstantinidis and
Papakonstantinidis, 2009). For the needs of the study, I adjust the
conceptualization, in order to deal with local management and
development decisions The win-win-win perception is based on the
assumptions of information accessibility and diffusion that characterize the
modern globalized societies as well as the complexity in the decision-
making values that the "third win" (the "C" factor) could unlock a series of
obstacles (Spais, Papakonstantinidis and Papakonstantinidis, 2009).
Another idea, is that the individual three-by-two, (although doubts) must
take into consideration at each time that there is the third distinguishable
part (Spais, 2012) in the bargain, based on behaviorist analysis through
the "neural networks". Resent literature on behavioral analysis, provides
us with the relation between knowledge and behavior So, an overview is
attempt (Papakonstantinidis, 2004)277, as to find the relation between
“knowledge transfer and knowledge creation”, in the frame of the
“Modern Innovation Theory- M.I.T” (Fischer M.M, 2006 Nonaka and
others) Behavior thus may resulted from this knowledge types’ synthesis,

(or monotonicity) If any individual modifies his or her preference
order by promoting a certain option, then the societal preference
order should respond only by promoting that same option or not
changing, never by placing it lower than before. An individual should
not be able to hurt an option by ranking it higher.
Non-imposition
(or citizen sovereignty) Every possible societal preference order
should be achievable by some set of individual preference orders.
This means that the social welfare function is surjective: It has an
unrestricted target space.
Arrow's theorem says that if the decision-making body has at least
two members and at least three options to decide among, then it is
impossible to design a social welfare function that satisfies all these
conditions at once.
A later (1963) version of Arrow's theorem can be obtained by
replacing the monotonicity and non-imposition criteria with:
Pareto efficiency
(or unanimity) If every individual prefers a certain option to another,
then so must the resulting societal preference order. This, again, is a
demand that the social welfare function will be minimally sensitive
to the preference profile.
The later version of this theorem is stronger—has weaker
conditions—since monotonicity, non-imposition, and independence
of irrelevant alternatives together imply Pareto efficiency, whereas
Pareto efficiency and independence of irrelevant alternatives
together do not imply monotonicity. (Incidentally, Pareto efficiency
on its own implies non-imposition.)

«Sensitization» is a complex but useful methodological approach,
providing - in the starting phase - local people with the «community
consensus», creating the conditions of a sustainable local development. In
other words, «sensitization» may be a fundamental local endogenous
conception under which local people learn to be active members of the
community, making their own skills and abilities valuable to their
community’s development procedure
Sensitization is a process, as well as a way of thinking –a philosophy-
motivating local people towards a common goal and providing them with
new forms of an alternative behaviour, with respect to their own place
«identity» : In fact, sensitization introduces a psychological reform : it let
people change their perception, about the «market community»
The objective is to prove that the rationalization of the «Integrated
Endogenous Local Development» could prove to be a valuable policy
means, under the proposed methodological procedure of Sensitizing Local
People, toward their common development goal, based on their own
forces. «Sensitization». as a useful methodological approach -a
philosophy- may be the fundamental conception for building the social
capital at local level, by making valuable the local people’s «intrinsic
inclinations» , under a new value system, and human communication.
The rationalization of the «Integrated Endogenous Local Development»
could prove to be a valuable policy means, under the proposed
methodological procedure of «Sensitizing Local People» towards their
common development goal. In this starting phase, «social capital», i.e the
ability of local agencies to joint up their own forces, so that to co-operate,
in a collective and efficient way, could prove to be the key-point for the
development procedure, if it was possible to be developed through a
«sensitized bottom-up approach».
Some ideas, in our life should not to be marketed : Social capital could
involve non –market “terms” as “self-respect”, “trustfulness” etc
«Community» should be concerned as «a big family», inside and at the
same time, as an enterprise in its habitants’ relations with other places or
communities, for survival
The ‘concept” of “big family” let the community operate under a spirit of
«human communication», human values, and respect to their own place’s
tradition and culture, or to the «community identity»
We try to highlight to those sides of the integrated local development
procedure, which could be improved, if they could be combined with the
social capital, at local level, under the «sensitization» methodology,
providing an innovative «bottom-up» approach, motivating local people
to be active, in planning and applying «their own ideas» for their

resolution processes and techniques that act as a means for
disagreeing parties to come to an agreement short of litigation. It is
a collective term for the ways that parties can settle disputes, with
(or without) the help of a third party.
ADR is the closest statute to “win-win-win” In fact, the Community’s “win” is double 1. is the third pole of seeking the enforcement of "own" interest AND 2 is the arbitrator ensures equality and justice in the A-B bargain But who ensures the A-B opposite this third part of the deal (Community); The answer is one and unique: The Republic, the democratic regime thus meeting to the origins of the “win-win-win” Despite historic resistance to ADR by many popular parties and their advocates, ADR has gained widespread acceptance among both the general public and the legal profession in recent years. In fact, some courts now require some parties to resort to ADR of some type, usually mediation, before permitting the parties' cases to be tried (indeed the European Mediation Directive (2008)expressly contemplates so-called "compulsory" mediation; this means that attendance is compulsory, not that settlement must be reached through mediation). Additionally, parties to Merger and acquisition transactions are increasingly turning to ADR to resolve post-acquisition disputes The rising popularity of ADR can be explained by the increasing caseload of traditional courts, the perception that ADR imposes fewer costs than litigation, a preference for confidentiality, and the desire of some parties to have greater control over the selection of the individual or individuals who will decide their dispute247Some of the senior judiciary in certain jurisdictions (of which England and Wales is one) are strongly in favor of this (ADR) use of mediation to settle disputes Prof .Tovey Craig(2010) studied the “Instability in two dimensions’248: Especially he concerns on the classic instability theorems of Euclidean voting theory definitively that treats all cases except that of an even number of voters in 2 dimensions. For that case, all that has been known is that the set of stable configurations is neither measure zero nor measure one. It has been shown from other researchers, that the probability of equilibrium is 0 in three or more dimensions, and in two dimensions when the number of voters is odd. To be more precise, the set of
configurations for which equilibrium exists is measure 0 for these
cases. In contrast, one dimension always admits of an equilibrium249
The case of 2 dimensions with an even number of voters has never been resolved. All that is known is that the set of configurations for which equilibrium exists, and the set for which equilibrium does not exist, both have positive measure. (The first fact can be established
community development. A “sensitized community” is less depended on
the outside decision making centre.
«Sensitization» - as the upper- limit of the sensitization procedure- is been
approached, step by step, especially :
Establishing the «bottom-up approach» in planning development at local level
Analyzing local people «intrinsic inclinations» in respect with a «system value»
Creating a «team psychology» among local people
Creating a «Central Theme» -a «flag»- for motivating local people The proposed procedure may be useful, especially in small rural-isolated-
areas
Indeed, small rural less developed areas are experienced by «poor cycles»,
due to the world existing system, which reproduces dependencies
especially those of a «centre-periphery system». All crucial final decisions
for their development, are made by the centre From this point of view,
benefits addressed to those poor areas are absorbed by the centre.
Besides, the small-and poor- rural areas are burdened by the «negatives»
of «free market» operation.
The presented Model , “The S.H.I.E.L.D Model”, from the initial letters of
«Sensitized Harmonic, Integrated Endogenous Local Development»

by considering 12 n points at the vertices
of a regular polygon on 12 n vertices, and one point at
the polygon's center. The center point is an equilibrium, and small
perturbations of the n2 points do not disturb the equilibrium.
The second fact is established by considering n2 points at the
vertices of
a regular gonn 2 No equilibrium exists, and
nonexistence is unaffected by small perturbations of the n2
points.) In the D2 Euclidean spatial model of voting, n
voter ideal points are located in 2 and voters prefer policies (points) closer to their ideal points under the Euclidean norm. An equilibrium point is one that cannot be dislodged by majority vote.
That is,y
is an equilibrium point if there does not existx
such that strictly more than 2
n of the ideal points are closer to
x than to
y , under the Euclidean norm.
.Besides,
Aldrich John H. (1983)250 examined an individual "calculus of
participation" that is similar to the spatial interpretation of the
"calculus of voting." This calculus is then generalized by examining
conditions that may hold for aggregate activism probabilities, and
the relationship between the two forms is investigated. Some results
are then presented which concern the distributions of activists in
the two parties.
Also, from a quite different point of view, population genetics is a
quantitative of evolutionary biology that is concerned with the
evolution of genetic variation in a population over time. The
locations of the genome which exhibit genetic variation are called
loci (sing. locus), and the variations at these loci are called alleles.
For example, a locus could be a single nucleotide of DNA, with the
set of alleles being the four possible DNA nucleotides. The
distribution of the alleles in a population fluctuates over time due to
the biological processes of mating, mutation, recombination and
natural selection, among other things. The most basic model of
population evolution, the Wright-Fisher model describes the alleles
at a single locus of a population of size N as evolving in discrete
generations, where the alleles in each generation are generated by
community problem as a “market problem” in a global environment; it
provides us with the incentive to find out ways of therapy, or even ways
as to involve the community –as a reaction to globalization phenomenon-
in the bargaining problem; that is the paper contribution, in terms of
sensitizing the community people
From this point of view sensitization, based on knowledge transfer and
knowledge creation in the community may be proved to be a useful
methodological tool and a creative approach to conflict resolution, based
on Nash “no-cooperative game” theory.
It particular, we focuses on the “sensitization process” – a form of
knowledge creation- as the reaction to a given information, which
influences the socioeconomic behavior and therefore, the pure individual
strategies, leading them to a converge. It may be concerned as an
extension to Nash “non cooperative game” theory (win-win model)
according to which, both parties involved in a negotiation may formulate
winning strategies. Community involvement may be seen as a three-way
negotiation.
Taking part in such a negotiation each member of the community should
ask him/her self three questions: “what is the best for me?” “what is the
best for me and for the other?” and “what is the best for me, for the other
and for the Community?” ( as the third, “invisible” part in the bargain).
As individual strategies are going to be converged, then a solid basis may be created for a real cooperation between the members of the community thus maximizing the socioeconomic profit for all the involved parties in a negotiation (win-win-win) the conflict between a single economic system (Globalization) and a
fragmented cultural and political world, creates tendencies on social
capital contemporary dynamics; globalization is marketed by the tension
between global economic and technological interdependence and social
interconnectedness , on the one hand, and cultural fragmentation and
political division on the other (Alberto Martinelli, 2003, p. 293) [Martinelli,
A. 2003, 'Markets, Governments, Communities and Global Governance',
International Sociology, vol.18,n.4, jube 2003:291-324]279.
The world can be conceptualized as a single system but world society does
not exist yet, since there is no normative consensus reflected in commonly
accepted institutions at the world level; and therefore global integration
and governance should not be taken for granted. Globalization s one of the
most distinctive features of the temporary dynamics of capital; this is
especially distinguished in the case of social capital; it has been defined in
many complementary ways as “time-space compression” (Harvey, 1989),
“action of distance” (Giddens, 1990) “accelerated interdependence”
(Ohmae, 1990) and “networking” (Castells, 1998) It can be defined
(Alberto Martinelli, 2003, p. 294) “as a set of related processes that
interconnect individuals, groups, communities, states, markets,
corporations and international governmental and non-governmental
organizations in complex webs of social relations; and, more synthetically,
as the growth of networks of worldwide interdependence .The impressive
literature on globalization can be arranged in a conceptual space with
reference to three mayor axes, i.e “Hyper-globalization vs sceptics” (wich
focuses on degree of novelity of globalization and its impact on nation-
states; “Neo-liberals vs neo-Marxist and radicals (focused on balance of

ACTIVISM:
I found a an activist's guide to making signs, giving speeches, and
convincing others they should support your cause (Effective
Information Distribution for Activists by the Rad Cat Press August

Human Psychology and Reception of Information:
KNOWLEDGE
• New knowledge sticks best to already existing
knowledge. When presenting information, relate it to
commonly known concepts, beliefs, pop-culture, or
images.
• The brain remembers sexual, silly, or humorous
information better than it does other types.
• Different people learn better with different senses. This is
explained later in 'Giving a Presentation.'
APPEAL EMOTIONALLY TO PEOPLE
People are often selfish when dealing with strangers They care a
whole lot about themselves, their friends, and their family, and not a
whole lot about you and your movement (any activist movement)
This is why it is essential that while trying to convince a person to
support your movement, that you connect it to their wants and
needs in some way. How does it impact them, their health, money,
land and loved ones?
A common assumption activists make is that their strong emotions
toward a cause will be shared by everyone else. They believe this to
the extent that they think yelling or aggressively attacking others will
win allies. What these activists forget is that it took themselves a
very long time to arrive at their current set of beliefs. Perhaps it was
growing up in a certain environment such as the forest or city.
Perhaps it was being the black sheep within a family. Perhaps it was
positive-negative globalization impact and its western hegemonic
character on the world; “Homogenization vs heterogeneity and
hybridization (which focuses on the cultural dimension of globalization)
More than one types of a place’s “carrying capacity” (physical, economic,
social, environmental, psychological) explain the “insist” of a place, to
accept people and human activities, beyond the equilibrium point
providing the place with a satisfied level of “quality of life”. Rural places
have the “advantage” of operating below the point: Small size of
population, low infrastructure, human relations, based on more “free
time” and a harmony between physical and technical environment.
(Papakonstantinidis, 1997 : The S.H.I.E.L.D Model”)Usually, rural places are
isolated and depended on decision-making centers. In most of cases, these
centers are interested for maximizing their economic profit, than building
the rural development procedure (Samir Amin, 1971: 189).From the one
hand, one could measure a number of rural development negatives, but
“rural space” is a real “field” of “policy intervention”, through motivating
the “endogenous” human forces locally. But how?
The answer is:Through Sensitizing Local People [ Papakonstantinidis, ISA,
1999 –01)
By the term “sustainable development”, in general, we mean the total of
local
interventions that ensure that the non-renewable natural resources of a
place are not used up. The most characteristic definition is given by the
“Brundtland Committee” report which states that
“Sustainable development is the development that satisfies the needs
of the present without minimizing the ability of the future
generations to satisfy their own” (WCED 1987:2-10). Also:
“Sustainable development is the development which meets the needs
of the present generation, without compromising future generations
to meet their own needs” (Swarbrook J. 1999 : 17)280
Even though the sense of sustainability is very old, in our
days this term has acquired a more general mental meaning in order
to cover the social, sociological, psychological and, particularly, the
cultural aspects of the wearing out of the resources of “admission

facing oppression growing up. Whatever it was, realize that
convincing people that your movement is worth their time is an
involved task and takes time.
NON-VIOLENT COMMUNICATION
Yelling, or speaking violently, rarely, if ever, convinces a person that
they are wrong in an argument. Try your best to call people in, not
out. Positive reinforcement is more effective than negative
reinforcement. It is counter-intuitive, but rewarding a person for
good behavior gives them a reason to exhibit a new behavior,
whereas punishing someone for a bad behavior does nothing
toward showing them an alternative. A person who enters into an
argument with you in anger or violence should first be mediated
with. Your goal is to calm them down by openly listening to their
needs without reacting in argument, criticism, or judgment. Ask
questions. You can state your side once they have calmed down.
If you do need to call a person out, do so speaking from your needs
and observable facts, not with guilt, humiliation, shame, blame,
coercion, or threats.
Questions are good because it shows that you want to understand
the other person and makes it less likely they will go into a
staunchly defensive mode of speaking. Many times people are
unaware of how their actions impact others, and just need a friendly
wake up call. Those who ignore or mock your desire for change
probably will not alter their behavior. It may be best to not waste
your time on these individuals.
To approach the activists’ behavior must be distance oneself, from both of those activists whose behavior may be predicated on their potential for changing the party materially and the careerist, whose cost-benefit calculations are so vastly different. Activists here are partisans because they desire to see the party realize its goals; they want to support the party, not change it. In additional it is assumed that activists contribute to only one party, not to both simultaneously. Finally, the decision to become an activist is a potentially long-term commitment, a "standing decision." To be sure, the decision to become involved in a specific campaign will depend upon the particular set of candidates standing for election at that particular time and place253. But, the "partisan" part of the decision emphasizes that the "standing decision" depends on where and for what the party stands. The Riker-Ordeshook calculus254 is more obviously relevant in this setting. Since they show that no rational citizen would vote for the less preferred candidate, their calculus swings on the turnout decision, leading to their famous
equation: CDPBR where R = "Reward" for
areas” (WTO 1995).
What is generally acceptable is that the examination and
evaluation of the conditions of sustainable development requires the
consideration of the economic, social and ecological systems within a
unified analysis framework at the same time.
The new approach of sustainable development is based on the need
for convergence of the environmental development policies and
combines three individual pursuits :
The efficiency of economy
Social equity and justice
Environmental protection
The search for the relation between local management and sustainable
development follows four different approaches [ Swarbrook]:
The socioeconomic environment, given by the constraints of the
“new economy”, in a more complicated outlook (complementary and
multifold basis).
The “integration of activities”, in the concept of sustainable local
development, where viability focuses on the preservation-extension
of local activities, under an integrated form, in the long run.
The environmental, in the sense of ecologically sustainable local
development, where viability focuses on the used natural resources.
The cultural, in the sense of a cultural sustainable local development,
i.e tradition, the ethic, the climate conditions of the local population
[Friedman-Weaver: 92 ]
The local resources are not renewable (human & cultural resources &
environment).
The “socioeconomic environment” in the framework of a “new economy”
system defines the wide-range targets of a local management
intervention, towards local people welfare [Agnes Gannon: 111]281 :
- the self-feeding local development activities
- the preserving of the non-renewable natural resources
- the safekeeping of the natural and human environment
- the safekeeping/reproduction of the cultural being
- the preserving of the sociological and psychological tissue
- the safekeeping of the natural-cultural individuality

BEHAVIOR255 Behavior modeling
Behavior modeling James E Mazur (2005) suggests two different theories about punishment is the negative law of effect/ matching law (Rachlin & Herrnstein, 1969) and the avoidance theory of punishment (e.g., Dinsmoor, 1954, 1977). The negative law of effect is simply the view that reinforcement and punishment have opposite effects on behavior: reinforcement strengthens behavior and punishment weakens behavior. The avoidance theory (Myerson and Sandra Hale 1984) of punishment takes a different approach. According to Herrnstein the matching law, choices are distributed according to rates of reinforcement for making those choices. An instance of this for two choices can be stated mathematically
as 21

RR
R

where R1 and R2 are rates of response for two alternative responses, and r1 and r2 are rates of reinforcement for the same two responses. Similarly for the punishment, where the equation has opposite sign
Rational Behavior
Rational behavior for a consumer’ definition (Simon H. “1955).
Generally speaking, interaction behavior is an important indicator of the underlying relationship between individuals (Clark E Moustakas 1956) In a Model of rational behavior for a consumer (a typical games theory / bargaining application), we assume a consumer faces a choice of n commodities labeled 1,2,...,n each with a market price p1, p2,..., pn. The consumer is assumed to have a cardinal utility function U (cardinal in the sense that it assigns numerical values to utilities), depending on the amounts of commodities x1, x2,..., xn consumed. The model further assumes that the consumer has a budget M which is used to purchase a vector x1, x2,..., xn in such a way as to maximize U(x1, x2,..., xn). The problem of rational behavior in this model then becomes an optimization problem, that is:

This model has been used in “general equilibrium theory, partculary to show the existence and “Pareto efficiency”256of economic equilibria
1.1 Social transformations impact on community due to Globalization Some “social transformations impact on the community” points are
accurate as:
“Globalization of economies without global rules may lead to a gap between market economy and human society” (Warlas, 1980) Indeed this gap is nowadays obvious, even if sizes are better than decades before, due to new technologies. But
“New technologies “attack” to “space” and “time” variables toward eliminating them’ (Riccardo Petrella, 2001)282
“State” substance trends to retreat, under the globalization of economies phenomenon “...each big city follows a global metropolitan strategy breaking down traditional links with its state operation...” (R. Petrella, 2001)
the meaning of “active citizens” who participate both in planning and achieving the development procedure may be rather an utopia, than a real situation [Papakonstantinidis, 2002 & 2003]
People have , nowadays much more than one choices, to meet their needs [ the “McDonalts syndrome” (Papakonstantinidis, 2000) ] as the result of a production –consumption far from meeting real needs- the “market society” (Zahareas, 1986)
During the globalization procedure, people more and more feel “placeless” without a real point of concern, as they are more and more depended on markets (T.Meyer, 2000)
“Space” “State”, “Regions” definitions nowadays may be
impossible under “placeless conditions”, due to “market economy”
followed by their dependencies on money market all over the world.

In the opposite, under those conditions, may be easier, the “territory-community” term to be defined, as “the political alternative position” to economies globalization phenomenon for the reasons of the lack of “global rules” or even a minimum of “bargaining ethic” (Marinoff 1999)
“Territory-community” , the first “family after” organizational unit, had not highlighted under now; it has been characterized in fluent literature [[ MacGaffey Jannet (1987), Robertson C. (1997), Osirim Mary J (2003), Katseli Luca (1979) House-Midamba B. and Ekechi F (1995), Kamitza R (1994) Horn Nancy (1994)] as the “informal sector” of the economy
Development trends in the last decades of the 20th century and early the
21st reflect two contrasting features: The first is sustained improvement
in the living conditions in many countries captured by declining mortality
rates, rising per capita incomes better nutrition, improved education
levels, a more impartial judicial and legal system and broader civil and
political freedom (at least before “September 11” event). It is being

Interactive Behavior
Interaction is a kind of action that occurs as two or more objects have an effect upon one another. The idea of a two-way effect is essential in the concept of interaction, as opposed to a one-way causal effect. “ A kind of groups action, having an impact output on status organizing processes in decision making in other groups whose members differ in external status (Berker J, Cohen, Zeldich 1972 Jun)257 or even,,, “the kind of action which describes conditions influencing the display of gender-related behavior is presented as a supplement to existent models of sex differences. (Deaux, Kay; Major 1987) A closely related term is interconnectivity which deals with the interactions of interactions within systems: combinations of many simple interactions can lead to surprising emergent phenomena. Interaction has different tailored meanings in various sciences Interaction behavior is an important indicator of the underlying relationship between individuals. On the basis of overt behavior we often make inferences and interpretations and arrive at an understanding of its meaning and significance for the individuals involved. This kind of knowledge is possible when we have accurate presentations and descriptions of observable behavior.
Bargaining Behavior
Bargain is defined as a form of energy (Papakonstantinidis, 2002, Aug) between two distinguishable entities with different expectations and controversial interests, where each part intends to sovereign. Another definition (Uchendu, Victor(1967) is “Bargaining or haggling is a type of negotiation in which the buyer and seller of a good or service dispute the price which will be paid and the exact nature of the transaction that will take place, and eventually come to an agreement Bargainers’ behaviour is shaped by many factors, but instrumental rationality may be the dominant criterion. At any case, recent literature provides us with the relation between knowledge and behavior.Practically, the social relationship “imitates” the survival conflict in Nature, which presupposes the distinguish entities separate acquired independent presence and action, in a whole “planet system” based on complementarity solidarity, and altruism This action is directed by the motive of gaining an individual profit. (Nash J.F Nasar & Kuhn, 2001) As for the tendency to conflict, it: refers to the tendency to competition (Spais, Papakonstantinidis and Papakonstantinidis, 2009) between the two parts of the bargain with different expectations and controversial interests, results from the combination: a. the case of the distinguishable entity, b. mistrust of each distinguishable entity and c. tendency to improvement. Based on the above, the motive of individual benefit leads with mathematic precision to the conflict, the tendency to sovereignty and from there to a competition climate, which is the corner stone of our economic system. The bargaining problem is about a two-person bargaining situation involves two individuals (Von Neumann and Morgenstern, 1947), who have the opportunity, either to be competitors to each other (win-lose), or to make coalitions, or even to create pure individual
increasingly recognized that development is about the quality of people’s
lives and expansion of their ability to shape their own futures. It involves
more equitable education and job opportunities, greater gender equality
better health and nutrition cleaner and more sustainable natural
environment (World Bank Report, 2000)
The second feature consists of setback to real terms of the development
due to wealth concentration, regional and local inequalities , the absolute
poverty in large parts of the planet, lack of food and medical care in these
parts, increasingly children mortality, increasingly economic migration
trends, dramatic climate changes, due to human activities, armed
conflicts, terms confusion: The last one consists what is nowadays called
“numbers against welfare”, due to different messages [ the “new-speak”
of our Information Age” ].
To start with “development” it is necessary to redefine it, in the frame of
the “New Age of Globalization and Information” conditions: Definitions
given during the industrial Age are not accepted in the post-industrial
period; what kind of development is needed, now? A higher per capita
income via economic growth should be an objective of the economic
policy, under the new conditions? How market should eliminate the
increasingly inequalities and / or restore environmental parameters? How
technological changes should contribute in a more equal wealth
distribution , or in a global welfare? These are some questions , or
challenges for the development planners. They have, firstly, to redefine
the “field” of their planning intervention policy For example, what “area”
is in the “New Age” ? The “cybern-space could be included? What a
regional area is? The expansion of big cities or the metropolitan centers
provides us with new data, about terms as “regional”, or “local” defined
during the industrial period. Terms as “territory”, “place”, “community”
“space” “spatial analysis” etc defined during the industrial period for the
specific needs of industrial development have no mean in the post-
industrial period Industrial Age provided us with a more clear terms
definitions “Space is defined by the relations between people who live in a
place” (Perroux 1955) But nowadays the “fictitious workers” for example
living in Tokyo offer their “job” in New York City, through the cyberspace.
These people are closer to “job” environment than home Besides
“economic dualism” in those cases must be excluded People in U.S,
usually offer their work in a different State from those where they live.
They take the plane every day, to go to their jobs. People usually spend
more and more hours per day in the “enterprise environment” than home
The have no “free time” They are used to concern job as home and home
as job, with impact on family life (Schor J,2001 ) It is therefore estimated
that a definition gap really exists. From this point of view, development
planners have to redefine fundamental terms as “territory-community” in
the frame of New Age conditions for development planning and policy.

strategies, based on bargainers’ instant reflection behavior (win-win) (Nash, 1950; Arrow and Debreu, 1954; Aumann, 1987; Crawford, 1997 Nash (1951) focused on payoff shares/utilities combination. Bargain may result in either agreement or disagreement (Nash, Nasar and Kuhn, 2001). Utility expresses the constraint or the “fear factor” of disagreement for the negotiator who desires negotiations to be led in agreement more than the other one. Who needs more, negotiation leading to an agreement expects more utility, but – probably has been a central research topic in economics for over five decades and has become an interesting issue in many fields in recent years.
Bargaining has been a central research topic in economics for over five decades and has become an interesting issue in many fields in recent years. Bargaining is the central mechanism employed to set the terms of a cooperation and/or exchange in order coordination and solution to be achieved between/among the parties. Consequently, there is growing interest in the literature from different fields that can help improve the effectiveness and efficiency of bargaining solutions analyses. Especially the two person bargaining problem is a problem of understanding how two agents should cooperate when non-cooperation leads to Pareto-inefficient results. It is in essence an equilibrium selection problem; Researchers can offer insights and frameworks to help policy-makers, managers and other protagonists It is obvious that win-win-win could introduce a “new concept of behavior which is closer to activism, than to “marketer’s patterns
MARKET PATTERNS258 Market Patterns describe the business and explain the general pattern of change of the particular market model indicating how this change is likely to impact business operations. Hypothesize the basic short-run and long-run behaviors of the model in the business you have chosen in a “market economy.” They have to provide support for your assumptions and conclusions. Researching the company, collect costs, revenue data, other data from the business or that you deem relevant. Explain how you would modify the data in order to make it relevant to decisions a manager must make. They have to explain the major factors that affect the degree of competitiveness in your business. Use the data to develop at least three (3) measures (e.g., productivity measures) to show how the
drugs, sex-fear , guns, commercialized childhood, sadism against children,
school transformation in a “directed amnesia” & values & esthetic &
ethic nihilism is going to its end (George Steigner, 1999 “Grammars of
Creation”). Social transformations are going in the frame of trends of
nihilism (zero trends) ; “there is not exist a global economy without global
rules” (Warlas, 1990); in his “Grammars of Creation” , Steigner introduces
the dilemma: “we need more answers, or questions? Maths and Physics
provide us with answers, but philosophy may be the only one which
provides us with “questions”; and nowadays we need more questions,
than answers...” People in the most developed countries try to escape to
astrology, even for political decisions making ; but history has run more
speed than predicted: If Winston Churchill was a horse -fighter , early the
20th century, then fifty years later had to use an hydrogen-bomb against
his enemies and fifty years later –early the 21st century we are called to
face the “assymetric war” in context with the “religious-fontamelism” born
by a two-poles conception, according to which people and ideas have

Provide support for your rationale. Recommend a pricing policy for the business you chose. Assess how your pricing policy maximizes profits for the business. Finally, the have to provide support for your rationale. Alternative Dispute Resolution:
ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) is generally classified into at
least four types: negotiation, mediation, collaborative law, and
arbitration (Sometimes a fifth type, conciliation, is included as well,
but for present purposes it can be regarded as a form of mediation
ADR can be used alongside existing legal systems such as “sharia”
courts within common law jurisdictions such as the UK.
ADR traditions vary somewhat by country and culture. There are
significant common elements which justify a main topic, and each
country or region's difference should be delegated to sub-pages.
Alternative Dispute Resolution is of two historic types. First,
methods for resolving disputes outside of the official judicial
mechanisms Second, informal methods attached to or pendant to
official judicial mechanisms. There are in addition free-standing and
or independent methods, such as mediation programs and ombuds
offices within organizations. The methods are similar, whether or
not they are pendant, and generally use similar tool or skill sets,
which are basically sub-sets of the skills of negotiation.
ADR includes informal tribunals, informal mediative processes,
formal tribunals and formal mediative processes. The classic formal
tribunal forms of ADR are arbitration (both binding and advisory or
non-binding) and private judges (either sitting alone, on panels or
over summary jury trials). The classic formal meditative process is
referral for mediation before a court appointed mediator or
mediation panel. Structured transformative mediation as used by
the U.S. Postal Service is a formal process. Classic informal methods
include social processes, referrals to non-formal authorities (such as
a respected member of a trade or social group) and intercession.
The major differences between formal and informal processes are
(a) pendency to a court procedure and (b) the possession or lack of a
formal structure for the application of the procedure.
For example, freeform negotiation is merely the use of the tools
philosophy, but the legitimacy of many such applications is much more controversial. The first incompleteness theorem: Any effectively generated theory capable of expressing elementary arithmetic cannot be both consistent and complete In particular, for any consistent, effectively generated formal theory that proves certain basic arithmetic truths, there is an arithmetical statement that is true, but not provable in the theory. EXAMPLE: For each consistent formal theory T having the required small amount of number theory, the corresponding Gödel sentence G asserts: "G cannot be proved within the theory T". This interpretation of G leads to the following informal analysis If G were provable under the axioms and rules of inference of T, then T would have a theorem, G, which effectively contradicts itself, and thus the theory T would be inconsistent. This means that if the theory T is consistent then G cannot be proved within it, and so the theory T is incomplete. Moreover, the claim G makes about its own un-provability is correct. In this sense G is not only un-provable but true, and provability-within-the-theory-T is not the same as truth. The formal proof reveals exactly the hypotheses required for the theory T in order for the self-contradictory nature of G to lead to a genuine contradiction The second incompleteness theorem, an extension of the first, shows that such a system cannot demonstrate its own consistency. Given that the consistency of a system can be proven outside of the given formal system, Gödel says, The Second Incompleteness Theorem One big reason for the expressed disconnect is that Gödel’s theorems are about formal axiom systems of a kind that play no role in daily mathematical work.

B. SECOND: there are forms like the “peer pressure” introduced in
countries like Bangladesh GRAMEEN BANK Muhammad Yunus)
:“….There are several barriers to entry in the lending business in
developing countries, many of which have to do with the information
advantages that incumbent moneylenders have over potential entrants. To
begin, the local moneylender is intimately familiar with his clientele, and
this gives him a huge information advantage over a bank officer in
selecting reliable loan recipients.
At the same time, the moneylender is in a very good position to monitor
borrowers since he can check up on their activities daily.
Local moneylenders are also familiar with village customs and practices
and can offer useful business advice; they are also in a good position to
provide informal insurance to the loan recipients, too, since they know
when a nonperforming loan is caused by outside causes, like bad weather,
and when laziness is the cause.
Finally, moneylenders operate at a much smaller scale than Citibank does. Most of these loans are minuscule by Western standards, and Citibank just is not set up to handle tiny investments, even if they are potentially very profitable.
These factors -- selection costs, monitoring costs, local experience, insurance and inappropriate scale -- conspire to create a virtual monopoly for the moneylender. Even moneylenders from neighboring villages might find it hard to compete with someone who has an intimate knowledge of a particular village's inhabitants. The result is tens of thousands of tiny monopolies and many profitable projects that are never undertaken because of the high cost of borrowing.

without any process. Negotiation within a labor arbitration setting is
the use of the tools within a highly formalized and controlled
setting.
Calling upon an organizational ombudsman's office is never, by
itself, a formal procedure. (Calling upon an organizational
ombudsman is always voluntary; by the International Ombudsman
Association Standards of Practice, no one can be compelled to use
an ombuds office.)
Organizational ombuds offices refer people to all conflict
management options in the organization: formal and informal,
rights-based and interest-based. But, in addition, in part because
they have no decision-making authority, ombuds offices can,
themselves, offer a wide spectrum of informal options.
An organizational ombudsman (OO) is a designated neutral or
impartial dispute resolution practitioner whose major function is to
provide independent, impartial, confidential and informal assistance
to managers and employees, clients and/or other stakeholders of a
corporation, university, non-governmental organization,
governmental agency or other entity. As an independent and neutral
employee, the organizational ombudsman ideally should have no
other role or duties. This is in order to maintain independence and
neutrality, and to prevent real or perceived conflicts of interest259.
Using an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) sensibility, an
organizational ombudsman provides options for people with
concerns, including whistleblowers, who seek to bring their concerns
forward safely and effectively. Additionally, an organizational
ombudsman offers coaching on ethics and other management
issues, provides mediation to facilitate conflict resolution, helps
enable safe upward feedback, assists those who feel harassed and
discriminated against. Overall, the organizational ombudsman helps
employees and managers navigate bureaucracy and deal with
concerns and complaints.
The organizational ombudsman role has evolved from at least two
sources: a) an evolution from the concept of the 'classical'
ombudsman and b) a spontaneous creation and re-invention——of
But there is hope. About 25 years ago Muhammad Yunus, a Bangladeshi economist trained in the United States, developed a lending model that managed to overcome these kinds of barriers. His business model for microcredit has been immensely successful, spawning imitators the world over.
Most of these lenders are nonprofits, but they are self-supporting nonprofits, which do not require subsidies or loan guarantees. There are even a few for-profit enterprises experimenting with the Yunus microcredit model.
Mr. Yunus put his plan into effect through an institution he called the Grameen Bank.
The critical feature of the program is that a candidate for a loan must form a group with four other people who are not family members. Two members of the group originally receive a loan, and if they do well, the others then receive loans.
The borrowers are encouraged to assist each other, and all loan disbursements and repayments are made publicly, in front of other groups. Loans are always for one year, at a fixed interest rate of 20 percent, and they are always for modest amounts: no more than a few hundred dollars
The borrowers use the loans to buy looms, chickens, cows and make other small capital investments. They start repaying the loan two weeks after getting it, and once they have repaid the initial loan, they are allowed to apply for new ones.
How does this business model solve the information problems described above? First, take the selection problem. The Grameen design provides strong incentive for good borrowers to join together, since they don't want to risk losing a loan because of one failure or troublemaker. The fact that they cannot join with other family members removes one sort of pressure to dilute group quality.
Second, the members of the group have an incentive to monitor one another's activities actively. They can provide advice, assistance, education and, if necessary, insurance. The group members themselves are in the best position to know whether a recipient is slacking off or has just had a run of bad luck, and they have great incentives to monitor their behavior in an honest and helpful way.
Third, all of this selection, monitoring, educating and insuring is done not by high-paid professionals, but by Bangladeshi peasants. The transactions costs of using groups are far, far lower than are the transactions costs for traditional bank loans.
There are other interesting economic angles. Over 90 percent of the borrowers are women. This isn't so much an ideological choice as a pragmatic one -- women turned out to be better credit risks. They were more tightly tied to the home and had fewer outside temptations, so they focused much more intently than did male borrowers on completing their projects.
All this seems to work. The bank says it has a repayment rate of 99 percent, and over 92 percent of the bank's shares are owned by the borrowers. Peer pressure can be an immensely strong force, and the Grameen Bank has figured out how to make it work in the cause of

the idea of an internal, neutral conflict resolver——often by senior
managers who had never heard of the classical model.
Evolution from the classical model: the classical ombudsman
appeared in Sweden in the early 19th century as an independent
high-level public official responsible to the parliament or legislature
and appointed by constitutional or legislative provisions to monitor
the administrative activities of government. This model has been
copied and also adapted in many ways in many countries and
milieus.
The spontaneous creation model: the organizational ombudsman
role has also been regularly "re-invented" by employers who did not
know of the classical ombudsman but valued the importance of a
senior manager who is a neutral, independent, confidential and
informal problem-solver and systems change agent. Examples
appeared in the 1920s in the US and probably appeared here and
there in many cultures. In many organizations the organizational
ombudsman is seen as part of a complaint system or link to a
complaint system, but the office is intended to function, and to
appear to function, independently from all regular line and staff
management
This spectrum is often overlooked in contemporary discussions of
"ADR." "ADR" often refers to external conflict management options
that are important, but used only occasionally. An organizational
ombuds office typically offers many internal options that are used in
hundreds of cases a year. These options include:
delivering respect, for example, affirming the feelings of a
visitor, while staying explicitly neutral on the facts of a case,
active listening, serving as a sounding board,
providing and explaining information, one-on-one, for
example, about policies and rules, and about the context of a
economic development.
Experiments elsewhere haven't been uniformly successful. In some countries, the poverty stricken do not have enough group solidarity to provide the necessary discipline. In more urban settings, it may be difficult to find appropriate small-scale investments. But there are numerous successful operations inspired by the Grameen bank.
One program, Project Enterprise, runs a Grameen-type program for minority entrepreneurs in New York.
To answer the question posed in the first paragraph: Citibank and other Western banks are well aware of the Grameen model. In 1999 the Citigroup Foundation donated $1 million to the program.
Citibank, along with others, is currently experimenting with micro-lending in India and other developing countries. Multinational banks may yet find ways to break the moneylenders' monopolies and finance micro-investment in poor countries.
Access to capital is critical for economic development. Grameen and its many offspring, both nonprofit and for-profit, offer an exciting model for alleviating poverty287.
C. THIRD we introduce the concept of “arbitration game” which
has been analyzed by excellent researchers 288
ARBITRATION and the “win-win-win”: In a practical level,
“arbitration" has an incremental role in the "win-win-win
papakonstantinidis model" Indeed, the 3rd bargainer
(Community-the "C" factor ) could be recognized as an "neutral
arbitrator" in dispute between two (A-B) bargainers
In additional the "C" factor has an active overall role in a 2-
poles "bargain" due to its acceptance (its rules) by A-B
bargainers

concern,
receiving vital information, one-on-one, for example,
from those reporting unacceptable or illegal behavior,
reframing issues,
helping to develop and evaluate new options for the
issues at hand,
offering the option of referrals to other resources, to
"key people" in the relevant department, and to managers and
compliance offices,
helping people help themselves to use a direct approach,
for example, helping people collect and analyze their own
information, helping people to draft a letter about their issues,
coaching and role-playing,
offering shuttle diplomacy, for example, helping
employees and managers to think through proposals that may
resolve a dispute, facilitating discussions,
offering mediation inside the organization,
"looking into" a problem informally,
facilitating a generic approach to an individual problem,
for example instigating or offering training on a given issue,
finding ways to promulgate an existing policy,
identifying and communicating throughout the
organization about "new issues,"
identifying and communicating about patterns of issues,
working for systems change, for example, suggesting new
policies, or procedures,
Informal referral to a co-worker known to help people work out
issues is an informal procedure. Co-worker interventions are usually
informal.
Conceptualizing ADR in this way makes it easy to avoid confusing
tools and methods (does negotiation once a lawsuit is filed cease to
be ADR? If it is a tool, then the question is the wrong question) (is
mediation ADR unless a court orders it? If you look at court orders
and similar things as formalism, then the answer is clear: court
annexed mediation is merely a formal ADR process).
Bargaining:
They analyzed simple arbitration procedure which is a multi-
stage variant of Nash's demand game. In the absence of
discounting, all Nash equilibria of the game yield the
egalitarian solution in the first stage. The crucial feature of
their arbitration procedure is that, in the case of incompatible
demands, the game is allowed to continue and the player who
demands the higher gain over the disagreement point is penalized
by restricting her or his feasible demands in the following
stage. Suitable modifications of the arbitration game yield the
lexicographic extension of the egalitarian solution, resp. the
proportional solutions.
The arbitration game is considered that it is a multi-stage
variant of Nash's demand game. The first stage is the same as in
Nash's demand game, but the game continues in the case of
incompatible demands. The player who demands the higher gain over
the disagreement point is penalized in the second stage. In
particular, the disagreement point is moved by guaranteeing the
player with the lower demand her or his demanded utility, and the
resulting new ideal point provides - as before - the upper bound
for the players' demands. This restriction seems to be reasonable
and plausible in order to penalize the player who asked for "too
much" in the case of incompatible demands. The game continues
until either the game stops after a finite number of stages or
there is "perpetual incompatibility," in which case the
disagreement outcome is implemented. We show that in the absence
of discounting all Nash equilibria of the arbitration game lead
to the egalitarian bargaining solution in the first stage.
Since a buyer will seek to deduct any shortfall from the purchase price,
calculating the true-up can be particularly contentious.
Earn-out provisions are often used by buyers to finance deals that require
less cash up front.
An earn-out is a contingent element of the purchase price that is
determined post-closing based on a target's performance against
contractually defined benchmarks.
The structure of an earn-out, however, creates disputes over control,
business decisions, and accounting practices.
SO, it a few basic strategies that can help private equity firms mitigate the
risk of post-acquisition disputes are outlined.
Thorough due diligence should be conducted at each stage of the
acquisition, with particular scrutiny on the seller's interim balance sheet.
Companies should agree on the accounting policies and methods that the
deal is based on. For example, the parties should explicitly discuss target
working capital and how it will be calculated prior to signing the merger
agreement.
Further, buyers should retain a copy of all the accounting records that
could be used to resolve a dispute.

The egalitarian solution
The complexity and compressed time frame of most acquisitions
precludes private equity firms from foreseeing and preempting all
potential issues.
If disputes emerge, buyers should evaluate potential resolution tools
based on the type of dispute and the dollar amount under consideration.
The mediator conducts “shuttle diplomacy” between the two parties until
a settlement is reached.
Arbitration can represent the best path to an informed ruling in complex
cases that can be misunderstood by juries.
Arbitration is often used for disputes involving more substantial claims
that relate to such issues as benefit of the bargain, fraud, and
representations and warranties.
For claims that arise from accounting-related disputes, such as working-
capital true-ups and earn-outs, companies may opt to retain a neutral
accounting arbiter to adjudicate the dispute.
It is suggested that alternative dispute resolution can be used to
prevent disputes advancing to litigation.
Mediation is used as a means to avoid more costly litigation. In this non-
binding process, the companies agree on a judge, an attorney or an
accountant to help them reach a settlement.

Clearly, 1a leads to the egalitarian solution.
The relationship between axiomatic bargaining solutions and equilibria of strategic models has first been studied by Nash (1953) in his pioneering paper. He considers a strategic model of bargaining that supports his axiomatic solution, namely, the Nash (1950) bargaining solution. His game consists of a single stage in which the two players simultaneously announce "demands" in terms of utilities. If these demands are compatible given the set of feasible utility vectors, then each player receives the amount he or she demanded; otherwise the disagreement event occurs. This game has many Nash equilibria. In order to refine the set of equilibria, Nash further considers a perturbed demand game and shows that if the disagreement outcome is excluded, the only equilibrium that is robust with respect to certain perturbations in the structure of the game yields the Nash bargaining solution. The refinement used by Nash bears some similarity to Selten's (1975) "trembling hand"260 perfection. Nash's demand game has been extended and modified in other contributions. For example, Binmore (1987) has proposed a bargaining game of alternating offers and shown that the Nash bargaining solution is the limit of the unique subgame- perfect equilibrium of his game as the probability of the negotiation process breaking down approaches zero. Carlsson (1991) has studied a variation of the perturbed demand game by assuming that the players make errors in choosing their actions in the bargaining process. He shows that the equilibrium outcome converges to the Nash solution when errors go to zero. Osborne and Rubinstein (1990, Ch. 4) have provided more detailed discussions on these extensions. The purpose of all these studies is to examine the strategic foundations of cooperative bargaining solutions. In most

KENNETH ARROW
BRIEF REVIEW
THE MAIN QUESTION: How do rational citizens decide how and whether to vote in two-candidate (or two-party) elections?;
Arrow supports wit h math argumentation, that voting can be regarded as
a method of arriving at social choices derived from the preferences of
individuals. It is impossible to formulate a social preference ordering that
satisfies all of the following conditions:
We have to repeat the “hypothetic example of the “social experiment”
1. Non-dictatorship: The preferences of an individual should not
become the group ranking without considering the preferences
of others.
2. Individual Sovereignty: each individual should be able to order
the choices in any way and indicate ties
3. Unanimity: If every individual prefers one choice to another,
then the group ranking should do the same
4. Freedom From Irrelevant Alternatives: If a choice is removed,
then the others' order should not change
5. Uniqueness of Group Rank: The method should yield the same
result whenever applied to a set of preferences. The group
ranking should be transitive.

cases, justifications of the Nash solution are obtained. Another interesting cooperative bargaining solution is the egalitarian solution developed by Kalai (1977) and Myerson (1977). Without using Nash's axiom of independence of scale of utility they have provided alternative axioms under which interpersonal comparisons of utility must be possible. These axioms lead to the proportional solution and, in a symmetric bargaining situation, the egalitarian solution. One of the main axioms in this approach is a monotonicity axiom with respect to expansions of the feasible set. An alternative is a condition that involves a step-by-step negotiation process. This axiom imposes an invariance condition under decomposition of the bargaining process into several stages. As Kalai and Myerson pointed out, step-by-step negotiation has at least two advantages. First, it makes it easier to implement a solution since the negotiation can be broken up into several stages. Second, the players do not have incentives to change the order of the negotiations. This process is likely to be observed in actual negotiations.-see below

TREMPLING HAND (SELTEN)261
In GAME THEORY trembling hand perfect equilibrium is a
refinement of Nash equilibrium due to R. Selten A trembling hand
perfect equilibrium is an equilibrium that takes the possibility of off-
the-equilibrium play into account by assuming that the players,
through a "slip of the hand" or tremble, may choose unintended
strategies, albeit with negligible probability.

He proved that they cannot apply both “cohesion” and “completeness” Based on this, if you accept the coherence of "Theorem Impossible" then it must be admitted simultaneously, the "incompleteness" of this theorem So, if you accept the "completeness" then-according to Gödel, you cannot accept the "consistency" of this Theorem Let us first sketch the main intuition for the proof, without going into detail and of course without claiming to be exact. The formulae of a formal system (we will restrict ourselves to the PM here) can be viewed syntactically as finite sequences of the basic symbols (variables, logical constants, and parentheses or separators), and it is easy to define precisely which sequences of the basic symbols are syntactically correct formulae and which are not. Similarly, proofs are formally nothing else than finite sequences of formulae (with specific definable properties). Of course, it is irrelevant for meta-mathematical observations what signs are taken for basic symbols, and so we will chose natural numbers for them. Hence, a formula is a finite sequence of natural numbers, and a proof schema is a finite sequence of finite sequences of natural numbers. The meta-mathematical concepts (theorems) hereby become concepts (theorems) about natural numbers, which makes them (at least partially) expressible in the symbols of the system PM. In particular, one can show that the concepts \formula", \proof schema", \provable formula" are all expressible within the system PM, i.e. one can, for example, come up with a formula

numbers) such that the semantic interpretation of

Informality was recognized as a fourth principle, or pillar of
practice, somewhat later. This happened relatively slowly, over at
least often years, after the first three pillars were widely adopted.
This article briefly describes that process. The article asserts that
informality is an essential principle for the profession as practiced
today — as essential as independence, confidentiality and
neutrality. Without informality, the other three principles of OO
practice could not function in today’s legal climate, and many
managers would find OOs to be interfering with their authority.
Informality permits OOs to offer a very wide variety of informal
options, to all cohorts, and across all organizational boundaries

Second, it is not under consideration some other forms of social
solidarity as for example “social economy”
But “political elections” is a game, a spatial model of electoral
competition. A model of political parties is developed and a general
theorem about the existence of distinct Nash equilibria distributions
of party activists is proven. Candidates are assumed to acquire
resources from the party and its activists and through the
candidate's own campaign organization to assist in their campaign
efforts, and they are assumed to value both winning and policy
outcomes. We then explore the formal properties of this more
general model, especially examining the impact of party-based
resources and of candidate policy preferences on the optimal
location of candidates. We show, in particular, that such positions
will, in general, be divergent, and yet there will be regular
differentiation between the nominees of the two political parties263.
There is a close relation between “political elections” and
“citizenship” and liberal democracy:
Will Kymlicka and Wayne Norman264 note that advanced
democracies can “become difficult to govern, even unstable”
without strong citizenship qualities If so, examining citizenship on
the global periphery would seem to be of particular urgency, given
weak states’ propensity for in-governability and instability.

The answer is, the “Liberal Democracy”, or, simply “ Democracy"
In a "Free Community" people sacrify a part of their "freedom", in order
to obtain another freedom, the "political freedom" which enjoy in a new
Community, the "Political Community"
That means it is run by the people for the people. Citizens in our democracy have rights. For example, we have the right to speak freely, to practice our religion, to vote, and so on. Citizens in a democracy also have responsibilities. One of these responsibilities is to choose our leaders. Another is to keep informed about what is going on with our government. It is also the responsibility of citizens to help make their community and neighborhood good places in which to live.
A democracy needs active citizens in order to work. There are many ways to take part in a democracy. This booklet will deal with three ways to be an active citizen. These three ways are:
Voting
Communicating with Elected Officials
Volunteering
Liberal democracy (bourgeois democracy or) is called a representative
democracy which is based on the principles of political liberalism. This is
the predominant type of democracy after the First World War and was
formed mainly in the 19th century. Foundation of liberal democracy is a
constitution that provides for separation of powers to independent bodies
and guarantee certain individual rights for its citizens, in particular in order
to limit state intervention capabilities in their life. The classical liberal
democracies usually contrasted with the popular democracies,
participatory democracy and direct democracy, while historically an

Mason writes,”..If vigorous notions of citizenship are typically
associated with strong states, it seems intuitive that these same
citizenship attributes would be feebler in weak and failing states.
Still, given the tremendous variation among states, as well as the
multiple theories of citizenship, it is not clear what dimension or
type of citizenship may be associated with overall state weakness.
Many weak states may have insubstantial notions of citizenship as a
consequence of incomplete nation-building projects – this may
dominate explanations of weak citizenship among certain African
nations. Some weaker states may be wracked by the divided and
competing loyalties common in plural societies. Multiple ethnicities
in Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union, for example, exemplify how this
can pose an obstacle to the formation or maintenance of a strong
sense of citizenship and a unified national identity. In Latin America
it is not uncommon to find developing states that are incapable or
unwilling to fulfill basic obligations to its citizens, undermining
society’s loyalty, sense of weakness, and patriotism that characterize
a strong citizenry. In extreme cases of violent internal conflict or
security emergencies, the citizen-state bond may be ruptured
almost entirely. Still others states are challenged by having a
transnational population that has been permanently dispersed by
war or other internal calamity, making the construction of a
citizenship project extremely problematic. Lebanon might be
illustrative of this last dynamic.
What does citizenship look like in relatively weak states, and weak
democracies in particular? Is the idea of the citizenry and the
relation between state and society the same in weak states, only
less developed, or are there operative fundamentally different
definitions of what it means to be a citizen? Are weaker notions of
citizenship necessarily one of the markers of weak and failing states?
If so, what is the causal relation between the two? How relevant are
current theoretical debates to our understanding of the concept of
citizenship in the developing world?
Mason reviewed the principal strains of citizenship theory and the
current theoretical debates, on “Citizenship Classification and
Theory” The conceptual disarray surrounding the concept of
citizenship is familiar territory. She sums it up this way: “There is no
notion more central in politics than citizenship, [yet] none more
variable in history, or contested in theory.” We are all citizens of
somewhere (except for that fellow in The Piano who had the
misfortune of being born on an trans-Atlantic steamer in the
1920’s), but we do not share the same rights and obligations as
citizens. The citizen emerged from democratic philosophy and
practices, and yet citizenship bonds in non-democratic states may be
as strong, or stronger, than in modern democracies. An individual
can be a citizen of more than one country at the same time, yet only
enjoy the rights of a citizen in one of those political communities.
Many comply with the formal political and civic duties of being a
evolution of the constitutional monarchy.
Indeed, the "Liberal –west type- Democracy” provides theoretical-let us
say-- the possibility of reward or punishment / penalty to those who
manage the processes by which the "third win" is fulfilled with the dual
mission : the third player, and the "arbitrator ensure equality, justice, self-
organization and the effectiveness of the" collective "decision
The last, fulfilled through the reward or punishment that is the people (the
Community as a whole) with their vote in elections every 4 or 5 years
Amid the Enlightenment, first the American and then the French
Revolution, was liberal under the request of the abolition of the monarchy
and governance from political representatives, elected by a portion of the
people voting. These representatives could express competing interests
and perceptions within society through their attachment to different
political parties. Shaping this system, the founders of the US state explicitly
rejected direct democracy as an option, believing that it would lead to the
predominance of the most populous lower social classes or in chaotic
disarray and shaped the representative democracy naming the new
constitution "republican" and not "democratic" to refer to the Roman
state of the Hellenistic period
Dimensions of citizenship293
Definitions
The concept of citizenship is composed of three main elements or
dimensions (Cohen 1999)294 The first is citizenship as legal status, defined
by civil, political and social rights. Here, the citizen is the legal person free
to act according to the law and having the right to claim the law's
protection. It need not mean that the citizen takes part in the law's
formulation, nor does it require that rights be uniform between citizens.
The second considers citizens specifically as political agents, actively
participating in a society's political institutions. The third refers to
citizenship as membership in a political community that furnishes a distinct
source of identity.
In many ways, the identity dimension is the least straightforward of the
three. Authors tend to include under this heading many different things
related to identity, both individual and collective, and social
integration.[5] Arguably, this is inescapable since citizens' subjective sense

citizen, yet feel a stronger sense of association with and loyalty to
another type of community. In short, what does it mean to be a
citizen?
In broad strokes, citizenship can be understood in four distinct, yet
overlapping, ways In its least problematic form it is a legal category
related to formal membership in a
Conflated with what is popularly understood as nationality, this
definition of citizenship identifies the political community to which
an individual belongs. This attribution was historically assigned by
virtue of being born in a particular territorial designation, jus soli, or
as the result of a parent’s nationality, jus sanguinis. Just as territorial
boundaries sharply demarcate state sovereignty, so nationality laws
establish strict criteria for distinguishing between citizens and aliens.
Although massive waves of global migration have called for new
citizenship rules, the “politics of citizenship” in receptor states in the
North is such that rigorous legislation related to naturalization, that
determines inclusion in and exclusion from the state, is maintained
This legal definition of citizenship reflects a world order that
privileges the state as the primary political unit, denying, in most
cases, the possibility of citizenship status deriving from non-political
criteria, such as ethnicity or religion, in sub-national or transnational
communities.
Related to this legal definition is the view of citizenship as identity.
This citizenship-as-identity perspective, however, distinguishes
formal membership in a state from an individual’s sense of
association, belonging, and loyalty to a particular community
(Kymlicka and Norman 1995). The collective consciousness
traditionally rooted in culturally homogenous ethno-national
communities has steadily evolved into a modern national identity
based on association with a state organization. Still, for many
individuals a civic national identity associated with the modern
nation-state exists alongside the persistence of national identities
deeply rooted in pre-political cultural associations. But regardless of
the origin, citizenship-as-identity becomes a common denominator
that supersedes competing identifications, embodies collective
allegiance to the political community, and fosters patriotism to the
nation-state, its myths and its symbols (Miller 2000).
A third interpretation of citizenship is as a status, derived from an
individual’s possession of a set of rights and obligations with relation
to the state. This rights-based notion of citizenship has its origins in
the emergence of the modern nation state and the social contract.
The French Revolution marks a turning point in the development of
citizenship models, where for the first time the conception of
citizenship came to mean the rights of citizens against the
absolutism of the monarch, the arbitrariness of state power, and the
legal and political privileges of aristocratic society (Castle and
of belonging, sometimes called the “psychological” dimension of
citizenship (Carens 2000)295 necessarily affects the strength of the political
community's collective identity. If enough citizens display a robust sense of
belonging to the same political community, social cohesion is obviously
strengthened. However, since many other factors can impede or
encourage it, social integration should be seen as an important goal (or
problem that citizenship aims to achieve (or resolve), rather than as one of
its elements. As we will see, one crucial test for any conception of
citizenship is whether or not it can be said to contribute to social
integration.
Relations between the three dimensions are complex: the rights a citizen
enjoys will partly define the range of available political activities while
explaining how citizenship can be a source of identity by strengthening her
sense of self-respect (Rawls 1972)296. A strong civic identity can itself
motivate citizens to participate actively in their society's political life. That
distinct groups within a state do not share the same sense of identity
towards ‘their’ political community (or communities) can be a reason to
argue in favor of a differentiated allocation of rights (Carens 2000)
As we will see, differences between conceptions of citizenship centre
around four disagreements: over the precise definition of each element
(legal, political and identity); over their relative importance; over the
causal and/or conceptual relations between them; over appropriate
normative standards.
Two models of citizenship: republican and liberal
Discussions about citizenship usually have, as their point of reference, one
of two models: the republican or the liberal. The republican model's
sources can be found in the writings of authors like Aristotle, Tacitus,
Cicero, Machiavelli, Harrington and Rousseau, and in distinct historical
experiences: from Athenian democracy and Republican Rome to the Italian
city-states and workers' councils.
The key principle of the republican model is civic self-rule, embodied in
classical institutions and practices like the rotation of offices, underpinning
Aristotle's characterization of the citizen as one capable of ruling and being

Davidson 2000). Implicit in this idea of legal rights was the equality
of these protections, and participation in the democratic process.
Indeed, Kant equated citizen rights with citizen involvement. Thus,
freedom from the state meant a right to the state as well. Citizen
status involves, then, a fundamental set of freedoms, democratic
participation, and the obligation to comply with the directives that
emerge from the democratic process
Gödel’s incompleteness theorems: Consistency, completeness and incompleteness All such formal details are irrelevant to the working mathematician’s use of arguments by induction on the natural numbers, but for the
logician, the way a formal system S is specified can make the
difference between night and day. This is the case, in particular,
concerning the questions whether S is consistent, i.e. no
contradiction is provable from S and whether S is complete,
i.e. every sentence A is decided by S in the sense that
either S proves A or S proves ¬ A
If neither A nor ¬ A is provable in S then A is said to be
undecidable by S , and S is said to be incomplete.
As an example of how matters of consistency and completeness can change dramatically depending on the formalization taken, consider the subsystem of PA obtained by restricting throughout to terms and formulas that do not contain the multiplication symbol ×. That system, sometimes called Presburger Arithmetic, was shown to be complete by Moses Presburger in 1928, and his proof of completeness also gives a finite combinatorial proof of its consistency. Gödel’s discovery in 1931 was that we have a radical
change when we move to the full axiom system PA What Gödel showed was that PA is not complete and that, unlike Presburger Arithmetic, its consistency cannot be established by finite combinatorial means, at least not those that can be formalized
in PA Before going into the mathematical significance of these results, let us take a closer look at how Gödel formulated and established them not only for PA, but also for a very wide class of its extensions
2S To do this he showed that the language of PA is
much more expressively complete than appears on the surface. A
primitive recursive .).( rp function on N
N (in any number of arguments) is a function generated from zero and successor both by explicit definition and definition by recursion
ruled in turn. Citizens are, first and foremost, “those who share in the
holding of office” (Aristotle Politics, 1275a8)297. Civic self-rule is also at the
heart of Rousseau's project in the Contrat Social: it is their co-authoring of
the laws via the general will that makes citizens free and laws
legitimate.[8] Active participation in processes of deliberation and decision-
making ensures that individuals are citizens, not subjects.[9] In essence, the
republican model emphasizes the second dimension of citizenship, that of
political agency.
The liberal model's origins are traceable to the Roman Empire and early-
modern reflections on Roman law (Walzer 1989). The Empire's expansion
resulted in citizenship rights being extended to conquered peoples,
profoundly transforming the concept's meaning. Citizenship meant being
protected by the law rather than participating in its formulation or
execution. It became an “important but occasional identity, a legal status
rather than a fact of everyday life” (Walzer 1989, 215). The focus here is
obviously the first dimension: citizenship is primarily understood as a legal
status rather than as a political office. It now “denotes membership in a
community of shared or common law, which may or may not be identical
with a territorial community” (Pocock 1995, 37). The Roman experience
shows that the legal dimension of citizenship is potentially inclusive and
indefinitely extensible.
The liberal tradition, which developed from the 17th century onwards,
understands citizenship primarily as a legal status: political liberty is
important as a means to protecting individual freedoms from interference
by other individuals or the authorities themselves. But citizens exercise
these freedoms primarily in the world of private associations and
attachments, rather than in the political domain.
At first glance, the two models present us with a clear set of alternatives:
citizenship as a political office or a legal status; central to an individual's
sense of self or as an “occasional identity”. The citizen appears either as
the primary political agent or as an individual whose private activities leave
little time or inclination to engage actively in politics, entrusting the
business of law-making to representatives. If the liberal model of
citizenship dominates contemporary constitutional democracies, the
republican critique of the private citizen's passivity and insignificance is still
alive and well.
Republicans have problems of their own. First and foremost is a concern,

Gödel’s incompleteness theorems To apply these notions to the language and deductive structure of

nowadays called the Gödel number ..ng of .
A relation R between syntactic objects (terms, formulas, etc.) is
said to be .).( rp if the corresponding relation
between ..ng ’s is .).( rp For example, with a basic
finite vocabulary, the sets of terms and wffs 265 are both
often repeated since Benjamin Constant, that their ideal has become
largely obsolete in the changed circumstances of the “grands États
modernes” (Constant 1819). Aiming to realize the original republican ideal
in the present context would be a disaster, as was the Jacobins' attempt
during the French revolution (Walzer 1989, 211). Today's citizens will not
be Romans: first, the scale and complexity of modern states seem to
preclude the kind of civic engagement required by the republican model. If
an individual's chances of having an impact as an active citizen are close to
nil, then it makes more sense for him to commit himself to non-political
activities, be they economic, social or familial. His identity as citizen is not
central to his sense of self and politics is only one of his many interests
(Constant 1819). Second, the heterogeneity of modern states does not
allow the kind of “moral unity” and mutual trust that has been projected
onto the ancient polis, qualities deemed necessary to the functioning of
republican institutions (Walzer 1989). But if ancient virtue is irrecoverable,
the republican model may still act today as “a benchmark that we appeal
to when assessing how well our institutions and practices are
functioning”(Miller 2000, 84). In essence, this involves a reformulation of
the model, questioning some of its original premises while holding onto
the ideal of the citizen as an active political agent.
Instead of opposing the two models, we could reasonably see them as
complementary. Political liberty, as Constant pointed out, is the necessary
guarantee of individual liberty. Echoing Constant, Michael Walzer
considers that the two conceptions “go hand in hand” since “the security
provided by the authorities cannot just be enjoyed; it must itself be
secured, and sometimes against the authorities themselves. The passive
enjoyment of citizenship requires, at least intermittently, the activist
politics of citizens” (Walzer 1989). There are times when individuals need
only be “private citizens” and others when they must become
“private citizens” (Ackermann 1988). But can we expect passive spectators
of political life to become active citizens should the need arise? This is no
easy question and may explain why Constant ended his famous essay by
insisting that the regular exercise of political liberty is the surest means of
moral improvement, opening citizens' minds and spirits to the public
interest, and to the importance of defending their freedoms. Such
habituation underpins their capacity and willingness to protect their

The language of Presburger (P.A) arithmetic contains constants 0
and 1 and a binary function +, interpreted as addition. In this
language, the axioms of Presburger arithmetic are the universal
closures of the following:
¬(0 = x + 1)
x + 1 = y + 1 → x = y
x + 0 = x
x + (y + 1) = (x + y) + 1
Let P(x) be a first-order formula in the language of Presburger
arithmetic with a free variable x (and possibly other free variables).
Then the following formula is an axiom:
)()))1()(()0(( yyPxPxPxP
(5) is an axiom schema of induction, representing infinitely many
axioms. Since the axioms in the schema in (5) cannot be replaced by
any finite number of axioms, Presburger arithmetic (PA) is not
finitely axiomatizable in first-order logic. Presburger arithmetic(PA)
cannot formalize concepts such as divisibility or prime number.
Generally, any number concept leading to multiplication cannot be
defined in Presburger arithmetic, since that leads to incompleteness
and undecidability. However, it can formulate individual instances
of divisibility; for example, it proves "for all x, there exists
nxyyxyyy )1()(: This states that
every number is either even or odd.
Informal and formal axiom systems One big reason for the expressed disconnect is that Gödel’s theorems are about formal axiom systems of a kind that play no role in daily mathematical work. Informal axiom systems for various kinds of structures are of course ubiquitous in practice, viz. axioms for groups, rings, fields, vector spaces, topological spaces, Hilbert spaces, etc., etc.; these axioms and their basic consequences are so

“COMMUNITY” is like the giant “Leviathan” (Thomas Hobbs, 1651)
A robust civil society is widely recognized as being one of the hallmarks of
strong states. The state-society framework that once dominated political
science and viewed state institutions and power as dichotomous from
civilian organizations and social structures has generally given way to a
more inclusive conceptualization of state as incorporating both
components. Measurements of stateness that focused exclusively on the
coercive and extractive powers of the central government’s institutions
are now considered incomplete: a cohesive and activated civil society that
participates in the political process, societal practices and beliefs that
legitimate state institutions, a unifying sense of national identity that
inspires public responsibility and promotes civic-mindedness, and the
citizenry’s loyalty to the state are also crucial determinants of overall state
strength and performance299.

Social dilemmas are situations in which collective interests are at odds with private interestsIn other words, they describe situations in which the fully selfish and rational behavior leads to an outcome smaller than the one the individuals would obtain if they acted collectively. Social dilemmas create then a tension between private interests and public interests, between selfishness and cooperation. Classically, several different social dilemmas have been distinguished, including the Prisoner’s dilemma, Chicken, Assurance, Public Goods, the Tragedy of the Commons , and, more recently, the Traveler’s dilemma . Each of these games has been studied by researchers from different disciplines, as economists, biologists, psychologists, sociologists, and political scientists, because of the intrinsic philophical interest in understanding human nature and since many concrete and important situations, as pollution, depletion of natural resources, and intergroup conflict, can be modelled as social dilemmas.
The classical approaches explain tendency to cooperation dividing people in proself and prosocial types , or appealing to forms of external control or to long-term strategies in iterated social dilemmas But, over the years many experiments have been accumulated to show cooperation even in one-shot social dilemmas without external control These and other earlier experiments have also shown that the rate of cooperation in the same game depends on the particular payoffs, suggesting that most likely humans are engaged in some sort of indirect reciprocity [25], [26] and the same person may behave more or less cooperatively depending on the payoffs.

familiar it is rarely necessary to appeal to them explicitly, but they serve to define one’s subject matter. They are to be contrasted with foundational axiom systems for the “mother” structures--the natural numbers (Peano) and the real numbers (Dedekind)--on the one hand, and for the general concepts of set and function (Zermelo-Fraenkel) used throughout mathematics, on the other. Mathematicians may make explicit appeal to the principle of induction for the natural numbers or the least upper bound principle for the real numbers or the axiom of choice for sets, but reference to foundational axiom systems in practice hardly goes beyond that. One informal statement of the basic Peano axioms for the natural numbers is that they concern a structure (N, 0, s) where 0 is in N, the successor function s is a unary one-one map from N into N which does not have 0 in its range, and the Induction Principle is satisfied in the following form:
(IP) for any property P(x), if P(0) holds and if for all x in N, P(x) implies P(s(x)) then for all x in N, P(x) holds.
“There are many math problems that have achieved the cachet of tremendous significance, e.g. Fermat, 4 color, Kepler’s packing, Gödel, etc. Of Fermat, I have read: ‘the most famous math problem of all time.’ Of Gödel, I have read: ‘the most mathematically significant achievement of the 20th century.’ … Yet, these problems have engaged the attention of relatively few research mathematicians—even in pure math.” What accounts for this disconnect between fame and relevance? Before going into the question for Gödel’s theorems, it should be distinguished in one respect from the other examples mentioned, which in any case form quite a mixed bag. Namely, each of the Fermat, 4 color, and Kepler’s packing problems posed a stand-out challenge following extended efforts to settle them; meeting the challenge in each case required new ideas or approaches and intense work, obviously of different degrees. By contrast, Gödel’s theorems were simply unexpected, and their proofs, though requiring novel techniques, were not difficult on the scale of things. Setting that aside, my view of Gödel’s incompleteness theorems is that their relevance to mathematical logic (and its offspring in the theory of computation) is paramount; further, their philosophical relevance is significant, but in just what way is far from settled; and finally, their mathematical relevance outside of logic is very much unsubstantiated but is the object of ongoing, tantalizing efforts266.

proself and prosocial types becomes extremely difficult, if not even impossible.
From these experiments, we can argue two conclusions: first, the observation of cooperation in one-shot social dilemmas without external controls suggests that the origin of cooperation relies in the human nature; second, the fact that the rate of cooperation depends on the payoffs suggests that it could be computed, at least approximatively, using only the payoffs. The word approximatively stands for the fact that numerous experimental studies have shown that cooperation is based on a number of factors, as family history, age, culture, gender, even university course religious beliefs and decision time Therefore, we cannot expect a theory able to say, given only the payoffs, the individual-level rate of cooperation in a social dilemma. We can expect instead a model predicting quite accurately population average behaviour using the mean value of parameters that could be theoretically updated at an individual-level.

BIBLIOGRAPHY ACCORDING TO THE EXISTING THEORY
The SOCIAL VALERIO CAPRARO: Social dilemmas are situations in which collective interests are at odds with private interests: pollution, depletion of natural resources, and intergroup conflicts, are at their core social dilemmas. Because of their multidisciplinarity and their importance, social dilemmas have been studied by economists, biologists, psychologists, sociologists, and political scientists. These studies typically explain tendency to cooperation by dividing people in proself and prosocial types, or appealing to forms of external control or, in iterated social dilemmas, to long-term strategies. But recent experiments have shown that cooperation is possible even in one-shot social dilemmas without forms of external control and the rate of cooperation typically depends on the payoffs. This makes impossible a predictive division between proself and prosocial people and proves that people have attitude to cooperation by nature. The key innovation of this article is in fact to postulate that humans have attitude to cooperation by nature and consequently they do not act a priori as single agents, as assumed by standard economic models, but they forecast how a social dilemma would evolve if they formed coalitions and then they act according to their most optimistic forecast. Formalizing this idea we propose the first predictive model of human cooperation able to organize a number of different experimental findings that are not explained by the standard model. We show also that the model makes satisfactorily accurate quantitative predictions of population average behavior in one-shot social dilemmas.

Eulerian Path
Definition: An Euler path is a continuous path that passes through every arc once and only once.
Theorem: If a network has more than two odd vertices, it does not have an Euler path.
Theorem: If a network has two or zero odd vertices, it has at least one Euler path. In particular, if a network has exactly two odd vertices, then its Euler paths can only start on one of the odd vertices, and end on the other.
The famous Seven Bridges of Königsberg problem”
The problem of crossing each bridge exactly once reduces to one of traversing the network representing these bridges.
Euler made the remarkable discovery that whether a network is traversable depends on the number of odd vertices. In the Königsberg network, there are an odd number of arcs at point A, so A is called an odd vertex. If the number of arcs meeting at a point is even, the point is called an even vertex. Euler found that the only traversable networks are those that have either no odd vertices or exactly two odd vertices. Since the Königsberg network has four odd vertices, it is not traversable. Therefore, it is not possible to take a walk over the bridges of Königsberg and cross each bridge only once
“win-win-win network” has no odd vertices
So it is traversable

We should imagine human units to react each-other inside any network,

Yet we should consider how we could "pass" by aggressive counter in the
network in cooperation behavioral reactions
The model “win-win-win papakonstantinidis equilibrium” is aimed
precisely at creating behavior that tends to continuous cooperation This
is a perpetual process that has its limit of ultimate cooperation
the conjecture prevails in this study that " the real conversion of
aggression in collaboration behavior is possible in real terms, through the
process of sensitization
Especially nowadays, such a message is strictly necessary
The “win-win-win network” has no odd vertices
So it is traversable

Graph
In the most common sense of the term a graph is an ordered pair
G = (V, E) comprising a set V of vertices or nodes or points together
with a set E of edges or arcs or lines, which are 2-element subsets
of V (i.e. an edge is related with two vertices, and the relation is
represented as an unordered pair of the vertices with respect to the
particular edge). To avoid ambiguity, this type of graph may be
described precisely as undirected and simple301.

Network theory contributes to the suggested “win-win-win”, by

B. Cooperative

where, N is the number of people with wealth higher than x, and A and m are constants. Over the years, Pareto's Law has proved remarkably close to observed data.
It is the basis of the arguments on which the proposal win-win-win is
based The win-win-win does not just point out the value of the triple
benefit in any negotiations between the two, (A-B) assuming that there
is a common interest, or else the Community (C) as a third party but
goes further : seeks to maximize this triple ”win”, in a way
nonnegotiable the maximum point (the triple ”win”) is the equilibrium

UTILITY
FUNCTION
In economics, the utility function measures welfare or satisfaction
of a consumer as a function of consumption of real goods, such as
food, clothing and composite goods rather than nominal goods
measured in nominal terms. Utility function is widely used in the
rational choice theory to analyze human behavior.
(INVESTOPEDIA)
Utility function U(x, y) shows the utility level derived from consuming x and y, where x and y are the quantity of two goods. A utility function can be illustrated in a three-dimensional diagram when there are only two goods.
If there are more than two goods, it is customary to write the utility function,
U(x ,y, z) or U(x1,x2, ..., xn),
where xi is the quantity of good i.
Utility curve shows the relationship between one good and the utility level holding the quantities of all other goods consumed
n-d space as domain
This work raises a very subtle distinction here, that in the same time it is
an objection for world economic system: This work does not accept the
deliberate distinction in consumption of "a" or "b" product
Instead considers that people consume either "knowledge", either / or
"experience"
He considers the dilemma "a" or "b" product is intentionally false (false
dilemma) and misleading
Instead, the proper -in this task- distinction relates to
The knowledge consumers (SENSITIZATION included)
and
The experiences consumers
In the last, the false dilemma posed by the market to maximize its own
benefit (the “a” or “b” product) is included
As a result,
This work does not interfere there but spoke to the point that created
the so-called social (for others "class") problem How is created?
Generated when the attempt by "A" to achieve of his individual
satisfaction hinders the efforts of "B" to satisfy his own individual
interest: The basic idea at this point is that
[Type text]
papakonstantinidis Page 176
Consumption
EXAMPLE
To postulate the utility function, economists typically make
assumptions about the human preferences for different goods. For
example, in certain situations, tea and coffee can be considered
perfect substitutes of each other and the appropriate utility
function must reflect such preferences with a utility form of u(c, t) =
c + t, where "u" denotes the utility function and "c" and "t" denote
coffee and tea. A consumer who consumes 1 pound of coffee and
no tea derives a utility of 1util.
In the suggested win-win-win papakonstantinidis model it is the
strategy profiles that are taken into consideration, followed by the
fit satisfaction
Why can we not say that two people who chose to buy the same
quantity of a good at the same price have the same marginal
utility?
Answer: We cannot interpersonally compare utility between
people, so even if the tradeoffs they face between one good and
another, measured by their relative prices, are the same, we do not
know their marginal utilities.
Undoubtedly the utility function concerns the ordinal (not cardinal)
utility of a single person (the definition of this utility does not make
acceptable interpersonal comparison of utility) just tells us whether
a person prefers the good x over the good y (the consumer’s utility)
Economic science (new-classical school of thought) studies
individual consumption of households, because the study
recommends the sales planning basis
On this point there is main objection (see at the last column)
this work raises a very subtle distinction here, that in the same time
it is an objection for world economic system: This work does not
accept the deliberate distinction in consumption of "a" or "b"
product
Instead considers that people consume either "knowledge" or
"experience"
The marginal rate of substitution does not examine a combination
of goods that a consumer would prefer more or less than another
combination, but examines which combinations of goods the
consumer would prefer just as much. It also does not examine
marginal utility – how much better or worse off a consumer would
be with one combination of goods rather than another – because
all combinations of goods along the I.C are valued the same by the
consumer.
In this way the utility function resulting from a comparison (ordinal
utility two different behaviors i.e.
(a) aggressive behavior [especially coming from those experiences
consumers] It includes all these encompasses all those attitudes and
postures that gradually transform human behavior totally selfish,
assertive, without even care for the personality, continuity and problems
of the negotiator who is faced with
The two negotiators arrive in negotiating with mentality reminiscent of
"boxing match" seconds before the match starts
The strange thing is that over time, this behavior not only adopted
around (today) the planet, but also praised rewarded glorified
Socially successful was he who managed to "foisted" himself in social
trading, regardless of whether this would reduce (as always) the really
worthy not succeeded-as fluent culture - to have a measurement range
of real, true value to society Our Instead, this system is capitalism (as
today) made him unworthy that to hide his disability made him exactly
what this society revealed in "qualification":
insolence, demonstration greed Unlike the more worthy spent on the
sidelines precisely because they did something to rival the first -see the
"silky People"
and
(b) cooperative behavior coming mainly from knowledge consumers
now exceeds the individual personality and relates to all of us through
the time
Capitalism was established and based on the "aggressive behavior" But
precisely this aggressive behavior has created a distorted and destructive
for mankind perspective
In spite of rational action people realize in nowadays that something has
to change:
Rousseau had written on "Social Contract" that People understand that
perpetual satisfaction of private profit sooner or later leads to conflict
Therefore, people are intelligent enough to understand the value of the
collateral to each other interaction
They should give up a piece of their personal freedom to a superior
creature, i.e the "State" (the Leviathan Hobbes) in exchange for their
political freedom, freedom of expression and the transaction security
Each of them is rather “knowledge consumer” or rather “experiences’
consumer”
From this point of view, it is easier to interpersonally compare utility

Treatment, education, teaching specific and systematic processes influencing and shaping. In particular the application is an orientation process that directs people to establish and evaluate their experiences with a generally defined manner. Education leads people to acquire knowledge, values, skills, dispositions, etc. Finally, teaching is a transmission process, creation of conditions for the acquisition by humans of specific knowledge, to internalize certain values, development of specific skills in addiction specific ways of action / reaction etc. Teaching: a tool for achieving education.

Finally, the relation between the IC and the rate of prices
(MRS)=MRE: consumer equilibrium
Marginal Rate of Substitution (MRS) must be equal to the ratio of prices, also called the Market Rate of Exchange (MRE) to attain consumer equilibrium. First let's understand what's the difference between the two
MRS is the rate at which the consumer is willing
to sacrifice units of one good in order to obtain a
unit of another.
MRE is the rate at which consumer has
to sacrifice units of one good in order to obtain a
unit of another, in accordance with market prices.
Now, let's analyze the two unstable cases
1. MRS > MRE
This means consumer is willing to sacrifice greater quantities of one
good (say X) to obtain a unit more of the other(say Y). Thus, he
values good Y more than good X and is likely to consume more
good Y.
Eventually as the consumption of good Y increases and that of good
X falls, he becomes reluctant to shell out large quantities of good X
for an additional unit of good Y because now his utility from good Y
falls due to operation law of diminishing marginal utility(DMU).
This implies his MRS falls and consequently becomes equal to MRE.
2. MRE > MRS
This means the consumer is willing to sacrifice lesser units of good X
than the market demands, to obtain an additional unit of good Y. In
short, he values good X more than good Y. In such a case, he is
willing to pay a price lower than the market price for good Y.
Thus, the transactions cannot take place and he will end up
consuming more units of good X. With an increase in consumption
of good X, the utility derived from it falls due to law of DMU. Now,
he starts valuing good Y and is now ready to substitute greater

quantities of good X to obtain a unit more of good Y.
As a result, MRS increases and becomes equal to MRE.
Thus, in both the cases, the final outcome is
MRS = MRE
This is the point of consumer equilibrium303.

A Note on the Use of "He" and "She"
The English language forces us to refer to individuals as "he" or
"she". We disagree on how to handle this problem.
Ariel Rubinstein argues that we should use a "neutral" pronoun, and
agrees to the use of "he", with the understanding that this refers to
both men and women. Given our socio-political environment,
continuous reminders of the she/he issue simply divert the reader's
attention from the main issues. Language is extremely important in
shaping our thinking, but in academic material it is not useful to
wave it as a flag.
Influences on win-win-win terminology
The discrimination between “he” and “she”, made by Osborne Martin J.
and Rubinstein Ariel (1990) in game theory helped us to make a clear
vis-à-vis of men and women taking part in a bargain, or otherwise, a
person or group occupying a corresponding position to that of another
person or group in a different area or domain; a counterpart.

Martin Osborne argues that no language is "neutral". Every
choice the author makes affects the reader. "He" is exclusive, and
reinforces sexist attitudes, no matter how well intentioned the user.
Language has a powerful impact on readers' perceptions and
understanding. An author should adopt the style that is likely to
have the most desirable impact on her readers' views ("the point . . .
is to change the world"). At present, the use of "she" for all
individuals, or at least for generic individuals, would seem best to
accomplish this goal. We had to reach a compromise. When referring to specific
individuals, we sometimes use "he" and sometimes "she". For
example, in two-player games we treat Player 1 as female and
Player 2 as male; in markets games we treat all sellers as female and
all buyers as male. We use "he" for generic individuals305

NON-COOPERATIVE GAME (NCG)
In his famous (Received October 11, 1950) paper titled NON-
COOPERATIVE GAME, JOHN FORBS NASH (NOBEL PRIZE 1994) –
EDITED IN Annals of Mathematics Vol 54 No 2, September 1951 has as starting point the book “Theory of Games and
Economic Behavior” of Von Neumann and Morgenstern who
have developed a theory of two-person zero-sum games
This book also contains a theory of η-person games of a type
which we would call cooperative. This theory is based on an
analysis of the interrelationships of the various coalitions
which can be formed by the players of the game. By introducing in his “NCG theory Nash indicates that in contradistinction, is based on the absence of coalitions in that it is assumed that each participant acts independently, without collaboration or communication with any of the
The theory of games is a mathematical discipline designed to treat rigorously
the question of optimal behavior of participants in games of strategy and to
determine the resulting equilibria. In such games each participant is striving for
his greatest advantage in situations where the outcome depends not only on
his actions alone, nor solely on those of nature, but also on those of other
participants whose interests are sometimes opposed, sometimes parallel, to his
own. Thus, in games of strategy there is conflict of interest as well as possible
cooperation among the participants. There may be uncertainty for each

others.
The notion of an equilibrium point is the basic ingredient in his NCG theory. This notion yields a generalization of the concept of the solution of a two-person zero-sum game. It turns out that the set of equilibrium points of a two-person zero-sum game is simply the set of all pairs of opposing "good strategies.'' In the immediately following sections he defined equilibrium points and proved that a finite non-cooperative game always has at least one equilibrium point. He also introduced the notions of solvability and strong solvability of a non-cooperative game and proved a theorem on the geometrical structure of the set of equilibrium points of a solvable game. As an example of the application of his theory he included a solution of a simplified three person poker game.
Formal Definitions and Terminology
Nash firstly defined the basic concepts of this paper and set up standard terminology and notation The non-cooperative idea was a brilliant one, implicit, rather than explicit Finite Game: For him an η-person game was a set of η players, or positions, each with an associated finite set of pure strategies; and corresponding to each player },......1{ ni

always mean a set of η items, with each item associated with a different player.

A mixed strategy of player i is a collection of non-negative
numbers which have unit sum and are in one to one correspondence with his pure strategies. From this point, supposed that

participant because the actions of others may not be known with certainty.
Such situations, often of extreme complexity, are found not only in games but
also in business, politics, war, and other social activities. Therefore, the theory
serves to interpret both games themselves and social phenomena with which
certain games are strictly identical. The theory is normative in that it aims at
giving advice to each player about his optimal behavior; it is descriptive when
viewed as a model for analyzing empirically given occurrences. In analyzing
games the theory does not assume rational behavior; rather, it attempts to
determine what “rational” can mean when an individual is confronted with the
problem of optimal behavior in games and equivalent situations.
The results of the interlocking individual actions are expressed by numbers,
such as money or a numerically defined utility for each player transferable
among all. Games of strategy include games of chance as a sub-case; in games
of chance the problem for the player is merely to determine and evaluate the
probability of each possible outcome. In games of strategy the outcome for a
player cannot be determined by mere probability calculations. Specifically, no
player can make mere statistical assumptions about the behavior of the other
players in order to decide on his own optimal strategy. But nature, when
interfering in a game through chance events, is assumed to be indifferent with
regard to the player or players affected by chance events. Since the study of
games of chance has given rise to the theory of probability, without which
modern natural science could not exist, the expectation is that the
understanding of the far more complicated games of strategy may gradually
produce similar consequences for the social sciences (Shubik Martin (1968)

Game theory concepts
Games are described by specifying possible behavior within the rules of the
game. The rules are in each case unambiguous; for example, certain moves are
allowed for specific pieces in chess but are forbidden for others. The rules are
also inviolate. When a social situation is viewed as a game, the rules are given
by the physical and legal environment within which an individual’s actions may
take place. (For example, in a market individuals are permitted to bargain, to
threaten with boycotts, etc., but they are not permitted to use physical force to
acquire an article or to attempt to change its price.) The concrete occasion of a
game is called a play, which is described by specifying, out of all possible,
allowable moves, the sequence of choices actually made by the players or

participants. After the final move, the umpire determines the payments to each
player. The players may act singly, or, if the rules of the game permit it and if it
is advantageous, they may form coalitions. When a coalition forms, the
distribution of the payments to the coalition among its members has to be
established. All payments are stated in terms of money or a numerically defined
utility that is transferable from one player to another. The payment function is
generally assumed to be known to the players, although modifications of this
assumption have been introduced, as have other modifications—for example,
about the character of the utilities and even about the transferability of
payments.
The “extensive” form of a game, given in terms of successive moves and
countermoves, can be represented mathematically by a game tree, which
describes the unfolding of the moves, the state of information of the players at
the moment of each choice, and the alternatives for choices available to each
player at each occasion. This description can, in a strict mathematical sense, be
given equiv alent^ in a “normalized” form: each player, uninformed about the
choices made by any other player, chooses a single number that identifies a
“strategy” from his given finite or infinite set of strategies. When all personal
choices and a possible random choice are made (simultaneously), the umpire
determines the payments. Each strategy is a complete plan of playing, allowing
for all contingencies as represented by the choices and moves of all other
players and of nature. The payoff for each player is then represented by his
mathematical expectation of the outcome for himself. The final description of
the game therefore involves only the players’ strategies and no further chance
elements.
The theory explicitly assumes that each player, besides being completely
informed about the alternative payoffs due to all moves made or strategies
chosen, can perform all necessary computations needed to determine his
optimal behavior. (This assumption of complete information is also com
monplace in current economic theory, although seldom stated explicitly.)
The payments made by all players may add up to zero, as in games played for
entertainment. In this case the gains of some are exactly balanced by the losses

of others. Such games are called zero-sum games. In other instances the sum of
all payments may be a constant (different from zero) or may be a variable; in
these cases all players may gain or lose. Applications of game theory to
economic of political problems require the study of these games, since in a
purchase, for example, both sides gain. An economy is normally productive so
that the gains outweigh any losses, whereas in a war both sides may lose.
If a player chooses a particular strategy as iden tified by its number, he selects
a pure strategy; if he allows a chance mechanism, specified by himself, to make
this selection for him, he chooses a mixed or statistical strategy. The number of
pure strategies for a player normally is finite, partly because the rules of games
bring the play to an end after a finite number of moves, partly because the
player is confronted with only a finite number of alternatives. However, it is
possible to treat cases with infinitely many strategies as well as to consider
even the borderline case of games with infinitely many players. These serve
essentially to study pathological examples or to explore certain mathematical
characteristics.
Game theory uses essentially combinatorial and set-theoretical concepts and
tools, since no specific calculus has as yet evolved—as happened when
differential and integral calculus were invented simultaneously with the
establishment of classical mechanics. Differential calculus is designed to
determine maxima and minima, but in games, as well as in politics, these are
not defined, because the out come of a player’s actions does not depend on his
actions alone (plus nature). This applies to all players simultaneously. A
maximum (or minimum) of a function can be achieved only when all variables
on which the maximum (minimum) depends are under the complete control of
the would be maximizer. This is never the case in games of strategy. Therefore,
in the equivalent business, political, or military operations there obtains no
maximum (minimum) problem, whether with or with out side conditions, as
assumed in the classical literature of these fields; rather one is confronted there
with an entirely different conceptual structure, which the theory of games
analyzes.

Game Theory-Strategy: In game theory player’s strategy is
any of the options he or she can choose in a setting where
the outcome depends not only on his own actions but on the
action of others.[1] A player's strategy will determine the
action the player will take at any stage of the game.
The strategy concept is sometimes (wrongly) confused with
that of a move. A move is an action taken by a player at some
point during the play of a game (e.g., in chess, moving
white's Bishop a2 to b3). A strategy on the other hand is a
complete algorithm for playing the game, telling a player
what to do for every possible situation throughout the game.
A strategy profile (sometimes called a strategy combination)
is a set of strategies for all players which fully specifies all
actions in a game. A strategy profile must include one and
only one strategy for every player.
A player's strategy set defines what strategies are available
for them to play.
A player has a finite strategy set if they have a number of
discrete strategies available to them. For instance, in a single
game of rock-paper-scissors each player has the finite
strategy set {rock, paper, scissors}.
A strategy set is infinite otherwise. For instance, an action
A normal-form game
Player 1 \ Player 2 Player 2
chooses left
Player 2
chooses
right
Player 1 chooses top 4, 3 −1, −1
Player 1 chooses bottom 0, 0 3, 4
The matrix to the right is a normal-form representation of a game in which
players move simultaneously (or at least do not observe the other player's
move before making their own) and receive the payoffs as specified for the
combinations of actions played For example, if player 1 plays top and player 2
plays left, player 1 receives 4 and player 2 receives 3. In each cell, the first
number represents the payoff to the row player (in this case player 1), and the
second number represents the payoff to the column player (in this case player
2).
The main tool of this work is game theory: It is usually described bargaining situations as (extensive) games. Predictions about the resolution of conflict are derived from game-theoretic solutions (variants of subgame perfect equilibrium). The analysis is intended to be precise. Starting from the game theory we discuss five (5) points: The first uses the philosophy of “game” as a “tool” to extend the bargaining procedure in order to conclude the COMMUNITY © The second applies the theory of bargaining to the study of “community forces” as to absorb the bargaining trends The third is to construct theory of bargaining in which risk &time are modeled explicitly. The fourth to build solid theories on which to set the suggested “win-win-win model The fifth is to prove the existence of a “win-win-win” situation

with mandated bid increments may have an infinite number
of discrete strategies in the strategy set {$10, $20, $30, ...}.
Alternatively, the cake-cutting game has a bounded
continuum of strategies in the strategy set {Cut anywhere
between zero percent and 100 percent of the cake}.
In a dynamic game the strategy set consists of the possible
rules a player could give to a robot or agent on how to play
the game. For instance, in the ultimatum game the strategy
set for the second player would consist of every possible rule
for which offers to accept and which to reject.
In a Bayesian game the strategy set is similar to that in a
dynamic game. It consists of rules for what action to take for
any possible private information.
Choosing a strategy set
In applied game theory, the definition of the strategy sets is
an important part of the art of making a game
simultaneously solvable and meaningful. The game theorist
can use knowledge of the overall problem to limit the
strategy spaces, and ease the solution.
For instance, strictly speaking in the Ultimatum game a
player can have strategies such as: Reject offers of ($1, $3,
$5, ..., $19), accept offers of ($0, $2, $4, ..., $20). Including all
such strategies makes for a very large strategy space and a
somewhat difficult problem. A game theorist might instead
believe they can limit the strategy set to: {Reject any offer
≤ x, accept any offer > x; for x in ($0, $1, $2, ..., $20)}.
Pure and Mixed Strategies: A pure strategy provides a
complete definition of how a player will play a game. In
particular, it determines the move a player will make for any
situation he or she could face. A player's strategy set is the
set of pure strategies available to that player.
A mixed strategy is an assignment of a probability to each
pure strategy. This allows for a player to randomly select a
pure strategy. Since probabilities are continuous, there are
infinitely many mixed strategies available to a player.
The proposed new “win-win-win papakonstantinidis equilibrium is based on
“bargaining theory” may be consider an NE extension or even as an N.E
application in 3d space
In the win-win-win philosophy, the payoff depends on the strategy profile
chosen, i.e., on the strategy chosen by player as well as the strategies chosen by all the other players and the Community, both as the third party of bargain AND as an overall “player”, with the responsibility of “fair bargaining” In the game, the players have to make decisions sequentially in a pre-specified order. The order reflects the procedure of bargaining Simultaneous-Move, One-Shot Games: Normal Form Game310 •A Normal Form Game consists of: �Set of players i∈{1, 2, …n} where nis a finite number. �Each players strategy set or feasible actions consist of a finite number of strategies. •Player 1’s strategies are S1={a, b, c, …}. •Player 2’s strategies are S2={A, B, C, …}. �Payoffs. •Player 1’s payoff: π1(a,B) = 11. •Player 2’s payoff: π2(b,C) = 12.

A Nash bargaining solution is a Pareto efficient solution to a Nash bargaining game. […..The two-person bargaining problem is a problem of understanding how
two agents should cooperate when non-cooperation leads to Pareto
inefficient results. It is in essence an equilibrium selection problem; many
games have multiple equilibria with varying payoffs for each player, forcing the
players to negotiate on which equilibrium to target. Solutions to bargaining
come in two flavors: an axiomatic approach where desired properties of a
solution are satisfied and a strategic approach where the bargaining procedure

Of course, one can regard a pure strategy as a degenerate
case of a mixed strategy, in which that particular pure
strategy is selected with probability 1 and every other
strategy with probability 0.
A totally mixed strategy is a mixed strategy in which the
player assigns a strictly positive probability to every pure
strategy. (Totally mixed strategies are important for
equilibrium refinement such as trembling hand perfect
equilibrium
Mixed Strategy: Illustration: Consider the payoff matrix
pictured to the right (known as coordinator game). Here
one player chooses the row and the other chooses a column.
The row player receives the first payoff, the column player
the second. If row opts to play A with probability 1 (i.e.
play A for sure), then he is said to be playing a pure strategy.
If column opts to flip a coin and play A if the coin lands heads
and B if the coin lands tails, then he is said to be playing a
mixed strategy, and not a pure strategy.
Significance: In his famous paper, John Forbs Nash proved
that there is an equilibrium for every finite game One can
divide Nash equilibria into two types. Pure strategy Nash
equilibria are Nash equilibria where all players are playing
pure strategies. Mixed strategy Nash equilibria are equilibria
where at least one player is playing a mixed strategy. While
Nash proved that every finite game has a Nash equilibrium,
not all have pure strategy Nash equilibria. For an example of
a game that does not have a Nash equilibrium in pure
strategies, see Matching pennies However, many games do
have pure strategy Nash equilibria (e.g. the coordination
game the Prisoner’s Dilemma, the Stag hunt Further, games
can have both pure strategy and mixed strategy equilibria.

game/bargain: According to Nash, a “bargaining solution” is a Pareto efficient solution, on Nash bargaining game. That is the bargaining solution among three parties (A-B and the Community as the third and overall player of the bargain) There is an infinity number of sets (not exactly “solutions” Each match induces a bargaining game between the two parties. The agents are motivated to reach agreement by two factors: their own impatience and the exogenous risk that their partnership will terminate. Their utilities in the latter case depend on the equilibrium prevailing in the market; the agents take these utilities as given. We assume that the agents' behavior in the bargaining game does not depend on events in other matches. The equilibrium that we characterize does not coincide with the competitive equilibrium of the market when the demand and supply functions are those of the steady state stock of agents in the market As we enter the bargain, we see that the three participating parts (i.e A-B and the Community as a third, but overall negotiator, ensuring at the same time and benefit the rest of society except for the two negotiators), make offers towards the other two bargainers targeting to an agreement that favors mostly the same, in accordance with the principle of Rationalism So, one side proposes the present time “t” the an own proposal. If it is accepted by the other two parties, the negotiation reaches in agreement If even one of the other two have an objection then the "game" continues until the conclusion of the negotiation agreement or disagreement

Behavior strategy: While a mixed strategy assigns a
probability distribution over pure strategies, a behavior
strategy assigns at each information set a probability
distribution over the set of possible actions While the two
concepts are very closely related in the context of normal
form games, they have very different implications for
extensive form games. Roughly, a mixed strategy randomly
chooses a deterministic path through the game tree, while a
behavior strategy can be seen as a stochastic path.
The relationship between mixed and behavior strategies is
the subject of Kuhn’s Theorem The result establishes that in
any finite extensive-form game with perfect recall, for any
player and any mixed strategy, there exists a behavior
strategy that, against all profiles of strategies (of other
players), induces the same distribution over terminal nodes
as the mixed strategy does. The converse is also true.
COOPERATIVE GAME In his famous (P-172) paper titled TWO-PERSON COOPERATIVE GAMES August 31, 1950 John Forbs Nash (the RAND Corporation)306 defined e the concept of a general two-person cooperative game and developed a concept of a solution for such games. There are two different ways in which the solution may be derived. One is "by the use of a set of axioms describing general properties a solution should possess and from which it can he deduced that there is hut one possibility in each case. The other proceeds why setting up a model of the negotiation process which the players go through in deciding upon a course of action. This is done in such a way as to obtain a non-cooperative game. - By using the term cooperative we mean to imply that the players have complete freedom of communication and complete information on the structure of the game. Furthermore, there should be the possibility of making enforced agreements, "binding either one or both players to a certain agreement or policy. It is assumed that either player may secure a commitment (enforced policy contract) upon himself if he so desires. But each player is supposed not to have any commitments upon himself before entering into the negotiation involved in this game, or at least none relevant to the situation. And we assume that while one player is obtaining a commitment upon himself the other may do likewise. Finally, we assume that the situation may be regarded as an isolated incident in the life of each player, and not one where a player's behavior could set up

According to Valerio Carparo (2013) who is an excellent The conflict between
cooperation and competition is one of the most important conflicts in human
decision making. Competition is individually optimal, but may lead to war and
destruction; cooperation leads to peaceful, healthy, and ultimately more
successful societies, but it requires individuals to pay a cost for the benefit of
others.
I combine math models and behavioral experiments to understand how people
solve this and related conflicts, with the goal of helping institutions to create
more collaborative societies.
Since its foundation by Morgenstern and von Neumann the major challenge of
modern game theory has been to predict which actions a human player would
adopt in a strategic situation. A first prediction was proposed in an earlier paper
by J. von Neumann for two-person zero-sum games and then generalized to
every finite game by J. Nash in Since then Nash equilibrium has certainly been
the most notable and used solution concept in game theory. Nevertheless, over
the last sixty years, it has been realized that it makes poor predictions of human

an advantageous or disadvantageous precedent. The possible usefulness of a commitment is fairly clear. If one player can announce to the other that he is bound to accept only the most favorable sort of proposal for an agreement and the other is uncommitted, then the committed player should have an advantage, provided the other is rational and the commitment still allows some mutually profitable arrangement. The mathematical description of the game is as follows:

In the actual negotiation model we restrict each player to a special class of commitments which appears to contain enough variety to enable a player to bring all the strong points of his position into the negotiation so that a greater range of possibilities would be useless to a player. The arrangement of the negotiation in a two stage form with two simultaneous moves by the two players in each stage appears at first to be a very artificial device. It is really simply a convenience, since a one stage form could be used, but would be essentially equivalent to putting the two stage game in normal form, and hence messier to handle Now for the formal model: Stage 0. Players are informed of the situation, may talk it over, if they like. Stage 1. Each player goes to his attorney and arranges to be
forced to play a certain mixed strategy it if the two do not
eventually reach agreement; it is called player i's "threat".
play and, indeed, a large number of experiments have been conducted on
games for which it dramatically fails to predict human behavior.
There are many reasons behind this failure. On the one hand, when there are
multiple equilibria, it is not clear which one we should expect is going to be
played. A whole stream of literature, finalized to the selection of one
equilibrium, arose from this point, including the definitions of evolutionarily
stable strategy perfect equilibrium trembling hand perfect equilibrium, proper
equilibrium sequential equilibrium, limit logit equilibrium, and, very recently,
settled equilibrium
On the other hand, the criticism of Nash equilibrium is motivated by more seri-ous problems: there are examples of games with a unique Nash equilibrium which is not played by human players. Typical examples of such a fastidious situation are the Prisoner's Dilemma, the Traveler's Dilemm and, more generally, every social dilemma [Ko88]. This point has motivated another stream of literature devoted to the explanation of such deviations from Nash equilibria. Part of this literature tries to explain such deviations assuming that players make mistakes in the computation of the expected value of a strategy and therefore, assuming that errors are identically distributed, a player may also play non-optimal strategies with a probability described by a Weibull distribution. if two agents played the Prisoner’s dilemma according to the coco value, then they would both cooperate for sure. This prediction contradicts the experimental data collected in recent researches Valerio Capraro tried to attribute the failure of all these attempts to two basic problems. The first problem is the use of utility functions in the very definition of a game. Indeed, the experimental evidence have shown that expected utility theory fails to predict the behavior of decision makers This problem could be theoretically overcome replacing utility functions with gain unctions and applying Kahneman-Tversky’s cumulative prospect theory CAPRARO VALERIO (2013) took into account that cooperation is not casual and depends on the payoffs of the game. These findings suggest that humans have attitude to cooperation by nature and the same person may act more or less cooperatively depending on the particular payoffs. In other words, people do not act a priori as single agents, but they forecast how the game would be played if they formed coalitions and then they play according to their best forecast. Capraro defined a a new solution concept for one-shot normal form games. CAPRARO VALERIO (2013) proved that the cooperative equilibrium exists for all finite games and it explains a number of different experimental findings, such as (1) the rate of cooperation in the Prisoner’s dilemma depends on the cost-benefit ratio; (2) the rate of cooperation in the Traveler’s dilemma depends on the bonus/penalty; (3) the rate of cooperation in the Public Goods game depends on the pro-capite marginal return and on the numbers of players; (4) the rate of cooperation in the Bertrand competition depends on the number of players; (5) players tend to be fair in the bargaining problem; (6) players tend to be fair in the Ultimatum game; (7) players tend to be altruist in the Dictator game; (8) offers in the Ultimatum game are larger than offers in the Dictator game. Since its foundation by Morgenstern and von Neumann , the major challenge of modern game theory has been to predict which actions a human player would adopt in a strategic situation. A first prediction was proposed in an earlier paper by J. von Neumann for two-person zero-sum games and then generalized to every finite game by J. Nash in Since then Nash equilibrium has certainly been the most notable and used solution concept in game theory. Nevertheless, over the last sixty years, it has been realized that it makes poor predictions of human play and, indeed, a large number of experiments have been conducted on games for which it drammatically fails to predict human behavior. There are many reasons behind this failure. On the one hand, when there are multiple equilibria, it is not clear which one we should expect is going to be played. A whole stream of literature, finalized to the selection of one equilibrium, arose from this point, including the definitions of evolutionarily stable strategy perfect equilibrium , trembling hand perfect equilibrium proper equilibrium, sequential equilibrium limit logit equilibrium

The "Theory of Non-Cooperative Game (NCG)of John Nash
(1951) is the basis of all considerations discussed in this
paper
Especially the "Nash Equilibrium" was a key inspiration of
the "win-win-win papakonstantinidis model"
This effort focused on "Nash Equilibrium" with key elements comparing "strategic profile" choices, decisions and payoffs (shares) and the probabilities (under conditions of uncertainty) of such strategies to be realized the payoff depends on the strategy profile chosen, i.e., on the strategy
chosen by player as well as the strategies chosen by all the other players.

Usually bargaining situations are described mainly as
(extensive) games. Predictions about the resolution of
conflict are derived from game-theoretic solutions (variants
of subgame perfect equilibrium). The analysis is intended to
and, very recently, settled equilibrium On the other hand, the criticism of Nash equilibrium is motivated by more serious problems: there are examples of games with a unique Nash equilibrium which is not played by human players. Typical examples of such a fastidious situation are the Prisoner's Dilemma the Traveler's Dilemma (see at appendix), and, more generally, every social dilemma. This point has motivated another stream of literature devoted to the explanation of such deviations from Nash equilibria. Part of this literature tries to explain such deviations assuming that players make mistakes in the computation of the expected value of a strategy and therefore, assuming that errors are identically distributed, a player may also play non-optimal strategies with a probability described by a Weibull distribution. This intuition led to the foundation of the so-called quantal response equilibrium theory by McKelvey and Palfrey. A variant of this theory, called quantal level-k theory and proposed by Stahl and P. Wilson in , was recently shown to perform better in the prediction of human behavior In the same paper, Wright and Leyton-Brown have also shown that quantal level-k theory predicts human behavior significantly better than all other behavioral models that have been proposed in the last decade, as the level-k theory and the cognitive hierarchy model. However, an obvious criticism of quantal level-k theory is that it is not scale invariant, contradicting one of the axioms of expected utility theory of Morgenstern and von Neumann. A perhaps more fundamental criticism stems from the fact that quantal level-k theory only makes use of some parameters describing either the incidence of errors that a player can make computing the expected utility of a strategy or the fact that humans can perform only a bounded number of iterations of strategic reasoning. These features first imply that quantal level-k theory is not predictive, in the sense that one has to conduct experiments to estimate the parameters; second, they imply that quantal level-k theory intrinsically affirms that deviation from Nash equilibria can descend only from two causes, computational mistakes and bounded rationality, that are hard to justify for games with very easy payoffs, like the Prisoner's Dilemma, or for games where the deviation from Nash equilibrium is particularly strong, like the Traveler's Dilemma312 with small bonus-penalty.
Indeed, the general feeling is that the motivation must rely somewhere deeper
and that Nash equilibrium should be replaced by a conceptually different
solution concept that takes into account other features of human behavior and
coincides with Nash equilibrium only in particular cases. A number of
researchers presented their work on this subject and “gave solutions”
Nevertheless, even though these solution concepts can explain deviations from
Nash equilibria in some particular games, all of them make unreasonable
predictions for many games of interest. For instance, the maximum perfect
cooperative equilibrium is too rigid and predicts cooperation for sure in the
Prisoner's and Traveler's Dilemmas, contradicting the experimental data
collected in a number of researchers . The iterated regret minimization proce-
dure introduced in papers can explain deviations towards cooperation in some
variants of the Traveler's Dilemma, the Bertrand competition, the Centipede
Game, and other games of interest, but it does not predict deviation towards
cooperation in the Prisoner's Dilemma and in the public good game it cannot
explain altruistic behaviors in the ultimatum game and in the dictator game and
makes unreasonable predictions for the Traveler's dilemma with punishment
and a certain zero-sum game The solution concept defined using algorithmic
rationability can explain deviation towards cooperation in the iterated Pris-
oner's and Traveler's dilemmas, but it does not predict deviation towards
cooperation in one-shot versions of the Prisoner's dilemma or in one-shot
versions of the Traveler's dilemma with very small bonus-penalty, contradicting
the experimental data reported in different ideas CAPRALO tried to attribute
the failure of all these attempts to two basic problems.
The first problem is the use of utility functions in the very definition of a game.

be precise. We do not hold the position that every claim in
economic theory must be stated formally. Sometimes formal
models are redundant—the arguments can be better made
verbally. However, the forms in this work , we believe,
demonstrate the usefulness of formal models. They provide
clear analyses of complex situations and lead us to a better
understanding of some economic phenomena.
An interpretation of the theories in this book requires an
interpretation of game theory. At several points we make
comments on the interpretation of some of the notions we
use, but we do not pretend to present a complete and
coherent interpretation.
For finding the “win-win-win” solution it is taken into
account both “cooperative” and “non-cooperative game

In Nash’s words, one makes the players’ steps of negotiation
. . . moves in the non-cooperative model. Of course, one
cannot represent all possible bargaining devices as moves in
the non-cooperative game. The negotiation process must be
formalized and restricted, but in such a way bat each
participant is still able to utilize all the essential strengths of
his position
Nash’s “Variable Threat” Model In Nash’s axiomatic model the point d, which is interpreted as the outcome in the event that the players fail to reach agreement, is fixed. Nash (1953)307 extended his theory to encompass situations in which the players can influence this outcome. The primitive of this later model is a two-person strategic game, which we denote G, in which each player has finitely many pure strategies.

Indeed, the experimental evidence have shown that expected utility theory fails
to predict the behavior of decision makers This problem could be theoretically
overcome replacing utility functions with gain functions and applying
Kahneman-Tversky's cumulative prospect theory
But one can easily convince himself that in most cases such a replacement
could explain only quantitative deviations.
The second problem is indeed that experiments conducted on the Prisoner's
dilemma, the Traveler's dilemma, Dictator game, and other games, show
qualitative deviations from classical solution concepts. These qualitative
deviations suggest that humans are altruistic and have attitude to cooperation.
These observations motivate the definition of a new solution concept, able to
take into account altruism and cooperation and using gain functions instead of
utility functions. This paper represents a first endeavor in this direction. Indeed,
here we consider only one-shot normal form games where the players are
completely anonymous, that is, they do not know each other and they are not
allowed to exchange information313. The aim of this paper is to define a new
solution concept for this class of games. This solution concept will be called
cooperative equilibrium. Indeed, we will see that altruism plays only a marginal
role and the main idea behind this new equilibrium notion is the formalization
of the following principle of cooperation:
(C) Players try to forecast how the game would be played if they formed
coalitions and then they play according to their best forecast.
The study of cooperation in games is not a new idea. Economists,
biologists, psychologists, sociologists, and political scientists, have been
studying cooperation in social dilemmas for forty years. These classical
approaches explain tendency to cooperation dividing people in pro-self and
pro-social types or appealing to forms of external control or to long-term
strategies in iterated games[Ax84]. But, over the years many experiments have
been accumulated to show cooperation even in one-shot social dilemmas
without external control These and other earlier experiments have also shown
that the rate of cooperation in the same game depends on the particular
payoffs, suggesting that most likely humans cannot be merely divided in pro-
self and pro-social types, but they are engaged in some sort of indirect
reciprocity and the same person may behave more or less cooperatively
depending on the payoffs. In other words, humans have attitude to cooperation
by nature.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to lift this well known
tendency to cooperate up to a general principle which is nothing more than a
deeper and smarter realization of selfishness.
The idea to formalize the principle of cooperation and define the cooperative
equilibrium can be briefly summarized as follows:
• We assume that players do not act a priori as single players, but they
try to forecast how the game would be played if they formed
coalitions.

The players begin by simultaneously selecting mixed
strategies in G These strategies are interpreted as the
actions the players are bound to take if they fail to reach agreement; we refer to them as threats. The players must carry out their threats in case of disagreement even when the pair of threats is not a Nash equilibrium of G. Once the threats have been chosen, the agreement that is reached is given by the Nash solution of the bargaining problem in which the set of possible agreements is the set of probability
distributions over 21xPP and the disagreement point is the
pair of payoffs in G in the event the threats are carried out.

the Nash solution is affected by his own threat; each player chooses his threat to maximize his payoff, given the threat of the other player308
A disputed meaning
During the 1980s, the concept of mixed strategies came
under heavy fire for being "intuitively problematic"
.Randomization, central in mixed strategies, lacks behavioral
support. Seldom do people make their choices following a
lottery. This behavioral problem is compounded by the
cognitive difficulty that people are unable to generate
random outcomes without the aid of a random or pseudo-
random generator
In 1991 game theorist Ariel Rubinstein described alternative
ways of understanding the concept. The first, due to Harsanyi
(1973), is called purification and supposes that the mixed
strategies interpretation merely reflects our lack of
knowledge of the players' information and decision-making
process. Apparently random choices are then seen as
consequences of non-specified, payoff-irrelevant exogenous
factors. However, it is unsatisfying to have results that hang
on unspecified factors.
A second interpretation imagines the game players standing
for a large population of agents. Each of the agents chooses a
pure strategy, and the payoff depends on the fraction of
agents choosing each strategy. The mixed strategy hence
represents the distribution of pure strategies chosen by each
• Each forecast is represented by a number v (p), called value of the
coalition structure p for player i , which is a measure of the expected
gain of player i when she plays according to the coalition structure p.
• The numbers )(pVi induce a sort of common beliefs: we
consider the induced game Ind(G,p) which differs from the original
game G only for the set of allowed profiles of mixed strategies: the
profiles of mixed strategies allowed in Ind(G,p) are the profiles
(σι,. . . , σΝ) such that «ί(σι,. . . , σΝ) > Vj(p), for any player i.
• The exact cooperative equilibrium is one where player i plays an
equilibrium of the game Ind(G,p) induced by a coalition structure
which maximizes the value function Vi
• The notion of equilibrium for the induced game Ind(G,p) is not
defined using classical Nash equilibrium, but using a prospect
theoretical analogue.
In order to apply prospect theory we must replace utility functions by gain
functions, that are, functions whose values represent the monetary outcomes
or, more generally, the quantity of some good which is won or lost by a player.
This replacement comes at the price that we must take into account explicitly
new data that were implicitly included in the utility functions. Indeed, while
utility functions were supposed to contain all relevant information about
players' preferences, gain functions do contain only the quantity of some good
which is won or lost by the players. These new data include the fairness
functions f i and the altruism functions a i j . An interesting feature of the
cooperative equilibrium is that, in many games of interest, it does not depend
on these functions. This implies that the cooperative equilibrium is a predictive
solution concept for many games of interest. A bit more precisely, in this paper
we prove the following statements.
FACT 1.1. The cooperative equilibrium for the Prisoner's dilemma is predictive
(i.e., it does not depend on fairness functions and altruism functions) and has
the following property: the predicted rate of cooperation increases as the cost-
benefit ratio increases.
FACT 1.2. The cooperative equilibrium for the Traveler's dilemma is
predictive and has the following property: the predicted rate of cooperation
decreases as the bonus/penalty increases. A typical example is the following.
(see at Appendix to this table)
FACT 1.3. The cooperative equilibrium for the Bertrand competition is
predictive and it has the following property: the predicted rate of cooperation
decreases as the numbers of players increase.
FACT 1.4. The cooperative equilibrium for the public good game is predictive and
it has the following properties: (1) the predicted rate of cooperation increases
as the marginal return increases, and (2) the predicted rate of cooperation
decreases as the number of players increases and then increases again as the
number of players gets sufficiently large.
FACT 1.5. The cooperative equilibrium predicts the (50,50) solution in the
Bargaining problem under natural assumptions on the fairness functions.

APPENDIX TO TAPLE : The traveler's dilemma In game theory, the (sometimes abbreviated TD) is a type of non-zero
sum game in which two players attempt to maximize their own payoff, without any concern for the other player's payoff
Formulation: The game was formulated in 1994 by Kaushik Basu and goes as follows: An airline loses two suitcases belonging
to two different travelers. Both suitcases happen to be identical and contain identical antiques. An airline manager tasked to
settle the claims of both travelers explains that the airline is liable for a maximum of $100 per suitcase—he is unable to find out
directly the price of the antiques.To determine an honest appraised value of the antiques, the manager separates both travelers
so they can't confer, and asks them to write down the amount of their value at no less than $2 and no larger than $100. He also
tells them that if both write down the same number, he will treat that number as the true dollar value of both suitcases and
reimburse both travelers that amount. However, if one writes down a smaller number than the other, this smaller number will
be taken as the true dollar value, and both travelers will receive that amount along with a bonus/malus: $2 extra will be paid to
the traveler who wrote down the lower value and a $2 deduction will be taken from the person who wrote down the higher
amount. The challenge is: what strategy should both travelers follow to decide the value they should write down?
Analysis One might expect a traveler's optimum choice to be $100; that is, the traveler values the antiques at the airline
manager's maximum allowed price. Remarkably, and, to many, counter-intuitively, the Nash Equilibrium (N.E) solution is in
fact just $2; that is, the traveler values the antiques at the airline manager's minimum allowed price. For an understanding of
why $2 is the N.E consider the following proof:
Alice, having lost her antiques, is asked their value. Alice's first thought is to quote $100, the maximum permissible
value.
population. However, this does not provide any justification
for the case when players are individual agents. Later,
Aumann and Brandenburger (1995), re-interpreted Nash
equilibrium as an equilibrium in beliefs, rather than actions.
For instance, in rock-paper-scissors an equilibrium in beliefs
would have each player believing the other was equally likely
to play each strategy. This interpretation weakens the
predictive power of Nash equilibrium, however, since it is
possible in such an equilibrium for each player
to actually play a pure strategy of Rock.
Ever since, game theorists' attitude towards mixed
strategies-based results have been ambivalent Mixed
strategies are still widely used for their capacity to provide
Nash equilibria in games where no equilibrium in pure
strategies exists, but the model does not specify why and
how players randomize their decisions
Roughly speaking, the natural assumption is that the two players have the
same perception of money. We believe that this assumption is natural, since it
is predictable that a bargain between a very rich person and a very poor person
can have a different solution.
FACT 1.6. The cooperative equilibrium explains the experimental data
collected for the dictator game, via altruism.
This happens just because we define the altruism in terms of human
behavior in the dictator game. To treat the dictator game as the quintessence
of altruism is certainly not a new idea
FACT 1.7. The cooperative equilibrium explain the experimental data collected
for the ultimatum game, via a combination of cooperation and altruism.
In particular, the observation that offers in the ultimatum game are larger then
the offers in the dictator game is explained in terms of cooperation, which is
generated by the fact that the responder has the power to reject proposer's
offer.
Another case where the cooperative equilibrium is only descriptive is when
the mistakes that players can make in the computations have a very strong
influence on the result.

On reflection, though, she realizes that her fellow traveler, Bob, might also quote $100. And so Alice changes her
mind, and decides to quote $99, which, if Bob quotes $100, will pay $101.
But Bob, being in an identical position to Alice, might also think of quoting $99. And so Alice changes her mind, and
decides to quote $98, which, if Bob quotes $99, will pay $100. This is greater than the $99 Alice would receive if both she
and Bob quoted $99.
This cycle of thought continues, until Alice finally decides to quote just $2—the minimum permissible price.
Another proof goes as follows:
If Alice only wants to maximize her own payoff, choosing $99 trumps choosing $100. If Bob chooses any dollar value
2–98 inclusive, $99 and $100 give equal payoffs; if Bob chooses $99 or $100, choosing $99 nets Alice an extra dollar.
A similar line of reasoning shows that choosing $98 is always better for Alice than choosing $99. The only situation
where choosing $99 would give a higher payoff than choosing $98 is if Bob chooses $100—but if Bob is only seeking to
maximize his own profit, he will always choose $99 instead of $100.
This line of reasoning can be applied to all of Alice's whole-dollar options until she finally reaches $2, the lowest
price.

The two-person bargaining problem is a problem of understanding how two
agents should cooperate when non-cooperation leads to Pareto
inefficient results. It is in essence an equilibrium selection problem; many
games have multiple equilibria with varying payoffs for each player, forcing the
players to negotiate on which equilibrium to target. Solutions to bargaining
come in two flavors: an axiomatic approach where desired properties of a
solution are satisfied and a strategic approach where the bargaining procedure
is modeled in detail as a sequential game.
The Bargaining problem: “Bargaining”
The term “bargaining” (according to Nash) is used to refer to a situation in which (i ) individuals (“players”) have the possibility of concluding a mutually beneficial agreement, (ii) there is a conflict of interests about which agreement to conclude, and (iii ) no agreement may be imposed on any individual without his approval . A bargaining theory is an exploration of the relation between the outcome of bargaining and the characteristics of the situation. We are not concerned with questions like “what is a just agreement?”, “what is a reasonable
outcome for an arbitrator to decide?” or “what agreement is optimal for the society at large?” Nor do we discuss the practical issue of how to

define a bargaining situation. The set
A of possible agreements may take many
forms. An agreement can simply be a
price, or it can be a detailed contract
that specifies the actions to be taken by
the parties in each of many
contingencies. One respect in which the
framework is restrictive is that it
specifies a unique outcome if the players
fail to reach agreement. The players’
attitudes toward risk play a central role
in Nash’s theory. According to the
theoretical view, “each player’s
preferences be defined on the set of
lotteries over possible agreements, not
just on the set of agreements
themselves”. There is no risk explicit in
a bargaining situation as it has been
defined However, uncertainty about other
players’ behavior, which may cause
negotiation to break down, is a natural
element in bargaining. Thus it is
reasonable for attitudes toward risk to
bargain effectively. All the theories that they317 discuss assume that the individuals are rational, and the theories abstract from any differences in bargaining skill between individuals. We consider the possibility that the individuals are not perfectly informed, but we maintain throughout the assumption that each individual has well-defined preferences over all relevant outcomes, and, when he has to choose between several alternatives, chooses the alternative that yields a most preferred outcome
▲
A two-person bargaining situation involves two individuals who have the
opportunity, either to be competitors to each-other (win-lose)[von Neumann-
Morgenstern, 1928/1947zero sum two players game” Theory] or to make
coalitions, or even to create pure individual strategies, based on bargainers’
instant reflection behavior (win-win)[ Nash, 1950
It is assumed that each player’s preference ordering on the set of lotteries over possible agreements satisfies the assumptions of von Neumann and
Morgenstern. Consequently, for each Player i there is a function
RDaui }{: called a utility function, such that one lottery
is preferred to another if and only if the expected utility of the first exceeds that of the second. Such a utility function is unique only up to a positive affine

The two-person bargaining problem is a problem of
understanding how two agents should cooperate when non-
cooperation leads to Pareto Efficient results. It is in essence
an equilibrium selection problem; many games have multiple
equilibria with varying payoffs for each player, forcing the
players to negotiate on which equilibrium to target. Solutions
to bargaining come in two flavors: an axiomatic approach
where desired properties of a solution are satisfied and a
strategic approach where the bargaining procedure is
modeled in detail as a sequential game. The bargaining
game or Nash bargaining game is a simple two-player game
used to model bargaining interactions. In the Nash
bargaining game, two players demand a portion of some
good (usually some amount of money). If the total amount
requested by the players is less than that available, both
players get their request. If their total request is greater than
that available, neither player gets their request. A Nash
bargaining solution is a Pareto Efficient solution to a Nash

Disagreement Point: The disagreement point d is the value
the players can expect to receive if negotiations break down
This point directly affects the bargaining solution, however,
so it stands to reason that each player should attempt to
choose his disagreement point in order to maximize his
bargaining position. Strategies are represented in the Nash
bargaining game by a pair (x, y), x and y are selected
from the interval [d, z], where d is the disagreement point
and z is the total amount of good. If x + y is equal to or
less than z, the first player receives x and the second y.
Otherwise both get d; often 0d There are many Nash
Equilibria in the Nash bargaining game. Any x and y such
that x + y = z is a Nash equilibrium. If either player
increases their demand, both players receive nothing. If
either reduces their demand they will receive less than if
they had demanded x or y. There is also a Nash
equilibrium where both players demand the entire good.
Here both players receive nothing, but neither player can
increase their return by unilaterally changing their strategy.

J.F. Nash focused on payoff shares/utilities combination:
Bargain may result either in agreement or disagreement. Utility expresses the
constraint or the “fear factor” of disagreement for the negotiator who desires
negotiations to be led in agreement more than the other one. Who needs
more, negotiation leading to an agreement expects more utility, but –probably
there is a loss in terms of “shares”, due to lack of risk. On the contrary, who is
indifferent about “agreement” or expects less utility /per unit, has- to win in
“shares” under the dogma “the more risk, the more profit”
It is necessary to analyze the Nash “non-cooperative- instant reflection game”
/or a “win-win perception” as follow:
Non-co-operative game, is a game between TWO (2) players/ individuals who
have opposite interests
Each player makes his own choices, based on instant reflections’ rational
movements and his physical cleverness
The game/ bargain is defined by the result (pay-off) and not by players
expectations- It presupposes best choices by both players towards meeting
individual interests [“winning strategies”]
Players/ or negotiators do not regret, a posteriori, from their own decision
taken, based on personal choices, during the bargain. Each of the players knows
a priori that the other negotiator (or player) is as clever as he is.
During the game/ bargain, a “mutual respect” between the TWO (2) bargainers
to each other’s best choices’ is necessary
It is recognized that “The more decisive to break down the negotiation (= less
utility), the more satisfied (=better shares) – the more risk, the more profit
Social behavior is not recognized as an acceptable one in the bargain, thus
deriving unfair results: That means, “who needs the agreement as the result of

Player 1 can then raise a counter-objection by claiming

The players’ preferences over X are diametrically opposed. Each player is concerned only about the share of the pie that he receives, and prefers to

ii yxifonlyandifXytoXx ..............
Note that X is the set of agreements, not the set of utility pairs; In the case of bargaining over the division
of a dollar, we interpret ix as the amount that
Player i receives. In the case of negotiating the sale
price of an indivisible good, is the price the buyer pays
to the seller. In the model of wage negotiation, 1x
is the profit of the firm. The bargaining procedure is as
a bargain, has to loose in shares, by accepting any result”.
Information may be the “link” between knowledge creation and the bargaining
process. In particular, “Information” is a power factor in pure individuals
winning strategies.
The more information, the better winning strategy, the more profit. Each of
the players / negotiators, starting negotiations with the other, expects to gain
the maximum profit.
Interaction, based on instant reflection individual winning strategies, is the base
of the Nash Non Cooperative Games Theory A two (2) 2–person anticipation is
based on utilities.
According to Nash Theory, a unique solution exists that maximises the product
of the participants’ utilities. There is, therefore an interaction between
“utilities” and “strategies” In particular, “utility” expresses individual choices
based on individual necessities “Strategies” express choices + will in personal
level, taking into account the interaction factor (the other’s choices) Utility is
the subjective and strategy is the objective factor of the same anticipation.
Negotiation may lead either to “agreement” or disagreement Utility expresses
the “fear factor” constraint of disagreement for those who desire the
agreement, more than the other negotiators.
In conclusion, at any moment –according to the “N. C. G Theory”- there is only
one “equilibrium point” at which any individual–at any moment- makes the
best choices for himself, in relation with the other persons’ best choices319.
Bargaining Problem is mainly based on “Utility Theory”- a mathematical theory
of the Neo-classical School of Thought, able to satisfactory explain individual
expectations/ anticipations, of a possible outcome. Usually it is expressed in the
form of a mathematical function, f(u) = u 1/2
The discrete entity’s “diversification rate” from globalization/ or bargaining
rules, may be the crucial parameter which would define “Local Development”
as a social cohesion result at local level
GAMEBARGAIN
A Nash bargaining solution is a Pareto efficient solution to a Nash bargaining game. Bargaining is a basic activity associated with trade. Even when a market is large and the traders in it take as given the environment in which they operate, there is room for bargaining when a pair of specific agents is matched.

NOTE:
The relationship between axiomatic bargaining solutions and equilibria of strategic models has first been studied by Nash (1953) in his pioneering paper. He considers a strategic model of bargaining that supports his axiomatic solution, namely, the Nash (1950) bargaining solution. His game consists of a single stage in which the two players simultaneously announce "demands" in terms of utilities. If these demands are compatible given the set of feasible utility vectors, then each player receives the amount he or she demanded; otherwise the disagreement event occurs. This game has many Nash equilibria. In order to refine the set of equilibria, Nash further considers a perturbed demand game and shows that if the disagreement outcome is excluded, the
management and pricing in the Marketing Science, where new definitions,
assumptions and hypotheses can examine better the marketing situations of
the bargaining processes among the seller – the buyer – the third pole (the
community).
It seems that there are some limitations in the conceptualization related to the
parameters that determine whether the seller is willing to bargain. Such
parameters are religion (for example: Jews had a limit on the allowable profit
margin) and regional customization [for example: in North America and Europe
bargaining is restricted to expensive or one-of-a-kind items (automobiles,
jewellery, art, real estate, trade sales of businesses) and informal sales settings
such as flea markets and garage sales. In other regions of the world, bargaining
may be the norm even for small commercial transactions].
In terms of empowering the win-win papakonstantinidis model
conceptualization (strongly related to the integrative/interest based
bargaining), it must be proven how the underlined conceptual model
integrated].
That’s the point of agreement, expressing “fear of breaking down the
agreement for “player” “A” and , at the same time, the risk for the “player” “B”
of breaking down the agreement. In a 2-person anticipation, each of the two (2)
bargainers may ask themselves one question, as a result of “good strategies”
[instant reflection thinking] in the bargain:
What should be the best for me, taking into account that the other person
(bargainer in a negotiation) should try for the best for himself –thus recognizing
that the other person may be as clever as I am?
According to the afore-mentioned analysis, paper contribution in the scientific
thought (2008) should be summarized in introducing “the third “WIN” for the
COMMUNITY (the third-part pole).
According to my suggestion320, COMMUNITY –the “C” factor- must participate
in any bargain by its “bargainers’ characteristics” (shares/utilities), thus adding
the THIRD “WIN” in any two bargainers’ win-win expectation between TWO
(the METRON analysis or the THREE POLES analysis), like in other fields e. g
philosophy, economy, creating an interactional flow.
By introducing the THIRD POLE in the bargain, the crucial bargainers’
QUESTION must be changed in:
All the theories that they321 discuss assume that the individuals are rational, and the theories abstract from any differences in bargaining skill between individuals. We consider the possibility that the individuals are not perfectly informed, but we maintain throughout the assumption that each individual has

only equilibrium that is robust with respect to certain perturbations in the structure of the game yields the Nash bargaining solution. The refinement used by Nash bears some similarity to Selten's (1975) "trembling hand"316 perfection. Nash's demand game has been extended and modified in other contributions. For example, Binmore (1987) has proposed a bargaining game of alternating offers and shown that the Nash bargaining solution is the limit of the unique subgame- perfect equilibrium of his game as the probability of the negotiation process breaking down approaches zero. Carlsson (1991) has studied a variation of the perturbed demand game by assuming that the players make errors in choosing their actions in the bargaining process. He shows that the equilibrium outcome converges to the Nash solution when errors go to zero. Osborne and Rubinstein (1990, Ch. 4) have provided more detailed discussions on these extensions. The purpose of all these studies is to examine the strategic foundations of cooperative bargaining solutions. In most cases, justifications of the Nash solution are obtained. Another interesting cooperative bargaining solution is the egalitarian solution developed by Kalai (1977) and Myerson (1977). Without using Nash's axiom of independence of scale of utility they have provided alternative axioms under which interpersonal comparisons of utility must be possible. These axioms lead to the proportional solution and, in a symmetric bargaining situation, the egalitarian solution. One of the main axioms in this approach is a monotonicity axiom with respect to expansions of the feasible set. An alternative is a condition that involves a step-by-step negotiation process. This axiom imposes an invariance condition under decomposition of the bargaining process into several stages. As Kalai and Myerson pointed out, step-by-step negotiation has at least two advantages. First, it makes it easier to implement a solution since the negotiation can be broken up into several stages. Second, the players do not have incentives to change the order of the negotiations. This process is likely to be observed in actual negotiations.
well-defined preferences over all relevant outcomes, and, when he has to choose between several alternatives, chooses the alternative that yields a most preferred outcome
What should be the best for me, taking into account that the other person
(bargainer in a negotiation) should try for the best for himself –thus recognizing
that the other person may be as clever as I am and, at the same time, taking
into account that COMMUNITY, as the third or invisible part also participates by
the “bargainers’ characteristics” (shares/utilities)?
We adopt the five preferences assumptions (the general included) of Osborne

In a first approach we focus on “family game” (household
“bargain)”, as a first application of “cooperation game” :
Within the household unit and in the mathematical study of
game theory scholars have defined two distinct types of
bargaining cooperative and non-cooperative In cooperative
bargaining models (also called collaborative decision
making), the outcomes of negotiations are more equally
beneficial to all members of the household, and have
therefore been considered a more “natural” means of
analyzing the family unit in comparison to non-cooperative
models. In non-cooperative bargaining models (also called
unitary decision making), personal interests motivate
individuals within the household rather than the desire to
work in a collaborative manner and maximize the benefit of
all household members As for the “economic bargain” and
generally “bargain”, within the capitalist system, the
cooperation between individuals is not casual and depends
on the payoffs of the game. These findings suggest that
humans have attitude to cooperation by nature and the
same person may act more or less cooperatively depending
on the particular payoffs. In other words, people do not act a
priori as single agents, but they forecast how the game
would be played if they formed coalitions and then they play
according to their best forecast. Valerio Carpalo323
formalized this idea and defined a new solution concept for
one-shot normal form games. He proved that this
cooperative equilibrium exists for all finite games and it
explains a number of different experimental findings, such as

suggested the substitution of the “utility theory” by the
“gains theory” due to failure to predict human behavior in
several strategic situations: “the use of utility functions and
the use of solution concepts that do not take into account
human attitude to cooperation”. While the former problem
could be theoretically overcome replacing utility functions by
gain functions and applying cumulative prospect theory, the
second problem needs a different analysis of the structure of
a game. He founded this new analysis on a seemingly
reasonable principle of cooperation. Players try to forecast
how the game would be played if they formed coalitions and
then they play according to their best forecast. To make this
idea formal, it has required some effort. Capraro observed
that passing from utility functions to gain functions implies
that he took into account new phenomena, such as
altruism and perception of gains…. He has formalized these
phenomena defining the so-called games in explicit form.
The main idea on his perception was to formalize the
principle of cooperation and define the cooperative
equilibrium for games in explicit form without using altruism
parameters and cumulative prospect theory. The reason of
this choice is that altruism and cumulative prospect theory
play an active role only on a limited class of games. It has
been shown that the cooperative equilibrium without
altruism and cumulative prospect theory already performs
well in a number of relevant games. Besides, cumulative
prospect theory starts playing an active role in bargain in
History in short on the social bargaining form :
Altruism bargain
In cooperative game theory327, the Kalai-Smorodinsky solution reopened the
study of bargaining by showing that the long unchallenged Nash solution is not
unique. He later axiomatized the Egalitarian solution328 to bargaining problems
and, with D. Samet329, formulated its extension to general (NTU) cooperative
games, unifying it with the Shapley (TU) Value. In non cooperative game theory,
the Kalai-Lehrer330 model of rational learning showed that rational players with
truth-compatible beliefs eventually learn to play Nash equilibria of repeated
games. In particular, in Bayesian equilibria of repeated games all relevant
private information eventually becomes common knowledge. Kalai's work on
large games331 showed that the equilibria of Bayesian games with many players
are structurally robust, thus large games escape major pitfalls in game-theoretic
modeling. Kalai is also known for seminal collaborative research on flow
games and totally balanced games; strategic complexity and its implications in
economics and political systems; arbitration, also, the strategic delegation and
commitments; extensions of Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem (one of the
incobabilities which the “win-win-win concept is based on
SOLUTION CONCEPT FOR GAMES WITH ALTRUISM AND COOPERATION
The exact computation of the cooperative equilibrium is hard for several
reasons. First because it goes through the computation of the equilibria in
beliefs of several18 (sub) games. These equilibria are computationally hard to

332 Quantal response equilibrium (QRE) is a solution concept in game theory. it provides an equilibrium notion with bounded
rationality QRE is not an equilibrium refinement, and it can give significantly different results from Nash Equilibrium QRE is only
defined for games with discrete strategies, although there are continuous-strategy analogues. In a quantal response
equilibrium, players are assumed to make errors in choosing which pure strategy to play. The probability of any particular
strategy being chosen is positively related to the payoff from that strategy. In other words, very costly errors are unlikely. The
equilibrium arises from the realization of beliefs. A player's payoffs are computed based on beliefs about other players'
probability distribution over strategies. In equilibrium, a player's beliefs are correct. 333 Kalai, Ehud (1977).

GAMES WITH ALTRUISM AND COOPERATION” he tried to
simulate this game with colleagues and friends and
something interesting apparently came out. One friend,
asked to play the game in the role of player 2, said: “It
depends. If player 1 is very rich, I would play 30 for sure!”.
The most common question we were asked after explaining
find Second, because it uses cumulative prospect theory that is
computationally harder than expected utility theory On one hand, the method
that we have proposed is perfectly algorithmic and therefore it might be helpful
to write a computer program to compute the cooperative equilibria and make
easier the phase of test them on easy real-life situations. On the other hand, it
would be important to investigate some computationally easier variant. Of
course, Quantal -Response-Equilibrium QRE332 can be seen as a
computationally easier variant, but this theory has the serious issue that it
would not be predictive, in the sense that one has to conduct experiments to
estimate the error parameter. One could try to avoid this problem using the
level-k theory (i.e., only bounded rationality). (6) Iterated deletion of strategies
using altruism functions in Section 8 was certainly quite sketchy and it is likely
that future researches will suggest a different procedure. In particular, the
definition of unplayable strategies of the second type for player i requires that
only one particular player j receives a large loss. It is possible that this condition
is not sufficient to convince player i to renounce to her better strategy, in case
when the players in P \ {i, j} receives a large gain. (7) We have defined altruism
functions operationally, meaning that one could theoretically compute them by
conducting an experiment on the generalized dictator game. It would be
important to find an operational way to define the fairness functions.
Egalitarian bargaining solution The egalitarian bargaining solution, introduced
by Ehud Kalai, is a third solution which drops the condition of scale invariance
while including both the axiom of Independence of irrelevant alternatives and
the axiom of monotonicity. It is the solution which attempts to grant equal gain
to both parties. In other words, it is the point which maximizes the minimum
payoff among players. Kalai333 notes that this solution is closely related to the
ideas of John Rawls334
Some philosophers and economists have recently used the Nash bargaining

the game was: “Do I know the other player?”. After asking to
imagine an anonymous situation, the most common answer
(nine out of ten) was: “Why should I hurt a person that I do
not know? I would play 0.”. One person said: “I don’t care! I
would pick a number randomly”. Of course, these cannot be

do exist. It is not yet clear to the author how to manage them

A SOLUTION CONCEPT FOR GAMES WITH ALTRUISM AND
COOPERATION
“Bargaining” is a pervasive phenomenon in modern econo-
mies, ranging from labor negotiations to trade agreements to
strategic arms limitation talks. One need only consider these
examples in the light of past experience to realize that the
potential welfare gains from improving the efficiency of
bargaining outcomes are enormous, perhaps even greater
than those that would result from a better understanding of
the effects of macroeconomic policy. Yet the problem of
designing environments to yield improved bargaining
outcomes has been all but ignored by economists.
A major part of this design problem is ensuring that
impasses are avoided as often as possible. Because such
disagreements, whether they take the form of strikes, trade
restrictions, or arms races, tend to be very costly, reducing
their likelihood is of great welfare importance. But, before
this aspect of the problem can even be approached, a theory
that relates the likelihood of disagreement to the bargaining
environment is needed. Such a theory would serve an
important purpose in guiding attempts to determine this
relationship empirically or experimentally, even if it did not
yield strong theoretical conclusions.

338
Almost all microeconomic and game-theoretic models of
bargaining beg the question of what determines the
probability of disagreement by a s s u m in g that an efficient
settlement is always reached. This is probably due to the
simple and elegant theoretical results often available under
the efficiency assumption and to the common belief that
inefficient outcomes are inconsistent with rational behavior
by well-informed bargainers. But plainly, any theory of
bargaining that assumes away the possibility of disagreement
must fail to capture an aspect of bargaining that is of central
importance in the design problem mentioned above.
Prof Crawford Visent P.(1982)324 proposed a simple
theory that explains the probability of disagreement in
bargaining, and, it is hoped, will therefore prove more useful
in studies of the design problem than existing theories. The
theory develops Schelling's325 view of the bargaining process
as a struggle between bargainers to commit themselves to—
that is, to convince their opponents that they will not retreat
from —advantageous bargaining positions. The potential
benefits of commitment are clear, since once one's opponent
is convinced his best strategy is to yield if he can. Mainly, he
proposes a simple theory to explain bargaining impasses,
which is based on Schelling's view of the bargaining process
as a struggle between bargainers to commit themselves to
favorable bargaining positions. Because bargaining impasses
are generally Pare to-inefficient, anything involving a positive
probability of impasse is Pa re to-inefficient as well. It is
demonstrated that in spite of this avoidable inefficiency,
when successful commitment is uncertain and irreversible it
can still be rational for individuals to attempt commitment
and thereby risk an impasse; in a leading special case, the
model reduces to a Prisoner's Dilemma game, in which only
strategic-dominance arguments are needed to establish this
conclusion. Further, making commitment more difficult, or
changing the costs of disagreement in a way that makes
available a wider range of settlements that are better for
both bargainers than disagreement, need not always lower
the probability of impasse, in spite of the conventional
wisdom to the contrary It is shown that if the outcome of the commitment process is both uncertain and irreversible, it can be rational for bargainers to take actions that imply a positive probability of disagreement, an outcome ex ante inferior for both to outcomes feasible through negotiation. The theory, which determines the probability or frequency of impasse endogenously, permits an evaluation of the assumption, common in the industrial relations and law and economics literature, that enlarging the set of feasible settlements that are at least as good for both bargainers as disagreement—commonly called the c o n t r a c t z o n e in this literature—makes a negotiated settlement more likely. It turns out that this need not be true: in quite "well-behaved" bargaining

The parties to a dispute refer it
to arbitration by one or more persons (the
"arbitrators", "arbiters" or "arbitral

imposes a decision that is legally binding on
both sides and enforceable in the courts

A Nash bargaining solution is a Pareto efficient solution to a Nash bargaining game.
According to referees, win-win-win papakonstantinidis model is a revolution in
Social Science Theory: By introducing the third pole (Community- in this case,
Educational Organizations, parents, etc) in any bargain between two players in
a game (through the sensitization process), this model is of great contribution
to behavioral Sciences. It forms the foundation for “Social Trust” creation,
leading to Social Cohesion (at Local Level, or School Crisis Managing).
At the same time, the win-win-win papakonstantinidis model could be applied
in a number of other fields, especially, in the marketing field:
If a marketing aspect exists in this model, then we are not quiet far from a new
era of the win- win- win papakonstantinidis model in the marketing literature.
Conceptualization can trigger a new research thrust in the fields of promotion
management and pricing in the Marketing Science, where new definitions,
assumptions and hypotheses can examine better the marketing situations of
the bargaining processes among the seller – the buyer – the third pole (the
community).
It seems that there are some limitations in the conceptualization related to the
parameters that determine whether the seller is willing to bargain. Such
parameters are religion (for example: Jews had a limit on the allowable profit
margin) and regional customization [for example: in North America and Europe
bargaining is restricted to expensive or one-of-a-kind items (automobiles,
jewellery, art, real estate, trade sales of businesses) and informal sales settings
such as flea markets and garage sales. In other regions of the world, bargaining
may be the norm even for small commercial transactions].
In terms of empowering the win-win papakonstantinidis model
conceptualization (strongly related to the integrative/interest based
bargaining), it must be proven how the underlined conceptual model
integrated].

A binomial random variable models the number of successes in n trials, where
the trials are independent and the only options on each trial are success and
failure. A generalization of this called a multinomial distribution can be
obtained by allowing more than two possibilities on each trial. When there are
three possibilities on each trial, call them "perfect", "acceptable", and "failing",
the result is a trinomial random variable.

"cooperative equilibrium"
Win-win-win papakonstantinidis model is mainly based on
Cooperative equilibrium as it has been given by Prof Valerio
Capraro and alle339
A recently introduced concept of "cooperative equilibrium",
based on the assumption that players have a natural attitude
to cooperation, has been proven a powerful tool in
predicting human behaviour in social dilemmas. In this paper,
we extend this idea to more general game models, termed
"Pareto solvable" games, which in particular include the Nash
Bargaining Problem and the Ultimatum Game. Valerio
Capraro and alle showed that games in this class possess a
unique pure cooperative equilibrium. Furthermore, for the
Ultimatum Game, this notion appears to be strongly
correlated with a suitably defined variant of the Dictator
Game. They supported this observation with the results of a
behavioral experiment conducted using Amazon Mechanical
Turk, which demonstrates that our approach allows for
making statistically precise predictions of average behaviour
in such settings340.

The binomial distribution describes the behavior of a discrete random

in one of only two possible outcomes.

The concept
of force
The idea of a force is introduced to quantify the tendency of objects to
move towards their preferred configuration. If objects accelerate very
quickly towards their preferred configuration, then we say that there’s
a big force acting on them. If they don’t move (or move at constant
velocity), then there is no force. We can’t see a force; we can only
deduce its existence by observing its effect. Specifically, forces are
defined through Newton’s laws of motion 0. A `particle’ is a small
mass at some position in space.
1. When the sum of the forces acting on a particle is zero, its velocity is
constant;
2. The sum of forces acting on a particle of constant mass is equal to
the product of the mass of the particle and its acceleration;
3. The forces exerted by two particles on each other are equal in
magnitude and opposite in direction. The second law provides the
definition of a force – if a mass m has acceleration a, the force F acting
on it is F=ma,
see bellow (R. Nave)
One of the foundation concepts of physics, a force may be thought of as any influence which tends to change the motion of an object. Our present understanding is that there are four fundamental forces in the universe, the Gravity Force the nuclear weak force, the electromagnetic force, and the nuclear strong force in ascending order of strength. In mechanics, forces are seen as the causes of linear motion, whereas the causes of rotational motion are called torques. The action of forces in causing motion is described by Newton Laws under ordinary conditions, although there are notable exceptions. Forces are inherently vector quantities, requiring vector addition to combine them. The SI unit for force is the Newton, which is defined by Newton = kg m/s2 as may be seen from Newton’s second law
Newton's Second Law
Newton's Second Law or Newton's second law of motion is probably the most famous of all of Newton's three laws of motion. Newton's second law of motion introduces one of the most famous mathematical or physics formula concerning mass, force and motion. So, what is this Newton's Second Law of Motion?
Formula for Newton's Second Law of Motion
We can imagine the bargain between 3 as the above scheme. Each of the three negotiators (A-B and “C”-community) "pulls" the
negotiation to his/r side.
[Type text]
papakonstantinidis Page 220
Newton's 2nd law of motion states that if an object of mass m which
is measured in kilograms is acted on by a force of
magnitude F measured in Newtons, the magnitude of the
acceleration a (measured in meters per second squared) can be found
according to the physics formula F equals m times a or Force is Mass
times Acceleration.
Unit of force
Force is measured in Newton which is the standard unit of mechanical force. The unit Newton is often written as capital N. What does one Newton of force mean? One Newton (N) of force is the force that it takes to make a mass of 1 kilogram accelerate at a rate of 1 meter per second squared. Since Force is mass multiplied by acceleration, the Newton is really kilogram, meter per second squared. But, all you really need to remember is that Force is measured in Newton.
That's it. Newton's 2nd Law of Motion is given by F equals m times a or mass times acceleration measured in Newton344.

Gauss's Theorema Egregium (Latin for "Remarkable Theorem") is a foundational result in differential geometry proved
by Carl Friedrich Gauss that concerns the curvature of surfaces. The theorem says that the Gaussian curvature of a surface does not change if one bends the surface without stretching it. In other words, Gaussian curvature can be determined entirely by measuring angles, distances and their rates on the surface itself, without further reference to the particular way in which the surface is embedded in the ambient 3-dimensional Euclidean space. Thus the Gaussian curvature is an intrinsic invariant of a surface. A consequence of the Theorema Egregium is that the Earth cannot be displayed on a map without distortion. The Mercator projection, shown here, preserves angles but fails to preserve area.

CHAPT III Introduction
In this chapter we try to define the “Community’s role” towards the “satisfaction level”, and
“what social enterprises are, not only for bargainers, but also for the Community (potential
revenues, coming from selling “State Bargaining Services(SBS) , toward the bargainers We have
also to “see” that “social enterprises: According to Adalbert Evers(1998)348 “…Quite often, new
forms of social and economic action have to be conceptualized and the groups concerned
seek their own vocabulary. This is also the case with regard to the development of
organisational forms of action which have been labeled as 'social purpose businesses', 'civic
enterprises', 'community businesses', 'community wealth enterprises and 'social enterprises'.
The challenge for analytical debates is that the term 'social enterprise' seems to blur exactly
those frontiers which have been deliberately constructed - between action for the public good
and private action, between social action as non-profit and enterprises as private market
organizations. The theoretical and conceptual sketch that we want to put forward suggests
that to understand social enterprises we need to see them as organizations that intertwine a
multiplicity of goals and resources. Such a theoretical orientation is to a large extent shared
with others in the field that point to the role of non-market and non-state resources like
donations and volunteering. It also underlines the fact that third-sector organizations can
integrate various social goals, ranging from serving the poor to the delivery of public goods.

Since the goal of the

the CITIZENS are given incentive to reveal their real accepted level of “bargaining State services”

A, B strategies… a1,1…a2,2…the outcomes of A and B, players correspondly
In game theory, an outcome is a set of moves or strategies taken by the players, or it is their payoffs
resulting from the actions or strategies taken by all players. The two are complementary in that, given
knowledge of the set of strategies of all players, the final state of the game is known, as are any relevant
payoffs. In a game where chance or a random event is involved, the outcome is not known from only the
set of strategies, but is only realized when the random event(s) are realized.
A set of payoffs can be considered a set of N-tuples, where N is the number of players in the game, and
the cardinality of the set is equal to the total number of possible outcomes when the strategies of the
players are varied. The payoff set can thus be partially ordered, where the partial ordering comes from the
value of each entry in the N-tuple. How players interact to allocate the payoffs among themselves is a
fundamental aspect of economics.
Choosing among outcomes: Many different concepts exist to express how players might interact. An
optimal interaction may be one in which no player's payoff can be made greater, without making any other
player's payoff lesser. Such a payoff is described as Pareto efficient, and the set of such payoffs is called
the Pareto frontier.
Many economists study the ways in which payoffs are in some sort of economic equilibrium. One example
of such an equilibrium is the Nash equilibrium, where each player plays a strategy such that their payoff is
maximized given the strategy of the other players.
Applications: Equilibria are not always Pareto efficient, and a number of game theorists design ways to
enforce Pareto efficient play, or play that satisfies some other sort of social optimality. The theory of this
is called implementation theory. Other economists seek to design games based on a certain set of
outcomes, an effort which goes under the name of mechanism design349.
First, however, here are definitions of some concepts that will be helpful in analyzing game-trees:
Node: a point at which a player chooses an action.
Initial node: the point at which the first action in the game occurs.
Terminal node: any node which, if reached, ends the game. Each terminal node corresponds to
an outcome.
349 STANFORD ENCYCLOPEDIA of PHILOSOPHY
[Type text]
papakonstantinidis Page 239
Subgame: any connected set of nodes and branches descending uniquely from one node.
Payoff: an ordinal utility number assigned to a player at an outcome.
Outcome: an assignment of a set of payoffs, one to each player in the game.
Strategy: a program instructing a player which action to take at every node in the tree where she could
possibly be called on to make a choice.
The point of representing games using trees can best be grasped by visualizing the use of them in
supporting backward-induction reasoning. Just imagine the player (or analyst) beginning at the end of the
tree, where outcomes are displayed, and then working backwards from these, looking for sets of
strategies that describe paths leading to them. Since a player's utility function indicates which outcomes
she prefers to which, we also know which paths she will prefer. Of course, not all paths will be possible
because the other player has a role in selecting paths too, and won't take actions that lead to less
preferred outcomes for him. We will present some examples of this interactive path selection, and detailed
techniques for reasoning through these examples, after we have described a situation we can use a tree to
model

That means that the “organizational structure and level of Bargaining State Services” is estimated as very
good, as 1 gets smaller and smaller, as bargainers constantly update more and more often (in fact
"suggest" over and over) expectations The more times "revise" their expectations in an environment of
security, justice and stability ensure a well-organized state, the better outcome That’s true:
If there is a fixed regime (financial, fiscal and legal provisions under) so as to ensure the highest possible
degree, the sense of justice then, each part of the deal will be in front of a very specific and limited scope
to develop its own action in the negotiation is not statism, liberalism is indeed within the operating

It is excellent”, only in the unique case of 01
But, the State asks from bargainers to pay taxes i. e the fee for the services provided to bargainers for the
security and stability of their negotiations
State bargaining behavior is defined from both the “arbitrator role” and the “Agent role”
Specifically,
The "behavior" of the State determined on:
1. political programs presenting by political parties seeking the vote of the people at the election

Suppose there are some rules. If all three players confess, each player gets 8 months in jail. If all three
players refuse to confess, each player gets 4 months. If only one player confesses, he/she walks, and the
other two gets 12 months each. Finally, if two players confess, they get 6 months each, and the third
player gets 12 months. Listed below are the outcomes with appropriate jail times for each player.
(Player 1, Player 2, Player 3) = (#, #, # )
(C, C, C) = (8, 8, 8 )
(C, NC, C) = (6, 12, 6 )
(C, C, NC) = (6, 6, 12 )
(C, NC, NC) = (0, 12, 12 )
(NC, C, C) = (12, 6, 6 )
(NC, NC, C) = (12, 12, 0 )
(NC, C, NC) = (12, 0, 12 )
(NC, NC, NC) = (4, 4, 4 )
Let’s analysis the outcomes from Player 1’s perspective: if Player 2 and Player 3 confesses, Player 1 should
confess, 12>8; if Player 2 confesses and Player 3 refuses to confess, Player 1 should confess, 12>6; if
Player 2 refuses to confess and Player 3 confesses, Player 1 should confess, 12>6; if Player 2 and Player 3
refuse to confess, Player 1 should confess, 4>0. Thus, to confess is a Dominate Strategy for Player 1, this
process works the same way for Player 2 and Player 3.
The above discussion applies only to a game in which all players perceive a specific length of jail time as
equally bad. For example, in an episode of Numb3rs, “Dirty Bomb,” mathematician Charlie Epps used
Game Theory and Risk Analysis to aid FBI agent Don Epps in interrogating three criminals. Charlie
integrated Risk Analysis into the Prisoner’s Dilemma. He argued that one criminal may have more to lose
[Type text]
papakonstantinidis Page 244
by going to jail than anther. Thus, assigning months alone to the payoff matrix may be misleading.
Charlie performed a Risk Analysis for each criminal and derived a factor for each criminal: (Player 1 = 7.9,
Player 2 = 14.9, Player 3 = 26.4). If all three criminals go to jail for the same length of time, Player 3 has
more to lose than the others. Listed below are the outcomes with appropriate jail times multiplied by risk
factors for each player.
(Player 1, Player 2, Player 3) = (#, #, # )
(C, C, C) = (63.2, 119.2, 211.2 )
(C, NC, C) = (47.4, 178.8, 158.4 )
(C, C, NC) = (47.4, 89.4, 316.8 )
(C, NC, NC) = (0, 178.8, 316.8 )
(NC, C, C) = (94.8, 89.4, 158.4 )
(NC, NC, C) = (94.8, 178.8, 0 )
(NC, C, NC) = (94.8, 0, 316.8 )
(NC, NC, NC) = (31.6, 59.6, 105.6 )
Dominate Strategy:
Player 1: C – Player 2: C → Player 3: C
Player 1: C – Player 2: NC → Player 3: C
Player 1: NC – Player 2: C → Player 3: C
Player 1: NC – Player 2: NC → Player 3: C
Player 3’s Dominate Strategy = C
Player 1: C – Player 3: C → Player 2: C
Player 1: C – Player 3: NC → Player 2: C
Player 1: NC – Player 3: C → Player 2: C
Player 1: NC – Player 3: NC → Player 2: C
Player 2’s Dominate Strategy = C
Player 3: C – Player 2: C → Player 1: C
Player 3: C – Player 2: NC → Player 1: C
[Type text]
papakonstantinidis Page 245
Player 3: NC – Player 2: C → Player 1: C
Player 3: NC – Player 2: NC → Player 1: C
Player 1’s Dominate Strategy = C
The Dominate Strategy for each player is still to confess! In Numb3rs, the FBI agent put all three
criminals into the same room. Then, the mathematician presented each criminal’s risk factor. Player 1
remained indifferent, Player 2 hesitated, and Player 3 confessed almost immediately after. The actual
outcome of the game is (NC, NC, C). Even though each player’s Dominate Strategy is to confess, it should
be considered that some players may be more motivated to confess than others. And if timing matters,
the criminal with the most to lose may confess before the others.

First of all, in the suggested “win-win-win” equilibrium” Community is the third (invisible) party of any
bargain between two; It has a distinguished presence It also claims its “own” share by the probability
Usually, the game is played by having all the players simultaneously pick their individual strategies. It will
be useful to imagine that all players pick their strategies at the same time: player 1 picks some
11 Ss player 2 picks some 22 Ss
We can describe the set of strategies chosen by
the n players as the ordered tuplen
This set of choices results in some strategy profile Ss which we call the outcome of the game.
Each player has a set of preferences over these outcomes Ss . We assume that each player’s
preferences over lotteries over S can be represented by some von Neumann-Morgenstern utility

This means that a STATE relatively weak and insufficient public services’ strategy on “bargaining sector”
(eg non-law-abiding state, tax rates instability status, etc.) is much easier to produce insufficient
outcomes:
This results in a part of the deal (the best informed because of the failure of the state to offer the same
opportunities in 2 parts) to take advantage of this “bias” for the satisfaction of their individual needs at
the highest level, without calculating the corresponding degradation of the other player’s expectations -
see CSW
Nowadays it is now very common in practice,
We support that, the
th
ixplayer must take his (her) own decision having perfect information –or even
no perfect information [Harsanyi, John C.-November 1967]351- but in “Clearly Stability Environment” –CSE
(as it concerns taxation, wages, safety….)
If something from these temporally, does not exist, the bargaining concept does not also exist:
This means that A player, even the most informed, not negotiating but impose its position on the B less
informed and thus less favored because of the state's inability to ensure stability, justice and equal
opportunities for the two negotiators; “A” takes into consideration, only his own strategy
If B is disadvantaged against the A, although they have both on the same bargaining power, then this is
attributed to the state's failure to ensure conditions of stability, justice and equal opportunities
That inequality in the negotiations reflects the state strategic planning inability to negotiate CSW

From the above theoretical definitions, payoff reflects the desirability of an outcome to a player, for
whatever reason. When the outcome is random, payoffs are usually weighted with their probabilities.
We can see at01

That means, that the
thiplayer’s final outcomes correspond to his/her expected payoffs
The
thiplayer takes into consideration only his /her best strategy, due mainly to CSW
Remember, that,

each player, which has the property that no player can unilaterally change his strategy and get a better
payoff].

Relation (1) shows that the final result (outcome) for the
thiplayer coincides with his expected
payoffs from the bargain with some probability (player’s preferences over lotteries)
As we know,
PAYOFF-OUTCOME: A payoff is a number, also called utility that reflects the desirability of an outcome to
a player, for whatever reason When the outcome is random, payoffs are usually weighted with their
probabilities. The expected payoff incorporates the player’s attitude towards risk352 PAYOFF: THE
INCETIVE: In any game, payoffs are numbers which represent the motivations of players. Payoffs may
represent profit, quantity, "utility," or other continuous measures (cardinal payoffs), or may simply rank
the desirability of outcomes (ordinal payoffs)353. In all cases, the payoffs must reflect the motivations of
the particular player. The payout a player receives from arriving at a particular outcome. The payout can
be in any quantifiable form, from dollars to UTILITY PAYOFF A payoff is a number, also called utility, that
reflects the desirability of an outcome to a player, for whatever reason. When the outcome is random,
payoffs are usually weighted with their probabilities. The expected payoff incorporates the player’s

UMBILIC POINTS- THE CARATHEODORY CONJECTION
Introduction:
Now, we need to define the domain of the suggested “win-win-win papakonstantinidis
equilibrium” As it is obvious, the domain of the “win-win-win” is found in a3R space
2#..R of
the win-win equilibrium”
A major problem that preoccupied Mathematicians from antiquity, was the formulation of the
tangent at a point a curve356.
The problem addressed in the course then known (synthetic) Euclidean Geometry. The
responses were only partial and concerned both curves. A better approach became possible
under the Analytic Geometry. Despite the significant progress made in this direction by R.
Descartes, P. Fermat and C. Huygens, again the general method of solving the problem stop
when going to tackle equations of a number higher than 3. The problem of defining the
tangent to the generality of solved using the Differential Calculus, which along with the Done;
ear Calculus exerted enormous influence on the development of mathematics. The use of
Differential Calculus to the study of geometry led to the creation of a new branch of
Differential Geometry. The development of differential geometry of curves had a fundamental
contribution of I. Newton, GW Leibniz, L. Euler, G. Monge, J. Bernoulli,

In Analytic Geometry “curve” is a set of X points (the space or level) that meet certain
conditions. For example, it can be the locus of points which satisfy a particular property
(circle, ellipse, etc.), The graph of a function RRf : , the trajectory of a mobile, etc. Our
aim is to implement methods of Differential Calculus to the study of X, and to do this you have
to see the curves as images
This in turn is reflected in Tangent in the 2R space suitable functions (continuous imaging).
Equilibrium in Three Dimensions
FREE-BODY DIAGRAMS
The first step in solving 3D equilibrium problems is to draw a free-body diagram of the body:
[Type text]
papakonstantinidis Page 265
Definition issues:
1. Equilibrium is the condition of force where it is acted but simply cancelled out. These
forces may be even large enough to cause permanent deformation.
2. CENTER OF GRAVITY The center of gravity of a body is the point where its entire
weight maybe assumed concentrated. Practical example of equilibrium and center of
gravity: A tight rope walker in a circus carries a weighted pole or an umbrella.
3. Newton’s First Law of Physics: • A body at rest will stay at rest and a body in motion
will stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Therefore, sum of all
forces must be zero. F=0 Resultant of all forces acting on a particle is zero.
4. 'Economic Equilibrium ' A condition or state in which economic forces are balanced
These economic variables will be unchanged from their equilibrium values in the

absence of external influences. Economic equilibrium may also be defined as the point
where supply equals demand for a product – the equilibrium price is where the
hypothetical supply and demand curves intersect. The term 'economic equilibrium' can
also be applied to any number of variables, such as the interest rate that allows for
the greatest growth of the banking and non-financial sector
////////////////////////////
Necessary Condition for Equilibrium • The necessary conditions for equilibrium are: (i) the
vector sum of all external forces is zero. (ii) the sum of the moments of all external forces
about any line is zero. The moment equations can be determined about any point. Usually,
choosing the point where the maximum number of unknown forces are present simplifies the
solution
Categories of equilibrium according to Force system Equilibrium Equation from Newton’s Law
• If an object is in equilibrium, then the resultant force acting on an object equals zero. This is
expressed as follows: FR F 0 (vector-equation) Some problems can be analyzed using only
2D, while others require 3D.

In differential geometry the Gaussian curvature or Gauss curvature Κ of a surface at a point is the product of the
principal covertures , κ1 and κ2, at the given point:
21 *kkK
For example, a sphere of radius r has Gaussian curvature 1/r2 everywhere, and a flat plane and a cylinder have Gaussian
curvature 0 everywhere. The Gaussian curvature can also be negative, as in the case of a hyperboloid or the inside of atourus
Gaussian curvature is an intrinsic measure of curvature depending only on distances that are measured on the surface, not on
the way it is isometrically embedded in any space. This is the content of the theorem egregium
Gaussian curvature is named after Carl Friedrich Gauss who published the Theorema egregium358 in 1827.
358
Gauss's Theorema Egregium (Latin for "Remarkable Theorem") is a foundational result in differential geometry proved
by Carl Friedrich Gauss that concerns the curvature of surfaces. The theorem says that the Gaussian curvature of a surface does not change if one bends the surface without stretching it. In other words, Gaussian curvature can be determined entirely by measuring angles, distances and their rates on the surface itself, without further reference to the particular way in which the surface is embedded in the ambient 3-dimensional Euclidean space. Thus the Gaussian curvature is an intrinsic invariant of a surface. A consequence of the Theorema Egregium is that the Earth cannot be displayed on a map without distortion. The Mercator projection, shown here, preserves angles but fails to preserve area.

From left to right: a surface of negative Gaussian curvature (hyperboloid) a surface of zero Gaussian curvature (cylinder) and
a surface of positive Gaussian curvature (sphere)
Some points on the torus have positive, some have negative, and some have zero Gaussian curvature.
At any point on a surface we can find a NORMAL VECTOR which is at right angles to the surface; planes containing the normal
are called normal planes The intersection of a normal plane and the surface will form a curve called a normal section and the
curvature of this curve is the normal curvature For most points on most surfaces, different sections will have different
curvatures; the maximum and minimum values of these are called the principal curvature call these κ1, κ2. The Gaussian
curvature is the product of the two principal curvatures Κ = κ1 κ2.
The sign of the Gaussian curvature can be used to characterize the surface
If both principal curvatures are the same sign: κ1κ2 > 0, then the Gaussian curvature is positive and the surface is said to have
an elliptic point. At such points the surface will be dome like, locally lying on one side of its tangent plane. All sectional
curvatures will have the same sign
If the principal curvatures have different signs: κ1κ2 < 0, then the Gaussian curvature is negative and the surface is said to have a
hyperbolic point. At such points the surface will be saddle shaped. For two directions the sectional curvatures will be zero
giving the asymptotic directions
If one of the principal curvatures is zero: κ1κ2 = 0, the Gaussian curvature is zero and the surface is said to have a parabolic
point.

Most surfaces will contain regions of positive Gaussian curvature (elliptical points) and regions of negative Gaussian curvature
separated by a curve of points with zero Gaussian curvature called a parabolic line
The 3-D equilibrium
o In the differential geometry of surfaces in three dimensions, umbilics or umbilical points are points on a surface
that are locally spherical. At such points the normal curvature in all directions are equal, hence, both principles
curvatures are equal, and every tangent vector is a principal direction.
o Umbilic points generally occur as isolated points in the elliptical region of the surface; that is, where the Gaussian
curvature is positive. For surfaces with genus 0 e.g. an ellipsoid, there must be at least four umbilics, a
consequence of the Poincare-Hopf theorem
o The sphere is the only surface with non-zero curvature where every point is umbilic. A flat umbilic is an umbilic
with zero Gaussian curvature.
The Carathéodory conjecture
The Conjecture claims that any convex, closed and sufficiently smooth surface in
three dimensional (3-D) Euclidean Space needs to admit at least two umbilical points
In the sense of the Conjecture, the spheroid with only two umbilic points and
the sphere all points of which are umbilic, are examples of surfaces with minimal and
maximal numbers of umbilics. For the conjecture to be well posed, or the umbilical
points to be well-defined, the surface needs to be at least twice differentiable

DEFINITIONS
DEFINITION PROBLEMS
1. VECTOR a quantity having direction as well as magnitude, especially as determining the position of one point in space relative to another. Angular momentum is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction, and can be described by three components (in three dimensions).
2. piecewise- defined function: In mathematics, a piecewise-defined function (also called a piecewise
function or a hybrid function) is a function which is defined by multiple sub-functions, each sub-function
applying to a certain interval of the main function's domain (a sub-domain). Piecewise is actually a way of
expressing the function, rather than a characteristic of the function itself, but with additional
qualification, it can describe the nature of the function. For example, a piecewise polynomial function is a
function that is a polynomial on each of its sub-domains, but possibly a different one on each.
3. B-spline: , In the mathematical subfield of numerical analysis a B-spline, or basis spline, is
a spline function that has minimal support with respect to a given degree smoothness
and domain partition. Any spline function of given degree can be expressed as a linear combination of B-
splines of that degree. Cardinal B- splines have knots that are equidistant from each other. B- splines can

NURBS Surfaces- DEFINITION:
Non-uniform Rational Basis Spline (NURBS) is a mathematical model commonly used in computer graphics for generating and
representing curves and surfaces. It offers great flexibility and precision for handling both analytic (surfaces defined by
common mathematical formulae) and modeled shapes. NURBS are commonly used in computer-aided design (CAD),
manufacturing (CAM), and engineering (CAE) and are part of numerous industry wide standards

It concerns problems of free-form object matching for the point vs. NURBS surface and the NURBS surface vs. NURBS surface
cases, and its application to copyright protection. Two new methods are developed to solve a global and partial matching
problem with no a priori information on correspondence or initial transformation and no scaling effects, namely the KH and the
umbilic method. The KH method establishes a correspondence between two objects by utilizing the Gaussian and mean
curvatures.

Umbilical points -definition:
Umbilicus =navel (a) The mark on the surface of the abdomen of mammals where the umbilical cord wasattached during
Gestation. Also called umbilicus (b). A central point; a middle Middle English, from Old English nafela;
In the differential geometry of surfaces in three dimensions, umbilics or umbilical points are points on a surface that are
locally spherical. At such points the normal curvature in all directions are equal, hence, both principal curvatures are equal,
and every tangent vector is a principal direction. The name "umbilic" comes from the Latin umbilicus that means navel
The umbilic method uses the qualitative properties of umbilical points to find correspondence information between two
objects. These two methods are extended to deal with uniform scaling effects. The umbilic method is enhanced with an
algorithm for scaling factor estimation using the quantitative properties of umbilical points. The KH method is used as a
building block of an optimization scheme based on the golden section search which recovers iteratively an optimum scaling
factor. Since the golden section search only requires an initial interval for the scaling factor, the solution process is simplified
compared to iterative optimization algorithms, which require good initial estimates of the scaling factor and the rigid body
transformation. The matching algorithms are applied to problems of copyright protection. A suspect model is aligned to an
original model through matching methods so that similarity between two geometric models can be assessed to determine if
the suspect model contains part(s) of the original model. Three types of tests, the weak, intermediate and strong tests, are
proposed for similarity assessment between two objects. The weak and intermediate tests are performed at node points
obtained through shape intrinsic wire framing. The strong test relies on isolated umbilical points which can be used as
fingerprints of an object for supporting an ownership claim to the original model. The three tests are organized in two decision
algorithms so that they produce systematic and statistical measures for a similarity decision between two objects in a
hierarchical manner. Based on the systematic statistical evaluation of similarity, a decision can be reached whether the suspect
model is a copy of the original model359..

on the sphere that doesn't correspond to a point in the plane is the projection point N, and it corresponds to the point at

The concept of force
In classical mechanics, the concept of a `force’ is based on experimental observations that
everything in the universe seems to have a preferred configuration: – masses appear to attract
each other; objects with opposite charges attract one another; magnets can repel or attract
one another; But we don’t really know why this is (except perhaps the last one).
1. Force is associated with the body till it is in motion. 2. When a body is at rest the force
acting on it is zero. 3. Force is always in the same direction as the velocity of the body. 4. If
the velocity is changing then the force is also changing. 5. Centripetal force and centrifugal
force both act on the body moving uniformly in a circle. 6. The action-reaction forces act on
the same body. 7. The product of mass and acceleration is a force. 8. Only animate things like
people and animals exert forces; passive ones like tables, floors do not exert forces. 9. A force
applied by, say a hand, still acts on the object even after the object leaves the hand360.
The idea of a force is introduced to quantify the tendency of objects to move towards their
preferred configuration. If objects accelerate very quickly towards their preferred
configuration, then we say that there’s a big force acting on them. If they don’t move (or move
at constant velocity), then there is no force. We can’t see a force; we can only deduce its
existence by observing its effect. Specifically, forces are defined through Newton’s laws of
motion 0. A `particle’ is a small mass at some position in space.
1. When the sum of the forces acting on a particle is zero, its velocity is constant;

papakonstantinidis Page 281
2. The sum of forces acting on a particle of constant mass is equal to the product of the mass
of the particle and its acceleration;
3. The forces exerted by two particles on each other are equal in magnitude and opposite in
direction. The second law provides the definition of a force – if a mass m has acceleration a,
the force F acting on it is
F =ma

plastic bodies in static or dynamic contact. Central aspects in contact
mechanics are the pressures and adhesion acting perpendicular to the

Cauchy stress tensor ,
In continuum mechanics, the Cauchy stress tensor ,true stress tensor,362 or simply called
the stress tensor is a second order tensor named after Augustin-Louis Cauchy. The tensor
consists of nine components that completely define the state of stress at a point inside a
material in the deformed state, placement, or configuration. The tensor relates a unit-length
direction vector n to the stress vectorT(n) across an imaginary surface perpendicular to n:

The Cauchy stress tensor obeys the tensor transformation law under a change in the
system of coordinates. A graphical representation of this transformation law is

Now, we have to prove that a space curve with the identically zero torsion363 is contained in a
plane: Let k(s) > 0 be the curvature of the space curve as a function of the arc length
parameter s ∈ (a, b). By the fundamental theorem for plane curves there exists a plane curve
with this curvature function. Considered as a space curve, this curve has the same curvature
function and identically zero torsion. By the fundamental theorem for space curves, this plane
curve can be identified with the original space curve by a rigid motion of the space. Thus the
original curve is contained in a plane364
3. 3D Elasticity365
363 In the elementary differential geometry of curves in three dimensions, the torsion of a curve measures how sharply it is twisting out of the plane of curvature. Taken together, the curvature and the torsion of a space curve are analogous to the curvature of a plane curve- the notion of torsion is a manner of characterizing a twist or screw of a moving frame a around a curve 364 https://math.berkeley.edu/~giventh/hw140s.pdf 365 Suvranu De(2014) Introduction to 3D Elasticity MANE 4240 & CIVL 4240 Introduction to Finite Elements

The fundamental theorem of calculus is a theorem that links the concept of the derivative of a function with the
concept of the function's integral
The first part of the theorem, sometimes called the first fundamental theorem of calculus, is that the definite
integration of a function is related to its anti-derivative and can be reversed by differentiation. This part of the
theorem is also important because it guarantees the existence of anti-derivatives for continuous functions
The second part of the theorem, sometimes called the second fundamental theorem of calculus, is that the definite
integral of a function can be computed by using any one of its infinitely-many anti-derivatives This part of the
theorem has key practical applications because it markedly simplifies the computation of definite integrals

DIFFERENTIAL GEOMETRY- DEFINITIONS:
[Type text]
papakonstantinidis Page 290
1. The branch of mathematics that deals with the application of the principles of differential and
integral calculus to the study of curves and surfaces367
2. Differential geometry is a mathematical discipline that uses the techniques of differential
calculus integral calculus linear algebra and multi-linear algebra to study problems in geometry.
The theory of plane and space curves and surfaces in the three-dimensional Euclidian space
formed the basis for development of differential geometry during the 18th century and the 19th
century. Differential Geometry has its origins in the discovery in the 17th century calculus. The
concept of derivative of a function is essentially identical to that of a tangent curve, or even with
the curve
3. DIFFERENTIAL GEOMETRY OF CURVES AND SURFACES368 is the branch of geometry that deals with
smooth curves in the plane and in the Euclidean Space by methods of differential and integral
calculus Starting in antiquity, many concrete curves have been thoroughly investigated using
the synthetic approach Differential Geometry takes another path: curves are represented in a
parametrized form (see at below) and their geometric properties and various quantities
associated with them, such as the curvature and the arc length, are expressed via derivatives and
integrals using vector calculus One of the most important tools used to analyze a curve is the
Frenet frame, a moving frame that provides a coordinate system at each point of the curve that is
"best adapted" to the curve near that point.
4. The theory of curves is much simpler and narrower in scope than the theory of surfaces and its
higher-dimensional generalizations, because a regular curve in a Euclidean space has no intrinsic
geometry. Any regular curve may be parametrized by the arc length (the natural
parameterization) and from the point of view of a bug on the curve that does not know anything
about the ambient space, all curves would appear the same. Different space curves are only
distinguished by the way in which they bend and twist. Quantitatively, this is measured by the
differential-geometric invariants called the curvature and the torsion of a curve. The

fundamental theorem of curves asserts that the knowledge of these invariants completely
determines the curve.
THE TWO (2) FUNDAMENTAL FORMS
In differential geometry the first fundamental form is the inner product i on the tangent space of
a surface in three-dimensional Euclidean Space which is induced canonically form of the dot
product of R3. It permits the calculation of curvature and metric properties of a surface such as
length and area in a manner consistent with the ambient space The first fundamental form is
denoted by the Roman numeral I,
Let X(u, v) be a parametric surface Then the inner product of two tangent vectors is:
where E, F, and G are the coefficients of the first fundamental form.
The first fundamental form may be represented as a symmetry matrix
In differential geometry the fundamental theorem of space curves states that every regular curve in
three-dimensional space, with non-zero curvature, has its shape (and size) completely determined by its
curvature and torsion
[Type text]
papakonstantinidis Page 292
In differential geometry the second fundamental form (or shape tensor) is a quandic form of the
tangent plane of smooth surface in the three-dimensional Euclidean Space usually denoted
by (read "two"). Together with the first fundamental form it serves to define extrinsic
invariants of the surface, its principal curvatures. More generally, such a quadratic form is

5. Since the late 19th century, differential geometry has grown into a field concerned more
generally with the geometric structures on differential manifolds Differential geometry is closely
related to differential topology and the geometric aspects of the theory of differential equations
The differential geometry of surfaces - captures many of the key ideas and techniques
characteristic of this field.
6. Differential geometry arose and developed as a result of and in connection to the mathematical
analysis of curves and surfaces. Mathematical analysis of curves and surfaces had been
developed to answer some of the nagging and unanswered questions that appeared in Calculus,
like the reasons for relationships between complex shapes and curves, series and analytic
functions These unanswered questions indicated greater, hidden relationships and symmetries in

nature, which the standard methods of analysis could not address. When curves, surfaces
enclosed by curves, and points on curves were found to be quantitatively, and generally, related
by mathematical forms the formal study of the nature of curves and surfaces became a field of
study in its own right, with Monge’s paper in 1795369, and especially, with Gauss’s370 publication
of his article, titled “Disquisitiones Generales Circa Superficies Curvas”, in “Commentationes
Societatis Regiae Scientiarum Gottingesis Recentiores” in 1827. Besides, Gauß371 discovered that
every natural number can be expressed as the sum of one, two or three triangular numbers
«num = » which is one of the basic principles of the "win-win-win
papakonstantinidis model’s math approach»
7. Initially applied to the Euclidean space, further explorations led to non-Euclidean space, and
metric and topological spaces.
6. PARAMETERIZATION
Parameterization (or parameterization) is the process of deciding and defining the parameters necessary
for a complete or relevant specification of a model or geometric object. [citation needed]
Parameterization is also the process of finding parametric equations of a curve, a surface, or, more
generally, a manifold or a variety, defined by an implicit equation. The inverse process is called
implicitization.
Sometimes, this may only involve identifying certain parameters or variables. If, for example, the model is
of a wind turbine with a particular interest in the efficiency of power generation, then the parameters of
interest will probably include the number, length and pitch of the blades.
Most often, parameterization is a mathematical process involving the identification of a complete set of
effective coordinates or degrees of freedom of the system, process or model, without regard to their

utility in some design. Parameterization of a line, surface or volume, for example, implies identification of
a set of coordinates that allows one to uniquely identify any point (on the line, surface, or volume) with an
ordered list of numbers. Each of the coordinates can be defined parametrically in the form of a parametric
curve (one-dimensional) or a parametric equation (2+ dimensions).

FUNDAMENTAL FORMS OF A GENERAL PARAMETRIC SURFACE
Classical notation
First fundamental: A smooth curve lying in the surface is a map t 7→ (u(t), v(t)) with derivatives
of all orders such that γ(t) = r(u(t), v(t)) is a parametrized curve in R3 .
The second fundamental form of a general parametric surface is defined as follows.

valued function of two variables. It is common to denote the partial derivatives of r with
respect to vu randrbyvandu ......,...... Regularity of the parameterization means
that vu randr .... are linearly independent for any (ump) in the domain of r, and hence span the
tangent plane to S at each point. Equivalently, the cross product vu rr * is a nonzero vector
normal to the surface. The parameterization thus defines a field of unit normal vectors n:

Although analytical investigations are often restricted to Gaussian fields, phenomena
described by nonlinear laws (such as the dynamics of inflation that produced the cosmic
background radiation) produce non-Gaussian signals. Quite often, the observable signal is
averaged over a large scale, producing approximately Gaussian statistics on account of the
central limit theorem, thus masking the nonlinearity. Nevertheless, the surviving tiny
departures from Gaussianity can carry a crucial signature of the nonlinear microscopic
mechanisms at the heart of the phenomena. As an illustration, consider a low-resolution
measurement of the spatial magnetization of a material well above the critical temperature.
The magnetization fluctuates like a Gaussian random variable—each region contains many
domains oriented up or down in arbitrary proportion. However, a small non-Gaussian
contribution remains, because there is a maximum possible magnetization per unit area that
can be traced all of the way down to the quantization of the spin of the electrons, and hence
the probability distribution cannot exhibit Gaussian tails.
To unveil such elusive effects, one needs an indicator that is sensitive to both short distances
and small signals. The most common tool used to probe the statistics of a random field is to
measure its correlation functions. For example, the statistical properties of a random scalar
field, , with Gaussian statistics, are entirely determined by its two-point correlation
function , and its higher-order correlation functions can be written simply as
the sum of products of two-point correlation functions. The non-factorizability of these
higher-order correlation functions is one of the standard indicators of non-Gaussian
statistics.
Here we focus on a more geometric approach: view the scalar field as the height of a surface
and study its random topography to infer the statistical properties of the signal (Fig. 1, Inset).
The densities of peaks and troughs, or of topological defects in the curvature lines known as
umbilics (Fig. 1), are sensitive indicators of how jagged the height field is at short distances;
as we shall see, they provide an independent pipeline to detect non-Gaussianities, distinct
from multiple-point correlation functions. This geometric approach has been applied
successfully to track the power spectrum of a Gaussian field, and it has been the subject of
extensive theoretical and experimental studies
EIGENVECTOR OR CHARACTERISTIC VECTOR
In linear algebra, an eigenvector or characteristic vector of a square matrix is a vector that
does not change its direction under the associated linear transformation. In other words—if v
is a vector that is not zero, then it is an eigenvector of a square matrix A if Av is a scalar
multiple of v. This condition could be written as the equation:
lvAv
where λ is a scalar known as the eigenvalue or characteristic value associated with the
eigenvector v.
[Type text]
papakonstantinidis Page 298
Geometrically, an eigenvector corresponding to a real, nonzero eigenvalue points in a
direction that is stretched by the transformation and the eigenvalue is the factor by which it is
stretched. If the eigenvalue is negative, the direction is reversed
Eigenvalue (IDIOTIMH) of a linear transformation \ Alpha is the change in meter (possibly in
time) of a vector, which is below the transformation \ Alpha remains unchanged as to the
address An \ Alpha is an n * n matrix, then a nonzero vector x in R ^ n called eigenvector of \
Alpha if the \ Alpha x is a scalar multiple of x. That is, if for some scalar value \ lambda
applies: \ Alpha x = \ lambda x then the scalar value \ lambda called eigenvalue of \ Alpha
and say that x is an eigenvector of \ Alpha corresponding to \ lambda.
There is a correspondence between n by n square matrices and linear transformations from
an n-dimensional vector space to itself. For this reason, it is equivalent to define eigenvalues
and eigenvectors using either the language of matrices or the language of linear
transformations.
In this shear mapping the red arrow changes direction but the blue arrow does not. The blue
arrow is an eigenvector of this shear mapping because it doesn't change direction, and since
its length is unchanged, its eigenvalue is 1.

We prove that the half-integer valued index of an isolated umbilic point on a smooth convex
surface in Euclidean 3-space is less than 2. This follows from a localization of the authors'
proof of the global Caratheodory conjecture.
The link between the two is a semi-local technique that we term "totally real blow-up".
Topologically, given a real surface in a complex surface, the totally real blow-up is the
connect sum of the real surface with an embedded real projective plane. We show that this
[Type text]
papakonstantinidis Page 299
increases the sum of the complex indices of the real surface by 1, and hence cancels isolated
hyperbolic complex points.
This leads to a reduction of the local result to the global result (the non-existence of
embedded Lagrangian surfaces with a single complex point), which proves that the umbilic
index for smooth surfaces is less than 2.
Comparison of our smooth result with that of Hans Hamburger in the real analytic case
(stating that the index of an isolated umbilic point on a real analytic convex surface is less
than or equal to 1) suggests the existence of "exotic" umbilic points of index 3/2372.
Foliation by Umbilic surfaces
Suppose (M,g) denotes a Riemannian manifold with boundary that is a foliation by Umbilic
surfaces. (As an example consider a manifold where the exists a unit parallel vector field) .
Is it realistic to try to show existence of other Umbilic surfaces in this manifold obtained via
Local diffeomorphisms for example tilting the leaves?
To clarify this question consider a manifold which has a unit parallel vector field , i.e a
cylinder.
Now if x3 denotes the transverse coordinate then the { x_3=c } surfaces are umbilic. On the
other hand if one takes the normal coordinates (x1,x2) on a leaf along with x3 as the new
coordinates then x2=c surfaces will also be umbilic!

In mathematics, curvature is any of a number of loosely related concepts in different areas of geometry.
Intuitively, curvature is the amount by which a geometric object deviates from being flat, or straight in the
case of a line, but this is defined in different ways depending on the context. There is a key distinction
between extrinsic curvature, which is defined for objects embedded in another space (usually a Euclidean
space) in a way that relates to the radius of curvature of circles that touch the object, and intrinsic
curvature, which is defined at each point in a Riemannian manifold. This article deals primarily with the
first concept.

Let M be a surface in 3R and let MP be a point. Let )(MTPv be a unit tangent vector. We
want to introduce the concept of the normal curvature of M at P in the direction v.
To do so, take any arc-length parametrized curve α in M such that vaPa )0(,)0( (passing
through the point P and having v as its tangent vector at P) The value of the normal curvature of a at
the point P (i.e. t = 0) is independent of the choice of α, only depends on the unit-tangent vector v
The intersection of a normal plane and the surface will form a curve called a normal section and
the curvature of this curve is the normal curvature.

In mathematics, an implicit equation is a relation of the form R(x1,..., xn) = 0, where R is a function of
several variables (often a polynomial). For example, the implicit equation of the unit circle is

(or non-positive) values for the values of the function. An implicit function is a function that is defined

arguments)
In the mathematical field of algebraic geometry, a singular point of an algebraic variety V374 is
a point P that is 'special' (so, singular), in the geometric sense that at this point the tangent
space at the variety may not be regularly defined. In case of varieties defined over the reals,
this notion generalizes the notion of non-local flatness375. A point of an algebraic variety
which is not singular is said to be regular. An algebraic variety which has no singular point is
said to be non singular or smooth376.
For example, the plane algebraic curve (a cubic curve) of equation 0)1(22 xxy which
is plotted below, crosses itself at the origin (0,0) and the origin is thus a double point of the
curve. It is singular because a single tangent may not be correctly defined there377.
The canonical example of extrinsic curvature is that of a circle, which everywhere has
curvature equal to the reciprocal of its radius. Smaller circles bend more sharply, and hence
have higher curvature. The curvature of a smooth curve is defined as the curvature of its
osculating circle at each point.

In the mathematical field of algebraic geometry, a singular point of an algebraic variety V is a
point P that is 'special' (so, singular), in the geometric sense that at this point the tangent
space at the variety may not be regularly defined. In case of varieties defined over the reals,

is not singular is said to be regular. An algebraic variety which has no singular point is said to
be non singular or smooth.
A curve can be described, and thereby defined, by a pair of scalar fields: curvature and
torsion, both of which depend on some parameter which parameterizes the curve but which
can ideally be the arc length of the curve. From just the curvature and torsion, the vector fields
for the tangent, normal, and bi-normal vectors can be derived using the Frenet-Serret
formulas378. Then, integration of the tangent field (done numerically, if not analytically) yields

Definition of Gaussian Curvature379
For an intuitive understanding, imagine a flat sheet of paper (or just grab one in your hand). It
has zero Gaussian curvature. If you take that sheet and bend it or roll it up into a tube or twist
it into a cone, its Gaussian curvature stays zero.
Indeed, since paper isn't particularly elastic, pretty much anything you can do to the sheet that
still lets you flatten it back into a flat sheet without wrinkles or tears will preserve its Gaussian
curvature. Now take that sheet and wrap it over a sphere. You'll notice that you have to wrinkle
the sheet, especially around the edges, to make it conform to the sphere's surface. That's
because a sphere has positive Gaussian curvature, and so the circumference of a circle drawn
on a sphere is less than π π times its diameter. The wrinkles on the paper are where you have
to fold it to get rid of that excess circumference.
Similarly, if you tried to wrap the sheet of paper over a saddle-shaped surface, you'd find that
you would have to tear it (or crumple it in the middle) to make it lie on the surface. That's
because, on a surface with negative Gaussian curvature, the circumference of a circle is longer
than ππ times its diameter, and so, to make a flat sheet lie along such a surface, you either
have to tear it to increase the circumference, or wrinkle it in the middle to reduce the radius.
Indeed, in nature, plants can produce curved or wrinkled leaves simply by altering the rate at
which the edges of the leaf grow as compared to the center, which alters the Gaussian
curvature of the resulting surface, as in this picture of ornamental kale

379 The normal (or Gaussian) distribution is a very common continuous probability distribution Normal distributions are important in statistics and are often used in the natural and social sciences to represent real-valued random variables whose distributions are not known The normal distribution is remarkably useful because of the central limit theorem In its most general form, under some conditions (which include finite variance ), it states that averages of random variables independently drawn from independent distributions converge in distribution to the normal, that is, become normally distributed when the number of random variables is sufficiently large.

The densities of peaks and troughs, or of topological defects in the curvature lines known as umbilics (Fig. 1), are sensitive indicators of how jagged the height field is at short distances; as we shall see, they provide an independent pipeline to detect non-Gaussianities, distinct from multiple-point correlation functions.

The Gaussian curvature: DEFINITION
Gauss's Theorema Egregium (Latin for "Remarkable Theorem") is a foundational result
in differential geometry proved by Carl Friedrich Gauss that concerns the
curvature of surfaces.
Gauss presented the theorem in this way (translated from Latin):
The Gaussian curvature is the ratio of the solid angle subtended by the normal projection of a
small patch divided by the area of that patch.
The fact that this ratio is based totally on the definition of distance within the surface
(independent of the embedding of the surface; that is, bending and twisting, etc.) is
Gauss' Theorema Egregium
The Gaussian curvature of surfaces
The theorem says that the Gaussian curvature of a surface does not change if one bends the
surface without stretching it. In other words, Gaussian curvature can be determined entirely by
measuring angles, distances and their rates on the surface itself, without further reference to
the particular way in which the surface is embedded in the ambient 3-dimensional Euclidean
space. Thus the Gaussian curvature is an intrinsic invariant of a surface.
[Type text]
papakonstantinidis Page 307
Thus the formula of the preceding article leads itself to the remarkable Theorem. If a curved
surface is developed upon any other surface whatever, the measure of curvature in each point
remains unchanged.
The theorem is "remarkable" because the starting definition of Gaussian curvature makes
direct use of position of the surface in space. So it is quite surprising that the result
does not depend on its embedding in spite of all bending and twisting deformations
undergone.
In modern mathematical language, the theorem may be stated as follows:
The Gaussian Curvature of a surface is invariant under local isometric
A sphere of radius R has constant Gaussian curvature which is equal to 1/R2. At the same
time, a plane has zero Gaussian curvature. As a corollary of Theorema Egregium, a piece of
paper cannot be bent onto a sphere without crumpling. Conversely, the surface of a sphere
cannot be unfolded onto a flat plane without distorting the distances. If one were to step on
an empty egg shell, its edges have to split in expansion before being flattened. Mathematically
speaking, a sphere and a plane are not isometric, even locally. This fact is of enormous
significance for cartography: it implies that no planar (flat) map of Earth can be perfect, even
for a portion of the Earth's surface. Thus every cartographic projection necessarily distorts at
least some distances (APPENDIX)

PRINCIPAL CURVATURES
In differential geometry, the two principal curvatures at a given point of a surface are the
eigenvalues of the shape operator at the point. They measure how the surface bends by
different amounts in different directions at that point At each point p of a differentiable
surface in 3-dimensional Euclidean space one may choose a unit normal vector. A normal
plane at p is one that contains the normal vector, and will therefore also contain a unique
direction tangent to the surface and cut the surface in a plane curve, called normal section.

The major and minor axes of the small ellipses represent the direction and relative size of

direction of maximal curvature. At some points the curvature is the same along all directions
(the equivalent polarization is circular); these are called umbilical points, of which there are
three types, all shown in this image: (Upper Left) Lemon; (Upper Right) star; (Lower Right)

In this paper, we introduce the key physical concepts and mathematical techniques necessary
to study the stochastic geometry of signals that can be described as a Gaussian random field
plus a perturbation that we wish to track. We first show how to treat non-Gaussianities within
a local approximation and calculate how the statistics of extrema change when a nonlinear
transformation is applied locally to a Gaussian field . Then we consider the case
of fields that cannot be probed directly, by calculating the statistics of umbilical points, which
are topological defects of the lines of principal curvature Finally, we turn to a class of

spatial gradients that couple values of the field at different locations. As an illustration, we
solve explicitly for the nonlocal non-Gaussianities generated dynamically by the

Another word for a C^infty (infinitely differentiable) manifold, also called a differentiable
manifold. A smooth manifold is a topological manifold together with its "functional structure"
(Bredon 1995) and so differs from a topological manifold because the notion of
differentiability exists on it. Every smooth manifold is a topological manifold, but not
necessarily vice versa. (The first nonsmooth topological manifold occurs in four dimensions.)
Milnor (1956) showed that a seven-dimensional hypersphere can be made into a smooth
manifold in 28 ways.

The classification of umbilics is closely linked to the classification of real cubic
forms .
A cubic form will have a number of root lines such that the cubic form is zero for all
real . There are a number of possibilities including:
Three distinct lines: an elliptical cubic form, standard model .
Three lines, two of which are coincident: a parabolic cubic form, standard
model .
A single real line: a hyperbolic cubic form, standard model .
Three coincident lines, standard model
The equivalence classes of such cubics under uniform scaling form a three-dimensional real
projective space and the subset of parabolic forms define a surface – called the umbilic
bracelet by Christopher Zeeman Taking equivalence classes under rotation of the coordinate
system removes one further parameter and a cubic forms can be represent by the complex
cubic form with a single complex parameter . Parabolic
forms occur when , the inner deltoid, elliptical forms are inside the
deltoid and hyperbolic one outside. If and is not a cube root of unity then the
cubic form is a right-angled cubic form which play a special role for umbilics.
If then two of the root lines are orthogonal
Fundamental Forms in determining the metric properties of a surface
There are three types of so-called fundamental forms381. The most important are the first
and second (since the third can be expressed in terms of these). The fundamental forms are
extremely important and useful in determining the metric properties of a surface, such as Line
element line element, area element, normal curvature Gaussian curvature and mean curvature
. Let be a regular surface with points in the tangent space of . Then the first
fundamental form is the inner product of tangent vectors,
(1)

Quadric surfaces are the graphs of quadratic equations in three Cartesian variables in space. Like the
graphs of quadratics in the plane, their shapes depend on the signs of the various coefficients in their
quadratic equations.
Spheres and Ellipsoids: A sphere is the graph of an equation of the form x2 + y2 + z2 = p2 for some real
number p. The radius of the sphere is p (see the figure below). Ellipsoids are the graphs of equations of
[Type text]
papakonstantinidis Page 316
the form ax2 + by2 + cz2 = p2, where a, b, and c are all positive. In particular, a sphere is a very special
ellipsoid for which a, b, and c are all equal.
x2 + y2 + z2 = 4
Paraboloids
Surfaces whose intersections with planes perpendicular to any two of the coordinate axes are parabolas in
those planes are called paraboloids. An example is shown in the figure below -- this is the graph
of z = x2 + y2.
The surface in the following figure is the graph of z = x2 - y2. In this case, the intersections with planes
perpendicular to the x- and y-axes are still parabolas, but the two sets of parabolas differ in the direction
in which they point. For reasons we will see, this surface is called a hyperbolic paraboloid -- and, for
obvious reasons, it is also called a "saddle surface."

DEFINITION 1
An umbilical point, (also called simply an umbilic), is a point on a surface at which the curvature is the same in any direction.
all the normal curvatures are equal in all directions and hence principal directions are indeterminate (MIT DEC 2009) Thus, the orthogonal net of lines of curvatures become singular at an umbilic
A principal curve on a surface is a curve whose velocity always points in a principal direction, that is, a
direction in which the normal curvature is a maximum or a minimum. In Section 19.1, we derive the
differential equation for the principal curves on a patch in R3 and give examples of its solution. As in
Section 18.2, the idea then is to re-parameterize a surface with specified coordinate curves.
An umbilic point on a surface is a point at which the principal curvatures are equal, so that at such
a point it is not possible to distinguish principal directions. Every point of a sphere is an umbilic
point. If a regular surface M C R3 consists entirely of umbilic points, then it is (perhaps not
surprisingly) part of a plane or sphere. For surfaces such as an ellipsoid
with a, b, c distinct, the umbilic points are isolated and can be considered to be degenerate principal

As well as being mathematically interesting in its own right the differential geometry of curved surfaces is important in a number of physical problems. This work takes into consideration the
classification and statistics of the simplest singular points386 on a surface Σ that do not depend on the orientation of Σ in space. These are the 'umbilic points', defined as places where the two principal curvatures of Σ are equal. In optics Σ might be a smooth wave-front produced for example by transmission of a plane wave through an irregular refracting medium or reflection from an undulating surface. Then the normals to Σ are the rays of geometrical optics; the rays through umbilic points on Σ pass through the singular 'anastigmatic points' of the 'focal surface' that consists of the envelope of all
the rays. It is near these focal points that the wave attains its greatest intensity (Berry 1976)387.
Conclusions (Berry 1975):
386 In mathematics a singularity is in general a point at which a given mathematical object is not defined, or a point of an
exceptional set where it fails to be well- behaved in some particular way, such as differentiability
For example, the function on the real line has a singularity at x = 0, where it seems to "explode" to ±∞ and is not
defined. The function g(x) = |x| (see absolute value) also has a singularity at x = 0, since it is not differentiable there. Similarly,
the graph defined by y2 = x also has a singularity at (0,0), this time because it has a "corner" (vertical tangent) at that point. The
algebraic set defined by in the (x, y) coordinate system has a singularity (singular point) at
(0, 0) because it does not admit a tangent there. 387

curves. In fact, each looks very much like a navel, hence the name. The four umbilic points on an ellipsoid (with a, b, c distinct) are easy to locate visually, provided one draws the ellipsoid
An obvious example of a surface consisting entirely of umbilical points is a sphere
Actually, spheres and planes are the only surfaces, all of whose points are umbilical The number of umbilics on a surface is often finite and they are isolated
Umbilics has generic futures and may act as fingerprints for shape recognition
At un umbilic the directions of principal curvature can no longer be evaluated by second order derivatives and higher order derivatives are necessary to compute the lines of curvature, near the umbilic

points are points on a surface that are locally spherical. At such points the normal

curvature in all directions are equal, hence, both principal curvatures are equal, and every
tangent vector is a principal direction390
The sphere is the only surface with non-zero curvature where every point is umbilic.
A flat umbilic is an umbilic with zero Gaussian curvature.
An umbil ic point U on a surface Σ is a place where the two principal
curvatures of Σ are equal . U is a singularity of Σ in three different senses: ( i )
it is the source of elliptic (E) or hyperbolic (H) umbilic catastrophes in the
envelope of normals ( ' focal surface' ) of Σ ; ( i i ) it has index 2
1 depending on
whether the principal curvature directions of Σ (defining the lines of
curvature) rotate by during a circuit of U; ( i i i ) i t has a pattern of the
'star' (S) , ' lemon' (L) or 'monstar' (M) type depending on the configuration
of l ines of curvature near U 391.
DEFINITION 3: In the differential geometry of surfaces in three dimensions, umbilics or
umbilical points are points on a surface that are locally spherical. At such points the normal
curvature in all directions are equal, hence, both principal curvatures are equal, and every
tangent vector is a principal direction. The name "umbilic" comes from the Latin umbilicus -
navel392
Umbilic points generally occur as isolated points in the elliptical region of the surface; that is,
where the Gaussian curvature is positive.
The sphere is the only surface with non-zero curvature where every point is umbilic. A flat
umbilic is an umbilic with zero Gaussian curvature. The monkey saddle is an example of a
surface with a flat umbilic and on the plane every point is a flat umbilic.
The three main types of umbilic points are elliptical umbilics, parabolic umbilics and

hyperbolic umbilics.
Elliptical umbilics have the three ridge lines393 passing through the umbilic and hyperbolic
umbilics have just one.
Parabolic umbilics are a transitional case with two ridges one of which is singular. Other
configurations are possible for transitional cases. These cases correspond to the D4−, D5 and
D4+ elementary catastrophes
Umbilics can also be characterised by the pattern of the principal direction vector field
around the umbilic which typically form one of three configurations: star, lemon, and
lemonstar (or monstar). The index of the vector field is either −½ (star) or ½ (lemon,
monstar). Elliptical and parabolic umbilics always have the star pattern, whilst hyperbolic
umbilics can be star, lemon, or monstar (Darboux)394
Table: Four (4) types of explicit quadratic surfaces according to α and β
Other configurations are possible for transitional cases. We note “configurations of lines of
curvature near umbilics” as follow:

curvature The set of ridge points form curves on the surface called ridges The ridges of a given surface fall into two families,
typically designated red and blue, depending on which of the two principal curvatures has an extremum.
At umbilical points the colour of a ridge will change from red to blue. There are two main cases: one has three ridge lines
passing through the umbilic, and the other has one line passing through it. 394 Darboux Fred (2009) Function in a Hypersurface of a Riemannian Manifold with Semi-Symmetric Metric Connection” Oscillator with Discontinuity by Variational Approach", 1, No. 10, 2009 (Darboux classification)

EXAMPLE:
Lemma A point p on a regular surface3RS is an umbilic point if and only if the shape
operator of M at p is a multiple of the identity.
Proof: Let Sp denote the shape operator of M at p. Then Sp is a multiple of the identity if
and only if all of the normal curvatures of M at p coincide. This is true if and only if the
maximum and minimum of the normal curvatures, namely, k1(p) and k2(p), coincide. Write
k(p) = k1(p) = k2(p); then Sp = k(p)I, where I denotes the identity map on Mp.
A topological space X is called locally398 path connected if every x∈X is contained in a
neighborhood U which is path connected.
If X is locally path connected, then it is connected if f it is path connected. We know that path
connected implies connected always. To see the reverse implication in this case:
Suppose X was not path connected. Then we can write X as a disjoint union of (at least two)

path-connected components But each path component must be open, by the locally path
connected criteria.
Now, any manifold is locally homeomorphic to Rn, and since Rn is locally path connected, we
have that any manifold is locally path connected.
And so for a manifold, connectedness does imply path-connectedness
A differentiable manifold is a type of manifold that is locally399 similar enough to a linear
space to allow one to do calculus. Any manifold can be described by a collection of charts,
also known as an atlas. One may then apply ideas from calculus while working within the
individual charts, since each chart lies within a linear space to which the usual rules of calculus
apply. If the charts are suitably compatible (namely, the transition from one chart to another is
differentiable), then computations done in one chart are valid in any other differentiable
chart400
A non-differentiable atlas of charts for the globe The results of calculus may not be
compatible between charts if the atlas is not differentiable. In the center and right charts the
Tropic of Cancer is a smooth curve, whereas in the left chart it has a sharp corner. The notion
of a differentiable manifold refines that of a manifold by requiring the functions that
transform between charts to be differentiable
The near-Gaussian fields under investigation are not always directly accessible experimentally.
For example, the mass distribution along the line of sight responsible for weak gravitational
lensing is believed to be mostly composed of dark matter, and hence it cannot be detected
directly If the projected gravitational potential over a flat patch of the sky is taken to be the
height of a 2D surface the measurable shear field is given by the lines of principal curvature At

some special points called umbilics, the curvature is equal in all directions, so the shear field
cannot be defined and it must vanish. More precisely, a point on a surface with
height function is an umbilic if the second derivatives satisfy the two
conditions and . The ratio between different types of umbilical points
(which is a universal number for an isotropic Gaussian field) serves as an indicator of non-
Gaussianities in lieu of the extrema, which cannot be detected. A similar reasoning can be
applied to study polarization singularities in the cosmic microwave background and
topological defects in a nematic or superfluid near criticality
o Inspection of fig 1 reveals that there are three types of umbilics: lemons, monstars,
and stars. Note that these umbilics are topological defects in the curvature-line field.
The topological index of any umbilic is equal to ±1/2, if the curvature-line field
rotates counterclockwise (clockwise) by an angle π along any closed path encircling
only that umbilic in the counterclockwise direction.
o A star has three curvature lines terminating at it and a topological index of .
o A lemon has only one line and index .
o A monstar has index , like a lemon, but three lines terminating at it, like a star. A
striking feature of isotropic Gaussian fields is that the monstar fraction, the relative
density of monstars with respect to all umbilics, equals ; this is a
universal number independent of the power spectrum Any deviation from this special
value is therefore a sure sign of non-Gaussian effects.

The Carathéodory conjecture explanation
The Carathéodory conjecture is a mathematical conjecture attributed to Constantin
Carathéodory by Hans Ludwig Hamburger in a session of the Berlin Mathematical Society in
1924, [1]. Other early references are the Invited Address [3] of Stefan Cohn-Vossen to
the International Congress of Mathematicians of 1928 in Bologna and the book [2]
by Wilhelm Blaschke. Carathéodory never committed the Conjecture into writing. In [1],John
Edensor Littlewood mentions the Conjecture and Hamburger's contribution [10] as an
example of a mathematical claim that is easy to state but difficult to prove. Dirk
Struik describes in [5] the formal analogy of the Conjecture with the Four Vertex Theorem for
plane curves. Modern references for the Conjecture are the problem list of Shing-Tung Yau in
[6] and the book [7] of Marcel Berger, as well as the books [18] and [19], [20], [21].
Mathematical content
The Conjecture claims that any convex, closed and sufficiently smooth surface in three
dimensional Euclidean space needs to admit at least two umbilic points. In the sense of the
Conjecture, the spheroid with only two umbilic points and the sphere, all points of which are
umbilic, are examples of surfaces with minimal and maximal numbers of umbilics. For the
conjecture to be well posed, or the umbilic points to be well-defined, the surface needs to be
at least twice differentiable.
Mathematical research on an approach by a local index estimate
For analytic surfaces, an affirmative answer to this conjecture was given in 1940 by Hans
Ludwig Hamburger in a long paper published in three parts [10]. The approach of Hamburger
was via a local index estimate for isolated umbilics, which he showed to imply the Conjecture
[Type text]
papakonstantinidis Page 331
in his earlier work [8], [9]. In 1943, a shorter proof was proposed by Gerrit Bol [11], see also
[23], but, in 1959, Tilla Klotz found and corrected a gap in Bol's proof in [10]. Her proof, in
turn, was announced to be incomplete in Hanspeter Scherbel's dissertation [13] (no results of
that dissertation related to the Carathéodory conjecture were published for decades, at least
nothing was published up to June 2009). Among other publications we refer to papers [14]—
[16].
All the proofs mentioned above are based on a reduction of the Carathéodory conjecture to
the following Loewner conjecture: the index of every isolated umbilic point is never
greater than one. Roughly speaking, the main difficulty lies in resolution of singularities
generated by umbilical points. All the above-mentioned authors resolve the singularities by
induction on 'degree of degeneracy' of the umbilical point, but none of them was able to
present the induction process clearly.
In 2002, Vladimir Ivanov revisited the work of Hamburger on analytic surfaces with the
following stated intent [17]:
"First, considering analytic surfaces, we assert with full responsibility that Carathéodory was
right. Second, we know how this can be proved rigorously. Third, we intend to exhibit here a
proof which, in our opinion, will convince every reader who is really ready to undertake a
long and tiring journey with us."
Umbilical points and maxima/minima of a function : regular smooth manifolds,
Two new methods are developed to solve a global and partial matching problem with no a
priori information on correspondence or initial transformation and no scaling effects, namely
the KH and the umbilic method. The KH method establishes a correspondence between two
objects by utilizing the Gaussian and mean curvatures. The umbilic method uses the
qualitative properties of umbilical points to find correspondence information between two
objects. These two methods are extended to deal with uniform scaling effects. The umbilic
method is enhanced with an algorithm for scaling factor estimation using the quantitative
properties of umbilical points. The KH method is used as a building block of an optimization
scheme based on the golden section search which recovers iteratively an optimum scaling
factor. Since the golden section search only requires an initial interval for the scaling factor,
the solution process is simplified compared to iterative optimization algorithms, which require
good initial estimates of the scaling factor and the rigid body transformation. The matching
algorithms are applied to problems of copyright protection. A suspect model is aligned to an
original model through matching methods so that similarity between two geometric models
can be assessed to determine if the suspect model contains part(s) of the original model.
Three types of tests, the weak, intermediate and strong tests, are proposed for similarity
assessment between two objects. The weak and intermediate tests are performed at node
points obtained through shape intrinsic wire framing. The strong test relies on isolated
[Type text]
papakonstantinidis Page 332
umbilical points which can be used as fingerprints of an object for supporting an ownership
claim to the original model. The three tests are organized in two decision algorithms so that
they produce systematic and statistical measures for a similarity decision between two objects
in a hierarchical manner. Based on the systematic statistical evaluation of similarity, a decision
can be reached whether the suspect model is a copy of the original model
