A standard assumption in game theory is that players have an infinite depth of reasoning: they think about what others think and about what others think that othersthink, and so on, ad infinitum. However, in practice, players may have a finite depth of reasoning. For example, a player may reason about what other players think, but not about what others think he thinks. This paper proposes a class of type spaces that generalizes the type space formalism due to Harsanyi (1967) so that it can model players with an arbitrary depth of reasoning. I show that the type space formalism does not impose any restrictions on the belief hierarchies that can be modeled, thus generalizing the classic result of Mertens and Zamir (1985). However, there is no universal type space that contains all type spaces.

Abstract A generalized metric type space is a generic name for various spaces similar to hyperconvex metric spaces or extensions of them. The purpose of this article is to introduce some KKM theoretic works on generalized metric type spaces and to show that they can be improved according to our abstract convex space theory. Most of these works are chosen on the basis that they can be improved by following our theory. Actually, we introduce abstracts of each work or some contents, and add some comments showing how to improve them.

In this paper, first we introduce the concept of fuzzy metric type space and consider the topology induced by a fuzzy metric type. Next, we consider the complete fuzzy metric type spaces and prove that any G? set in a complete metric type space is a complete fuzzy metrizable type space.

The linearized problem of water-wave reflexion by a thin barrier of arbitrary permeability is considered with the restriction that the flow be two-dimensional. The formulation includes the special case of transmission through one or more gaps in an otherwise impermeable barrier. The general problem is reduced to a set of integral equations using standard techniques. These equations are then solved using a special decomposition of the finite depth source potential which allows accurate solutions to be obtained economically. A representative range of solutions is obtained numerically for both finite and infinite depth problems.

In this article, in the sequel of extending b-metric spaces, we modify controlled metric type spaces via two control functions α ( x , y ) and μ ( x , y ) on the right-hand side of the b - triangle inequality, that is, d ( x , y ) ≤ α ( x , z ) d ( x , z ) + μ ( z , y ) d ( z , y ) , for all x , y , z ∈ X . Some examples of a double controlled metric type space by two incomparable functions, which is not a controlled metric type by one of the given functions, are presented. We also provide some fixed point results involving Banach type, Kannan type and ϕ -nonlinear type contractions in the setting of double controlled metric type spaces.

AbstractThis paper presents a simple framework that allows us to survey and relate some different strands of the game theory literature. We describe a “canonical” way of adding incomplete information to a complete information game. This framework allows us to give a simple “complete theory” interpretation (Kreps in Game theory and economic modelling. Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1990) of standard normal form refinements such as perfection, and to relate refinements both to the “higher-order beliefs literature” (Rubinstein in Am Econ Rev 79:385–391, 1989; Monderer and Samet in Games Econ Behav 1:170–190, 1989; Morris et al. in Econ J Econ Soc 63:145–157, 1995; Kajii and Morris in Econ J Econ Soc 65:1283–1309, 1997a) and the “payoff uncertainty approach” (Fudenberg et al. in J Econ Theory 44:354–380, 1988; Dekel and Fudenberg in J Econ Theory 52:243–267, 1990).


In a recent paper Lord Rayleigh has called attention to the fact of the instantaneous propagation of a limited disturbance over the surface of heavy incompressible fluid. This instantaneity occurs in spite of the fact that the velocity of any simple-harmonic gravity wave is finite, the depth being finite and constant. As the points thereby raised are of some delicacy, and are not completely settled in the paper quoted, some further remarks on the phenomenon may not be superfluous. 2. Solution of the Cauchy-Poisson Problem for Finite Depth . In his treatment of this case Lord Rayleigh used the integral form of solution. There are, however, great difficulties raised in this way on account of lack of convergence at the surface. I proceed to obtain a solution in the form of a series similar in type to the known serial solution of the problem for infinite depth.

AbstractIn this paper, we deal with complete hypersurfaces immersed with bounded higher order mean curvatures in steady state-type spacetimes and in hyperbolic-type spaces. By applying a generalised maximum principle for the Yau's square operator [11], we obtain uniqueness results in each of these ambient spaces.

AbstractIn this paper, we study Lp-boundedness properties for higher order Littlewood-Paley g-functions in the Bessel setting. We use the Calderón-Zygmund theory in a homogeneous-type space (in the sense of Coifman and Weiss) ((0, ∞), d, γα), where d represents the usual metric on (0, ∞) and γα denotes the doubling measure on (0, ∞) with respect to d defined by dγα(x) = x2α+1dx, with α > −1/2.
