The remit of the committee was to review the Code laid down by the Cadbury Report (now found in the Combined Code). It asked whether the code's original purpose was being achieved. Hampel found that ther... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=16952451 |
Self-confirming equilibrium In game theory, self-confirming equilibrium is a generalization of Nash equilibrium for extensive form games, in which players correctly predict the moves their opponents make, but may have misconceptions about what their opponents "would" do at information sets that are never reached when t... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=16961891 |
Median graph In graph theory, a division of mathematics, a median graph is an undirected graph in which every three vertices "a", "b", and "c" have a unique "median": a vertex "m"("a","b","c") that belongs to shortest paths between each pair of "a", "b", and "c". The concept of median graphs has long been studied, for ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=16970848 |
Median graph If the subtree formed by the union of the three paths is not a path, the median of the three vertices is the central degree-three node of the subtree. Additional examples of median graphs are provided by the grid graphs. In a grid graph, the coordinates of the median "m"("a","b","c") can be found as the me... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=16970848 |
Median graph In an arbitrary graph, for each two vertices "a" and "b", the minimal number of edges between them is called their "distance", denoted by "d"("x","y"). The "interval" of vertices that lie on shortest paths between "a" and "b" is defined as A median graph is defined by the property that, for every three ver... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=16970848 |
Median graph In a distributive lattice, Birkhoff's self-dual ternary median operation satisfies certain key axioms, which it shares with the usual median of numbers in the range from 0 to 1 and with median algebras more generally: The distributive law may be replaced by an associative law: The median operation may also... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=16970848 |
Median graph Equivalently, given the two definitions of intervals above, "S" is convex if it contains every shortest path between two of its vertices, or if it contains the median of every set of three points at least two of which are from "S". Observe that the intersection of every pair of convex sets is itself convex... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=16970848 |
Median graph In words, "W" consists of the vertices closer to "u" than to "v", or equivalently the vertices "w" such that some shortest path from "v" to "w" goes through "u". To show that "W" is convex, let "w""w"..."w" be an arbitrary shortest path that starts and ends within "W"; then "w" must also lie within "W", fo... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=16970848 |
Median graph Usually such problems are expressed in conjunctive normal form, in which each clause is expressed as a disjunction and the whole set of constraints is expressed as a conjunction of clauses, such as A solution to such an instance is an assignment of truth values to the variables that satisfies all the claus... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=16970848 |
