Notes

  1. 1.

    A submodular function f is a mapping of a finite set U into nonnegative real values that satisfies the diminishing returns property: the incremental output from adding an element to a set S is at least as high as the incremental output from adding this element to any set that contains S.

  2. 2.

    Note that the terms “value,” “belief,” “attitude,” etc. have different interpretations in modern psychology and theory of multiagent systems that do not match each other.

  3. 3.

    Throughout the book, • denotes the end of an example.

  4. 4.

    Although, there exist other equilibria in which only some agents participate in the collective action and this is beneficial for them.
