Inohara Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that uses the language of mathematics to explain decision-making and consensus building.
AboutAbout the lab
Decision-making, consensus building, and conflict resolution
The Inohara Lab represents and analyzes decision-making problems that arise in society using mathematical frameworks.
Using discrete mathematics such as logic, set theory, and graph theory, the lab turns the essence of a problem into a mathematical model.
The results of the analysis are interpreted in light of the original real-world problem to obtain implications for solving it.
Consensus building, conflict resolution, social networks, and social modeling are also research themes.
Key terms
- Consensus building
- The process in which people with different positions discuss an issue and reach a conclusion that everyone can accept
- Mathematical model
- A representation of only the essence of a real-world problem, expressed in mathematical formulas and symbols
- Discrete mathematics
- Mathematics that deals with separate, distinct objects and the connections between them, including logic, set theory, and graph theory
ResearchResearch themes
The lab represents and analyzes various matters that arise in society, especially problems related to decision-making, using mathematical frameworks. It aims to acquire knowledge about the behavior of society that is useful in our daily lives.
*Illustrative imageGraph Models for Resolving Conflicts
The lab predicts what state a conflict between people with different positions will settle into, using the Graph Model for Conflict Resolution. It mathematically examines whether desirable solutions still hold when the number of participants or the actions available to them increases or decreases.
*Illustrative imageNew Proposals Emerging from Discussion
In consensus-building settings, new proposals that did not exist at the beginning sometimes emerge. The lab analyzes the conditions under which this happens, and whether sharing interests can resolve social dilemmas, using mathematical models, and applies the results to consensus building.
MembersFaculty
The members of the Inohara Lab consist of faculty members, doctoral and master's students, and undergraduate students doing a bachelor's specified research project.As of 2026
