Quasi-Hermitian varieties in PG(r, q^2), q even

In this paper a new example of quasi–Hermitian variety V in PG(r, q) is provided, where q is an odd power of 2. In higherdimensional spaces, V can be viewed as a generalization of the Buekenhout-Tits unital in the desarguesian projective plane; see [9].

A spectrum result on maximal partial ovoids of the generalized quadrangle Q(4, q), q even

In this article, we prove a spectrum result on maximal partial ovoids of the generalized quadrangle Q(4, q), q odd, i.e. for every integer k in the interval [a, b], where a ≈ 3 5 q and b ≈ 9 10 q, there exists a maximal partial ovoid of Q(4, q), q odd, of size k. Since the generalized quadrangle W(q) defined by a symplectic polarity of PG(3, q) is isomorphic to the dual of the generalized quadr...

Cooperative clans

Purpose – To provide a mechanism for agents to form, maintain, and reason within medium-term coalitions, called clans, based upon the notions of trust and motivation. Design/methodology/approach – The model is based upon the notions of trust (representing an agent’s assessment of another’s honesty and reliability) and motivations (which represent an agent’s high-level goals). The paper describe...
