RETALIATION RATIONALIZED: GAUTHIER'S SOLUTION TO THE DETERRENCE DILEMMA

The Collusion Deterrence with Prisoner’s Dilemma

I tried to present a new method to prevent collusion through employing two auditors at the same time and inspiring them provide true report by exploiting their prisoner’s dilemma. But I found this method cannot be put into practice because of the high cost. So I analyzed whether sending the second auditor in a probability, a low cost method, can deter the audit collusion. I find sending the sec...

Regularized SOM - Training : A Solution to the Topology - Approximation Dilemma ?

The self-organizing map (SOM) is a tool which combines the task of vector quantisation with a topologically ordered representation of the training vectors. The topological order is obtained by an adaptation of the winner and its neighbours towards the input vector and leads to several eeects, which reduce the approximation quality. Topology and approximation seem to be contradictory. This is li...

Quantum solution to the arrow-of-time dilemma.

The arrow-of-time dilemma states that the laws of physics are invariant for time inversion, whereas the familiar phenomena we see everyday are not (i.e., entropy increases). I show that, within a quantum mechanical framework, all phenomena which leave a trail of information behind (and hence can be studied by physics) are those where entropy necessarily increases or remains constant. All phenom...
