Autocorrelation in animal movements can be both a serious nuisance to analysis and a source of valuable information about the scale and patterns of animal behavior, depending on the question and the techniques employed. In this paper we present an approach to analyzing the patterns of autocorrelation in animal movements that provides a detailed picture of seasonal variability in the scale and p...

We study the relationship between a player’s (stage game) minmax payoff and the individually rational payoff in repeated games with imperfect monitoring. We characterize the signal structures under which these two payoffs coincide for any payoff matrix. Under a full rank assumption, we further show that, if the monitoring structure of an infinitely repeated game ‘nearly’ satisfies this conditio...

The relation between L 2 ?gain and nite dimensional nonlinear observers is investigated. It is shown that suitable choices of supply rates render nite dimensional minimum energy, minimum energy certainty-equivalence, and minmax observers for nonlinear systems. The gains of these observers are analogous of the error covariance of the Kalman-Filter. They are derived by solving explicitly Hamilton...

The asymptotic behavior of the solution of a differential inclusion provides a simple proof of a minmax theorem.

Discrete autocorrelation wavelets have recently been applied in the statistical analysis of locally stationary time series. This form of time series analysis also requires the construction of the inner product matrix of such wavelets. To date, both discrete autocorrelation wavelets and the inner product matrix have been constructed via a brute force technique which proves to be computationally ...
