The Logit version of Quantal Response Equilibrium (QRE) predicts that equilibrium behavior in games will vary systematically with payoff magnitudes, if all other factors are held constant (including the Nash equilibria of the game). We explore this in the context of a set of asymmetric 2×2 games with unique totally mixed strategy equilibria. The data provide little support for the payoff magnit...

Imagine a simulated world where the characters you interact with are almost human – they converse with you in English, they understand the world they are in, can reason about what to do, and they exhibit emotions. Some of these characters may be your friends, while others will oppose you. Unlike current video games, being successful in this world won’t just be a matter of who is quickest on the...

We present a new quick algorithm for the solution of the well-known point location problem and for the more specific problem of point-in-polygon determination. Previous approaches to this problem are presented in the first sections of this paper. In the remainder of the paper, we present a new quick location algorithm based on a quaternary partition of the space, as well as its associated cost ...

Mapping fluvial hydromorphology is an important part of defining river habitat. via field sampling or hydraulic modeling however time consuming, and mapping directly from remote sensing data may offer efficient solution. Here, we present a system for automated classification based on deep learning scheme applied to aerial orthophotos. Using selected rivers in Norway, show how surface flow patte...

To repair corroded subsea pipelines, composite fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) patches are often attached to the defected area. The aim of this paper is present a method assure if strength repaired pipelines sufficient enough sustain burst pressure loads. A computational model for predicting with CFRP presented. An algorithm artificial neural networks (ANN) applied. geometry corrosion damage de...

An adaptive unstructured grid generation scheme is introduced to use finite volume (FV) and finite element (FE) formulation to solve the heat equation with singular boundary conditions. Regular grids could not acheive accurate solution to this problem. The grid generation scheme uses an optimal time complexity frontal method for the automatic generation and delaunay triangulation of the grid po...

designer is solving an optimization problem, which involves different disciplines and where all design criteria have to be optimized simultaneously. Mathematically this problem can be reduced to a vector optimization problem. The solution of this problem is not unique and is represented by a Pareto surface in the space of the objective functions. Once a Pareto solution is obtained, it may be ve...

the effect of a distributed patch mass on the natural frequency of vibration of a laminated rectangular plate with simply supported boundaries is investigated. the third order displacement field of a composite laminated rectangular plate is defined using the two variable refined plate theory. equations of motion of the plate are obtained with the help of calculus of variation. parametric study ...
