In the field of uncertainty quantification, uncertainty in the governing equations may assume two forms: aleatory uncertainty and epistemic uncertainty. Aleatory uncertainty can be characterised by known probability distributions whilst epistemic uncertainty arises from a lack of knowledge of probabilistic information. While extensive research efforts have been devoted to the numerical treatmen...

Abramsky and Hintikka style games can be seen as representatives of the two main branches of game semantics. They both model interaction but each in a different manner. Hintikka games provide models of propositional interaction in terms of classical logic connectives such as ∨, ∧, →, and ¬. Abramsky games, on the other hand, model the interaction between programs that run in different parallel ...
