This paper considers a zero-sum two-player asymmetric information stochastic game where only one player knows the system state, and the transition law is controlled by the informed player only. For the informed player, it has been shown that the security strategy only depends on the belief and the current stage. We provide LP formulations whose size is only linear in the size of the uninformed ...

We are searching for an unknown horizontal or vertical line in the plane under the competitive framework. We design a well-suited framework for all cylcic strategies that result in two-sequence functionals. For optimizing such functionals we apply a method that combines two main paradigms. The given solution shows that the combination method is of general interest. Finally, we obtain the curren...

In this work we consider the application of two metaheuristics, namely evolution strategies and scatter search, to the problem of fitting rectangular signals to time-data series. The application background is to search for exoplanet-transit signals in stellar photometric observation data.

We apply evolution strategies to optimize the instability growth of several pairs of vortices which model the wake of airplanes in landing configuration. For the case of two pairs, the evolution strategy finds a set of optimal parameters strikingly similar to those found in the linear stability analysis of Crouch (1997). The case of four pairs is also considered and leads to a larger distortion...

This paper proves that, for a normal membership conditional term rewriting system (MCTRS), (1) a reducible term has a needed redex if the MCTRS is nonoverlapping, and (2) whether a redex is nv-needed is decidable.

The current trend in Online Dispute Resolution focuses mostly on the development of technological tools that allow parties to solve conflicts through telecommunication means. However, this tendency leaves aside key issues, namely the context information that was previously available in traditional Alternative Dispute Resolution processes. The main weakness of this approach is that conflict reso...
