We discuss several stochastic optimization strategies in games with many players having large number of choices (Kolkata Paise Restaurant Problem) and two choices (minority game problem). It is seen that a stochastic crowd avoiding strategy gives very efficient utilization in KPR problem. A slightly modified strategy in the minority game problem gives full utilization but the dynamics stops aft...

In the absence of autogenous vein, cryopreserved greater saphenous vein is an acceptable alternative conduit for lower extremity bypass. This study compares outcomes veins (CVs), and two-segment spliced (SVs) infrageniculate revascularization. A retrospective review all bypass with CV or SV was conducted between 2010 2022. Primary included limb salvage major adverse events. Secondary primary, p...
