The so-called expertise defence against sceptical challenges from experimental philosophy has recently come under attack: there are several studies claiming to have found direct evidence that philosophers’ judgments in thought experiments susceptible erroneous effects. In this paper, we distinguish between the customary ‘immune experts’ version of and an ‘informed version. On informed defence, ...

In the m-Peripatetic Salesman Problem (m-PSP) the aim is to determine m edge disjoint Hamiltonian cycles of minimum total cost on a graph. This article describes exact branch-and-cut solution procedures for the undirected m-PSP. Computational results are reported on random and Euclidean graphs.

We consider a generalization of the drinking philosophers problem, called GDrPP, in which processes may issue AND-OR requests for resources, as opposed to the AND requests of the original formulation. For GDrPP, we introduce a basic priority dynamics that can be regarded as generalizing the edge-reversal priority dynamics underlying the classical solution to the original formulation. The novel ...
