We consider a zero-sum stochastic game with side constraints for both players with a special structure. There are two independent
controlled Markov chains, one for each player. The transition probabilities of the chain associated with a player as well
as the related side constraints depend only on the actions of the corresponding player; the side constraints also depend on
the player’s controlled chain. The global cost that player 1 wishes to minimize and that player 2 wishes to maximize, depend
however on the actions and Markov chains of both players. We obtain a linear programming formulations that allows to compute
the value and saddle point policies for this problem. We illustrate the theoretical results through a zero-sum stochastic
game in wireless networks in which each player has power constraints 相似文献
One of the essential differences in the design of bubble pressure tensiometers consists in the geometry of the measuring capillaries. To reach extremely short adsorption times of milliseconds and below, the so-called deadtime of the capillaries must be of the order of some 10 ms. In particular, for concentrated surfactant solutions, such as micellar solutions, short deadtimes are needed to minimize the initial surfactant load of the generated bubbles. A theoretical model is derived and confirmed by experiments performed for a wide range of experimental conditions, mainly in respect to variations in deadtime and bubble volume. 相似文献
Goryunov proved that the space of local invariants of Vassiliev type for generic maps from surfaces to three-space is three-dimensional.
The basic invariants were the number of pinch points, the number of triple points and one linked to a Rokhlin type invariant.
In this paper we show that, by colouring the complement of the image of the map with a chess board pattern, we can produce
a six-dimensional space of local invariants. These are essentially black and white versions of the above. Simple examples
show how these are more effective.

The disentanglement of certain augmentations is shown to be the topological join of a disentanglement and a Milnor fibre.
The kth disentanglement of a finite map is defined and for corank 1 maps from ℂn to ℂn+1 it is shown that they are homotopically equivalent to a wedge of spheres. Applications to the Mond conjecture are given.

The activities and services of the accredited Risø High Dose Reference Laboratory are described. The laboratory operates according to the European standard EN 45001 regarding Operation of Testing Laboratories, and it fulfills the requirements of being able to deliver traceable dose measurements for control of radiation sterilization. The accredited services include:
1. 1. Irradiation of dosimeters and test samples with cobalt-60 gamma rays.
2. 2. Irradiation of dosimeters and test samples with 10 MeV electrons.
3. 3. Issue of and measurement with calibrated dosimeters.
4. 4. Measurement of the dosimetric parameters of an irradiation facility.
5. 5. Measurement of absorbed dose distribution in irradiated products.
The paper describes these services and the procedures necessary for their execution. 相似文献
Stochastic models with varying degrees of complexity are increasingly widespread in the oceanic and atmospheric sciences. One application is data assimilation, i.e., the combination of model output with observations to form the best picture of the system under study. For any given quantity to be estimated, the relative weights of the model and the data will be adjusted according to estimated model and data error statistics, so implementation of any data assimilation scheme will require some assumption about errors, which are considered to be random. For dynamical models, some assumption about the evolution of errors will be needed. Stochastic models are also applied in studies of predictability.
The formal theory of stochastic processes was well developed in the last half of the twentieth century. One consequence of this theory is that methods of simulation of deterministic processes cannot be applied to random processes without some modification. In some cases the rules of ordinary calculus must be modified.
The formal theory was developed in terms of mathematical formalism that may be unfamiliar to many oceanic and atmospheric scientists. The purpose of this article is to provide an informal introduction to the relevant theory, and to point out those situations in which that theory must be applied in order to model random processes correctly. 相似文献
Given a1,a2,...,an ∈ ℤ^d$, we examine the set, G, of all non-negative integer combinations of these ai. In particular, we examine the generating function f(z) = ∑b ∈ Gzb. We prove that one can write this generating function as a rational function using the neighborhood complex (sometimes called
the complex of maximal lattice-free bodies or the Scarf complex) on a particular lattice in ℤn. In the generic case, this follows from algebraic results of Bayer and Sturmfels. Here we prove it geometrically in all
cases, and we examine a generalization involving the neighborhood complex on an arbitrary lattice. 相似文献
An anomalous modulation in the wavelength spectrum has been observed in lasers with spot-size converters. This intensity modulation is shown to be caused by beating between the fundamental lasing mode and radiation modes in the taper. This results in a periodic modulation in the net gain spectrum, which causes wavelength jumps between adjacent net gain maxima, and a drive current dependent spectral width that is expected to affect system performance. The amplitude of this spectral modulation is reduced significantly by either using an angled rear-facet which reflects the beating radiation modes away from the laser axis, or by using a nonlinear, adiabatic taper. 相似文献
Information is presented on structure, composition, and response to enzymes of corn stover related to barriers for bioconversion
to ethanol. Aromatic compounds occurred in most tissue cell walls. Ferulic acid esterase treatment before cellulase treatment
significantly improved dry weight loss and release of phenolic acids and sugars in most fractions over cellulase alone. Leaf
fractions were considerably higher in dry weight loss and released sugars with esterase treatment, but stem pith cells gave
up the most phenolic acids. Results help identify plant fractions more appropriate for coproducts and bioconversion and those
more suitable as residues for soil erosion control. 相似文献
