A major paradigm of modeling the decision making of autonomous agents is through behavior-based network models. The network consists of distributed behaviors that compete (or coop...
Table 1 shows the payoff to player one. The same matrix also holds for player two. Player one can gain the maximum 5 points (T = 5) by defection if player two cooperates. However,...
Abstract. Nested words are a restriction of the class of visibly pushdown languages that provide a natural model of runs of programs with recursive procedure calls. The usual conne...
— We present a simple, intuitive argument based on “invariant imbedding” in the spirit of dynamic programming to derive a stagewise second-order backpropagation (BP) algorith...
A system's constraints characterizes what that system can do. However, a dynamic environment may require that a system alter its constraints. If feedback about a specific situ...
