Topological characterization of mobile robot behavior
— We propose to classify the behaviors of a mobile robot thanks to topological methods as an alternative to metric ones. To do so, we adapt an analysis scheme from Physics of non...

A Pumping Algorithm for Ergodic Stochastic Mean Payoff Games with Perfect Information
Abstract. We consider two-person zero-sum stochastic mean payoff games with perfect information, or BWR-games, given by a digraph G = (V = VB VW VR, E), with local rewards r : E R...
