There have been numerous attempts to provide a standardized definition of a computational agent, but little consensus has emerged. We propose a simple test for agenthood that can ...
We study the extremal parameter N(n, m, H) which is the largest number of copies of a hypergraph H that can be formed of at most n vertices and m edges. Generalizing previous work...
In this paper, we use the exact model (or dynamical system approach) to describe the standard evolutionary algorithm (EA) as a discrete dynamical system for dynamic optimization pr...
Abstract. We consider the problem of verifying the safety of wellstructured transition systems (WSTS) with auxiliary storage. WSTSs with storage are automata that have (possibly) i...
Price dispersion, the variance in price for identical products across retailers, is a persistent feature of Internetbased markets, even those mediated by shopping agents (shopbots...
