Cover Story: Most optimisation research focuses on simple cases: one decision-maker, one objective and a set of constraints. However, real-world optimisation problems might be multi-objective, multi-agent, multi-stage or multi-level, involving partial knowledge, uncertainty and decision-dependent distributions. We define a broad class of discrete optimisation problems called an Influence Program, and a solver based on multi-agent multi-objective reinforcement learning with sampling. We model and solve a range of problems spanning stochastic programming, game theory, influence diagrams, Bayesian networks and constraint programming. View this paper

Multiple harmonic-like numbers are studied using the generating function approach. A closed form is stated for binomial sums involving these numbers and two additional parameters. Several corollaries and examples are presented which are immediate con...

Fractional differential operators are inherently non-local, so global methods, such as spectral methods, are well suited for handling these non-local operators. Long-time integration of differential models such as chaotic dynamical systems poses spec...

Scholars of English Literature unanimously say that J.R.R. Tolkien influenced C.S. Lewis’s writings. For the first time, we have investigated this issue mathematically by using an original multi-dimensional analysis of linguistic parameters, ba...

Most optimisation research focuses on relatively simple cases: one decision maker, one objective, and possibly a set of constraints. However, real-world optimisation problems often come with complications: they might be multi-objective, multi-agent,...

A Rational Approximation of the Two-Term Machin-like Formula for π

  • Sanjar M. Abrarov,
  • Rehan Siddiqui,
  • Rajinder Kumar Jagpal and
  • Brendan M. Quine

In this work, we consider the properties of the two-term Machin-like formula and develop an algorithm for computing digits of π by using its rational approximation. In this approximation, both terms are constructed by using a representation of 1/&...

We know that the degeneracy of solutions to PDEs, given in terms of theta functions on Riemann surfaces, provides important results about particular solutions, as in the case of the NLS equation. Here, we degenerate the so called finite gap solutions...

Network Goodness Calculus Propositions

  • Marina Bershadsky,
  • Božidar Ivanković and
  • Marko Pušić

We coin the term “network goodness” for a value we define for a network embedded in a given environment as a metric that describes the suitability of that network for meeting a demand. Three formulas are proposed to calculate the metric f...
