Minority Game With Peer Pressure
To study the interplay between global market choice and local peer pressure,
we construct a minority-game-like econophysical model. In this so-called
networked minority game model, every selfish player uses both the historical
minority choice of the population and the historical choice of one's neighbors
in an unbiased manner to make decision. Results of numerical simulation show
that the level of cooperation in the networked minority game differs remarkably
from the original minority game as well as the prediction of the
crowd-anticrowd theory. We argue that the deviation from the crowd-anticrowd
theory is due to the negligence of the effect of a four point correlation
function in the effective Hamiltonian of the system.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures in revtex 4.
How To Attain Maximum Profit In Minority Game?
What is the physical origin of player cooperation in minority game? And how
to obtain maximum global wealth in minority game? We answer the above questions
by studying a variant of minority game from which players choose among
alternatives according to strategies picked from a restricted set of strategy
space. Our numerical experiment concludes that player cooperation is the result
of a suitable size of sampling in the available strategy space. Hence, the
overall performance of the game can be improved by suitably adjusting the
strategy space size.Comment: 4 pages in revtex 4 styl
Exact States in Waveguides With Periodically Modulated Nonlinearity
We introduce a one-dimensional model based on the nonlinear
Schrodinger/Gross-Pitaevskii equation where the local nonlinearity is subject
to spatially periodic modulation in terms of the Jacobi dn function, with three
free parameters including the period, amplitude, and internal form-factor. An
exact periodic solution is found for each set of parameters and, which is more
important for physical realizations, we solve the inverse problem and predict
the period and amplitude of the modulation that yields a particular exact
spatially periodic state. Numerical stability analysis demonstrates that the
periodic states become modulationally unstable for large periods, and regain
stability in the limit of an infinite period, which corresponds to a bright
soliton pinned to a localized nonlinearity-modulation pattern. Exact
dark-bright soliton complex in a coupled system with a localized modulation
structure is also briefly considered . The system can be realized in planar
optical waveguides and cigar-shaped atomic Bose-Einstein condensates.Comment: EPL, in pres
Agent swarm classification network ASCN
In this paper we introduced a newly RBF Classification Network - "Agent Swarm Classification Network ASCN", which is trained by a Multi-agent systems (MAS) approach. MAS can be regarded as a swarm of independent software agents interact with each other to achieve common goals, complete concurrent distributed tasks under autonomous control. By treating each neuron as an agent, the weights of neurons can be determined through a set of pre-defined simple agent behavior. Three sets of experiments are examined to observe the effectiveness of the proposed method. © 2004 IEEE.published_or_final_versio
Response knowledge learning of autonomous agent
In robot applications, the performance of a robot agent is measured by the quantity of award received from its response. Many literatures [1-5] define the response as either a state diagram or a neural network. Due to the absence of a desired response, neither of them is applicable to an unstructural environment. In this paper, a novel Response Knowledge Learning algorithm is proposed to handle this domain. By using a set of experiences, the algorithm can extract the contributed experiences to construct the response function. Two sets of environments are provided to illustrate the performance of the proposed algorithm. The results show that it can effectively construct the response function that receives an award which is very close to the true maximum.published_or_final_versio
Image enlargement as an edge estimation
A robust image enlargement algorithm is presented in this paper. We formulate the image enlargement process as an edge information estimation process. In order to achieve a higher resolution, we first perform Pixel Duplication on the target image to form an initial high resolution image. Then the edge details of the enlarged image are estimated by using a novel neural network called "Agent Swarm Regression Network ASRN", which is trained by a set of low resolution (LR) / high resolution (HR) image patch pairs. Two benchmark images were used to verify the performance of the proposed algorithm. The results show that the enlarged images by the proposed algorithm are sharper than those by the conventional methods.published_or_final_versio
Sequential RBF function estimator: memory regression network
The newal-network training algorithm can be divided into 2 categories: (I) Batch mode and (2) Sequential mode. In this paper, a novel online RBF network called "Memory Regression Network (MRN)" is proposed. Different from the previous approaches [2, 11], MRN involves two types of memories: Experience and Neuron, which handle short and long term memories respectively. By simulating human's learning behavior, a given function can be estimated without memorizing the whole training set. Two sets of function estimation experiments are examined in order to illustrate the performance of the proposed algorithm. The results show that MRN can effectively approximate the given function within a reasonable time and acceptable mean square error. © 2004 IEEE.published_or_final_versio
