Effect of Reluctant Players in Demographic Prisoner\u27s Dilemma Game
We consider the effect of reluctant player on emergence of cooperation in Demographic Prisoner\u27s Dilemma game. Players are initially randomly distributed in square lattice of cells. In each period, players move to random cell in von Neumann neighbors if unoccupied and play PD game against neighboring player. If wealth (accumulated payoff) of player becomes negative or his age becomes greater than his lifetime, he dies. If his wealth becomes greater than some amount and there is an unoccupied cell in neighbors, he has an offspring. We introduce global move, global play, and reluctant players who use extended forms of Tit for Tat. TFT uses Cooperate (C) at the first period and thereafter immediately replies with the same move to the opponent\u27s. Unlike TFT, a reluctant player may start with Defect (D) at the first period and delay replying with the opponent\u27s move in the last play to an opponent in the current play. Some types of reluctant players are considered by extent of delay. We investigate, by Agent-Based Simulation, the emergence of cooperation where there are reluctant players as well as AllC\u27s and AllD\u27s, and show some cases where cooperation is emerged more frequently with reluctant players than without them.14th Czech-Japan Seminar on Data Analysis and Decision Making under UncertaintyHejnice, Czech RepublicSeptember 18-21, 201
Subparsec-scale dynamics of a dusty gas disk exposed to anisotropic AGN radiation with frequency-dependent radiative transfer
We explore the gas dynamics near the dust sublimation radius of active
galactic nucleus (AGN). For the purpose, we perform axisymmetric radiation
hydrodynamic simulations of a dusty gas disk of radius
around a supermassive black hole of mass taking
into account (1) anisotropic radiation of accretion disk, (2) X-ray heating by
corona, (3) radiative transfer of infrared (IR) photons reemitted by dust, (4)
frequency dependency of direct and IR radiations, and (5) separate temperatures
for gas and dust. As a result, we find that for Eddington ratio ,
a nearly neutral, dense (),
geometrically-thin () disk forms with a high velocity () dusty outflow launched from the disk surface. The
disk temperature is determined by the balance between X-ray heating and various
cooling, and the disk is almost supported by thermal pressure. Contrary to
\citet{krolik07:_agn}, the radiation pressure by IR photons is not effective to
thicken the disk, but rather compresses it. Thus, it seems difficult for a
radiation-supported, geometrically-thick, obscuring torus to form near the dust
sublimation radius as far as the Eddington ratio is high (). The mass
outflow rate is - and the column
density of the outflow is .
To explain observed type-II AGN fraction, it is required that outflow gas is
extended to larger radii () or that a denser dusty
wind is launched from smaller radii ().Comment: 40 pages, 33 figures, 7 tables; accepted for publication in Monthly

On the distribution of 1550-nm photon pairs efficiently generated using a periodically poled lithium niobate waveguide
We report on the generation of photon pairs in the 1550-nm band suitable for
long-distance fiber-optic quantum key distribution. The photon pairs were
generated in a periodically poled lithium niobate waveguide with a high
conversion-efficiency. Using a pulsed semiconductor laser with a pulse rate of
800 kHz and a maximum average pump power of 50 muW, we obtained a coincidence
rate of 600 s^-1. Our measurements are in agreement with a Poissonian
photon-pair distribution, as is expected from a comparison of the coherence
time of the pump and of the detected photons. An average of 0.9 photon pairs
per pulse was obtained.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figure
