Using HMM in Strategic Games

In this paper we describe an approach to resolve strategic games in which players can assume different types along the game. Our goal is to infer which type the opponent is adopting at each moment so that we can increase the player's odds. To achieve that we use Markov games combined with hidden Markov model. We discuss a hypothetical example of a tennis game whose solution can be applied to any game with similar characteristics.Comment: In Proceedings DCM 2013, arXiv:1403.768

CLIENT APPLICATION COMMUNICATION WITH A HOST

A projection application for projecting a graphical user interface (GUI) of a computing device (e.g., a smartphone, a tablet computer, smartglasses, a smartwatch, a portable gaming system, a laptop computer, etc.) to a head unit (e.g., an infotainment system) of a vehicle (e.g., automobile, motorcycle, a bus, a recreational vehicle (RV), a semi-trailer truck, a tractor or other type of farm equipment, a train, a plane, a helicopter, etc.) may process an input provided to a notification of an application installed at the computing device to launch the application. In accordance with the techniques described here, the projection application may attach a binder (e.g., an inter-process communication mechanism) to the notification with an active pending intent. The projection application may broadcast the notification with the binder to the application, which in turn checks the pending intent status of the notification. Responsive to determining that the pending intent is active, the application may leverage a library (e.g., a set of implementations of behavior that includes configuration data, pre-written code, subroutines, values, classes, etc.) to use the binder to issue a callback to the projection application that causes the projection application to launch the application. In this way, the projection application may communicate with the application despite the projection application being unable to access the contents of notifications for the application

A tale of two Bethe ans\"atze

We revisit the construction of the eigenvectors of the single and double-row transfer matrices associated with the Zamolodchikov-Fateev model, within the algebraic Bethe ansatz method. The left and right eigenvectors are constructed using two different methods: the fusion technique and Tarasov's construction. A simple explicit relation between the eigenvectors from the two Bethe ans\"atze is obtained. As a consequence, we obtain the Slavnov formula for the scalar product between on-shell and off-shell Tarasov-Bethe vectors.Comment: 28 pages; v2: 30 pages, added proof of (4.40) and (5.39), minor changes to match the published versio

A Monte Carlo Method for the Numerical Simulation of Tsallis Statistics

We present a new method devised to overcome the intrinsic difficulties associated to the numerical simulations of the Tsallis statistics. We use a standard Metropolis Monte Carlo algorithm at a fictitious temperature T', combined with a numerical integration method for the calculation of the entropy in order to evaluate the actual temperature T. We illustrate the method by applying it to the 2d-Ising model using a standard reweighting technique.Comment: 7 LaTeX pages, 3 figures, submited to Physica

Beyond history and boundaries: rethinking the past in the present of international economic law

History and boundaries are the foundations of international economic law (IEL) as a professional and intellectual field. History is often told to support a wide variety of present projects, norms and ideas by appealing to the past. Boundary is a technique frequently used to map and defend an exclusive domain for applying the IEL expertise to a broad range of programmes, rules and theories. This article first describes how history and boundaries interact to produce a ‘traditional’ view of IEL’s past and present place in the world economy. This interaction plays a central role in structuring how international lawyers assert the authority and legitimacy of IEL in global economic governance. It then argues that the commitments of the traditional approach to Anglocentrism and Modernism limit lawyers’ ability to understand and solve the present-day issues, since it produces lessons only in support of the dominant programmes, norms and ideas under contestation. Consequently, it constrains, instead of empowers, lawyers’ imagination. Building on this critique, the article outlines an alternative approach devised to rethink the IEL field and, more importantly, which past or new projects, norms and theories do or do not count (or should or should not count) as part of it. It concludes with reflections on how we might go about reimagining IEL in response to the contemporary challenges to global economic governance
