An Invitation to “Regulatory Science”

An Invitation to Cognitive Science

Editorial: Climate Science: An Invitation for Physicists.

Climate science is rooted in physics and in many of the methods used by physicists. Although it’s a cliché to say that the practice of science changed dramatically with the advent of the digital age, computers have had an enormous impact on the growth and evolution of climate science. Before computing, progress in explaining observations or making predictions in the physical sciences, including...

Settling Multiple Debts Efficiently: An Invitation to Computing Science

I present and solve several problems related to the settling of multiple debts. The solutions are documented in much detail, with (bright) high-school students in mind. One of the variants has a simple solution, though it is not so easy to code concisely. Another variant is an elegant NP-hard problem. The problem leads into important areas of mathematics and computing science, making it suitabl...

An Invitation to Play

Parity games and their subclasses and variants pop up in various contexts: μ-calculus, tree automata, program verification [3, 1, 8]. Such games provide only binary information indicating the winning player. However, in classical games theory [12] the emphasis is rather on how much we win or lose. Can we incorporate the information about the profits and losses into parity games?
