Thresholded-Rewards Decision Problems: Acting Effectively in Timed Domains

In timed, zero-sum games, winning against the opponent is more important than the final score. A team that is losing near the end of the game may choose to play aggressively to try to even the score before time runs out. In this thesis, we consider the problem of finding optimal policies in stochastic domains with limited time, some notion of score, and in complex environments, such as domains ...

A systematic review of financial incentives given in the healthcare setting; do they effectively improve physical activity levels?

BACKGROUND According to current physical activity guidelines, a substantial percentage of the population in high-income countries is inactive, and inactivity is an important risk factor for chronic conditions and mortality. Financial incentives may encourage people to become more active. The objective of this review was to provide insight in the effectiveness of financial incentives used for pr...

Solving variational inequalities with monotone operators on domains given by Linear Minimization Oracles

The standard algorithms for solving large-scale convex–concave saddle point problems, or, more generally, variational inequalities with monotone operators, are proximal type algorithmswhich at every iteration need to compute a prox-mapping, that is, to minimize over problem’s domain X the sum of a linear form and the specific convex distance-generating function underlying the algorithms in ques...

Koebe Domains for the Classes of Functions with Ranges Included in given Sets

In this paper we present a new method of determining Koebe domains. We apply this method by giving a new proof of the well-known theorem of A. W. Goodman concerning the Koebe domain for the class T of typically real functions. We applied also the method to determine Koebe sets for classes of the special type, i.e. for T = {f ∈ T : f(∆) ⊂ Mg(∆)}, g ∈ T ∩ S, M > 1, where ∆ = {z ∈ C : |z| < 1} and...
