Granularity
This paper presents a framework for a theory of granularity, which is seen as a means of constructing simple theories out of more complex ones. A transitive indistinguishability relation can be defined by means of a set of relevant predicates, allowing simplification of a theory of complex phenomena into computationally tractable local theories, or granularities. Nontransitive indistinguishabil...
متن کاملFunctional Granularity
The method presented in this paper aims to reduce the computational costs of some kinds of navigation in a world with obstacles. We give algorithms to capture the logical structure of an object given a polygonal representation of it. Then these algorithms are used in conjunction with the notion of functional granularity to handle navigation of a moving object. 1 Framework The class of problems ...
متن کاملGranularity Transformations in Wayfinding
Wayfinding in road networks is a hierarchical process. It involves a sequence of tasks, starting with route planning, continuing with the extraction of wayfinding instructions, and leading to the actual driving. From one task level to the next, the relevant road network becomes more detailed. How does the wayfinding process change? Building on a previous, informal hierarchical highway navigatio...
متن کاملGranularity of Corporate Debt∗
We study whether firms spread out debt maturity dates, which we call “granularity of corporate debt.” In our model, firms that are unable to roll over expiring debt need to liquidate assets. If multiple small asset sales are less inefficient than a single large one, it can be optimal to diversify debt rollovers across time. Using a large sample of corporate bond issuers during the 1991–2012 per...
متن کاملGranularity in Multi-Method
Multi-method planning is an approach to using a set of different planning methods to simultaneously achieve planner completeness, planning time efficiency, and plan length reduction. Although it has been shown that coordinating a set of methods in a coarse-grained, problem-by-problem manner has the potential for approaching this ideal, such an approach can waste a significant amount of time in ...
