Lecture 2 : Bandits with i . i . d rewards ( Part II )

So far we’ve discussed non-adaptive exploration strategies. Now let’s talk about adaptive exploration, in a sense that the bandit feedback of different arms in previous rounds are fully utilized. Let’s start with 2 arms. One fairly natural idea is to alternate them until we find that one arm is much better than the other, at which time we abandon the inferior one. But how to define ”one arm is ...

2-absorbing $I$-prime and 2-absorbing $I$-second submodules

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and let $I$ be an ideal of $R$. In this paper, we will introduce the notions of 2-absorbing $I$-prime and 2-absorbing $I$-second submodules of an $R$-module $M$ as a generalization of 2-absorbing and strongly 2-absorbing second submodules of $M$ and explore some basic properties of these classes of modules.

Lecture 2 / 11 : Satisfiability Modulo Theories , Part I

Satisfiability modulo theories (SMT) is the study of the satisfiability of logical formulas (typically in first-order logic) with respect to (combinations of) background theories. The roots of SMT go back to work on automatic theorem proving and decision procedures for such logics performed in the 1970s and 80s. The defining characteristic of SMT solvers is their mode of operation: a satisfiabi...
