A Sneaky Proof of the Maximum Modulus Principle

A proof for the maximum modulus principle (in the unit disc) is presented. This proof is unusual in that it is based on linear algebra. The goal of this note is to provide a neat proof of the following version of the maximum modulus principle. Theorem 1 Let f be a function analytic in a neighborhood of the closed unit disc D = {z ∈ C : |z| ≤ 1}. Then max z∈D |f(z)| = max z∈∂D |f(z)|. (Here and ...

Responding to Sneaky Agents in Multi-agent Domains

This paper extends the concept of trust modeling within a multi-agent environment. Trust modeling often focuses on identifying the appropriate trust level for the other agents in the environment and then using these levels to determine how to interact with each agent. However, this type of modeling does not account for sneaky agents who are willing to cooperate when the stakes are low and take ...

VANKYA, A NEW GENUS OF SMUT FUNGI

Study of smut fungi on Liliaceae resulted to propose a new genus and three new combinations: Vankya Ershad, type V. ornithogali (Schmidt et Kunze) Ershad, based on Uredo ornithogali Schmidt et Kunze, V. heufleri (Fuckel) Ershad, based on Ustilago heufleri Fuckel, and V. vaillantii (L.-R. et C. Tulasne) Ershad, based on Ustilago vaillantii L.-R. et C. Tulasne.
