Gandalf's solution to the Newcomb problem
نویسنده
چکیده
In a recent article, Andy Egan (2007) has presented some compelling counterexamples to causal decision theory (CDT). In this article, I shall outline a new theory of rational decision. This theory is designed to stay as close as possible to CDT, while accommodating Egan’s intuitive counterexamples in a principled way. In recent philosophical debates, the most prominent rival to causal decision theory (CDT) has been evidential decision theory (EDT). Both CDT and EDT are versions of expected utility 1

Reinforcement Learning in Conflicting Environments for Autonomous Vehicles
In this work, we investigate the application of Reinforcement Learning to two well known decision dilemmas, namely Newcomb’s Problem and Prisoner’s Dilemma. These problems are exemplary for dilemmas that autonomous agents are faced with when interacting with humans. Furthermore, we argue that a Newcomb-like formulation is more adequate in the human-machine interaction case and demonstrate empir...
متن کاملHölder continuity of solution maps to a parametric weak vector equilibrium problem
In this paper, by using a new concept of strong convexity, we obtain sufficient conditions for Holder continuity of the solution mapping for a parametric weak vector equilibrium problem in the case where the solution mapping is a general set-valued one. Without strong monotonicity assumptions, the Holder continuity for solution maps to parametric weak vector optimization problems is discussed.
متن کاملAPPLICABILITY OF THE WELL OPERATED CONDITIONS FOR THE SOLUTION OF MIXED PROBLEM ATTRIBUTED TO SCHR?DINGER EQUATION
As a sequel of the recent works, we would like to discuss another stage for the solution of the mixed problem which considers the concepts of well operated conditions applicable to the solution of mixed problem, i.e. the existence and uniqueness of the solution must always conformable with some assumptions.
متن کاملAn Improved Tabu Search Algorithm for Job Shop Scheduling Problem Trough Hybrid Solution Representations
Job shop scheduling problem (JSP) is an attractive field for researchers and production managers since it is a famous problem in many industries and a complex problem for researchers. Due to NP-hardness property of this problem, many meta-heuristics are developed to solve it. Solution representation (solution seed) is an important element for any meta-heuristic algorithm. Therefore, many resear...
متن کاملOptimal Solution in a Constrained Distribution System
We develop a method to obtain an optimal solution for a constrained distribution system with several items and multi-retailers. The objective is to determine the procurement frequency as well as the joint shipment interval for each retailer in order to minimize the total costs. The proposed method is applicable to both nested and non-nested policies and ends up with an optimal solution. To solv...
