Properties of the QBG-value function

چکیده
In this technical report we treat some properties of the recently introduced QBGvalue function. In particular we show that it is a piecewise linear and convex function over the space of joint beliefs. Furthermore, we show that there exists an optimal infinite-horizon QBG-value function, as the QBG backup operator is a contraction mapping. We conclude by noting that the optimal Dec-POMDP Q-value function cannot be defined over joint beliefs.

Dec-POMDPs with delayed communication
In this work we consider the problem of multiagent planning under sensing and acting uncertainty with a one time-step delay in communication. We adopt decentralized partially observable Markov processes (Dec-POMDPs) as our planning framework. When instantaneous and noise-free communication is available, agents can instantly share local observations. This effectively reduces the decentralized pl...

This paper introduces a new class of Bond Graph models, called Quantized Bond Graphs (QBG), which can be “exactly” simulated by a Discrete Event System Specification or DEVS structure (Zeigler; 1976, 2000). Standard Bond Graph representing Physical Systems can be approximated by QBG for the purpose of simulation. It is shown that derivative causalities dissapear from this kind of models, turnin...
متن کاملOPTICAL PROPERTIES OF THIN Cu FILMS AS A FUNCTION OF SUBSTRATE TEMPERATURE
Copper films (250 nm) deposited on glass substrates, at different substrate temperatures. Their optical properties were measured by ellipsometery (single wavelength of 589.3 nm) and spectrophotometery in the spectral range of 200–2600 nm. Kramers Kronig method was used for the analysis of the reflectivity curves of Cu films to obtain the optical constants of the films, while ellipsometery measu...
متن کاملA Web-Based Bimatrix Game Optimization Model of Polynomial Complexity
The objective of this paper is the description, justification, and web-based implementation of polynomial time algorithms for equilibrium search of Quadratic Bimatrix Games (QBG). An algorithm is proposed combining exact and heuristic parts. The exact part has the Irelevant Fraud (IF) component for cases when an equilibrium exists with no pure strategies. The Direct Search (DS) component finds ...
متن کاملStudy of Variation of the J-integral and the Fracture Toughness in Blunt V-notches under Mode I Loading
Fracture assessment of U- and V-notches is important in mechanical engineering. One can use the J-integral as fracture parameter in order to predict the critical fracture load in notches. The critical value of the J-integral in cracks is a function of the material properties. In notches, however, the material properties as well as the notch dimensions affect this critical value (named fracture ...
