چکیده

E. G. Enns* Department of Mathematics and Statistics University of Calgary E. Ferenstein Institute of Mathematics Technical University of Warsaw (Received January 23,1984: Revised July 23,1984) N independent and identically distributed observations of some random variable with a continuous distribution Fare sequentially presented to two players, White and Black. Each player is required to select exactly one observation without recall to rejected observations. As long as both players have not made a selection, White is always given the first option to accept or reject an observation. Both players are given the same information and are aware of the selection made by the other player. The: player selecting the largest number wins the game. This problem is considered for the two cases, when either F is known or unknown. The probability of each player winning and the distribution of the location in the sarnpl.e where selections are made is obtained. Also asymptotic results are derived. The problem is couched in terms of a horse bet.

Quantum information approach to normal representation of extensive games

We modify the concept of quantum strategic game to make it useful for extensive form games. We prove that our modification allows to consider the normal representation of any finite extensive game using the fundamental concepts of quantum information. The Selten's Horse game and the general form of two-stage extensive game with perfect information are studied to illustrate a potential applicati...

Bifurcation Analysis of Reinforcement Learning Agents in the Selten's Horse Game

The application of reinforcement learning algorithms to multiagent domains may cause complex non-convergent dynamics. The replicator dynamics, commonly used in evolutionary game theory, proved to be effective for modeling the learning dynamics in normal form games. Nonetheless, it is often interesting to study the robustness of the learning dynamics when either learning or structural parameters...

Maintenance of horse embryonic stem cells in different conditions

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are originally derived from the ICM of blastocysts and are characterized by their ability to self-renew and their pluripotencies. Only a few reports have been published on ESC isolations and line establishment in animals, even fewer in horses. However, it is still important to isolate equine ESCs for animal biotechnology and therapeutic applications. In the present s...

Management of Olecranon Fracture in a Horse

Abstract: Case Description- Olecranon fractures are frequently encountered in horses especially in foals. External trauma due to kicks or falls is the most common cause of the fracture. Treatment modalities of olecranon fractures including prolonged stall rest and surgical reconstruction of the different types of fractures have been proposed with different outcomes. Clinical findin...
