Lecture Notes on Quicksort

In this lecture we consider two related algorithms for sorting that achieve a much better running time than the selection sort from last lecture: mergesort and quicksort. We developed quicksort and its invariants in detail. As usual, contracts and loop invariants will bridge the gap between the abstract idea of the algorithm and its implementation. We will revisit many of the computational thin...

Lecture Notes on Dynamical Systems & Dynamic Axioms

Lecture 4 on Safety & Contracts demonstrated how useful and crucial CPS contracts are for CPS. Their role and understanding goes beyond dynamic testing, though. In CPS, proven CPS contracts are infinitely more valuable than dynamically tested contracts, because dynamical tests of contracts at runtime of a CPS generally leave open very little flexibility for reacting to them in any safe way. Aft...

A Systematic Review in The Process of Formation, Development and Content of Nurses' Psychological Contracts

Introduction: Psychological contract plays a pivotal role in defining employee-organization relationships. Given the complex concept of psychological contracts, and the existence of scattered and diverse information on how to form and develop, and identify the contents of nurses 'psychological contracts in previous research, in this study, the concept of nurses' psychological contract is system...

EC516 Contracts and Organisations, LSE 3. Lecture Notes on Binding Agreements Debraj Ray 1. Coalition Formation in Symmetric Games

1.1. Standard Equilibrium and the Algorithm. This is the theorem with which we ended the previous lecture: Theorem 1. There exists δ∗ ∈ (0, 1) such that for all δ ∈ (δ∗, 1), any standard equilibrium must be of the following form. At a stage in which any substructure π has left the game (with associated numerical substructure n), the next coalition that forms is of size t(n) and the payoff to a ...
