This article concerns maximum likelihood estimation for discrete time homogeneous nonparametric semi-Markov models with finite state space. In particular, we present the exact maximum likelihood estimator of the semi-Markov kernel which governs the evolution of the semi-Markov chain. We study its asymptotic properties in the following cases: (i) for one observed trajectory, when the length of t...

A key concern in genetic programming GP is the size of the state space which must be searched for large and complex problem do mains One method to reduce the state space size is by using Strongly Typed Genetic Programming STGP We applied both GP and STGP to construct cooperation strate gies to be used by multiple predator agents to pursue and capture a prey agent on a grid world This domain has...

We introduce a disorder-free model of $S=1/2$ spins on the square lattice in constrained Hilbert space where two up-spins are not allowed simultaneously any neighboring sites lattice. The interactions given by ring-exchange terms elementary plaquettes that conserve both total magnetization as well dipole moment. show this provides tractable example strong fragmentation dimensions with typical i...
