Run-to-run control is a generic methodology in control of semiconductor manufacturing processes. It is a model based process control strategy whereby process inputs (recipes) are adjusted on a run-to-run basis in response to measurements (responses) of process state variables. It updates the recipes of the process at the beginning of each run. In semiconductor manufacturing, many processes are ...

When program verification fails, it is often hard to understand what went wrong in the absence of concrete executions that expose parts of the implementation or specification responsible for the failure. Automatic generation of such tests would require “executing” the complex specifications typically used for verification (with unbounded quantification and other expressive constructs), somethin...

We present a general algorithm for computing the limit, as 5 -> 1, of the set of payoffs of perfect public equilibria of repeated games with long-run and shortrun players, allowing for the possibility that the players' actions are not observable by their opponents. We illustrate the algorithm with two economic examples. In a simple partnership we show how to compute the equilibrium payoffs when...

This paper studies the set of equilibrium payoffs in repeated games with longand short-run players and little discounting. Because the short-run players are unconcerned about the future, each equilibrium outcome is constrained to lie on their static reaction (best-response) curves. The natural extension of the folk theorem to games of this sort would simply include this constraint in the defini...

the prime objective of the study is to identify the long-run and short-run relationship between indian stock price viz., bse sensex (hereafter named as bse) and gold price (gold) in india. the daily closing price data were collected for the period of ten years ranging from 1st april 2004 to 31st march 2014 with 2490 observations. the study employed two models: model one used gold as dependent v...

Following the 1995 Russian parliamentary election, it was suggested that Russian voters may have used their votes to send a message to the then current Russian president, Boris Yeltsin, who was scheduled to run for reelection six months later. Building on this observation, we consider the incentives for information transmission through strategic voting in systems with sequential elections. We f...
