Whether an agent can be a collection of several interacting agents, a hierarchy, or some other type of organization? We believe that several difficult challenges for automated systems can be tackled by giving full meaning to the MAS concept: adopting a recursive definition of agents. In this work, we propose a definition of MAS beliefs in terms of its constituent agents' beliefs.

Where mutually recursive data types are used in programming languages, etc., mutually recursive functions are usually required. Mutually recursive functions are also quite common for non-mutually recursive types. Reasoning about recursive functions requires some form of mathematical induction but there have been difficulties in adapting induction methods for simple recursion to the mutually rec...

A problem of constructing stable recursive algorithms to be used within a broad class of identification and learning problems is considered. An approach is presented leading to obtaining strongly consistent algorithms. Both cases of multi and single input/multi and single output (MIMO, MISO, SISO) linear stochastic dynamic systems are involved. Thus obtained, the recursive algorithms do not inv...

Aiming at the characteristics which variable air volume air conditioning system is multi-variable, nonlinear and uncertain system, normal fuzzy neural network is hard to meet the requirements which dynamic control of multi-variable. In this paper, we put forward a recursive neural network predictive control strategy based on wavelet neural network model. Through recursive wavelet neural network...
