The goal of this document is to provide a computationally practical guide to game-theoretic problems. We discuss the current intractibility of finding Nash Equilibria exactly, and of even specifying a game in normal form for a large number of players. But hope is not lost. Efficiently computable solution concepts are presented as alternatives to Nash Equilibria, with a corresponding notion of P...

to study the effect of seed sowing rate, different levels of nitrogen and different sowing dates on canola cultivar hyola401, a field experiment was conducted during 2005-2006 at safiabad agricultural research center. the design was a split split plot in a completely randomized block basis of 3 replications. main plots consisted of 3 levels of sowing dates (6, 26 nov and 16 dec), sub plots of 3...

Manufacturing performances tend to produce defects due to various reasons which can be improved by identifying and eliminating them using six sigma. In the present work, DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) has been used to reduce the number of vehicle engine rejection. In define phase problem was defined by selecting the core issues concerned. In the measure phase data was col...

to determine the best planting date and irrigation schedule in a cotton field (gossypium hirsutum var.varamin) in garmsar region an experiment was conducted in 2011. the experimental design was splitplot based on randomized complete block with three replications. three irrigation termination dates (2011sep 11th, 2011 sep 21st and 2011 oct 2nd) arranged in main plots as main factor and three pla...

sowing date and irrigation are two constrain factors for maize production. these factors can be simulated by using ceres-maize model. for this purpose two experiments (each one at two years) were carried out at agricultural research station of gorgan which is golestan province capital. the model was calibrated using three treatments of optimum irrigation and without stress in 2012 and two treat...
