Markov duels are a general class of stochastic duels in which each weapon has Markov-dependent fire, that is, the outcomes of shots by each weapon form a Markov process. This paper develops duel models for the situation in which the outcomes form a finite stationary Markov chain and both weapons have an unlimited supply of ammunition, fire at constant

The relative importance of kill probabilities, rates of fire, and other parameters in a duel is considered by examining their effect on the most natural measure of effectiveness, the probability that a given side will win. In the “fundamental” duel, two contestants, A and B, fire at each other until one is killed.

To Duel or Not to Duel? That Is a [Futuristic] Question
Experiment, 2017Abstract The Russian futurists were masters of scandal and provocation as ways of promoting their ideas, and their exhibitions, disputes, and performances often caused public outrage. One of the little-known scandals took place on the opening night of Pink Lantern cabaret in Moscow on October 19, 1913.

Formal "duels of honor" ruled upper-class conduct for centuries. That social pressure could compel a choice of "death before dishonor" seems nearly incomprehensible today. Physicians might have been expected to disdain dueling as contrary to professional ethics, but a few rather colorful physicians did enter the lists.

This paper considers the duel between two contestants with unlimited ammunition supplies, each one firing at the other. It assumes that the damage resulting from a round of fire is measurable and has a probability distribution. The cumulative damage function depends both on time and on number of rounds fired. For given rates of fire, damage functions,

Plant Pathology Bacteria thrive on sugar. So do plant cells. Yamada et al. now show how the fight for sugar plays out in the extracellular spaces around plant cells when pathogenic bacteria are invading the plant (see the Perspective by Dodds and Lagudah).

AbstractThis chapter examines what it calls ‘philosophical dramaturgy’—a challenge to theatricality that comes from a powerful philosophical appropriation of drama—and its claim that drama, as a mode of human self-understanding, can and does free itself from needing re-enactment or sensuous expression in order to present an understanding of human ...

Abstract After the invasion of Qi, Zhao was the last state left that stood out as a military leader among the eastern states. Zhao’s power had been increased by the reforms of King Wuling of Zhao (r. 325 B.C.E.-299 B.C.E.), who had dramatically increased the cavalry power of Zhao by imposing “barbarian dress (hu fu)” on his courtiers ...
