Experimental realization of the quantum duel game using linear optical circuits

Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, 2015
We report on the experimental realization of the quantum duel game for two players, Alice and Bob. Using an all optical approach, we have encoded Alice and Bob states in transverse modes and polarization degrees of freedom of a laser beam, respectively. By setting Alice and Bob input states and considering the possibility of Alice performing two shots,

A Cross-Cultural Note on Verbal Dueling Games

The Journal of American Folklore, 1971
The behavior of the saintly but "foolish" Hodja in the Turkish dueling rhymes discussed in Dundees, Leach, and Ozkbk's recent provocative article, "The Strategy of Turkish Boys' Verbal Dueling Rhymes," (JAF 83:329, 342-343) is very similar to that found in an American joke about a much simpler form of dueling game: the "Knock-Knock" joke.

“Duel” Problem, Differential Game Model

2000
In all three competition models, the Nash, the Walras, and the Inspector, the steady-state conditions were considered, for simplicity. In real life competition processes, dynamics are essential. Dynamical competition models may be represented as differential games. They are difficult for numerical and visual analysis, as usual (Friedman, 1971; Galperin

Dueling Spouses. Power Games and Relational Metaphors in Post-Acquisition Integration

Academy of Management Proceedings, 2016
Our qualitative and longitudinal study depicts the successful post-acquisition integration of a German company within an Italian MNC as a sequence of both cooperative and conflictual power games. Building on longitudinal empirical evidence, the process of post-acquisition integration is conceptualized as the merger between two different institutional ...

A realistic aerial combat duel as a differential game study

The 22nd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control, 1983
Optimal control theory is applied to a realistic missile duel between two aircraft on nonshort range. The duel is formulated as a two person, zero-sum differential game with perfect information and free final times. The longitudinal acceleration of each vehicle is modelled in accordance with realistic aircraft and long range missiles, including ...

The Deadlist of Games: A Model of the Duel [PDF]

, 2002
Recent historical research indicates that ritualistic dueling had a rational basis. Basically, under certain social and economic conditions, individuals must fight in order to maintain their personal credit and social standing. A model of the duel, therefore, can be constructed. We model the duel as a two--players sequential game. This paper shows that

A post-training quantization method applied to the game-environment-based Dueling-DQN model

Applied and Computational Engineering, 2023
Reinforcement learning is a common method that focuses on the best behaviors that agents can get the highest rewards for in one particular environment. It was recently combined with deep learning to improve information perception. However, the traditional deep reinforcement model DQN is considered to be as computationally intensive as its layer ...

Game Theory and formal structure in Xenakis’s Duel (1959)1

2022
Game theory is the theoretical context of three compositions by Iannis Xenakis: Duel (1959), Strategy (1962) and Linaia-Agon (1972). The first two works oppose two orchestras, or more precisely two conductors, in a musical battle. The basic structure differs only in the size of the ensembles (Duel is written for two orchestras of twenty-eight musicians

Game of Duels: Combat as a Game in Middle High German Arthurian Romances

2023
Men have been finding different ways to resolve conflicts since the dawn of time. The biblical portrayal of Cain and Abel and their feud is one example of a dispute resulting in a fight and death. Over time, however, the methods by which men tried to resolve their arguments evolved into, for example, ordeals and later into single combat and trials by ...

Differential games and symbolic programming to calculate a guaranteed aircraft evasion in modern aerial duels

Proceedings of 1994 33rd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control, 2002
The improvement of guidance possibilities of medium range missiles with new missiles like the Mica/Amraam increases the number of phases in aerial duels and implies more complex shooting and escape strategies. Therefore we are interested in developing algorithmic methods to study these new duels, which are difficult to study merely with the classical ...
