From Duels to Battlefields: Computing Equilibria of Blotto and Other Games

Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2016
We study the problem of computing Nash equilibria of zero-sum games.Many natural zero-sum games have exponentially many strategies, but highly structured payoffs. For example, in the well-studied Colonel Blotto game (introduced by Borel in 1921), players must divide a pool of troops among a set of battlefields with the goal of winning (

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

A Review of a Decade of Anadromous Salmonid Hatchery (And Stocking) Research: Insights for Policy, Management and a Changing Climate

Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hatcheries and stocking programmes have long been a cornerstone of fisheries management, seen as tools for fisheries enhancement and/or conservation of threatened populations. Their use draws controversy, however, from a growing body of research over the last 50 years suggesting that stocking can have negative consequences for wild stocks, and

Winning is not the only metric: the complexity of control manipulation in knockout tournaments for a redefined goal

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract We study control manipulation by generalizing the notion of success in knockout tournaments. The definition of success can be broadened to include other concepts of accomplishment rather than focusing solely on the identity of the tournament winner. Manipulation can be done in favor of diverse stakeholders.
