Lagrangian Quantum Homology for Lagrangian cobordism

open access: yes, 2015
We extend the definition of Lagrangian quantum homology to monotone Lagrangian cobordism and establish its general algebraic properties. In particular we develop a relative version of Lagrangian quantum homology associated to a cobordism relative to a part of its boundary and study relations of this invariant to the ambient quantum homology.

Fixed‐Time Zeroing Neural Dynamics for Adaptive Coordination of Multi‐Agent Systems

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents an adaptive multi‐agent coordination (AMAC) strategy suitable for complex scenarios, which only requires information exchange between neighbouring robots. Unlike traditional multi‐agent coordination methods that are solved by neural dynamics, the proposed strategy displays greater flexibility, adaptability and scalability ...

The Political Economy of Patent Buyouts

open access: yesThe RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Incentivizing innovation through buyouts may alleviate the social costs associated with patent power, but the political economy and feasibility of this potentially important financing mechanism have been understudied. We study an international setting of countries with different innovation and financing capabilities, and where financing ...
