Global convergence of local agent behaviors

Proceedings of the fourth international joint conference on Autonomous agents and multiagent systems, 2005
Many multi-agent systems seek to reconcile two apparently inconsistent constraints. The system has a global overall objective. However, the agents have only local information to guide their actions. Such systems are presently more art than science. They often exhibit regularities (such as exponential convergence) that we do not understand, and we do ...

On the local behavior of the Orlicz–Sobolev classes

Journal of Mathematical Sciences, 2017
For a domain \(D\) of a Riemannian manifold \(M\) of dimension \(n\geq 3\), the authors study families of mappings of the Orlic-Sobolev classes in \(D\) into \(M\). They prove that these families are equicontinuous, when their internal dilatation of the order \(p\in (n-1,n]\) has a majorant of the finite mean oscillation class at every point of the ...

Behavioral devaluation by local resistance to dopamine

Nature Neuroscience
Repeated experiences can cause behavior-specific fatigue. We use Drosophila to study this common form of motivational change, finding that prior matings make males more likely to abandon future copulations when challenged. Here we show that, during mating, dopamine signals through the D2-like receptor (D2R) to promote resilience to challenges that ...

Physiological and behavioral studies of sound localization.

Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics, 2013
A critical job of the auditory system is to localize sounds, which depends upon spectral cues provided by the filtering of the pinna for vertical localization and interaural time (ITDs) and level disparities (ILDs) for horizontal localization. We found anatomical and physiological specializations in the circuits that encode these cues.

A Note on Local Behavior of Multiple Eigenvalues

SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications, 1989
The author investigates the local behavior of multiple eigenvalues of a symmetric eigenproblem analytically dependent on several parameters. The directional derivatives of the eigenvalues are given which are useful for investigating structural vibration design and control system design.

Incentivizing local behavior in distributed systems

52nd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control, 2013
Game theory is a well-established discipline in the social sciences that is primarily used for modeling social behavior. Traditionally, the preferences of the individual agents are modeled as utility functions and the resulting behavior is assumed to be an equilibrium concept associated with these modeled utility functions, e.g., Nash equilibrium.
