A concept of weighted connectivity on connected graphs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The introduction of a {0,1}-valued game associated to a connected graph allows us to assign to each node a value of weighted connectivity to the different solutions that for the cooperative games are obtained by means of the semivalues.

Quantal Response Equilibria in Binary Choice Games on Graphs [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
Static and dynamic equilibria in noisy binary choice games on graphs are considered. Equations defining static quantal response equilibria (QRE) for binary choice games on graphs with arbitrary topology and noise distribution are written. It is shown that in the special cases of complete graph and arbitrary noise distribution, and circular and star ...

Maker-Breaker total domination game

open access: yes, 2019
Maker-Breaker total domination game in graphs is introduced as a natural counterpart to the Maker-Breaker domination game recently studied by Duch\^ene, Gledel, Parreau, and Renault. Both games are instances of the combinatorial Maker-Breaker games.

Novel Use of Laser Zone‐Drawing on Nanofibers Enables Ultra‐Fast Thermal Kinetics and Precise Diameter Control

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This work explores the thermal kinetics of laser‐zone‐drawn electrospun nanofibers. Laser‐zone drawing is a technique that allows for localized heating of nanofiber segments, which results in better mechanical drawing. The high surface‐to‐volume ratio of nanofibers allows for ultrafast thermal kinetics at small diameters.

Strategic Decompositions of Normal Form Games: Zero-sum Games and Potential Games [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2016
We study new classes of games, called zero-sum equivalent games and zero-sum equivalent potential games, and prove decomposition theorems involving these classes of games. We say that two games are "strategically equivalent" if, for every player, the payoff differences between two strategies (holding other players' strategies fixed) are identical.

Trading locality for time: certifiable randomness from low-depth circuits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The generation of certifiable randomness is the most fundamental information-theoretic task that meaningfully separates quantum devices from their classical counterparts. We propose a protocol for exponential certified randomness expansion using a single

Complex Assemblies of Colloidal Microparticles with Compliant DNA Linkers and Magnetic Actuation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
High‐surface‐energy polycarbonate templates are used to assemble polystyrene microspheres, improving yields more than 100‐fold. These higher yields facilitate the construction of active colloids and complex microstructures, including 10‐sphere microrotors and a 26‐sphere “CMU.” These active colloids are connected with compliant DNA linkages, enabling ...

The Combinatorial Game Theory of Well-Tempered Scoring Games [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2011
We consider the class of "well-tempered" integer-valued scoring games, which have the property that the parity of the length of the game is independent of the line of play. We consider disjunctive sums of these games, and develop a theory for them analogous to the standard theory of disjunctive sums of normal-play partizan games.

Impartial Games and Recursive Functions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Interest in 2-player impartial games often concerns the famous theory of Sprague-Grundy. In this thesis we study other aspects, bridging some gaps between combinatorial number theory, computer science and combinatorial games.
