The Theory of Search Games and Rendezvous
Author: Steve Alpern
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0306482126
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
Search Theory is one of the original disciplines within the field of Operations Research. It deals with the problem faced by a Searcher who wishes to minimize the time required to find a hidden object, or “target. ” The Searcher chooses a path in the “search space” and finds the target when he is sufficiently close to it. Traditionally, the target is assumed to have no motives of its own regarding when it is found; it is simply stationary and hidden according to a known distribution (e. g. , oil), or its motion is determined stochastically by known rules (e. g. , a fox in a forest). The problems dealt with in this book assume, on the contrary, that the “target” is an independent player of equal status to the Searcher, who cares about when he is found. We consider two possible motives of the target, and divide the book accordingly. Book I considers the zero-sum game that results when the target (here called the Hider) does not want to be found. Such problems have been called Search Games (with the “ze- sum” qualifier understood). Book II considers the opposite motive of the target, namely, that he wants to be found. In this case the Searcher and the Hider can be thought of as a team of agents (simply called Player I and Player II) with identical aims, and the coordination problem they jointly face is called the Rendezvous Search Problem.

Book Description
Princess Nightshade and her friends are at it again, this time accepting a desperate plea for help. Hannah, retired from being a war-daughter, has been teaching Saraly all she knows. Fuzbud is well on his way to becoming a wizard with Wizard Gloxnix's help. With Intessa, the unicorn, they all embark on a voyage across two seas that could end in disaster. Will friends like Intessa and Hepzibannah, the dragon, be able to help? And how can they outwit an evil old Vizier who has managed to rule many kings for too many years? As always, however, it is the unexpected that really tests their hearts, their strengths, and their friendship. The future of three kingdoms may be resolved by their success, or failure.

Cognitive Search

Languages : en
Pages : 417
Book Description
An exploration of the evolution, function, and mechanisms of search for resources in the mind and in the world. Over a century ago, William James proposed that people search through memory much as they rummage through a house looking for lost keys. We scour our environments for territory, food, mates, and information. We search for items in visual scenes, for historical facts, and for the best deals on Internet sites; we search for new friends to add to our social networks, and for solutions to novel problems. What we find is always governed by how we search and by the structure of the environment. This book explores how we search for resources in our minds and in the world. The authors examine the evolution and adaptive functions of search; the neural underpinnings of goal-searching mechanisms across species; psychological models of search in memory, decision making, and visual scenes; and applications of search behavior in highly complex environments such as the Internet. As the range of information, social contacts, and goods continues to expand, how well we are able to search and successfully find what we seek becomes increasingly important. At the same time, search offers cross-disciplinary insights to the scientific study of human cognition and its evolution. Combining perspectives from researchers across numerous domains, this book furthers our understanding of the relationship between search and the human mind.
