Secondary Voltage Control Using Partial Information Structures
… a method of voltage control which uses a partial information structure. In this method, the information available to the controller is the set of voltages at a small set of busses in the system called pilot points. The information from the pilot points is then used in a hierarchical control …

Information Structures in Nash and Leader-Follower Strategies
The role of information structures in some Nash and Leader-Follower games is examined. By preserving the information structure of the full order singularly perturbed game, while solving the reduced order ones, reduced order near optimal strategies are obtained and well-posedness is shown for two …

Patternmakers and toolbuilders: the design of information structures in the professional practice of architecture
… at work, where the focus of attention was on the information used during the life of a design project. What became apparent during this study was that the business management of the project, and the artifacts associated with that phase of work, often overwhelmed the actual design effort in terms …

Essays on Information Economics
… Every chapter deals with the question of how information affects equilibrium behavior in strategic problems. Chapter 1 is my job market paper "Limits of Global Games.'' It considers the impact of information on equilibrium multiplicity in two-player games of strategic complementarities. Games …

Novel frameworks for auctions and optimization
… to alternative specifications of preferences and information structures in Vickrey and VCG auctions. Part II introduces novel frameworks for understanding first-order methods in optimization. This enables us to (1) break 20-year barriers on the running time used for solving positive linear …

Optimal distributed control and estimation for systems with spatiotemporal dynamics
… In these, relying only on spatially localized information transfer might be preferred or even imperative for control and estimation. Motivated by this challenge, this dissertation analyzes optimal distributed control and estimation synthesis for systems with spatiotemporal dynamics. Emphasis is …

Dynamic sequential decision problems with asymmetric information: some existence results
… problems -- games and teams -- with asymmetric information. It is divided into two parts and addresses six broad theoretical problems. In the first part of the thesis, the focus is on dynamic games, in which the decision makers do not observe the same set of random variables at every time step …

Integration of heterogeneous data types using self organizing maps
… existing databases can significantly enrich the information provided by these data. This problem is called data integration: combining data residing at different sources, and providing the user with a unified view of these data. There are two issues with making use of remote data sources: (1) …

Algorithms for autonomous urban navigation with formal specifications
… non-cooperative Nash equilibria under various information structures. This work builds upon ideas from three different fields, viz., sampling-based motion-planning algorithms to construct efficient concretizations of general, continuous time dynamical systems, model checking for formal …

Dynamic global game coordination risks
… over a finite time horizon and introduce new information structures of the the agents invested in the project. Our main results come from extensions to the dynamic global game model. First, we model public signals of the health of the project between all agents invested in it and show under …

Multimodal learning and language models for enhanced knowledge representations
… combines multiple modalities—text, graph structures, and tabular formats—each encoding distinct but complementary insights. Effectively integrating these heterogeneous sources remains one of the most significant open challenges in artificial intelligence research. In this thesis, I …

Identifying Asymmetries in Web-based Transfer Student Information that is Believed to be Correct using Fully Integrated Mixed Methods
… few pieces interrogate the underlying website structures that facilitate those experiences as the unit of analysis. Information related to facilitating transfer from one institution to another is often fragmented across multiple webpages or policies and uses language not optimal for …

Characterizing the Value and Effect of Perceptiveness in Various Game-Theoretic Settings
… market-entry game that is influenced by an information designer who aims to maximize producer surplus. In each model, I consider distinct information structures, which vary in terms of the players' levels of expertise and perceptiveness. In the first two models, I solve for the Bayesian Nash …

Dynamic multi-person optimization with weakly coupled agents
… have studied LQG teams featuring a nonclassical information pattern, nonlinear deterministic differential games, LQG nonzero-sum games and Markov decision problems. In the case of LQG teams, we showed the existence of finite-dimensional linear controllers (FDLCs) which approximate the optimal …

The Language of Collapsing Power: A Cognitive-Lingusitic Critical Discourse Analysis of the Arab Spring Speeches of Mubarak
… model that explains its manipulative information structures and cognitive processing dynamics. Chapter Six compares the three speeches intertextually, on the afore-mentioned five levels, and contrasts Mubarak’s language of power, i.e. his pre-Arab Spring discourse, with his language of …

Exploring the political communication dynamics in South Africa’s platinum industry: the case of Marikana
… As skeins of connectivity, mediated political information structures social imaginaries within a nation, and thus contributes to development trajectories. Two, within political communication processes there exists potential for a ‘Social Justice of Communication’, as theorized by Jurgen …

The effects of five discrete variables on human performance in a telephone information system
… performance using a computer-based telephone information system. The five variables were: speech rate (120 or 240 words per minute), length of input time-out (two or ten seconds), feedback (available or not available), wallet guide - a graphical representation of the information (available or …
