Fault Tolerant Broadcast in Bandwidth-Constrained Networks
… throughput rate. Additionally, we propose the MaxMin Rate Controller (MaxMin-RC) protocol as a feedback-based solution to optimize broadcast throughput in non-BFT settings, achieving close alignment with the optimal throughput rate. Through extensive simulations and evaluations, we demonstrate …

Essays in Political Economy
… for Sender’s preferred action and Sender has maxmin preferences over all Receiver type distributions with known mean and bounds. This problem can be represented as a zero-sum game where Sender chooses a mean-preserving contraction of the prior over states and adversarial Nature chooses a …

Structural control optimisation and health monitoring using newly developed techniques
… semi-active control algorithms named TSKInv and MaxMin, are also introduced in this research study to convert the force generated by nominal controller to the required voltage of MR dampers. TSKInv algorithm is developed by modelling the inverse dynamics of MR damper using TSK fuzzy inference …

Essays on bargaining and repeated games
… herself this much. It is shown that this maxmin share of the surplus is large relative to the player's initial reputation, and that the corresponding bargaining posture simply demands this share plus compensation for any delay in reaching agreement. The third essay studies the maximum …

Essays in Financial Economics
… are compared with Gilboa and Schmeidler's maxmin expected utility as well as variational formulations of ambiguity aversion. The impact of ambiguity aversion is illustrated in a simple static model of portfolio choice, as well as a dynamic model of optimal contracting under repeated moral …

Percolation in Two-Dimensional Grain Boundary Structures and Polycrystal Property Closures
… front method from genetic algorithms — the maxmin algorithm — is also demonstrated. The efficiency of the method is found to be reasonable for finding closures in the test case. Other general optimization techniques for the form of the problem in-hand are explored for completeness of the …

Essays in Economic Theory
… under uncertainty (subjective expected utility, maxmin, robust control) arise in the long run, depending on how quickly the agent becomes unsatisfied with unexplained evidence and whether they are misspecified. The misspecification concern’s endogeneity naturally induces behavior cycles, and we …

Interference management in wireless networks
… interference as noise is a solution to a convex maxmin optimization problem, and therefore the optimal transmit strategies and the corresponding best sum-rate can be efficiently computed using standard convex optimization algorithms. We also show that the corresponding best sum-rate is indeed …

Three essays on fair division and decision making under uncertainty
… generalize Gilboa and Schmeidler (1989)'s maxmin criterion and Maccheroni, Marinacci and Rustichini (2006)'s variational representation. This class, when restricted to preferences exhibiting constant absolute uncertainty aversion, is exactly Maccheroni, Marinacci and Rustichini (2006)'s …
