Optimal strategies for selecting from multiple asteroid interception targets
… one of which can be intercepted. The resulting optimal trajectory must maximize the amount of time the vehicle can travel before committing to intercepting one of the three bodies of interest, assuring that all three bodies are available for intercept within a maximum flight time. This time …

Reducing future bushfire risk : optimal strategies for fuel load reduction
… (LCC) to evaluate three fuel load reduction strategies: Fuel Reduction Burning (FRB), Mechanical Fuel Load Reduction (MFLR), and their combination. The DSS quantifies environmental impacts (e.g., greenhouse gas and PM2.5 emissions), economic costs, social cost, and geospatial feasibility. …

Finding optimal strategies for influencing social networks in two player games
This thesis considers the problem of optimally influencing social networks in Afghanistan as part of ongoing counterinsurgency efforts. The social network is analyzed using a discrete time agent based model. Each agent has a belief [-0.5,0.5] and interacts stochastically pairwise with their …

Optimal strategies to improve railroad train safety and reduce hazardous materials transportation risk
… hazardous materials release risk and identify optimal solutions to efficiently reduce the risk. This research is organized into three principal parts: derailment analysis, risk analysis and decision analysis. First, statistical models are developed to estimate train derailment rates. The …

THINKING POKER THROUGH GAME THEORY
… without cards, will be provided to illustrate optimal strategies. Extensions to those models will be presented, and we will show that optimal strategies still exist. Finally, we will close this paper with an original work to an extension that can be used as a medium to creating more extensions …

Some multivariate problems of a spatial model of voting under majority rule
… the structure of this model we identify various optimal strategies for the candidates for office. Second, we show that all existing spatial models which purport to encompass voting abstentions by citizens who are alienated from the candidates are either mathematically inaccurate or else they …

Ambiguity Aversion in Commodity Markets
… ambiguity, robust prices, and resulting hedging strategies and provide perturbative approximations when analytical methods fail. A key insight is that the effect of ambiguity aversion is the strongest at-the-money and the weakest deep-in- or deep out-of-the-money. Finally, we study electricity …

A game theory analysis of proposed strategies of an aerial search for a mobile surface target.
… is the game theoretic analysis of various strategies available to the searcher and the evader. Four strategies for each are compared and evaluated, with optimal strategies, within the set of strategies investigated, being derived.

Dominion: A Game of Information Exploitation
… game published in 2012 to investigate optimal strategies for managing security resources in response to Advanced Persistent Threats. In this thesis, we place FlipIt within a more general category of 'stealthy move' games, and provide an approach towards solving such games. We produce a …

Information Structures in Nash and Leader-Follower Strategies
… the reduced order ones, reduced order near optimal strategies are obtained and well-posedness is shown for two classes of Leader-Follower games. Decision-dependent information structure is employed in both Nash games and optimal coordination problems and two market models of duopoly with …

The structure of optimal and nearly-optimal quantum strategies for non-local XOR games
We study optimal and nearly-optimal quantum strategies for non-local XOR games. First, we prove the following general result: for every non-local XOR game, there exists a set of relations with the properties: (1) a quantum strategy is optimal for the game if and only if it satisfies the relations, …

Furthermore, before a collusion being successfully mounted, the colluders must be stimulated to cooperate with each other and …

Optimal bioeconomic management of changing marine resources
… fewer have been used to study how trends affect optimal harvests. I developed and analyzed several models that explore, first, endogenous change caused by harvest and, second, exogenous change from factors (such as rising ocean temperatures) outside harvesters' control. In these models, I …
