Two Essays on Tax Evasion
… analyze theoretical and empirical issues in tax evasion. The first studies the optimal tax mix in a competitive economy of identical firms and heterogeneous taxpayers where linear commodity and income taxes can be evaded at a private cost and under the uncertainty of audit lotteries. We derive …

Pursuit-evasion games in mobile networks
… this area, we model the intrusion as a pursuit-evasion game in continuous time and space. We model the intruder as an antagonistic agent and apply tools from differential game theory in order to obtain the optimal motion strategies for the agents to track the intruder as well as evade intrusion.

Multi-agent Coordination Algorithms for Pursuit-Evasion
… is a paramount concern. Based on pursuit-evasion games, this thesis investigates the safe distributed implicit coordination of large-scale multi-agent systems, as some self-organizing systems in nature. Particularly, five research questions are answered in the thesis: (1) how to resolve …

Optimal evasion against a proportionally guided pursuer
We consider the problem of optimal evasion when the pursuer is known to employ fixed gain proportional navigation. The performance index is a measure of closest approach. The analysis is done for planar motions at constant speed. The kinematics are first linearized around a nominal collision …

Essays on the theory of tax evasion
Literature on tax evasion has generally ignored the effects of tax evasion by a monopolist in a regulatory environment. When the government is asymmetrically informed about the monopolist's demand and/or costs, however, the fIrm may have the opportunity to cheat on its regulatory constraint and tax …

Developing an Advanced IPv6 Evasion Attack Detection Framework
… are common between IPv4 and IPv6, e.g. Evasion attack, Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) and Fragmentation attack. According to the IPv6 RFC (Request for Comment) recommendations, there are potential attacks against various Operating Systems. Discrepancies between the behaviour of …

Visibility-Based Pursuit-Evasion with Probabilistic Evader Models
… an algorithm for a visibility-based pursuit-evasion problem in a simply-connected two-dimensional environment, in which a single pursuer has access to a probabilistic model describing how the evaders are likely to move in the environment. The application of our algorithm can be best viewed in …

Pursuit and Evasion of Drone Swarms and Turrets
… several challenges for the defender. The pursuit-evasion problem that arises from the need to engage each of the drones in the swarm in an efficient way and subject to constraints is an example of a Moving Target Traveling Salesman Problem with Time Windows (MTTSPTW). A defending turret must visit …

Learning in the Multi-Robot Pursuit Evasion Game
… playing the differential forms of the pursuit-evasion (PE) game by proposing different learning algorithms. The intended learning algorithms are used to reduce (1) the computational requirements as much as possible, without affecting the overall performance of the learning algorithm, (2) the …

Analysis of Evasion Techniques in Web-based Malware
… malware authors often take advantage of various evasion techniques to evade detection. As a result, a constant arms race of evasion and detection techniques between malware authors and security analysts has led to advancement in code obfuscation and anti-analysis techniques. This dissertation …

Tuberculosis transcriptomics: host protection and immune evasion mechanisms
… to pinpoint novel host protection and immune evasion genes and elucidate the role of these genes in vitro macrophage assays and in vivo knockout mouse studies. The data in this thesis showed that basic leucine zipper transcription factor 2 (Batf2) was an important factor that regulates …

The Economics of Entrepreneurship: Subsidies, Risk and Tax Evasion
… The model suggests that higher levels of tax evasion lead to lower levels of capital and consumption in a given economy at all points in time. Also, tax evasion leads to a decrease in government revenue. Finally, the model predicts that tax evasion will have no impact on the long-term economic …

Evasion Of Innate Immunity By The Pathogen Coxiella Burnetii
Host immune cells use multiple strategies to detect and protect against microbial infections. In turn, pathogens have evolved ways to evade these strategies to remain undetected. The elegant interplay between these host-pathogen interactions is displayed by studies on the innate immune system, …

Bias and Fairness of Evasion Attacks in Image Perturbation
… AI systems. In leveraging the Fawkes in Evasion Attack method and through running additional experiments against the Fawkes system, we were able to prove that the effectiveness of perturbations added in privacy protection of images depends on how we stratify the input population based on …
