Satisficing Theory and Non-Cooperative Games
… game theory is an alternative to traditional non-cooperative game theory which offers increased flexibility in modeling players' social interactions. However, satisficing players with conflicting attitudes may implement dysfunctional behaviors, leading to poor performance. In this thesis, we …

Effective Resource Allocation for Non-cooperative Spectrum Sharing
… However, prior analysis has focussed on Shannon capacity as the utility function, even though it is known that real signals do not, in general, meet the Gaussian distribution assumptions of that metric. In a non-cooperative spectrum sharing environment, the Shannon capacity utility function …

Autonomous Visual Servo Robotic Capture of Non-cooperative Target
… control scheme for the autonomous capture of a non-cooperative target by robotic manipulators for active space debris removal and on-orbit servicing. It is focused on the final capture stage by robotic manipulators after the orbital rendezvous and proximity maneuver being completed. Two …

Reinforcement learning for trading dialogue agents in non-cooperative negotiations
… Dialogue Management have been mainly made in cooperative environments -where the dialogue system tries to help a human to meet their goals. In non-cooperative environments though, such as competitive trading, there is still much work to be done. The complexity of such an environment rises as …

Cooperative and Non-Cooperative Flow Control in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
… flow control has been studied in a cooperative network environment. Such cooperative behavior is not a realistic assumption in a public MANET formed by a random group of strangers. Users in this network are likely to behave selfishly, by refusing to forward other users' packets. …

Robust Online Trajectory Prediction for Non-cooperative Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have got a boost in their applications in civilian areas like aerial photography, agriculture, communication, etc. An increasing research effort is being exerted to develop sophisticated trajectory prediction methods for UAVs for collision detection …

Low-complexity near-optimum detection techniques for non-cooperative and cooperative MIMO systems
… and complexity in the context of uncoded non-cooperative Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems using coherent detection. Particular attention is devoted to Spatial Division Multiple Accessing (SDMA) aided Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems, which are …

Organizational patterns and administrative practices for implementing the vocational non-cooperative distributive education program
… for implementing the Distributive Education non-cooperative preparatory program. Purposes. The purposes of the study were to determine administrative practices and organizational patterns in states already offering programs; to determine those recommended by the states preparing to offer …

Pseudo Doppler Direction Finding System for Localizing Non-Cooperative VHF Transmitters with a Hybrid UAS
… of determining the approximate location of a non-cooperative VHF transmitter that could easily be implemented on a variety of unmanned systems. One unmanned aerial system was designed, built, and evaluated. Existing open source hardware and software systems were utilized for the development of …

Practical packet combining for use with cooperative and non-cooperative ARQ schemes in wireless sensor networks
… combining approaches are used. These include cooperative communications and hybrid-ARQ schemes which have been shown to be of major benefit for wireless communications. Using the packet combining scheme developed in this thesis more than an 85% reduction in energy costs are possible over …

Gas network optimisation using Nash equilibria derived from dynamic non-cooperative non-zero sum game theory
… for such a development, based on a dynamicnon-cooperative game theoretic approach, in which the national transmission system(NTS) is viewed as a closed trading market for the trade of gas related commodities.The bulk of the thesis describes how the NTS is decentralized to be …

Autonomous Landing of a Rotary Unmanned Aerial Vehicle in a Non-cooperative Environment using Machine Vision
Landing an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is a non-trivial problem. Removing the ability to cooperate with the landing site further increases the complexity. This thesis develops a multi-stage process that allows a UAV to locate the safest landing site, and then land without a georeference. Machine …

Ground-based ISAR imaging of cooperative and non-cooperative sea vessels with 3-D rotational motion
… and to develop effective techniques for imaging cooperative and non-cooperative sea vessels for RCS measurement and ship-classification purposes respectively. Much research has been done to investigate the effect of 3-D rotational motion on an ISAR image under the assumption that an object's axis …

The Relationship of Dominance, Reproductive State and Stress in a Non-Cooperative Breeder, The Domestic Horse (<em>Equus caballus</em>)
… studies, often conducted with individuals from non-social species, have shown that subordinates have higher stress hormone levels than dominant individuals (subordinatestress hypothesis). However, in carnivorous animals that are cooperative breeders, displays of aggression are associated with …

Study of Autonomous Capture and Detumble of Non-Cooperative Target by a Free-Flying Space Manipulator Using an Air-Bearing Platform
This thesis developed a 3-DOF satellite simulator with an attached 3-DOF manipulator to capture and detumble a target satellite simulator. Existing systems are heavily dependent on external systems to compute the position and orientation of the chaser and target satellite simulators. Using external …

Real-time Evaluation of Vision-based Navigation for Autonomous Landing of a Rotorcraft Unmanned Aerial Vehicle in a Non-cooperative Environment
… positioning aids. Examples of these types of non-cooperative environments could range from remote mountainous regions to an urban building rooftop or a cluttered parking lot. The research of this thesis builds upon an approach that was initiated at NASA Ames Research Center to advance …

Bargaining Theory
… to the study of bargaining using the methods of non-cooperative game theory. In Part I (chapters 1 and 2) we examine the role of commitment in bilateral bargaining. Two different notions of commitment in bargaining are explored in two different non-cooperative infinite-time horizon sequential …
