Though it has appeared independently in a variety of contexts, it attracted tremendous attention from the wide scientific community when its instance on a large domain of the square lattice was put forward as the simplest rigorous example of self-organized criticality. Such phenomena, real-life examples of which are earthquakes, solar flares, or neuronal avalanches, could be vaguely described as being between order and chaos, demonstrating power laws without being finely tuned, and transcending the scale. Tropical geometry, on the other hand, is a field of pure mathematics [...]

На 17 октомври 2023 (вторник) от 14:00 в зала 503 на ИМИ ще се проведе поредното заседание на семинара на секция „Изследване на операциите, вероятности и статистика”. Доклад на тема: On an Infinite-Time Horizon Linear-Quadratic Game with Constrained Control ще изнесе Боян Стефанов. Абстракт. A linear-quadratic game on an infinite horizon for continuous and discrete-time systems is studied when the controls of the minimizing player are constrained. Our approach is based on the approximation of this game by a suitable finite-time horizon game. First, the existence of a saddle point equilibrium is proved for the unconstrained case. Next, it is established that there exists a delta-neighborhood of the origin in the state space where the control constraints are not active. Using this neighborhood, the [...]
