We study multiplayer stochastic multi-armed bandit problems in which the players cannot communicate and if two or more players pull the same arm, a collision occurs and the involved players receive zero reward. We consider two feedback models: a model in which the players can observe whether a collision has occurred an…
We study an elementary problem of the topological robotics: collective motion of a set of n distinct particles which one has to move from an initial configuration to a final configuration, with the requirement that no collisions occur in the process of motion. The ultimate goal is to construct an algorithm which will…
Maps are an important medium that enable people to comprehensively understand the configuration of cultural activities and natural elements over different times and places. Although massive maps are available in the digital era, how to effectively and accurately access the required map remains a challenge today. Previo…
Both bi-harmonic map and f-harmonic map have nice physical motivation and applications. In this paper, by combination of these two harmonic maps, we introduce and study f-bi-harmonic maps as the critical points of the f-bi-energy functional 21∫Mf∣τ(φ)∣2dvg. This class of maps generalizes both …

problem Deriving Liouville theorems for generalized maps on Riemannian manifolds.
method Using conservation laws and monotonicity formulas, the paper derives Liouville theorems for different types of maps under various conditions.
result The paper establishes Liouville theorems for several types of generalized maps, including φ-F harmonic maps, φ-F symphonic maps, and φ-F-V-harmonic maps.
The hyperelliptic mapping class group has been studied in various contexts within topology and algebraic geometry. What makes this study tractable is that there is a surjective map from the hyperelliptic mapping class group to a mapping class group of a punctured sphere. The more general family of superelliptic mapping…
A Reeb space is defined as the space of all the connected components of inverse images of a smooth map, which is a fundamental tool in studying smooth manifolds using generic smooth maps whose codimensions are not positive such as Morse functions, their higher dimensional versions including fold maps and general stable…
We introduce slant Riemannian maps from Riemannian manifolds to almost Hermitian manifolds as a generalization of slant immersions, invariant Riemannian maps and anti-invariant Riemannian maps. We give examples, obtain characterizations and investigate the harmonicity of such maps. We also obtain necessary and sufficie…
In this paper, we show that one can interrelate pluriharmonic maps with para-pluriharmonic maps by means of the loop group method. As an appendix, we give examples for the interrelation between pluriharmonic maps and para-pluriharmonic maps. Moreover, we investigate the relation among CMC-surfaces by use of such maps.
The construction of topological index maps for equivariant families of Dirac operators requires factoring a general smooth map through maps of a very simple type: zero sections of vector bundles, open embeddings, and vector bundle projections. Roughly speaking, a normally non-singular map is a map together with such a …
A vertex-transitive map X is a map on a closed surface on which the automorphism group Aut(X) acts transitively on the set of vertices. If the face-cycles at all the vertices in a map are of same type then the map is said to be a semi-equivelar map. Clearly, a vertex-transitive map is semi-equivelar. Converse…
Embeddings of mapping tori for end-periodic graph maps are proven.
problem Embedding mapping tori of end-periodic graph maps into finite complexes.
method Flowline-preserving homotopy equivalence and π1-injective map.
result Every mapping class of Γ arising from an end-periodic homotopy equivalence contains a representative whose mapping torus realizes such an embedding.
Biharmonic maps are generalizations of harmonic maps. A well-known result of Eells and Wood on harmonic maps between surfaces shows that there exists no harmonic map from a torus into a sphere (whatever the metrics chosen) in the homotopy class of maps of Brower degree ±1. It would be interesting to know if there …
