Due to the lack of information such as the space environment condition and resident space objects' (RSOs') body characteristics, current orbit predictions that are solely grounded on physics-based models may fail to achieve required accuracy for collision avoidance and have led to satellite collisions already. This pap…
One approach to designing decision making logic for an aircraft collision avoidance system frames the problem as a Markov decision process and optimizes the system using dynamic programming. The resulting collision avoidance strategy can be represented as a numeric table. This methodology has been used in the developme…
The paper addresses the Multiplayer Multi-Armed Bandit (MMAB) problem, where M decision makers or players collaborate to maximize their cumulative reward. When several players select the same arm, a collision occurs and no reward is collected on this arm. Players involved in a collision are informed about this collis…
Algorithm reduces regret in multi-player bandits with unknown collision rewards.
problem Reducing regret in multi-player multi-armed bandits with unknown collision rewards.
method Proposes an algorithm that combines a modified successive elimination strategy with a communication protocol to estimate suboptimality gaps and coordinate among players.
result Achieves logarithmic regret for the problem when collision reward is unknown.
An important application of intelligent vehicles is advance detection of dangerous events such as collisions. This problem is framed as a problem of optimal alarm choice given predictive models for vehicle location and motion. Techniques for real-time collision detection are surveyed and grouped into three classes: ran…
In this paper, we construct two families of satellite constructions for Brunnian links, called the satellite sum and the satellite tie. An interesting fact is that by applying the satellite sum and the satellite tie constructions, we can build infinitely many new Brunnian links from any given Brunnian links. With the h…
Any knot in a solid torus, called a pattern or satellite operator, acts on knots in the 3-sphere via the satellite construction. We introduce a generalization of satellite operators which form a group (unlike traditional satellite operators), modulo a generalization of concordance. This group has an action on the set o…
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…
The configuration manifold M of a mechanical system consisting of two unconstrained rigid bodies in Rn, n≥1, is a manifold with boundary (typically with singularities.) A complete description of the system requires boundary conditions that specify how orbits should be continued after collisions. A b…
The Gluck twist preserves the diffeomorphism type of certain satellite 2-knots.
problem Preserving the diffeomorphism type of satellite 2-knots under the Gluck twist.
method Using new descriptions of satellite 2-knots, the paper shows that the Gluck twist does not change the diffeomorphism type of certain satellite 2-knots in three ways.
result The Gluck twist preserves the diffeomorphism type of certain satellite 2-knots.
We give sufficient conditions for a satellite knot to admit an L-space surgery, and use this result to give new infinite families of patterns which produce satellite L-space knots.
Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for a satellite knot to be fibered. Any knot k~ embeds in an unknotted solid torus V~ with arbitrary winding number in such a way that no satellite knot with pattern (V~,k~) is fibered. In particular, there exist nonfibered satellite knots wit…
Centrality, as a geometrical property of the collision, is crucial for the physical interpretation of nucleus-nucleus and proton-nucleus experimental data. However, it cannot be directly accessed in event-by-event data analysis. Common methods for centrality estimation in A-A and p-A collisions usually rely on a single…
We conjecture that satellite operations are either constant or have infinite rank in the concordance group. We reduce this to the difficult case of winding number zero satellites, and use SO(3) gauge theory to provide a general criterion sufficient for the image of a satellite operation to generate an infinite rank s…
