Mean-Field-Type Games for Engineers

Mean-Field-Type Games for Engineers

The contents of this book comprise an appropriate background to start working and doing research on mean-field-type control and game theory. To make the exposition and explanation even easier we first study the deterministic optimal control and differential linear-quadratic games. Then we progressively add complexity step-by-step and little-by-little to the problem settings until we finally study and analyze mean-field-type control and game problems incorporating several stochastic processes e. g. Brownian motions Poisson jumps and random coefficients. We go beyond the Nash equilibrium which provides a solution for non- cooperative games by analyzing other game-theoretical concepts such as the Berge Stackelberg adversarial/robust and co-opetitive equilibria. For the mean-field-type game analysis we provide several numerical examples using a Matlab-based user-friendly toolbox that is available for the free use to the readers of this book. We present several engineering applications in both continuous and discrete time. Among these applications we find the following: water distribution systems micro-grid energy storage stirred tank reactor mechanism design for evolutionary dynamics multi-level building evacuation problem and the COVID-19 propagation control. With such a demand from engineering audiences this book is very timely and provides a thorough study of mean-field-type game theory. The strenuous protagonist of this book is to bridge between the theoretical findings and engineering solutions. The book introduces the basics first and then mathematical frameworks are elaborately explained. The engineering application examples are shown in detail and the popular learning approaches are also investigated. Those advantageous characteristics will make this book a comprehensive handbook of many engineering fields for many years and I will buy one when it gets published.

The Revolutionary Ascetic Evolution of a Political Type

The Revolutionary Ascetic Evolution of a Political Type

Why have the great revolutionary leaders of modern times from Robespierre to Lenin and Mao Tse-tung‘so often been ascetics austere puritans with few emotional ties? What functions political as well as personal do these ascetic traits perform for the modern revolutionary leader and for his followers?Noted historian and author Bruce Mazlish is convinced that beginning in the nineteenth century the needs of modernizing revolutions have produced a distinct new type of political leader the revolutionary ascetic. This individual's denial of personal pleasures and commitments both enables him to perform politically necessary if personally repulsive revolutionary acts and to command the allegiance of his more worldly followers. Starting with Cromwell and the religious ascetics of the Puritan Revolution Mazlish shows in a series of fascinating personality sketches how this asceticism first became secularized with the French Revolution and then in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries was put to the service of a new kind of total modernizing revolution in Russia China and elsewhere. In two remarkably vivid portraits of Lenin and Mao Tse-tung Mazlish shows us precisely how two of the century's best-known revolutionaries consciously and unconsciously used their personal asceticism to induce revolutionary change. | The Revolutionary Ascetic Evolution of a Political Type

Plasma Applications for Material Modification From Microelectronics to Biological Materials

Plasma Applications for Material Modification From Microelectronics to Biological Materials

This book is an up-to-date review of the most important plasma-based techniques for material modification from microelectronics to biological materials and from fusion plasmas to atmospheric ones. Each its technical chapters is written by long-experienced internationally recognised researchers. The book provides a deep and comprehensive insight into plasma technology and its associated elemental processes and is illustrated throughout with excellent figures and references to complement each section. Although some of the topics covered can be traced back several decades care has been taken to emphasize the most recent findings and expected evolution. The first time the word ‘plasma’ appeared in print in a scientific text related to the study of electrical discharges in gases was 1928 when Irving Langmuir published his article ‘Oscillations in Ionized Gases’. It was the baptism of the predominant state of matter in the known universe (it is estimated that up to 99% of matter is plasma) although not on earth where the conditions of pressure and temperature make normal the states of matter (solid liquid gas) which in global terms are exotic. It is enough to add energy to a solid (in the form of heat or electromagnetic radiation) to go into the liquid state from which gas is obtained through an additional supply of energy. If we continue adding energy to the gas we will partially or totally ionise it and reach a new state of matter plasma made up of free electrons atoms and molecules (electrically neutral particles) and ions (endowed with a positive or a negative electric charge). | Plasma Applications for Material Modification From Microelectronics to Biological Materials

Design and Control of Grid-Connected Photovoltaic System

Design and Control of Grid-Connected Photovoltaic System

The current model for electricity generation and distribution is dominated by centralized power plants which are typically associated with combustion (coal oil and natural gas) or nuclear generation units. These power models require distribution from the center to outlying consumers and have many disadvantages concerning the electric utilities transmission and distribution and greenhouse gas emissions. This resulted in the modelling and development of cleaner renewable power generation with alternative sources such as photovoltaic (PV) wind and other sources. Further due to matured PV technology constant drop-in installation cost greenhouse emissions reductions energy efficiency reduced transmission and distribution investments minimization of electric losses and network support the development of PV systems is proliferating. In view of this development this book provides an idea for setting up the PV plant from initial study of the site to plan sizing. Once the first planning is covered the book focuses on the modeling aspects of power electronics converter and control elements associated with it keeping the operating standards specified for the development of distributed generation systems in check. This book will be useful for industrial professionals and researchers who are working toward modeling of PV plants and their control in grid connected operation.

Ultrafine Bubbles

Ultrafine Bubbles

Ultrafine bubbles (UFBs) are gas-filled bubbles with a diameter smaller than 1 μm. They are sometimes called bulk nanobubbles because these are not on a solid surface but inside a bulk liquid (water). They are already being used in commercial processes such as cleaning and plant cultivation. However many mysteries still exist with respect to UFBs such as mechanisms of stability OH radical formation and biological and medical effects. This is the first book on UFBs that reviews research done on them. It is helpful for those interested in the fundamentals of this emerging field and its applications including cleaning biological medical and dental students and researchers.
