Download or read book Problems of Reducing the Exhaustive Search written by Vladik Kreinovich and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1997 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection contains translations of papers on propositional satisfiability and related logical problems which appeared in roblemy Sokrashcheniya Perebora, published in Russian in 1987 by the Scientific Council "Cybernetics" of the USSR Academy of Sciences. The problems form the nucleus of this intensively developing area. This translation is dedicated to the memory of two remarkable Russian mathematicians, Sergei Maslov and his wife Nina Maslova. Maslov is known as the originator of the universe method in automated deduction, which was discovered at the same time as the resolution method of J. A. Robison and has approximately the same range of applications. In 1981, Maslov proposed an iterative algorithm for propositional satisfiability based on some general ideas of search described in detail in his posthumously published book, Theory of Deductive Systems and Its Applications (1986; English 1987). This collection contains translations of papers on propositional satisfiability and related logical problems. The papers related to Maslov's iterative method of search reduction play a significant role.

Download or read book Bounded Rationality in Decision Making Under Uncertainty Towards Optimal Granularity written by Joe Lorkowski and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-01 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses an intriguing question: are our decisions rational? It explains seemingly irrational human decision-making behavior by taking into account our limited ability to process information. It also shows with several examples that optimization under granularity restriction leads to observed human decision-making. Drawing on the Nobel-prize-winning studies by Kahneman and Tversky, researchers have found many examples of seemingly irrational decisions: e.g., we overestimate the probability of rare events. Our explanation is that since human abilities to process information are limited, we operate not with the exact values of relevant quantities, but with “granules” that contain these values. We show that optimization under such granularity indeed leads to observed human behavior. In particular, for the first time, we explain the mysterious empirical dependence of betting odds on actual probabilities. This book can be recommended to all students interested in human decision-making, to researchers whose work involves human decisions, and to practitioners who design and employ systems involving human decision-making —so that they can better utilize our ability to make decisions under uncertainty.
