In this paper a second degree iterative Monte Carlo method for solving systems of linear algebraic equations and matrix inversion is presented. Comparisons are made with iterative Monte Carlo methods with degree one. It is shown that the mean value of the number of chains N, and the chain length...

The motion planning problem consists in deriving some input steering a dynamical system to a fixed point of the state space. This problem appears to be relevant to the study of mechanical system and robotics when the system is nonholonomic.

This contribution deals with the fundamental critique in Dinar et al. (1992, Theory and Decision 32) on the use of Game theory in water management: People are reluctant to monetary transfers unrelated to water prices and game theoretic solutions impose a computational burden. For the bilateral...
