    Game Theory ( 2 player zero-sum game)

    if i let Suppose a two-player zero-sum game has the following matrix: A1 = a b c d then calculate e2TA1e1 = c Then if I let A2 = a+k b+k c+k d+k then e2TA2e1 = c+k but I have no idea if this is right or what to do next

    Game Theory ( 2 player zero-sum game)

    Hi I have just started a game theory module and have been given the following exercise. Can anyone help me with the following question. I have a feeling I can use a minimax argument to answer this but I am not sure how to go about this. Suppose a two-player zero-sum game has the following...

    Probability: Determining the distribution and range of a random variable

    Homework Statement The RV X has parameter p>0 and distribution: fX(x) = pxe-px for x \geq 0 and is 0 otherwise (The subscript X is a capital letter, as is the X mentioned below in the e4X) If we are to consider the RV D= e4X, determine the range and distribution fD(d) Homework...

    Newton-Raphson & Bisection Methods to Find x2- 2 Root

    Homework Statement Using the Newton raphson method with x0=6, find the root of x2- 2 to 3dp. Then estimate the number of iterations the bisection method that would be required to achieve the same accuracy. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I have done the first...

    Binary numbers- how to normalize?

    ok I'm not entirely sure either if I'm honest but let me try and explain using an example: If i find that the binary form of x= 2/7 to be: 0.0101001001... which when normalised becomes: (1.001001001...)x 2^-2 its the last line, that i do not know how to derive

    Binary numbers- how to normalize?

    Homework Statement Find the binary form of x= 7/10 Suppose that the number x= 7/10 is to be stored in a 32-bit computer, find the nearby machine numbers x_ and x+ Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I have found that 7/10 in binary form is: 0.101100110011001100...

    D'Alembert Ratio Test: Convergence test

    Hi this is just a general question about using the ratio test for convergence. If I have to carry out the test to find out if something converges (and I don't need to find out if its absolutely converges, but just convergence), then can my answer to the test be negative? Or does the...

    Newton Raphson Method for Finding Roots: Bessel's Function J0(x) near x=5

    Homework Statement Bessel's funtion J0(x) is assumed to have a root near x=5. Use the Newton raphson method to find this root to 3 decimal places by taking the first 4 terms of the series. I have found this link which helps me solve the question: http://www.vibrationdata.com/Newrap.pdf...
