The aim of this work is to present a representation model of games which will establish the characteristics of each game with complete rigour. This model is presented emphasizing applications of theory, as much or more than the theory itself due to thinking, on the one hand, that applications help understand theory, and on the other, that applications illustrate the process of model building. Thus, this model is intended to illustrate the full rigour games both in terms of information, and in terms of real time structure of the games

    A 2 h periodic variation in the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1

    No full text
    Spectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1 using the Gran Telescopio Canarias have revealed a ?2 h periodic variability that is present in the three strongest emission lines. We tentatively interpret this variability as due to orbital motion, making it the first indication of the orbital period of Ser X-1. Together with the fact that the emission lines are remarkably narrow, but still resolved, we show that a main-sequence K dwarf together with a canonical 1.4 M? neutron star gives a good description of the system. In this scenario, the most likely place for the emission lines to arise is the accretion disc, instead of a localized region in the binary (such as the irradiated surface or the stream-impact point), and their narrowness is due instead to the low inclination (?10°) of Ser X-1

    Schedule of thermal units with emissions in a spot electricity market

    No full text
    A bi-objective optimization approach is presented for solving the small generation companies short-term thermal unit schedule problem, considering the goodness of being schedule, but with emission concern. The startup and shutdown for each unit throughout the time horizon is derived from Pareto-optimal solutions, using a method merging dynamic programming and nonlinear programming to provide schedule of the units. A case study is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach
