Simultaneous (Nash) and sequential (Stackelberg) equilibria of two-player dynamic quadratic cheap talk and signaling game problems are investigated under a perfect Bayesian formulation. For the dynamic scalar and multidimensional cheap talk, the Nash equilibrium cannot be fully revealing whereas the Stackelberg equilibrium is always fully revealing. Further, the final state Nash equilibria have to be essentially quantized when the source is scalar and has a density, and non-revealing for the multi-dimensional case. In the dynamic signaling game where the transmission of a Gauss-Markov source over a memoryless Gaussian channel is considered, affine policies constitute an invariant subspace under best response maps for both scalar and multi-dimensional sources under Nash equilibria; however, the Stackelberg equilibrium policies are always linear for scalar sources but may be non-linear for multi-dimensional sources. Further, under the Stackelberg setup, the conditions under which the equilibrium is non-informative are derived for scalar sources.

Stability analysis of recurrent neural networks with piecewise constant argument of generalized type
Akhmet, Marat; Yılmaz, Elanur (2010-09-01)
In this paper, we apply the method of Lyapunov functions for differential equations with piecewise constant argument of generalized type to a model of recurrent neural networks (RNNs). The model involves both advanced and delayed arguments. Sufficient conditions are obtained for global exponential stability of the equilibrium point. Examples with numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the results.
Dynamic programming for a Markov-switching jump-diffusion
Azevedo, N.; Pinheiro, D.; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (Elsevier BV, 2014-09-01)
We consider an optimal control problem with a deterministic finite horizon and state variable dynamics given by a Markov-switching jump-diffusion stochastic differential equation. Our main results extend the dynamic programming technique to this larger family of stochastic optimal control problems. More specifically, we provide a detailed proof of Bellman's optimality principle (or dynamic programming principle) and obtain the corresponding Hamilton-Jacobi-Belman equation, which turns out to be a partial in...
Stability analysis of constraints in flexible multibody systems dynamics
İder, Sıtkı Kemal (Elsevier BV, 1990-1)
Automated algorithms for the dynamic analysis and simulation of constrained multibody systems assume that the constraint equations are linearly independent. During the motion, when the system is at a singular configuration, the constraint Jacobian matrix possesses less than full rank and hence it results in singularities. This occurs when the direction of a constraint coincides with the direction of the lost degree of freedom. In this paper the constraint equations for deformable bodies are modified for use...
Unpredictable Oscillations for Hopfield-Type Neural Networks with Delayed and Advanced Arguments
Akhmet, Marat; Tleubergenova, Madina; Nugayeva, Zakhira (2021-03-01)
This is the first time that the method for the investigation of unpredictable solutions of differential equations has been extended to unpredictable oscillations of neural networks with a generalized piecewise constant argument, which is delayed and advanced. The existence and exponential stability of the unique unpredictable oscillation are proven. According to the theory, the presence of unpredictable oscillations is strong evidence for Poincare chaos. Consequently, the paper is a contribution to chaos ap...
Matrix measure approach to Lyapunov-type inequalities for linear Hamiltonian systems with impulse effect
Kayar, Zeynep; Zafer, Ağacık (Elsevier BV, 2016-08-01)
We present new Lyapunov-type inequalities for Hamiltonian systems, consisting of 2n-first-order linear impulsive differential equations, by making use of matrix measure approach. The matrix measure estimates of fundamental matrices of linear impulsive systems are crucial in obtaining sharp inequalities. To illustrate usefulness of the inequalities we have derived new disconjugacy criteria for Hamiltonian systems under impulse effect and obtained new lower bound estimates for eigenvalues of impulsive eigenva...
