Our framework quantitatively characterizes worst-case Ebola outbreaks resulting from an introduced Ebola case to a region with relatively effective control measures.
When even typical scenarios are poorly characterized, it is usually impractical to characterize worst cases, which is required by the min-max strategy.
That's one reason for the amiable, complacent mode that frequently characterizes the worst of independent films.
To avoid Systemic Regime b, which characterizes
In the Times, Michael Kimmelman wrote, "Just when it looked as if the '80s were finally over, Jeff Koons has provided one last, pathetic gasp of the sort of self-promoting hype and sensationalism that characterized the worst of the decade".
Performances and lifetime of the system are characterized by worst components also because of high costs of spare parts.
By characterizing the worst-case measure for a related stochastic minimax game, it is shown that the worst-case uncertain system can be represented in the form of a parametric perturbation of the nominal system.
We characterize the worst-case demand distribution under general concave objective functions, and apply it to derive tight lower bounds for the performance of chaining structures under the balanced systems (systems with the same number of plants and products).
In this paper, we define the problem of automatically synthesizing the required plans to execute an agent planning program, propose a solution technique based on model checking of two-player game structures, and use it to characterize the worst-case computational complexity of the problem as EXPTIME-complete.
Note that the triangle inequality assumption is never used explicitly by the algorithm, but only to characterize its worst-case progress the algorithm is correct regardless.
But she characterizes as "the worst thing that ever happened to this country," the separation of children from adults.
