Abstract: This article introduces a decentralized state-dependent Markov chain synthesis (DSMC) algorithm for finite-state Markov chains. We present a state-dependent consensus protocol that achieves ...

A finite-state machine (FSM), finite-state automaton (FSA), or simply state machine is a mathematical model of computation and an abstract machine that can be in exactly one of a finite number of ...

ABSTRACT: A previous paper showed that the real numbers between 0 and 1 could be represented by an infinite tree structure, called the ‘infinity tree’, which contains only a countably infinite number ...

Can high levels of state capacity protect countries from slow growth and deepening output collapses? Using data for 108 developing countries, we classify five-year periods using a two- dimensional ...

In my previous article, I highlighted the importance of state machine thinking in creating robust and dependable systems. Now, let's delve deeper into the mathematical underpinnings of converting ...

America isn’t making electricity the way it did two decades ago. Natural gas surpassed coal as the country’s top source of power in 2016, and renewables like wind and solar have grown quickly to ...
