[SUBMARINE, Anti-, Warfare] Balinski, Michel, et al. Final Report. A Study of Optimal Patrol and Transit Strategies in a Rectangular Barrier Zone Using Mathematical Games. Written and produced by Mathematica, prepared for the Office of Naval Research, 1967. 77pp. 11" x 8.5", offsety printed. Plastic covers, with clear plastic front cover. VG condition. __+__ "The strategies available to a patrol sub seeking to maximize the probability of detecting a transistor in a rectangular zone are analyzed." (Keywords identified: Bowtie Patrols, Matrix Games, Stationary Patrols, Optimal Straight Line transits.) WorldCat OCLC locates only one copy.__+__ "Three classes of models are treated (1) fixed shape patrol patterns (e.g., Bow Tie with crossover angle to be optimized), (2) linear patrols with delays at a finite number of stations, optimization being over the delay time distribution, and (3) linear patrols with optimization over speed. In all the games analyzed, transitor strategies were also optimal for a suitably restricted class of transit lanes and speeds. The problem of securing first detection is considered where appropriate. The payoff function for most of the games is probability of detecting the transitor during the time interval necessary for a complete transit through the zone. Fixed radius of detection is assumed in the first two classes of model; dependence on speeds of both subs is assumed in the third. All three sets of assumptions point to the strategic merit lf linear patrols which have at least two widely differing speeds: in geometric terms the patrol pattern should be a sequence of localized delay patterns joined by high-speed straight-line segments."-_WorldCat Identities.…

Store description
We have been in business since 1985--including a store in Georgetown, D.C. from 1985-2002--specializing in significant and hard-to-find works in modern (say, after 1850) physics, math, astronomy, and technology, and other bits and bobs. Shipping notice for overseas parcels: customs, VAT, and all other shipping fees and add-ons are the responsibility of the buyer.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to JF Ptak Science Books, Hendersonville, North Carolina, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
