Online scheduling of multiprocessor jobs with preemption
Šimsa, Štěpán ; Sgall, Jiří (advisor) ; Kolman, Petr (referee)
Abstract. The thesis is devoted to the problem of online preemptive scheduling of mul- tiprocessor jobs. It gives a summary of previous work on this problem. For some special variants of the problem, especially if we restrict the sizes of jobs to one and two, new results are given, both in the terms of lower bounds and in the terms of competitive al- gorithms. A previously published lower bound is showed to be computed incorrectly and it is replaced by a correct lower bound in this thesis. An algorithm is presented for the special case of four processors and sizes of jobs one and two that is conjectured to achieve the best possible competitive ratio.
Computational Problems Related to Graph Structures in Evolution

In this work we study certain stochastic game that illustrates the concept of punishment and that shows how punishment can improve cooperation. First we introduce the basics of game theory, Markov chains and stochastic games. Then we explain how evolutionary dynamics can be used to evaluate the expected amount of cooperation in a game. Finally we run simulations and do some numerical computations that show how punishment can improve cooperation. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
