Sensitivity of computer support game algorithms of safe ship control

“…The function S 0 refers to the continuous function of the manoeuvring goal of the own ship, characterising the distance of the ship at the initial moment t 0 to the nearest turning point L k on the reference p r (t k ) voyage route (Isil-Bozma and Koditschek, 2001;Millington and Funge, 2009;Osborne, 2004). The optimal control of the own ship is calculated at each discrete stage of the ship's movement by applying the Simplex method to solve the problem of triple linear programming, assuming the relationship (7) to be the goal function along with the control constraints (5) (Błaszczyk et al, 2007;Luus, 2000;Mehrotra, 1992;Pantoja, 1998).…”

What's So Special? A Reinterpretation of Anglo-Saxon 'Special Deposits'

“…Pit 6, positioned next 52 to the W entrance of structure C13, appears to have been deliberately in-filled in one event, with the ABG placed within the top fill, lying on its right side, curled around the edge of the pit. The left lower back limb is missing, but this may be due to 53 disturbance, as it would have been the body part closest to the top of the pit. The excavators suggested that the whole feature seemed inconsistent with use as a rubbish pit and argued that the cow had been half butchered, but deposited before the butchery was finished, possibly for a 'ritual' function, although they do not expand the explanation further.…”
