Simple stochastic games are two-player zero-sum stochastic games with turn-based moves, perfect information, and reachability winning conditions. We present two new algorithms computing the values of simple stochastic games. Both of them…

Many environments assign several Elo ratings to the same agent: a chess player has classical, rapid, and blitz ratings; an online platform may rate by time control, mode, or format; an evaluator may rate performance across tasks or roles.…

We construct an effective algorithmic method to compute the homological monodromy of a complex polynomial which is tame. As an application we show the existence of conjugated polynomials in a number field which are not topologically…
