Under the constant supervision of the nuns she is subjected to continual punishment and humiliation. Gradually she learns the true and terrible purpose of their intentions, which are not for her benefit, but to ensure the survival of the convent. Olivia is driven to desperate measures, but the nuns are always one step ahead. Perhaps there is no escape from the dark terrors of the Dulcinites...ConventsFictionGenerated by AINunsFictionGenerated by AIConventsNuns823.914Allen Geoffrey1944-1436441BOOK9910162860103321Olivia and the Dulcinites3595181UNINA04095nam 22006495 450 991025466610332120200706175612.03-319-26899-610.1007/978-3-319-26899-6(CKB)3710000000636323(EBL)4497526(DE-He213)978-3-319-26899-6(MiAaPQ)EBC4497526(PPN)226699773(EXLCZ)99371000000063632320160405d2016 u| 0engur|n|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierOptimal Search for Moving Targets /by Lawrence D.

It then develops the theory of optimal search for a moving target, providing algorithms for computing optimal plans and examples of their use. Next it develops methods for computing optimal search plans involving multiple targets and multiple searchers with realistic operational constraints on search movement. These results assume that the target does not react to the search. In the final chapter there is a brief overview of mostly military problems where the target tries to avoid being found as well as rescue or rendezvous problems where the target and the searcher cooperate. Larry Stone wrote his definitive book Theory of Optimal Search in 1975, dealing almost exclusively with the stationary target search problem. Since then the theory has advanced to encompass search for targets that move even as the search proceeds, and computers have developed sufficient capability to employ the improved theory. In this book, Stone joins Royset and Washburn to document and explain this expanded theory of search. The problem of how to search for moving targets arises every day in military, rescue, law enforcement, and border patrol operations. .International Series in Operations Research & Management Science,0884-8289 ;237Operations researchDecision makingManagement scienceMarketing researchOperations Research/Decision Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/521000Operations Research, Management Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M26024Market Research/Competitive Intelligencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/513030Operations research.Decision making.Management science.Marketing research.Operations Research/Decision Theory.Operations Research, Management Science.Market Research/Competitive Intelligence.650 Stone Lawrence Dauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut59128Royset Johannes Oauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autWashburn Alan Rauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254666103321Optimal Search for Moving Targets1939172UNINA
