Computability and Constrained Equations in Free Semigroups (Ref: CO/JD-SF1/2026)

Given a finite set A, and an associative binary operation o, a semigroup is a set which contains A and is closed under o. If |A| n, the free semigroup A+ is a particular example of a semigroup. Read more

Delegation in Complex Conflicts

In the last decade, principal–agent theory has almost completely dominated theorizing on conflict delegation. Although not without criticism, it is fair to say that principal– agent theory has become the dominant framework through which we have come to study external support to non-state armed groups.
