Epistemic Horizon Minority Games: When Abundance Reduces Strategic Value
Faruk Alpay, Levent Sarioglu
Strategic value can fall when an option becomes visible. A route, signal, bet, or opportunity may be attractive because few agents see it; public attention can erase the advantage…
Service-Cut Certificates for Aligned Eviction in Tiered Cache Networks
Faruk Alpay, Levent Sarioglu
In a tiered cache, eviction is a graph decision: removing one aligned storage block can disconnect downstream demand that never addressed that block directly, so request recency al…
Auditing Combinatorial Randomness from Finite Transcripts
Faruk Alpay, Levent Sarioglu
Public randomness is a security primitive whose deployed behavior is often observable only through a finite transcript. We study black-box auditing of -subset draws from lab…
Guarded Epoch Bloom Filters for Sliding-Window Membership
Faruk Alpay, Levent Sarioglu
Approximate membership queries in streams often need recent-window semantics rather than membership over all items ever seen. This paper studies guarded epoch Bloom filters, a slid…
Renderable Partial Representations for Dynamic Gaussian Splatting under Incomplete Delivery
Faruk Alpay, Levent Sarioglu, Yaser Hadri
Dynamic Gaussian compression is normally optimized for complete files or complete progressive prefixes, but interactive rendering encounters partial representations: some spatiotem…
Comparison Patrols on Drifting Orders: Certified Rank Maintenance, Evolving Planar Maxima, and Selection under Drifting Fitness
Faruk Alpay, Levent Sarioglu
Rank-based selection in dynamic environments acts on order information that becomes stale while it is being used. Tournaments, elitism, truncation, and Pareto selection may therefo…
