Here are two new technical reports now available Max Benson Assistant Professor of Computer Science University of Minnesota-Duluth !ihnp4!umn-cs!umd-cs!max -or- max%umn-duluth.csnet ---------------------------------------------------------------------- %A Richard F. Green %T The Use of Information by Risk-Sensitive Foragers %R 86-11 %I University of Minnesota-Duluth %C Duluth, Minnesota %D November, 1986 %X Caraco and Gillespie have recently presented a model illustrating risk-sensitive foraging behavior and determined the expected number of prey that would be caught using two different strategies. This paper uses the same model but considers a improved foraging strategy which takes account of a spider's success at a site. %A Max Benson %A Stephen S.-T. Yau %T Equivalences between Isolated Hypersurface Singularities %R 87-1 %I University of Minnesota-Duluth %C Duluth, Minnesota %D January, 1987 %X This paper gives a complete account of the relationship between six different types of holomorphic equivalences arising from complex function theory and singularity theory. Conditions for when these equivalences coincide are given and a number of examples are given. The final section describes the design of the software that has been used to compute many of the examples.
