Explain the relationship between the surface area to volume ratio and the rate of diffusion. How does this relationship affect the efficiency of nutrient exchange in cells?
Explain the relationship between the surface area to volume ratio and the rate of diffusion. How does this relationship affect the efficiency of nutrient exchange in cells?
A greater surface area to volume ratio allows for faster diffusion rates. A high ratio enhances nutrient exchange by providing more membrane surface area for diffusion relative to the cell's volume.

How does the presence of cholesterol within the phospholipid bilayer contribute to the structural integrity and fluidity of the cell membrane?
Cholesterol maintains membrane integrity by preventing it from becoming too rigid at low temperatures and too fluid at high temperatures.

Study Notes
Fourier Transform Properties
- Linearity in Fourier Transforms is expressed as: $F[af(t) + bg(t)] = aF(f(t)) + bF(g(t)) = aF(\omega) + bG(\omega)$.
- A time shift in the time domain corresponds to a phase shift in the frequency domain: $F[f(t - t_0)] = e^{-j\omega t_0}F(\omega)$.
- Frequency shifting shows modulation in the time domain corresponds to a shift in the frequency domain: $F[e^{j\omega_0 t}f(t)] = F(\omega - \omega_0)$.
- Scaling property illustrates as $F[f(at)] = \frac{1}{|a|}F(\frac{\omega}{a})$.
- Time Differentiation property in frequency domain: $F[\frac{df(t)}{dt}] = j\omega F(\omega)$.
- Higher order as Time Differentiation generalises to $F[\frac{d^n f(t)}{dt^n}] = (j\omega)^n F(\omega)$.
- Time integration: $F[\int_{-\infty}^{t} f(\tau)d\tau] = \frac{1}{j\omega}F(\omega) + \pi F(0)\delta(\omega)$.
- Multiplication in the time domain corresponds to convolution in the frequency domain: $F[f(t)g(t)] = \frac{1}{2\pi}F(\omega)*G(\omega)$.
- Convolution in the time domain corresponds to multiplication in the frequency domain: $F[f(t)*g(t)] = F(\omega)G(\omega)$.
- Duality states that if $f(t) \leftrightarrow F(\omega)$, then $F(t) \leftrightarrow 2\pi f(-\omega)$.

Algorithmic Game Theory
- Game theory is a mathematical framework for analyzing strategic interactions between individuals or entities.
- The outcome of one's choices depends on the choices of others.
- It provides tools and concepts to model and predict behavior in competitive situations.
Key Concepts
- Players are the decision-makers involved in the game.
- Strategies are the possible actions or plans available to each player.
- Payoffs are the outcomes or rewards that players receive based on the combination of strategies chosen.
- Rationality is the assumption that players act in their own best interest to maximize their payoffs.
Types of Games
- Cooperative vs. Non-cooperative define if players can form binding agreements.
- Zero-sum vs. Non-zero-sum define if one player's gain is another player's loss.
- Complete vs. Incomplete Information define players knowledge of the game's structure and payoffs.
- Simultaneous vs. Sequential define if players make decisions simultaneously or in a specific order.
What is Algorithmic Game Theory?
- Algorithmic Game Theory (AGT) combines game theory and computer science to address computational issues in strategic settings.
- It focuses on designing efficient algorithms and mechanisms for games and analyzing their computational complexity.
Key Aspects
- Mechanism Design involves designing rules and incentives to achieve desired outcomes in strategic environments.
- Computational Complexity involves analyzing the computational resources required to find optimal strategies or outcomes.
- Approximation Algorithms means developing algorithms that provide near-optimal solutions when finding exact solutions is computationally hard.
- Equilibrium Computation involves finding stable states in games where no player has an incentive to deviate.
Selfish Routing
- Selfish routing is a classic example in algorithmic game theory.
- Multiple players (e.g., drivers) choose routes in a network to minimize their individual travel time.
- Each player acts selfishly, without considering the impact of their choices on others.
Braess's Paradox
- Adding a new road to a network can actually increase the travel time for all players.
- The new road can change the equilibrium routing pattern, leading to a less efficient outcome.
Price of Anarchy
- The price of anarchy (PoA) is a measure of the inefficiency caused by selfish behavior in a system.
- It compares the total cost of the worst-case Nash equilibrium to the total cost of the optimal (socially efficient) outcome.
- Formula: $$ PoA = \frac{\text{Total cost of the worst-case Nash equilibrium}}{\text{Total cost of the optimal outcome}} $$
- A high PoA indicates that selfish behavior leads to significant degradation in overall system performance.
Example: Pigou's Network
- A network containing two parallel links connecting a starting node to a destination node.
- $c_1(x) = 1$
- $c_2(x) = x$
- Total cost function calculation as:
- $C(x) = x \cdot c_1(x) + x \cdot c_2(x) = x \cdot 1 + x \cdot x = x + x^2$
- PoA in Pigou's network as: $$ PoA = \frac{1}{0.75} = 1.33 $$

Lecture 24: The Poisson Process
- A way of event occruing on random time.
- Example includes customer arriving and emitting particle.
Definition of prossion.
- This mean the number of evens in the intervl are $P(N(s+t) - N(s) = n) = e^{-\lambda t} \frac{(\lambda t)^n}{n!}, \quad n = 0, 1, 2, \dots$.

Example
- Example is $\lambda = 10$ customers per hour. What is the probability that exactly 5 customers arrive in the first hour? What is the probability that at least 2 customers arrive in the first hour? What is the probability that no customers arrive in the first 10 minutes?
- The probability that exactly 5 customers is $P(N(1) = 5) = e^{-10} \frac{10^5}{5!} \approx 0.0378.$ The probability that at least 2 customers is $ P(N(1) \geq 2) = 1 - P(N(1) = 0) - P(N(1) = 1) = 1 - e^{-10} - 10e^{-10} \approx 0.9995$.
