We consider risk-averse learning in repeated unknown games where the goal of the agents is to minimize their individual risk of incurring significantly high cost. Specifically, the agents use the conditional value at risk (CVaR) as a risk measure and rely on bandit feedback in the form of the cost values of the selected actions at every episode to estimate their CVaR values and update their actions. A major challenge in using bandit feedback to estimate CVaR is that the agents can only access their own cost values, which, however, depend on the actions of all agents. To address this challenge, we propose a new risk-averse learning algorithm with momentum that utilizes the full historical information on the cost values. We show that this algorithm achieves sub-linear regret and matches the best known algorithms in the literature. We provide numerical experiments for a Cournot game that show that our method outperforms existing methods.

A physics-based model that predicts the emitted current from thermionic cathodes is developed, which accurately spans from the temperature-limited (TL) to full-space-charge-limited (FSCL) regions. Experimental observations of thermionic electron emission demonstrate a smooth transition between TL and FSCL regions of the emitted-current-density-versus-temperature (J-T) (Miram) curve and the emitted-current-density-versus-voltage (J-V) curve. Knowledge of the temperature and shape of the TL-FSCL transition is important in evaluating the thermionic electron-emission performance of cathodes, including predicting the lifetime. However, there are no first-principles physics-based models that predict the smooth TL-FSCL transition region for real thermionic cathodes without applying a priori assumptions or empirical phenomenological equations that are physically difficult to justify. Previous work detailing the nonuniform thermionic emission found that the effects of three-dimensional space charge, patch fields (electrostatic potential nonuniformity on the cathode surface based on local work-function values), and Schottky barrier lowering can lead to a smooth TL-FSCL transition region from a model thermionic cathode surface with a checkerboard spatial distribution of work-function values. In this work, we construct a physics-based nonuniform emission model for commercial dispenser cathodes. This emission model is obtained by incorporating the cathode surface grain orientation via electron-backscatter diffraction and the facet-orientation-specific work-function values from density-functional-theory calculations. The model enables the construction of two-dimensional emitted-current-density maps of the cathode surface and corresponding J-T and J-V curves. The predicted emission curves show excellent agreement with experiment, not only in the TL and FSCL regions but, crucially, also in the TL-FSCL transition region. This model provides a method to predict the thermionic emissio
