Non-Deterministic Policies in Markovian Decision Processes
Markovian processes have long been used to model stochastic environments. Reinforcement learning has emerged as a framework to solve sequential planning and decision-making proble...

Finite Element Approximation of the Linear Stochastic Wave Equation with Additive Noise
Semidiscrete finite element approximation of the linear stochastic wave equation with additive noise is studied in a semigroup framework. Optimal error estimates for the determinis...

Solving the Vehicle Routing Problem with Stochastic Demands using the Cross-Entropy Method
An alternate formulation of the classical vehicle routing problem with stochastic demands (VRPSD) is considered. We propose a new heuristic method to solve the problem. The algori...

Heuristic Selection for Stochastic Search Optimization: Modeling Solution Quality by Extreme Value Theory
The success of stochastic algorithms is often due to their ability to effectively amplify the performance of search heuristics. This is certainly the case with stochastic sampling ...

Global optimization of multiscenario mixed integer nonlinear programming models arising in the synthesis of integrated water net
The problem of optimal synthesis of an integrated water system is addressed in this work, where water using processes and water treatment operations are combined into a single net...
