Policy evaluation is a critical step in the approximate solution of large Markov decision processes (MDPs), typically requiring O(|S|3 ) to directly solve the Bellman system of |S...
The problem of solving sparse Systems of Linear Algebraic Equations (SLAE) by parallel Monte Carlo numerical methods is considered. The almost optimal Monte Carlo algorithms are pr...
This paper could have been given the title: "How to positively and implicitly solve Euler equations using only linear scalar advections." The new relaxation method we pr...
The strategic safety stock placement problem is a constrained separable concave minimization problem and so is solvable, in principle, as a sequence of mixed-integer programming p...
