We present new algorithms for local planning over Markov decision processes. The base-level algorithm possesses several interesting features for control of computation, based on s...
— This paper addresses model reduction for a Markov chain on a large state space. A simulation-based framework is introduced to perform state aggregation of the Markov chain base...
Abstract. We analyze the convergence properties of our force based genetic algorithm(fga) as a decentralized topology control mechanism distributed among software agents. fga guide...

Selecting conveniently the proposal kernel and the adjustment multiplier weights of the auxiliary particle filter may increase significantly the accuracy and computational efficie...
We consider discrete stochastic optimization problems where the objective function can only be estimated by a simulation oracle; the oracle is defined only at the discrete points....
