Monte Carlo simulation techniques that use function approximations have been successfully applied to approximately price multi-dimensional American options. However, for many pric...
We present a new method for estimating the expected return of a POMDP from experience. The estimator does not assume any knowledge of the POMDP, can estimate the returns for finit...
We propose an analysis of numerical integration based on sampling theory, whereby the integration error caused by aliasing is suppressed by pre-filtering. We derive a pre-filter f...
We consider a variant of the two node tandem Jackson network where the upstream server reduces its service rate when the downstream queue exceeds some prespecified threshold. The...
