Abstract. Persistent Topology studies topological features of shapes by analyzing the lower level sets of suitable functions, called filtering functions, and encoding the arising i...
In this paper we prove that the degree elevation of B-spline curves can be interpreted as corner cutting process in theory. We also discover the geometric meaning of the auxiliary...
Reinforcement Learning (RL) is the study of programs that improve their performance by receiving rewards and punishments from the environment. Most RL methods optimize the discoun...
We study a class of generalized bundle methods for which the stabilizing term can be any closed convex function satisfying certain properties. This setting covers several algorithm...
We propose a new approach to value function approximation which combines linear temporal difference reinforcement learning with subspace identification. In practical applications...
