In this paper we develop a theoretical analysis of the performance of sampling-based fitted value iteration (FVI) to solve infinite state-space, discounted-reward Markovian decisi...
In this paper, we study the problem of utility maximization in P2P systems, in which aggregate application-specific utilities are maximized by running distributed algorithms on P2...
