Optimal Stopping of Linear Diffusions with Random Discounting
Abstract. We propose a new solution method for optimal stopping problems with random discounting for linear diffusions whose state space has a combination of natural, absorbing, or...

On Near Optimality of the Set of Finite-State Controllers for Average Cost POMDP
We consider the average cost problem for partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDP) with finite state, observation, and control spaces. We prove that there exists an -...

The Flow Set with Partial Order
The flow set with partial order is a mixed-integer set described by a budget on total flow and a partial order on the arcs that may carry positive flow. This set is a common substr...

Risk Tuning with Generalized Linear Regression
A framework is set up in which linear regression, as a way of approximating a random variable by other random variables, can be carried out in a variety of ways, which moreover ca...

Metastable Equilibria
We define a refinement of Nash equilibria called metastability. This refinement supposes that the given game might be embedded within any global game that leaves its local best-rep...

Efficient Routing in Heavy Traffic Under Partial Sampling of Service Times
We consider a queue with renewal arrivals and n exponential servers in the Halfin-Whitt heavy traffic regime, where n and the arrival rate increase without bound, so that a critic...
