Stability estimation of some Markov controlled processes

open access: yesOpen Mathematics, 2022
We consider a discrete-time Markov controlled process endowed with the expected total discounted reward. We assume that the distribution of the underlying random vectors is unknown and that it is approximated by an appropriate known distribution.

Markov decision processes approximation with coupled dynamics via Markov deterministic control systems

open access: yesOpen Mathematics, 2023
This article presents an approximation of discrete Markov decision processes with small noise on Borel spaces with an infinite horizon and an expected total discounted cost by the corresponding deterministic Markov process.

Quickest Online Selection of an Increasing Subsequence of Specified Size [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Given a sequence of independent random variables with a common continuous distribution, we consider the online decision problem where one seeks to minimize the expected value of the time that is needed to complete the selection of a monotone increasing ...

Renewal characterization of Markov modulated Poisson processes

open access: yesInternational Journal of Stochastic Analysis, Volume 2, Issue 1, Page 53-70, 1989., 1989
A Markov Modulated Poisson Process (MMPP) M(t) defined on a Markov chain J(t) is a pure jump process where jumps of M(t) occur according to a Poisson process with intensity λi whenever the Markov chain J(t) is in state i. M(t) is called strongly renewal (SR) if M(t) is a renewal process for an arbitrary initial probability vector of J(t) with full ...

Optimal Online Selection of a Monotone Subsequence: a Central Limit Theorem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Consider a sequence of $n$ independent random variables with a common continuous distribution $F$, and consider the task of choosing an increasing subsequence where the observations are revealed sequentially and where an observation must be accepted or ...

Controllability Metrics on Networks with Linear Decision Process-type Interactions and Multiplicative Noise [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
This paper aims at the study of controllability properties and induced controllability metrics on complex networks governed by a class of (discrete time) linear decision processes with mul-tiplicative noise.

Continuous-time Markov decision processes under the risk-sensitive average cost criterion

open access: yes, 2015
This paper studies continuous-time Markov decision processes under the risk-sensitive average cost criterion. The state space is a finite set, the action space is a Borel space, the cost and transition rates are bounded, and the risk-sensitivity ...

On time-inhomogeneous controlled diffusion processes in domains

open access: yes, 2007
Time-inhomogeneous controlled diffusion processes in both cylindrical and noncylindrical domains are considered. Bellman's principle and its applications to proving the continuity of value functions are investigated.Comment: Published at http://dx.doi ...
