Stability estimation of some Markov controlled processes
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.

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

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