Functional Approximations and Dynamic Programming [PDF]
Abstract : This paper indicates some ways in which the theory of approximation can be used to increase the range of present day computers. Although the primary interest is in applying these techniques to the functional equations occurring in the theory of dynamic programming.

Output‐feedback stochastic model predictive control of chance‐constrained nonlinear systems
This study covers the output‐feedback model predictive control (MPC) of nonlinear systems subjected to stochastic disturbances and state chance constraints. The stochastic optimal control problem is solved in a stochastic dynamic programming fashion, and

Volume-weighted Bellman error method for adaptive meshing in approximate dynamic programming
Optimal control and reinforcement learning have an associate “value function” which must be suitably approximated. Value function approximation problems usually have different precision requirements in different regions of the state space.

Link Scheduling for Wireless Mesh Networks Considering Gateway Feature [PDF]
Based on different objectives, a variety of mathematical models for the wireless mesh network (WMNs) exist. Among them, the link scheduling model for WMNs aims at finding a data transmission schedule based on network links so that some ...

Tuning approximate dynamic programming policies for ambulance redeployment via direct search
In this paper we consider approximate dynamic programming methods for ambulance redeployment. We first demonstrate through simple examples how typical value function fitting techniques, such as approximate policy iteration and linear programming, may not

A reinforcement learning approach to the stochastic cutting stock problem
We propose a formulation of the stochastic cutting stock problem as a discounted infinite-horizon Markov decision process. At each decision epoch, given current inventory of items, an agent chooses in which patterns to cut objects in stock in ...
