Optimal Intervention in Semi-Markov-Based Asynchronous Probabilistic Boolean Networks
Complexity, 2018 Synchronous probabilistic Boolean networks (PBNs) and generalized asynchronous PBNs have received significant attention over the past decade as a tool for modeling complex genetic regulatory networks.

SEMI-MARKOV DECISION PROCESSES WITH COUNTABLE STATE SPACE AND COMPACT ACTION SPACE [PDF]
Bulletin of Mathematical Statistics, 1978 We shall be concerned with the optimization problem of semi-Markov decision processes with countable state space and compact action space. Defined is the generalized reward function associated with the semi-Markov decision processes which include the ordinary discounted Markov decision processes of discrete time parameter and also the continuous time ...

Learning to maximize reward rate: a model based on semi-Markov decision processes
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2014 When animals have to make a number of decisions during a limited time interval, they face a fundamental problem: how much time they should spend on each decision in order to achieve the maximum possible total outcome.

Linear Distances between Markov Chains [PDF]
, 2016 We introduce a general class of distances (metrics) between Markov chains, which are based on linear behaviour. This class encompasses distances given topologically (such as the total variation distance or trace distance) as well as by temporal logics or

SEMI-MARKOV DECISION PROCESSES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS IN REPLACEMENT MODELS
Journal of the Operations Research Society of Japan, 1985 We consider the problem of minimizing the long-run average expected cost per unit time in a semi-Markov decision process with arbitrary state and action space. Using the idea of successive approximations, sufficient conditions for the existence of an optimal stationary policy are given.

An Optimal Query Assignment for Wireless Sensor Networks [PDF]
, 2014 A trade-off between two QoS requirements of wireless sensor networks: query waiting time and validity (age) of the data feeding the queries, is investigated.

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract When deploying mobile robots in real‐world scenarios, such as airports, train stations, hospitals, and schools, collisions with pedestrians are intolerable and catastrophic. Motion safety becomes one of the most fundamental requirements for mobile robots.

Shape-constrained Estimation of Value Functions [PDF]
, 2013 We present a fully nonparametric method to estimate the value function, via simulation, in the context of expected infinite-horizon discounted rewards for Markov chains.
