A Continuous-Time Semi-Markov System Governed by Stepwise Transitions
In this paper, we introduce a class of stochastic processes in continuous time, called step semi-Markov processes. The main idea comes from bringing an additional insight to a classical semi-Markov process: the transition between two states is ...

New remarks on the Kolmogorov entropy of certain coarse-grained deterministic systems
Unless an appropriate dissipation mechanism is introduced in its evolution, a deterministic system generally does not tend to equilibrium. However, coarse-graining such a system implies a mesoscopic representation which is no longer deterministic.

Spatio-temporal Markov chain model for very-short-term wind power forecasting
Wind power forecasting (WPF) is crucial in helping schedule and trade wind power generation at various spatial and temporal scales. With increasing number of wind farms over a region, research focus of WPF methods has been recently moved onto exploring ...

Entropic Regularization of Markov Decision Processes
An optimal feedback controller for a given Markov decision process (MDP) can in principle be synthesized by value or policy iteration. However, if the system dynamics and the reward function are unknown, a learning agent must discover an optimal ...

Overall computing offloading strategy based on deep reinforcement learning in vehicle fog computing
In order to solve the problem of network congestion caused by a large number of data requests generated by intelligent vehicles in LTE-V network, a brand-new fog server with fog computing function is deployed on both the cellular base stations and ...

On a New Characterization of Harris Recurrence for Markov Chains and Processes
This paper shows that Harris recurrent Markov chains and processes can be characterized as the class of Markov chains and processes for which there exists a random time T at which the distribution of the chain or process does not depend on its initial ...

Trace Refinement in Labelled Markov Decision Processes [PDF]
Given two labelled Markov decision processes (MDPs), the trace-refinement problem asks whether for all strategies of the first MDP there exists a strategy of the second MDP such that the induced labelled Markov chains are trace-equivalent.

Screening for lung cancer: A systematic review of overdiagnosis and its implications
Low‐dose computed tomography (CT) screening for lung cancer may increase overdiagnosis compared to no screening, though the risk is likely low versus chest X‐ray. Our review of 8 trials (84 660 participants) shows added costs. Further research with strict adherence to modern nodule management strategies may help determine the extent to which ...
