Positivity-hardness results on Markov decision processes [PDF]

open access: yesTheoretiCS
This paper investigates a series of optimization problems for one-counter Markov decision processes (MDPs) and integer-weighted MDPs with finite state space.

Symbolic Magnifying Lens Abstraction in Markov Decision Processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In this paper, we combine abstraction-refinement and symbolic techniques to fight the state-space explosion problem when model checking Markov decision processes (MDPs).

Trace Refinement in Labelled Markov Decision Processes [PDF]

open access: yesLogical Methods in Computer Science, 2020
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.

Small sets and Markov transition densities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The theory of general state-space Markov chains can be strongly related to the case of discrete state-space by use of the notion of small sets and associated minorization conditions. The general theory shows that small sets exist for all Markov chains on

Asymptotic Expansions for Moments of Hitting Times for Nonlinearly Perturbed Semi-Markov Processes

open access: yes, 2017
In Chapter 3, we introduce a model of perturbed semi-Markov processes, formulate basic perturbation conditions, describe a one-step time-space screening procedure of phase space reduction for perturbed semi-Markov processes, introduce hitting times, and ...

Entropic Regularization of Markov Decision Processes

open access: yesEntropy, 2019
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

open access: yesThe Journal of Engineering, 2020
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

open access: yesMathematics, 2023
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 ...

Plasmonic Enhancement of Fluorescence and Protein Dynamics in Living Mammalian Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates plasmonic enhancement of the function of fluorescent voltage sensing proteins (genetically encoded voltage indicators, (GEVIs), QuasAr6) in live mammalian cells. Coupling to plasmonic nanoparticles does not just increase fluorescence, but influences the protein photocycle, creating a hybrid sensor with its response speed to ...

Inverse Design of Amorphous Materials With Targeted Properties

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
AMDEN is a diffusion model framework for the inverse design of amorphous materials with targeted properties. By incorporating Hamiltonian Monte Carlo refinement into the denoising process, the framework overcomes the challenge of generating thermally relaxed disordered structures.
