Reinforcement learning for optimal control of stochastic nonlinear systems
Abstract A reinforcement learning (RL) approach is developed in this work for nonlinear systems under stochastic uncertainty. A stochastic control Lyapunov function (SCLF) candidate is first constructed using neural networks (NNs) as an approximator to the value function, and then a control policy designed using this SCLF is developed to ensure the ...

Extended Multivariate EGARCH Model: A Model for Zero‐Return and Negative Spillovers
ABSTRACT This paper introduces an extended multivariate EGARCH model that overcomes the zero‐return problem and allows for negative news and volatility spillover effects, making it an attractive tool for multivariate volatility modeling. Despite limitations, such as noninvertibility and unclear asymptotic properties of the QML estimator, our Monte ...

On the Terwilliger Algebra of the Group Association Scheme of the Symmetric Group Sym ( 7 )
ABSTRACT Terwilliger algebras are finite‐dimensional semisimple algebras that were first introduced by Paul Terwilliger in 1992 in studies of association schemes and distance‐regular graphs. The Terwilliger algebras of the conjugacy class association schemes of the symmetric groups Sym ( n ), for 3 ≤ n ≤ 6, have been studied and completely determined ...

Machine learning to detect schedules using spatiotemporal data of behavior: A proof of concept
Abstract Traditionally, the experimental analysis of behavior has relied on the single discrete response paradigm (e.g., key pecks, lever presses, screen clicks) to identify behavioral patterns. However, the development and availability of new technology allow researchers to move beyond this paradigm and use other features to detect schedules.

Eigenvalue Approach to Dense Clusters in Hypergraphs
ABSTRACT In this article, we investigate the problem of finding in a given weighted hypergraph a subhypergraph with the maximum possible density. Using the notion of a support matrix we prove that the density of an optimal subhypergraph is equal to ∥ A T A ∥ for an optimal support matrix A. Alternatively, the maximum density of a subhypergraph is equal
