ABSTRACT This paper presents the first end‐to‐end framework that combines guidance, navigation, and centralized task allocation for multiple UAVs performing autonomous search‐and‐rescue (SAR) in GNSS‐denied indoor environments. A twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradient controller is trained with an artificial potential field (APF) reward that ...

In silico modelling of CD8 T cell immune response links genetic regulation to population dynamics
The CD8 T cell immune response operates at multiple temporal and spatial scales, including all the early complex biochemical and biomechanical processes, up to long term cell population behavior.In order to model this response, we devised a multiscale ...

When in Doubt, Tax More Progressively? Uncertainty and Progressive Income Taxation
ABSTRACT We study the optimal income tax problem under parameter uncertainty about household preferences and wage dynamics. We derive conditions characterizing how such uncertainty affects optimal tax policy. To quantify the effect, we estimate a life‐cycle model using US data and a Bayesian approach.

Measure‐valued processes for energy markets
Abstract We introduce a framework that allows to employ (non‐negative) measure‐valued processes for energy market modeling, in particular for electricity and gas futures. Interpreting the process' spatial structure as time to maturity, we show how the Heath–Jarrow–Morton approach can be translated to this framework, thus guaranteeing arbitrage free ...

Numerical method for optimal stopping of piecewise deterministic Markov Processes
In this talk, the optimal stopping problem of piecewise-deterministic Markov processes is studied. Such processes consist of a mixture of deterministic motion and random jumps.

Piecewise deterministic Markov processes for continuous-time Monte Carlo [PDF]
\ua9 2018, Institute of Mathematical Statistics.Recently, there have been conceptually new developments in Monte Carlo methods through the introduction of new MCMC and sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) algorithms which are based on continuous-time, rather ...

Reinforcement Learning for Jump‐Diffusions, With Financial Applications
ABSTRACT We study continuous‐time reinforcement learning (RL) for stochastic control in which system dynamics are governed by jump‐diffusion processes. We formulate an entropy‐regularized exploratory control problem with stochastic policies to capture the exploration–exploitation balance essential for RL.

ABSTRACT This study develops a novel multivariate stochastic framework for assessing systemic risks, such as climate and nature‐related shocks, within production or financial networks. By embedding a linear stochastic fluid network, interpretable as a generalized vector Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process, into the production network of interdependent ...

Bayesian Inference for Multivariate Monotone Densities
ABSTRACT We consider a nonparametric Bayesian approach to estimation and testing for a multivariate monotone density. Instead of following the conventional Bayesian approach of imposing a prior that satisfies the monotonicity restriction, we place a prior on the step heights via binning and a Dirichlet distribution. The resulting posterior distribution
