Book Synopsis Discrete–Time Stochastic Control and Dynamic Potential Games by : David González-Sánchez
Download or read book Discrete–Time Stochastic Control and Dynamic Potential Games written by David González-Sánchez and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-09-20 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are several techniques to study noncooperative dynamic games, such as dynamic programming and the maximum principle (also called the Lagrange method). It turns out, however, that one way to characterize dynamic potential games requires to analyze inverse optimal control problems, and it is here where the Euler equation approach comes in because it is particularly well–suited to solve inverse problems. Despite the importance of dynamic potential games, there is no systematic study about them. This monograph is the first attempt to provide a systematic, self–contained presentation of stochastic dynamic potential games.

Book Synopsis Stochastic Control in Discrete and Continuous Time by : Atle Seierstad
Download or read book Stochastic Control in Discrete and Continuous Time written by Atle Seierstad and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-07-03 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains an introduction to three topics in stochastic control: discrete time stochastic control, i. e. , stochastic dynamic programming (Chapter 1), piecewise - terministic control problems (Chapter 3), and control of Ito diffusions (Chapter 4). The chapters include treatments of optimal stopping problems. An Appendix - calls material from elementary probability theory and gives heuristic explanations of certain more advanced tools in probability theory. The book will hopefully be of interest to students in several ?elds: economics, engineering, operations research, ?nance, business, mathematics. In economics and business administration, graduate students should readily be able to read it, and the mathematical level can be suitable for advanced undergraduates in mathem- ics and science. The prerequisites for reading the book are only a calculus course and a course in elementary probability. (Certain technical comments may demand a slightly better background. ) As this book perhaps (and hopefully) will be read by readers with widely diff- ing backgrounds, some general advice may be useful: Don’t be put off if paragraphs, comments, or remarks contain material of a seemingly more technical nature that you don’t understand. Just skip such material and continue reading, it will surely not be needed in order to understand the main ideas and results. The presentation avoids the use of measure theory.
Book Synopsis Potential Game Theory by : Quang Duy Lã
Download or read book Potential Game Theory written by Quang Duy Lã and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-26 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a thorough examination of potential game theory and its applications in radio resource management for wireless communications systems and networking. The book addresses two major research goals: how to identify a given game as a potential game, and how to design the utility functions and the potential functions with certain special properties in order to formulate a potential game. After proposing a unifying mathematical framework for the identification of potential games, the text surveys existing applications of this technique within wireless communications and networking problems found in OFDMA 3G/4G/WiFi networks, as well as next-generation systems such as cognitive radios and dynamic spectrum access networks. Professionals interested in understanding the theoretical aspect of this specialized field will find Potential Game Theory a valuable resource, as will advanced-level engineering students. It paves the way for extensive and rigorous research exploration on a topic whose capacity for practical applications is vast but not yet fully exploited.

Book Synopsis Finite Approximations in Discrete-Time Stochastic Control by : Naci Saldi
Download or read book Finite Approximations in Discrete-Time Stochastic Control written by Naci Saldi and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2018-05-11 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a unified form, this monograph presents fundamental results on the approximation of centralized and decentralized stochastic control problems, with uncountable state, measurement, and action spaces. It demonstrates how quantization provides a system-independent and constructive method for the reduction of a system with Borel spaces to one with finite state, measurement, and action spaces. In addition to this constructive view, the book considers both the information transmission approach for discretization of actions, and the computational approach for discretization of states and actions. Part I of the text discusses Markov decision processes and their finite-state or finite-action approximations, while Part II builds from there to finite approximations in decentralized stochastic control problems. This volume is perfect for researchers and graduate students interested in stochastic controls. With the tools presented, readers will be able to establish the convergence of approximation models to original models and the methods are general enough that researchers can build corresponding approximation results, typically with no additional assumptions.
Book Synopsis Optimization of Stochastic Discrete Systems and Control on Complex Networks by : Dmitrii Lozovanu
Download or read book Optimization of Stochastic Discrete Systems and Control on Complex Networks written by Dmitrii Lozovanu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-27 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the latest findings on stochastic dynamic programming models and on solving optimal control problems in networks. It includes the authors’ new findings on determining the optimal solution of discrete optimal control problems in networks and on solving game variants of Markov decision problems in the context of computational networks. First, the book studies the finite state space of Markov processes and reviews the existing methods and algorithms for determining the main characteristics in Markov chains, before proposing new approaches based on dynamic programming and combinatorial methods. Chapter two is dedicated to infinite horizon stochastic discrete optimal control models and Markov decision problems with average and expected total discounted optimization criteria, while Chapter three develops a special game-theoretical approach to Markov decision processes and stochastic discrete optimal control problems. In closing, the book’s final chapter is devoted to finite horizon stochastic control problems and Markov decision processes. The algorithms developed represent a valuable contribution to the important field of computational network theory.

Book Synopsis Stochastic H2/H ∞ Control: A Nash Game Approach by : Weihai Zhang
Download or read book Stochastic H2/H ∞ Control: A Nash Game Approach written by Weihai Zhang and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-08-07 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The H∞ control has been one of the important robust control approaches since the 1980s. This book extends the area to nonlinear stochastic H2/H∞ control, and studies more complex and practically useful mixed H2/H∞ controller synthesis rather than the pure H∞ control. Different from the commonly used convex optimization method, this book applies the Nash game approach to give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the mixed H2/H∞ control. Researchers will benefit from our detailed exposition of the stochastic mixed H2/H∞ control theory, while practitioners can apply our efficient algorithms to address their practical problems.
Book Synopsis Stochastic Optimal Control: The Discrete-Time Case by : Dimitri Bertsekas
Download or read book Stochastic Optimal Control: The Discrete-Time Case written by Dimitri Bertsekas and published by Athena Scientific. This book was released on 1996-12-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research monograph, first published in 1978 by Academic Press, remains the authoritative and comprehensive treatment of the mathematical foundations of stochastic optimal control of discrete-time systems, including the treatment of the intricate measure-theoretic issues. It is an excellent supplement to the first author's Dynamic Programming and Optimal Control (Athena Scientific, 2018). Review of the 1978 printing:"Bertsekas and Shreve have written a fine book. The exposition is extremely clear and a helpful introductory chapter provides orientation and a guide to the rather intimidating mass of literature on the subject. Apart from anything else, the book serves as an excellent introduction to the arcane world of analytic sets and other lesser known byways of measure theory." Mark H. A. Davis, Imperial College, in IEEE Trans. on Automatic Control Among its special features, the book: 1) Resolves definitively the mathematical issues of discrete-time stochastic optimal control problems, including Borel models, and semi-continuous models 2) Establishes the most general possible theory of finite and infinite horizon stochastic dynamic programming models, through the use of analytic sets and universally measurable policies 3) Develops general frameworks for dynamic programming based on abstract contraction and monotone mappings 4) Provides extensive background on analytic sets, Borel spaces and their probability measures 5) Contains much in depth research not found in any other textbook
Book Synopsis Chance and decision. Stochastic control in discrete time by : Jerzy Zabczyk
Download or read book Chance and decision. Stochastic control in discrete time written by Jerzy Zabczyk and published by Edizioni della Normale. This book was released on 1996-10-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematical theory of discrete time decision processes, also known as stochastic control, is based on two major ideas: backward induction and conditioning. It has a large number of applications in almost all branches of the natural sciences. The aim of these notes is to give a self-contained introduction to this theory and its applications. Our intention was to give a global and mathematically precise picture of the subject and present well motivated examples. We cover systems with complete or partial information as well as with complete or partial observation. We have tried to present in a unified way several topics such as dynamic programming equations, stopping problems, stabilization, Kalman-Bucy filter, linear regulator, adaptive control and option pricing. The notes discuss a large variety of models rather than concentrate on general existence theorems.
Book Synopsis Neural Approximations for Optimal Control and Decision by : Riccardo Zoppoli
Download or read book Neural Approximations for Optimal Control and Decision written by Riccardo Zoppoli and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-12-17 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neural Approximations for Optimal Control and Decision provides a comprehensive methodology for the approximate solution of functional optimization problems using neural networks and other nonlinear approximators where the use of traditional optimal control tools is prohibited by complicating factors like non-Gaussian noise, strong nonlinearities, large dimension of state and control vectors, etc. Features of the text include: • a general functional optimization framework; • thorough illustration of recent theoretical insights into the approximate solutions of complex functional optimization problems; • comparison of classical and neural-network based methods of approximate solution; • bounds to the errors of approximate solutions; • solution algorithms for optimal control and decision in deterministic or stochastic environments with perfect or imperfect state measurements over a finite or infinite time horizon and with one decision maker or several; • applications of current interest: routing in communications networks, traffic control, water resource management, etc.; and • numerous, numerically detailed examples. The authors’ diverse backgrounds in systems and control theory, approximation theory, machine learning, and operations research lend the book a range of expertise and subject matter appealing to academics and graduate students in any of those disciplines together with computer science and other areas of engineering.
