A conjugate gradient method with quasi-Newton approximation

Jonas Koko (2000)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

The conjugate gradient method of Liu and Storey is an efficient minimization algorithm which uses second derivatives information, without saving matrices, by finite difference approximation. It is shown that the finite difference scheme can be removed by using a quasi-Newton approximation for computing a search direction, without loss of convergence. A conjugate gradient method based on BFGS approximation is proposed and compared with existing methods of the same class.

Optimal stationary policies inrisk-sensitive dynamic programs with finite state spaceand nonnegative rewards

Rolando Cavazos-Cadena, Raúl Montes-de-Oca (2000)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

This work concerns controlled Markov chains with finite state space and nonnegative rewards; it is assumed that the controller has a constant risk-sensitivity, and that the performance ofa control policy is measured by a risk-sensitive expected total-reward criterion. The existence of optimal stationary policies isstudied within this context, and the main resultestablishes the optimalityof a stationary policy achieving the supremum in the correspondingoptimality equation, whenever the...
