Average cost Markov control processes with weighted norms: value iteration

Evgueni Gordienko, Onésimo Hernández-Lerma (1995)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

This paper shows the convergence of the value iteration (or successive approximations) algorithm for average cost (AC) Markov control processes on Borel spaces, with possibly unbounded cost, under appropriate hypotheses on weighted norms for the cost function and the transition law. It is also shown that the aforementioned convergence implies strong forms of AC-optimality and the existence of forecast horizons.

A consumption-investment problem modelled as a discounted Markov decision process

Hugo Cruz-Suárez, Raúl Montes-de-Oca, Gabriel Zacarías (2011)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

In this paper a problem of consumption and investment is presented as a model of a discounted Markov decision process with discrete-time. In this problem, it is assumed that the wealth is affected by a production function. This assumption gives the investor a chance to increase his wealth before the investment. For the solution of the problem there is established a suitable version of the Euler Equation (EE) which characterizes its optimal policy completely, that is, there are provided...

Bayes optimal stopping of a homogeneous poisson process under linex loss function and variation in the prior

Marek Męczarski, Ryszard Zieliński (1997)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

A homogeneous Poisson process (N(t),t ≥ 0) with the intensity function m(t)=θ is observed on the interval [0,T]. The problem consists in estimating θ with balancing the LINEX loss due to an error of estimation and the cost of sampling which depends linearly on T. The optimal T is given when the prior distribution of θ is not uniquely specified.
