Algorithms for Worst-Case Design and Applications to Risk Management
ISBN: 9780691091549 / Angielski / Twarda / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Recognizing that robust decision making is vital in risk management, this book provides concepts and algorithms for computing the best decision in view of the worst-case scenario. The main tool used is minimax, which ensures robust policies with guaranteed optimal performance that will improve further if the worst case is not realized. The applications considered are drawn from finance, but the design and algorithms presented are equally applicable to problems of economic policy, engineering design, and other areas of decision making. Critically, worst-case design addresses not... Recognizing that robust decision making is vital in risk management, this book provides concepts and algorithms for computing the best decision in ... |

Selected Topics on Continuous-Time Controlled Markov Chains and Markov Games
ISBN: 9781848168480 / Angielski / Twarda / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book concerns continuous-time controlled Markov chains, also known as continuous-time Markov decision processes. They form a class of stochastic control problems in which a single decision-maker wishes to optimize a given objective function. This book is also concerned with Markov games, where two decision-makers (or players) try to optimize their own objective function. Both decision-making processes appear in a large number of applications in economics, operations research, engineering, and computer science, among other areas.An extensive, self-contained, up-to-date analysis of basic...

Introduction to the Fractional Calculus of Variations
ISBN: 9781848169661 / Angielski / Twarda / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This invaluable book provides a broad introduction to the fascinating and beautiful subject of Fractional Calculus of Variations (FCV). In 1996, FVC evolved in order to better describe non-conservative systems in mechanics. The inclusion of non-conservatism is extremely important from the point of view of applications. Forces that do not store energy are always present in real systems. They remove energy from the systems and, as a consequence, Noether's conservation laws cease to be valid. However, it is still possible to obtain the validity of Noether's principle using FCV. The...

Performance Bounds and Suboptimal Policies for Multi-Period Investment
ISBN: 9781601986726 / Angielski / Miękka / 94 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Performance Bounds and Suboptimal Policies for Multi-Period Investment examines dynamic trading of a portfolio of assets in discrete periods over a finite time horizon, with arbitrary time-varying distribution of asset returns. The goal is to maximize the total expected revenue from the portfolio, while respecting constraints on the portfolio like a required terminal portfolio and leverage and risk limits. The revenue takes into account the gross cash generated in trades, transaction costs, and costs associated with the positions, such as fees for holding short positions. The model that is...

Proximal Algorithms
ISBN: 9781601987167 / Angielski / Miękka / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Proximal Algorithms discusses proximal operators and proximal algorithms, and illustrates their applicability to standard and distributed convex optimization in general and many applications of recent interest in particular. Much like Newton's method is a standard tool for solving unconstrained smooth optimization problems of modest size, proximal algorithms can be viewed as an analogous tool for nonsmooth, constrained, large-scale, or distributed versions of these problems. They are very generally applicable, but are especially well-suited to problems of substantial recent interest involving...

Dynamic Network Energy Management Via Proximal Message Passing
ISBN: 9781601987143 / Angielski / Miękka / 70 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Dynamic Network Energy Management via Proximal Message Passing presents a fully decentralized method for dynamic network energy management based on message passing between devices. It considers a network of devices, such as generators, fixed loads, deferrable loads, and storage devices, each with its own dynamic constraints and objective, connected by AC and DC lines. The problem is to minimize the total network objective subject to the device and line constraints, over a given time horizon. This is a large optimization problem, with variables for consumption or generation for each device,...

From Bandits to Monte-Carlo Tree Search: The Optimistic Principle Applied to Optimization and Planning
ISBN: 9781601987662 / Angielski / Miękka / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From Bandits to Monte-Carlo Tree Search: The Optimistic Principle Applied to Optimization and Planning covers several aspects of the "optimism in the face of uncertainty" principle for large scale optimization problems under finite numerical budget. The monograph's initial motivation came from the empirical success of the so-called "Monte-Carlo Tree Search" method popularized in Computer Go and further extended to many other games as well as optimization and planning problems. It lays out the theoretical foundations of the field by characterizing the complexity of the optimization problems...

Efficient Algorithms for Infrastructure Networks: Planning Issues and Economic Impact
ISBN: 9781494252373 / Angielski / Miękka / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Currently, electricity and telecommunication network providers operate in a turbulent period. The market is open for competition and customer demand changes dramatically, facing the network providers with a huge challenge. Information is reaching us more and more digitally. Mobile and fixed telecommunication networks have to deal with this explosive growth of data traffic. For fixed networks this means that the default internet connection via ADSL (up to 8 Megabits per second) is no longer sufficient. The network operators work on the rollout of VDSL, where the fibre connection is brought to...

An Introduction to Polynomial and Semi-Algebraic Optimization
ISBN: 9781107630697 / Angielski / Miękka / 354 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is the first comprehensive introduction to the powerful moment approach for solving global optimization problems (and some related problems) described by polynomials (and even semi-algebraic functions). In particular, the author explains how to use relatively recent results from real algebraic geometry to provide a systematic numerical scheme for computing the optimal value and global minimizers. Indeed, among other things, powerful positivity certificates from real algebraic geometry allow one to define an appropriate hierarchy of semidefinite (SOS) relaxations or LP relaxations whose...
