We consider discounted Markov decision processes (MDPs) with countably-infinite state spaces, finite action spaces, and unbounded rewards. Typical examples of such MDPs are inventory management and ...

Roughly, we will cover the following topics (some of them may be skipped depending on the time available). Linear Programming: Basics, Simplex Algorithm, and Duality. Applications of Linear ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The Linear Programming Problem is by far the most widely used optimization model. Its impact on economic and government modeling is immense.

This course examines formulation and solution of applicable optimization models, including linear, integer, nonlinear, and network problems, efficient algorithm methods, and use of computer modeling ...

If you think you’re your own person, think again. While you have the ability to make what you think seem like independent decisions, the truth is that most of the things you do—from the trains you ...
