  • Simulation-Based Algorithms for Markov Decision Processes

    by Hyeong Soo Chang, Jiaqiao Hu, Michael C. Fu, Steven I. Marcus ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    Markov decision process (MDP) models are widely used for modeling sequential decision-making problems that arise in engineering, economics, computer science, and the social sciences. Many real-world problems modeled by MDPs have huge state and/or action spaces, giving an opening to the curse of dimensionality and so making practical solution of the resulting models intractable. In other cases, the ... Read more

  • The Innovation Butterfly

    Managing Emergent Opportunities and Risks During Distributed Innovation

    by Edward G. Anderson Jr., Nitin R. Joglekar ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Product and service innovations are the result of mutually interacting creative and coordination tasks within a system that has to balance technical decisions, marketplace taste, personnel management, and stakeholder commitment. The constituent elements of such systems are often scattered across multiple firms and across the globe and constitute a complex system consisting of many interacting ... Read more

  • The Mathematics of the Uncertain

    A Tribute to Pedro Gil

    Edited by Eduardo Gil, Eva Gil, Juan Gil, María Ángeles Gil ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    This book is a tribute to Professor Pedro Gil, who created the Department of Statistics, OR and TM at the University of Oviedo, and a former President of the Spanish Society of Statistics and OR (SEIO). In more than eighty original contributions, it illustrates the extent to which Mathematics can help manage uncertainty, a factor that is inherent to real life. Today it goes without saying that, in ... Read more

  • Breakdown in Traffic Networks

    Fundamentals of Transportation Science

    by Boris S. Kerner ...
    This book offers a detailed investigation of breakdowns in traffic and transportation networks. It shows empirically that transitions from free flow to so-called synchronized flow, initiated by local disturbances at network bottlenecks, display a nucleation-type behavior: while small disturbances in free flow decay, larger ones grow further and lead to breakdowns at the bottlenecks. Further, it ... Read more

  • Dynamics of Complex Autonomous Boolean Networks

    by David P. Rosin ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This thesis focuses on the dynamics of autonomous Boolean networks, on the basis of Boolean logic functions in continuous time without external clocking. These networks are realized with integrated circuits on an electronic chip as a field programmable gate array (FPGA) with roughly 100,000 logic gates, offering an extremely flexible model system. It allows fast and cheap design cycles and large ... Read more
