On the convergence of stochastic dual dynamic programming and related methods
We discuss the almost-sure convergence of a broad class of sampling algorithms for multi-stage stochastic linear programs. We provide a convergence proof based on the finiteness o...

Convergence of Stochastic Iterative Dynamic Programming Algorithms
Recent developments in the area of reinforcement learning have yielded a number of new algorithms for the prediction and control of Markovian environments. These algorithms,includ...

Linear Dynamic Programs for Resource Management
Sustainable resource management in many domains presents large continuous stochastic optimization problems, which can often be modeled as Markov decision processes (MDPs). To solv...

The volume algorithm revisited: relation with bundle methods
We revise the Volume Algorithm (VA) for linear programming and relate it to bundle methods. When first introduced, VA was presented as a subgradient-like method for solving the ori...
