— This paper deals with the optimization of noisy fitness functions, where the noise level can be reduced by increasing the computational effort. We theoretically investigate th...
We study the stochastic model for bioremediation in a bioreactor with ideal mixing. The dynamics of the examined system is described by stochastic differential equations. We consid...
In this paper we study monotonicity results for optimal policies of various queueing and resource sharing models. The standard approach is to propagate, for each specific model, ...
Abstract. We argue for the benefits of relations over functions for modelling programs, and even more so for modelling specifications. To support this argument, we present an ext...
Planning in single-agent models like MDPs and POMDPs can be carried out by resorting to Q-value functions: a (near-) optimal Q-value function is computed in a recursive manner by ...
