A second-order hierarchical uncertainty model of a system of independent random variables is studied in the paper. It is shown that the complex nonlinear optimization problem for ...
Abstract: We consider application of Zadeh's impossibility principle and extended logic FLe to approximate scientific explanation from the standpoint of the philosophy of scie...
A multilevel adaptive aggregation method for calculating the stationary probability vector of an irreducible stochastic matrix is described. The method is a special case of the ada...

A recursive acceleration method is proposed for multiplicative multilevel aggregation algorithms that calculate the stationary probability vector of large, sparse, and irreducible ...
Despite the recent advances in planning with MDPs, the problem of generating good policies is still hard. This paper describes a way to generate policies in MDPs by (1) determiniz...
