Approximations for constrained Markov decision problems
(Springer, 2018)This chapter studies the finite-state approximation of a discrete-time constrained Markov decision process with compact state space, under the discounted and average cost criteria. Using the linear programming formulation ... -
Approximations for partially observed Markov decision processes
(Birkhäuser Basel, 2018)This chapter studies the finite-model approximation of discrete-time partially observed Markov decision process. We will find that by performing the standard reduction method, where one transforms a partially observed model ... -
Asymptotic optimality of finite models for witsenhausen’s counterexample and beyond
(Birkhäuser Basel, 2018)In this chapter, we study the approximation of Witsenhausen’s counterexample and the Gaussian relay channel problem by using the results of the previous chapter. In particular, our goal is to establish that finite models ... -
Computational screening of MOFs for CO2 capture
(Springer, 2021-03-30)The capture of CO2 (carbon dioxide) is an urgent environmental issue due to global warming. Adsorption-based CO2 capture using a new family of porous materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), has been considered as a ... -
Finite approximations in discrete-time stochastic control : quantized models and asymptotic optimality
(Birkhäuser Basel, 2018)In a unified form, this monograph presents fundamental results on the approximation of centralized and decentralized stochastic control problems, with uncountable state, measurement, and action spaces. It demonstrates how ... -
Finite approximations in discrete-time stochastic control quantized models and asymptotic optimality introduction and summary
(Birkhäuser Basel, 2018)Control and optimization of dynamical systems in the presence of stochastic uncertainty is a mature field with a large range of applications. A comprehensive treatment of such problems can be found in excellent books and ... -
Finite model approximations in decentralized stochastic control
(Birkhäuser Basel, 2018)In this chapter, we study the approximation of static and dynamic team problems using finite models which are obtained through the uniform discretization, on a finite grid, of the observation and action spaces of agents. ... -
Finite-action approximation of Markov decision processes
(Birkhäuser Basel, 2018)In this chapter, we study the finite-action approximation of optimal control policies for discrete-time Markov decision processes (MDPs) with Borel state and action spaces, under discounted and average cost criteria. One ... -
Finite-state approximation of Markov decision processes
(Springer, 2018)In this chapter we study the finite-state approximation problem for computing near optimal policies for discrete-time MDPs with Borel state and action spaces, under discounted and average costs criteria. Even though existence ... -
Metal-organic frameworks for biomedical applications
(Elsevier, 2020)Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have received significant interest in the recent years as promising candidates for biomedical applications due to their high porosities and tunable surface characteristics. The rational ... -
Molecular modeling of MOF membranes for gas separations
(World Scientific Publishing Co., 2017-01-01)Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have received significant attention as membrane materials in the last decade. MOFs typically have high porosities, tunable pore sizes, large surface areas, reasonable thermal and mechanical ... -
Porous materials
(Elsevier, 2018)Natural gas has received significant attention as a cleaner energy source alternative to gasoline. Natural gas consists of mainly methane (CH4); therefore, efficient storage of CH4 is essential to utilize natural gas. ... -
Prelude to part I
(Springer, 2018)Part I involves classical stochastic control problems, with a single decision maker acting repeatedly over time with its information set growing at each time stage. -
Prelude to part II
(Springer, 2018)In Part II, we focus on decentralized stochastic control problems and their applications. In Chapter 8, we present our results on the finite model approximation of multi-agent stochastic control problems (team decision ...
