Markovian algorithms for estimating the global maximum or minimum of real valued functions defined on some domain $\Omega \,\, \subset \,\, \mathbb{R}^{d}$ are presented. Conditions on the search ...
Most mathematical models do not admit exact solutions. Asymptotic and perturbation methods provide powerful techniques for obtaining approximate solutions, which allow one to draw physical conclusions ...
Bewley and Kohlberg [Bewley T, Kohlberg E (1976) The asymptotic theory of stochastic games. Math. Oper. Res. 1:197–208] proved that the discounted values of finite zero-sum stochastic games have a ...
