## Abstract In this paper we develop a simulationβbased approach to stochastic dynamic programming. To solve the Bellman equation we construct Monte Carlo estimates of __Q__βvalues. Our method is scalable to high dimensions and works in both continuous and discrete state and decision spaces while a
We employ a stochastic dynamic programming approach to study decision making by an individual wishing to have an arranged marriage. First, we show that this individual never opts out of a voluntarily agreed upon marriage. Second, we demonstrate that our marrying individual uses a reservation utility
Recently, a novel concept for the computation of essential features of the dynamics of Hamiltonian systems (such as molecular dynamics) has been proposed. The realization of this concept had been based on subdivision techniques applied to the Frobenius-Perron operator for the dynamical system. The p
In this paper we study a Hamilton-Jacobi equation related to the boundary control of a parabolic equation with Neumann boundary conditions. The state space of this problem is a Hilbert space and the equation is defined classically only on a dense subset of the state space. Moreover the Hamiltonian a
