Overview: Presents new branches for Markov Decision Processes (MDP).Applies new methodology for MDPs with discounted total reward criterion.Offers new applications of MDPs in areas such as the control of discre.Markov decision processes (MDPs), also called stochastic dynamic programming, were first studied in the 1960s. MDPs can be used to model and solve dynamic decision-making problems that are multi-period and occur in stochastic circumstances. There are three basic branches in MDPs: discrete-time MDPs, continuous-time MDPs and semi-Markov decision processes. Starting from these three branc

Overview: Presents the performance comparison of various metaheuristic techniques when they face complex optimization problems.Particularly focuses on recently developed algorithms.This book is designed so that.This book is primarily intended for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Science, Electrical Engineering, or Computational Mathematics. Metaheuristic search methods are so numerous and varied in terms of design and potential applications; however, for such an abundant family of optimization techniques, there seems to be a question which needs to be answered: Which part of the desi

Overview: Sozialwissenschaftliche Studie.Includes supplementary material: Max Schulte untersucht die Beziehung zwischen Politik und Zivilgesellschaft im lokalen Raum. Dabei fokussiert er mit Blick auf die Praxis von Engagierten die subjektive Perspektive. Im Ergebnis zeigen sich einerseits die enge funktionale Verflechtung beider Bereiche und andererseits die Herausbildung spezifisch lokaler Engagementkarrieren, die Politik und zivilgesellschaftliches Engagement verbinden. Basierend auf qualitativen Interviews werden eine Typologie der Engagementkarrieren und ein Modell der relevanten Einfluss

Overview: .Der heutige Hochschulunterricht für Mathematiker gründet meist auf Abstraktion und führt vom Allgemeinen zum Speziellen. Die Methode hat Vorteile, sie stärkt das Denkvermögen und meidet lästige Wiederholungen. Doch sie "stellt den Pflug vor die Ochsen", weil Abstraktion auf Spezialfälle baut, die dem Lernenden oft fremd sind. So bleibt der Erfolg den Glücklichen vorbehalten, die den Weg von der Abstraktion zu den Beispielen finden. Dieses Lehrbuch führt von zwei Spezialfällen zur Allgemeinheit und gründet nicht auf Abstraktion. Die Beweise der abstrakten Algebra werden zuerst am kon

Overview: Modern fracture mechanics considers phenomena at many levels,macro and micro; it is therefore inextricably linked to methods oftheoretical and mathematical physics.
