Controlled Markov Processes and Viscosity Solutions (Stochastic Modelling and Applied Probability)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book is intended as an introduction to optimal stochastic control for continuous time Markov processes and to the theory of viscosity solutions. The authors approach stochastic control problems by the method of dynamic programming. The text provides an introduction to dynamic programming for deterministic optimal control problems, as well as to the corresponding theory of viscosity solutions. A new Chapter X gives an introduction to the role of stochastic optimal control in portfolio optimization and in pricing derivatives in incomplete markets. Chapter VI of the First Edition has been completely rewritten, to emphasize the relationships between logarithmic transformations and risk sensitivity. A new Chapter XI gives a concise introduction to two-controller, zero-sum differential games. Also covered are controlled Markov diffusions and viscosity solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations. The authors have tried, through illustrative examples and selective material, to connect… [detailed...]

Controlled Queueing Systems

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This is the first book completely devoted to controlled queueing systems. The book gathers the newest results of the theory of Markov decision processes related to queueing models and demonstrates their applications to main types of control in queueing systems, including control of arrivals, control of service mechanism, and control of service discipline. Emphasis is placed on conditions providing further `good` structural properties of Markov optimal strategies such as monotonicity, threshold or hysteretic character, and priority.Each chapter is followed by exercises, most of which allow the reader to complete technical fragments of proofs. The text assumes the reader is familiar with standard courses of analysis, probability theory, and queueing theory. [detailed...]

Controlling Currency Mismatches In Emerging Markets

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In most of the currency crises of the 1990s, the largest output falls have occurred in those emerging economies with large currency mismatches, a phenomenon that occurs when assets and liabilities are denominated in different currencies such that net worth is sensitive to changes in the exchange rate. Currency mismatching makes crisis management much more difficult since it constrains the willingness of the monetary authority to reduce interest rates in a recession (for fear of initiating a large fall in the currency that would bring with it large-scale insolvencies). The mismatching also produces a `fear of floating` on the part of emerging economies, sometimes inducing them to make currency-regime choices that are not in their own long-term interest. Authors Morris Goldstein and Philip Turner summarize what is known about the origins of currency mismatching in emerging economies, discuss how best to define and measure currency mismatching, and review policy options for reducing the… [detailed...]

Controlling Immigration: A Global Perspective

2004 y.
Publisher: Stanford University Press
Description: In the 1990s, immigration emerged as a central issue of public policy and a driving factor in democratic elections throughout the world. Modern democracies now all face the same questions: how many immigrants to accept, what rights and special services to provide them, and how to control illegal immigration. This book provides a systematic, comparative study of immigration policy and policy outcomes in industrialized democracies. In-depth examinations of the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Japan have been updated for the second edition, and new chapters on Canada, Australia, the Netherlands, and South Korea have been added. Each profile addresses why certain immigration control measures were selected and why these measures usually failed to achieve their stated objectives. The discussion has been expanded to address the growing trend of migration of highly skilled professional workers, a particularly salient issue in the United States. [detailed...]

Controlling Market Power in Telecommunications: Antitrust Vs Sector-Specific Regulation

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionControlling market power is a crucial issue in liberalized telecommunications market where incumbents usually remain dominant for some time after the opening of the market to competition. Controlling market power can be achieved throughtwo distinct sets of rules and institutions: economy-wide antitrust rules and institutions, which have been in place in most industrialized countries for several decades, and infrastructure or sector-specific rules and institutions which have been specifically adopted to promote competition and control market power in telecommunications or in particular infrastructure sectors. In this context, the relationship between the two sets of rules and institutions becomes an issue of growing importance. Relying on a comparative analysis of five countries (the United States, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Chile and Australia), the present book seeks to shed some light on how economy-wide and infrastructure or sector-specific… [detailed...]

Controlling Physical Multiagent Teams: Getting League-Independent Results from RoboCup Soccer: Volume 304: Dissertations in Artificial Intelligence - Infix … in Artificial Intelligence

2007 y.
Publisher: Ios Pr Inc
Description: During the last years, Robotic Soccer has become one of the most challenging research fields for multiagent systems (MAS). In RoboCup soccer, teams of autonomous agents have to cooperatively solve the problem of winning against another team of agents. There are different leagues to address a wide area of research problems. However, many of the solutions to these are also league-dependent. This publication contributes tools and techniques to create physical MAS in domains where each agent has insufficient capabilities for solving the problem alone. All contributions of this book address the problem of league-independent solutions and provide means to create more generally applicable approaches. The contributions of this work have shown to be useful within the simulated robotic soccer domain and real robotic soccer. As a result, more general MAS research problems can be stated, and domain knowledge can be shared between different leagues. [detailed...]

Controlling Public Expenditure: The Changing Roles of Central Budget Agencies-Better Guardians?

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionOne of the most important functions of modern government is to marshal and deploy resources to achieve desired objectives and outcomes. This task is overseen by the Central Budget Agencies (such as Ministries of Finance and Treasuries) which have the responsibility of generating tax revenue and controlling and allocating public expenditure. This extensive comparative study investigates the changing nature and role of Central Budget Agencies (CBAs) in ten countries, reflecting a spectrum of different institutional and constitutional contexts. Eighteen expert contributors offer detailed accounts of the various trajectories that have occurred within their respective CBAs, set against the changing political environment in which they operate. A recurring theme throughout is an evaluation of the power and agenda-setting roles of CBAs, assessing how their influence has grown or waned over time. An important feature of the book is that each chapter attempts to incorporate… [detailed...]

Controlling Technology: Contemporary Issues

Description: Do we control technology or does technology control us? What is, and what out to be, the role of technology in human affairs? Do those who control technological development have the appropriate vision of what constitutes the good life for human beings,and do they know how to create and use technology to achieve this good? Explosive progress in the twentieth century has led to the disquieting perception that technology is not the servant of humanity -- but its master -- which has generated fiery debate. CONTROLLING TECHNOLOGY brings together widely conflicting views concerning the nature of modern technology as it relates to the quality of everyday life and to the larger problem of human survival on this planet. The thesis that technology has indeed become autonomous is contrasted with the position that, by its very nature, technology can only exist under human control. Thirty-four insightful essays are divided into eight parts, each with its own introduction summarizing the… [detailed...]

Description: This influential volume, now available in paperback, has been revised and updated for the twenty-first century and includes both new material and more detailed expositions of existing arguments. Although so-called `real` theories of business cycles and growth are prevalent in contemporary mainstream economics, Controversies in Monetary Economics suggests that those economists who have instinctively focused on monetary factors in explaining macroeconomic behavior are more genuinely `realistic`. The author combines an explanation of past and present monetary controversy with practical proposals for the conduct of monetary policy in the contemporary global economy. Several alternative approaches are discussed, ranging from the traditional quantity theory to post Keynesian theories of endogenous money. [detailed...]
