Approximate Dynamic Programming : Solving the Curses of Dimensionality, Hardcover by Powell, Warren B., ISBN 047060445X, ISBN-13 9780470604458, Brand New, Free P&P in the UKPowell (operations research and financial engineering, Princeton U.) has gained a very different view of the techniques since he finished writing the 2006 first edition, primarily discovering a breadth in both methods and applications he had not imagined. The now-enlarged and revised textbook for graduates and highly motivated and well prepared undergraduates bridges the gap between disciplines, primarily reinforcement learning (computer science), simulation, and math programming (operations research) to explain approximate dynamic programming. Among his topics are Markov decision processes, approximating value functions, and dynamic resource allocation problems. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
