In addition, it focuses on a new class of stochastic games: stochastic positional games that extend and generalize the classic deterministic positional games. It presents new algorithmic results on the suitable implementation of quasi-monotonic programming techniques. Moreover, the book presents applications of positional games within a class of multi-objective discrete control problems and hierarchical control problems on networks. Given its scope, the book will benefit all researchers and graduate students who are interested in Markov theory, control theory, optimization and games.International Series in Operations Research & Management Science,2214-7934 ;349Operations researchMathematicsManagement scienceMathematical optimizationAlgorithmsOperations Research and Decision TheoryApplications of MathematicsOperations Research, Management ScienceOptimizationAlgorithmsOperations research.Mathematics.Management science.Mathematical optimization.Algorithms.Operations Research and Decision Theory.Applications of Mathematics.Operations Research, Management Science.Optimization.Algorithms.629.8312Lozovanu Dmitrii731266Pickl Stefan WolfgangMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910800116203321Markov Decision Processes and Stochastic Positional Games3874446UNINA
