  • Stochastic Simulation and Monte Carlo Methods

    Mathematical Foundations of Stochastic Simulation

    by Carl Graham, Denis Talay ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    In various scientific and industrial fields, stochastic simulations are taking on a new importance. This is due to the increasing power of computers and practitioners’ aim to simulate more and more complex systems, and thus use random parameters as well as random noises to model the parametric uncertainties and the lack of knowledge on the physics of these systems. The error analysis of these ... Read more

  • Modeling Coastal Hypoxia

    Numerical Simulations of Patterns, Controls and Effects of Dissolved Oxygen Dynamics

    Edited by Dubravko Justic, Kenneth A. Rose, Robert D. Hetland, Katja Fennel ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This book provides a snapshot of representative modeling analyses of coastal hypoxia and its effects. Hypoxia refers to conditions in the water column where dissolved oxygen falls below levels that can support most metazoan marine life (i.e., 2 mg O2 l-1). The number of hypoxic zones has been increasing at an exponential rate since the 1960s; there are currently more than 600 documented hypoxic ... Read more

  • Explosive Percolation in Random Networks

    by Wei Chen ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    This thesis is devoted to the study of the Bohman-Frieze-Wormald percolation model, which exhibits a discontinuous transition at the critical threshold, while the phase transitions in random networks are originally considered to be robust continuous phase transitions. The underlying mechanism that leads to the discontinuous transition in this model is carefully analyzed and many interesting ... Read more

    Modeling and Simulation

    by Hector Guerrero ...
    Series series Business and Management (R0)
    Why does the World Need—Excel Data Analysis, Modeling, and Simulation? When spreadsheets ?rst became widely available in the early 1980s, it spawned a revolution in teaching. What previously could only be done with arcane software and large scale computing was now available to the common-man, on a desktop. Also, before spreadsheets, most substantial analytical work was done outside the classroom ... Read more

  • Simulation-Based Algorithms for Markov Decision Processes

    by Hyeong Soo Chang, Jiaqiao Hu, Michael C. Fu, Steven I. Marcus ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    Markov decision process (MDP) models are widely used for modeling sequential decision-making problems that arise in engineering, economics, computer science, and the social sciences. Many real-world problems modeled by MDPs have huge state and/or action spaces, giving an opening to the curse of dimensionality and so making practical solution of the resulting models intractable. In other cases, the ... Read more
