Constructive Computation in Stochastic Models with Applications : TheRG Factorization Constructive Computation in Stochastic Models with Applications: The RG Factorizations provides a unified constructive and algorithmic framework for numerical computation of many practical stochastic systems. It summarizes recent important advances in computational study of stochastic models from several crucial directions such as stationary computation transient solution asymptotic analysis reward processes decision processes sensitivity analysis as well as game theory. Graduate students researchers and practicing engineers in the field of operations research management sciences applied probability computer networks manufacturing systems transportation systems insurance and finance risk management and biological sciences will find this book valuable.
