We examine recent claims that a particular Q-learning algorithm used by competitors 'autonomously' and systematically … detailed analysis of the inner workings of this algorithm reveals that there is no immediate reason for alarm. We set out what … is needed to demonstrate the existence of a colluding price algorithm that does form a threat to competition. …

This paper presents the parallel computing implementation of the MitISEM algorithm, labeled Parallel MitISEM. The basic … MitISEM algorithm, introduced by Hoogerheide, Opschoor and Van Dijk (2012), provides an automatic and flexible method to … using a Graphics Processing Unit and a multi-core Central Processing Unit version of the MitISEM algorithm. The results show …
