In this paper discounted and average Markov decision processes with finite state space and countable action set (semi-infinite MDP for short) are discussed. Without ordinary continuity and compactness conditions, for discounted semi-infinite MDP we have shown that by exploiting the results on...

As a new generation of electrode material, flexible electrode material can effectively broaden the application area and scope of energy storage devices. In this paper, a new vanadium pentoxide carbon fiber cloth (V 2 O 5 -CFC) is successful synthesized by means of electrospinning and...

The likelihood and amount of money transferred back and forth between parents and their adult children in the United States in 1988 are examined in this study. Using the 1989 Survey of Consumer Finances, conducted for the Federal Reserve Bank, this study finds that 13 percent of families made...

Lot streaming is the process of splitting a production lot into sublots, and then, scheduling the sublots in an overlapping fashion on the machines. In this paper, we present a polynomial-time procedure for determining the number of sublots of a single-lot, multiple-machine flow shop...

To rationally allocate farmland resources, and scientifically make farming industrial planning, we take Yizheng City in Jiangsu Province as the research object, and select 13 indicators. Based on Farmland Resources Management Information System in Yizheng City, we establish AHP model, and...

Purpose This paper aims to use the Monodepth method to improve the prediction speed of identifying the obstacles and proposes a Probability Dueling DQN algorithm to optimize the path of the agent, which can reach the destination more quickly than the Dueling DQN algorithm. Then the path planning...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify the most important approaches to gaining research knowledge employed by full‐time doctoral students in a Chinese university. Design/methodology/approach – The analysis is based on a case study of Tongji University using two sets of...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of native Chinese R&D team directors’ differential leadership on team performance, so as to understand whether and how the directors’ differential leadership impacts team conflict, whether and how team conflict impacts new...
