Description for Stochastic Recursive Algorithms for Optimization: Simultaneous Perturbation Methods
Paperback. This book presents algorithms for constrained and unconstrained optimization and for reinforcement learning. These are demonstrated in a wide range of applications including service systems, vehicular traffic control, communications networks and more. Series: Lecture Notes in Control and Information Sciences. Num Pages: 330 pages, 12 black & white illustrations, 6 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PBKS; PBU; TJFM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 240 x 153 x 19. Weight in Grams: 496.
Stochastic Recursive Algorithms for Optimization presents algorithms for constrained and unconstrained optimization and for reinforcement learning. Efficient perturbation approaches form a thread unifying all the algorithms considered. Simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation and smooth fractional estimators for gradient- and Hessian-based methods are presented. These algorithms:
• are easily implemented;
• do not require an explicit system model; and
• work with real or simulated data.
Chapters on their application in service systems, vehicular traffic control and communications networks illustrate this point. The book is self-contained with necessary mathematical results placed in an appendix.

About S. Bhatnagar
All three authors have been extensively working in the area of stochastic control and optimization. S. Bhatnagar has worked for nearly 20 years in this area and has published extensively in both journals and conferences. This book in many ways summarizes the various strands of research that S.Bhatnagar has been involved in over the last decade. H.L.Prasad and Prashanth L.A. ... Read more
Reviews for Stochastic Recursive Algorithms for Optimization: Simultaneous Perturbation Methods
From the reviews: “The book under review summarizes the recent research on simultaneously perturbation problems. … The book provides a coverage of the known material in stochastic optimizations, such that both researchers and practitioners should find it useful. The text is well understandable, the book is clearly written and impressively printed. Theorems and algorithms are emphasized in coloured frames. ... Read more
