Kurzbeschreibung
ADP or Approximate Dynamic Programming has gone by many different names including: reinforcement learning (RL), adaptive critics (AC), and neuro-dynamic programming (NDP). The dynamic programming approach to decision and control problems involving nonlinear dynamic systems provides the optimal solution in any stochastic or uncertain environment. This handbook presents general-purpose programming tools for doing optimization over time by using learning and approximation to handle problems that severely challenge conventional methods.
* A complete resource to Approximate Dynamic Programming (ADP), including on-line simulation code
* Provides a tutorial that readers can use to start implementing the learning algorithms provided in the book
* Includes ideas, directions, and recent results on current research issues and addresses applications where ADP has been successfully implemented
* The contributors are leading researchers in the field
