Solving Very Large Weakly Coupled Markov Decision Processes
We present a technique for computing approximately optimal solutions to stochastic resource allocation problems modeled as Markov decision processes (MDPs). We exploit two key pro...

Locking-free finite elements for the Reissner-Mindlin plate
Two new families of Reissner-Mindlin triangular finite elements are analyzed. One family, generalizing an element proposed by Zienkiewicz and Lefebvre, approximates (for k 1) the ...
