In this paper a spline based integral approximation is utilized to propose a sequence of approximations to the error function that converge at a significantly faster manner than the default Taylor series. The approximations can be improved…
We provide a simple and efficient algorithm for computing the Euclidean projection of a point onto the capped simplex---a simplex with an additional uniform bound on each coordinate---together with an elementary proof. Both the MATLAB and…
In Reinforcement Learning the Q-learning algorithm provably converges to the optimal solution. However, as others have demonstrated, Q-learning can also overestimate the values and thereby spend too long exploring unhelpful states. Double…

A matrix algorithm is said to be superfast (that is, runs at sublinear cost) if it involves much fewer scalars and flops than the input matrix has entries. Such algorithms have been extensively studied and widely applied in modern…
Convexity, though extremely important in mathematical programming, has not drawn enough attention in the field of dynamic programming. This paper gives conditions for verifying convexity of the cost-to-go functions, and introduces an…
