Markov chain approximation method

In numerical methods for stochastic differential equations, the Markov chain approximation method (MCAM) belongs to the several numerical (schemes) approaches used in stochastic control theory. Regrettably the simple adaptation of the deterministic schemes for matching up to stochastic models such as the Runge–Kutta method does not work at all. It is a powerful and widely usable set of ideas, due to the current infancy of stochastic control it might be even said 'insights.' for numerical and other approximations problems in stochastic processes. They represent counterparts from deterministic control theory such as optimal control theory. The basic idea of the MCAM is to approximate the original by a chosen on a . In case of need, one must as well approximate the for one that matches up the Markov chain chosen to approximate the original stochastic process. (Wikipedia).

Gauss-Gordon Method (Gauss-Jordan Elimination analogy)

The Gauss-Gordon Method (Gauss-Jordan Elimination analogy) If you can follow a recipe, you can solve linear systems. This is because the Gauss-Jordan elimination method for solving linear systems is “algorithmic;” simply put, it just follows a prescribed set of steps. In this video, we

Introduction to additive combinatorics lecture 10.8 --- A weak form of Freiman's theorem

In this short video I explain how the proof of Freiman's theorem for subsets of Z differs from the proof given earlier for subsets of F_p^N. The answer is not very much: the main differences are due to the fact that cyclic groups of prime order do not have lots of subgroups, so one has to
