ORIE Colloquium, 2015-12-15 - Alessandro Arlotto: Finite Horizon Markov Decision Problems and a Central Limit Theorem for Total RewardAbstract: We prove a central limit theorem for a class of additive processes that arise naturally in the theory of finite horizon Markov decision problems. The main theorem generalizes a…

CAM Colloquium - Mike Todd: Computation, Multiplicity, and Comparative Statics of Cournot Equilibria in IntegersWe give an efficient algorithm for computing a Cournot equilibrium when the producers are confined to integers, the inverse demand function is linear, and costs are quadratic. The method also…
