動態規劃與應用(“Dynamic Programming” ) |
課程概述 |
This course emphasizes the use of stochastic
optimization methods in theory and practice. General knowledge of
basic probability theory and stochastic processes is assumed.
Applications considered include revenue management, queueing systems
and production and inventory systems. However, the topics discussed
also have wide applications to financial and economic systems. We
will also emphasize on showing the existence of optimal policy
structure for a wide variety of dynamic optimization problems. |

決策分析與賽局(“Decision
Analysis and Games ”) |
課程概述 |
This is an application oriented course on
decision making. We will emphasize the use of dynamic decision
methods in theory and practice, especially when uncertainties and
multiple decision makers are issues. These methods are widely used
and covered in other courses, including decision analysis,
stochastic optimization methods, and game theory. However, none of
the previous courses emphasize on the dynamic interaction between
decision makers and between decisions in different time periods.
Different from other courses in decision making, this course will
focus on the multiple period, multiple decision maker decision
problems.We will also emphasize on the modeling of uncertainties in
multi-period decision making problems.
Applications considered in this course include supply chain
coordination, revenue management, and technology management.
However, the topics discussed also have wide applications to other
financial and economic systems. |
