Finite Horizon Riemann Structures and Ergodicity
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we show that any surface in R3 can be modified by gluing on small ‘focusing caps’ so that its geodesic flow becomes ergodic. A new concept, finite horizon cap geometry, is what makes the construction work.

Approximate Receding Horizon Approach for Markov Decision Processes: Average Reward Case
We consider an approximation scheme for solving Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) with countable state space, finite action space, and bounded rewards that uses an approximate solution of a fixed finite-horizon sub-MDP of a given infinite-horizon MDP to create a stationary policy, which we call “approximate receding horizon control”. We first analyze the performance of the approximate receding h...
متن کاملAperiodic Lorentz gas: recurrence and ergodicity
We prove that any generic (i.e., possibly aperiodic) Lorenz gas in two dimensions, with finite horizon and non-degenerate geometrical features, is ergodic if it is recurrent. We also give examples of aperiodic recurrent gases. Mathematics Subject Classification: 37D50, 37A40.
متن کاملDenumerable State Nonhomogeneous Markov Decision Processes
We consider denumerable state nonhomogeneous Markov decision processes and extend results from both denumerable state homogeneous and finite state nonhomogeneous problems. We show that, under weak ergodicity, accumulation points of finite horizon optima (termed algorithmic optima) are average cost optimal. We also establish the existence of solution horizons. Finally, an algorithm is presented ...
متن کاملThe Weil-petersson Geodesic Flow Is Ergodic
We prove that the geodesic flow for the Weil-Petersson metric on the moduli space of Riemann surfaces is ergodic (and in fact Bernoulli) and has finite, positive metric entropy.
متن کاملMirror and Synchronous Couplings of Geometric Brownian Motions
The paper studies the question of whether the classical mirror and synchronous couplings of two Brownian motions minimise and maximise, respectively, the coupling time of the corresponding geometric Brownian motions. We establish a characterisation of the optimality of the two couplings over any finite time horizon and show that, unlike in the case of Brownian motion, the optimality fails in ge...
