Abstract We revisit the forward algorithm, developed by Irle, to characterize both value function and stopping set for a large class of optimal problems on continuous-time Markov chains. Our objective is renew interest in this constructive method showing its usefulness solving some constrained that have emerged recently.

Abstract The remote collection of animal location data has proliferated in recent decades, and higher-frequency are increasingly available with battery-saving optimisations such as ‘snapshot’ algorithms that acquire GPS satellite post-process locations off-board. This is the first study to assess effects vegetation topography on fix success rate error global positioning system (GPS) devices use...
