flow in the first two-stage of v 94.2 gas turbine is simulated numerically. in this turbine, the second stator is clocked relative to the first stator to different positions. steady-state analysis was carried out by varying the circumferential relative position of the consecutive stator vanes to study the effects of the clocking on turbine performance. a density based compressible inviscid flow...

We introduce the telescopic relative entropy (TRE), which is a new regularisation of the relative entropy related to smoothing, to overcome the problem that the relative entropy between pure states is either zero or infinity and therefore useless as a distance measure in this case. We study basic properties of this quantity, and find interesting relationships between the TRE and the trace norm ...

This technical report describes a cute idea of how to create new policy search approaches. It directly relates to the Natural Actor-Critic methods but allows the derivation of one shot solutions. Future work may include the application to interesting problems. 1 Problem Statement In reinforcement learning, we have an agent which is in a state s and draws actions a from a policy π. Upon an actio...
