Analysis of a Risk Sensitive Control

Recently considerable attention has been given to the study of risk-sensitive stochasic control problems 1]-13]. Risk-sensitive control is a generalization of the risk-neutral approach, in which we seek to minimize an exponential of the sum of costs. In particular, there has been work on risk-sensitive Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) { i.e., discrete-time problems with a nite or countable stat...

GEnERATION IN THE FIXED - PLUS - VARIABLE COMPUTER SYSTEM

TVe Fixed-PIus-Variable Structure Computer System utilizes an inventory of modules which can be interconnected as special purpose configuratwns operating simultaneously with other parts of the system. Since the structure considered makes no permanent committment of hardware to relatively rarely used operations it permits reconsideration of designs previously discarded as uneconomic. Problem for...

Variation of the Response functions in stochastic spiking neuron model

In this report, we theoretically examine the responses of spiking neurons to spike sequences which obey an inhomogeneous Poisson process. When statistically independent random inputs are provided, the probability densities of membrane potential converge to Gaussian distribution. In this case, the stochastic process of the membrane potential becomes Gauss process. We introduce a calculation meth...

On a Regulatory Gene Controlling the Expression of the Murine ~1 Light Chain*

The ~.11 light chain is encoded by a single germ-line vx~ and cx~ gene. Upon committment, the vx~ gene is translocated in cis to a transcription unit which includes the ca: gene separated from vxa by a nontranslated stretch of some 1,250 nucleotides (intron) (1). This unit is then transcribed as the high molecular weight nuclear RNA (HnRHA) which must be processed by excision of the intron to y...
