Fig. 1 gives a geometric interpretation of value function approximation. We may think of J � as a vector in ∗; by considering approximations of the form J̃ = �r, we restrict attention to the hyperplane J = �r in the same space. Given a norm ≤ · ≤ (e.g., the Euclidean norm), an ideal value function approximation algorithm would choose r minimizing ≤J −�r≤; in other words, it would find the projec...

Background: Marital commitment and marital burnout are general evaluations of the value system in spouses’ marital or romantic relationship, which relate to different factors. The present study was conducted with the aim to investigate the relationship between value system, and marital commitment and marital burnout. Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive correlational study. Th...

The RWM algorithm creates a Markov chain with stationary distribution π(x), and hence (eventually) a dependent sample with distribution ≈ π(x). Given the current value X ∈ R, a new value X∗ = X + Y is proposed by sampling a “jump”, Y, from from a pre-specified Lebesgue density q (y|x) = λ−d r (y/λ) , where r (−y) = r (y); the proposal is then accepted with probability α(x,y) = 1 ∧ (π(x∗)/π(x))....

Alginate-metal complexes were prepared with divalent (Ca, Ba, Zn) and trivalent metals (Fe, Al) via congealing method in form of beads. Alginate mixed metals (Ca & Fe) complexes were also prepared by simultaneous and consecutive congealing. The studied beads were blank beads and racemic ketoprofen (KTP) loaded beads. Metal content was determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy and was 1.8% to...

whereH is the Hilbert transform operator defined (on the spaces C(R : H), σ ∈ R) by the Fourier multiplier −i sgn(ξ). The Benjamin–Ono equation is a model for one-dimensional long waves in deep stratified fluids ([1] and [16]) and is completely integrable. The initial-value problem for this equation has been studied extensively for data in the Sobolev spaces H r (R), σ ≥ 0. It is known that the...
