Bücher von Michel De Lara

Using a wealth of anecdotes, data from academic literature, and original research, this very accessible little book highlights how we all struggle to cope with the maelstrom of choices, influences and experiences that come our way.

The focus of the present volume is stochastic optimization of dynamical systems in discrete time where - by concentrating on the role of information regarding optimization problems - it discusses the related discretization issues.

This book covers a large spectrum of dynamical models in engineering: discrete and continuous time, deterministic and stochastic, state space and input-output systems. It includes proofs, exercises, and examples.

This book examines quantitative and formal links between sustainable development issues, decision and precaution problems in the management of natural resource. It covers such areas fisheries, agriculture, biodiversity, exhaustible resource and pollution.
