Control Techniques for Complex Networks
Power grids, flexible manufacturing, cellular communications: interconnectedness has consequences. This remarkable book gives the tools and philosophy you need to build network models detailed enough to capture essential dynamics but simple enough to expose the structure of effective control solutions. Core chapters assume only exposure to stochastic processes and linear algebra at undergraduate level; later chapters are for advanced graduate students and researchers/practitioners. This gradual development bridges classical theory with the state-of-the-art. The workload model at the heart of traditional analysis of the single queue becomes a foundation for workload relaxations used in the treatment of complex networks. Lyapunov functions and dynamic programming equations lead to the celebrated MaxWeight policy along with many generalizations. Other topics include methods for synthesizing hedging and safety stocks, stability theory for networks, and techniques for accelerated simulation. Examples and figures throughout make ideas concrete. Solutions to end-of-chapter exercises are available on a companion website.

Journal Magic! Lessons in Therapeutic Writing
This book contains just about everything you'll need to help you open the door, break through your resistances, and get started with your journal writing. The sooner you begin your writing life, the sooner you will discover the magic and power that you carry within. You will define the magic that appears in front of you as you write. It can show itself as venting-just releasing feelings and thoughts that have been bugging you, as brainstorms that offer you meaningful insight and wisdom, or the magic may show itself to you in subtle patterns that you become aware of days or weeks later. You can be sure that you will find the magic . . . once you actually begin. Please remember, your journal will reflect you perfectly and will not follow any formula-nor should it. The power of the journal lies in the fact that it is a perfect reflection of you. It's impossible do it 'wrong.' Your journal is a place where you have the opportunity to learn about the multifaceted being that you truly are! You are stepping into a brand new relationship with your self-which can, in turn, impact all your other relationships!

Bürgerbeteiligung an der Verwaltung am Beispiel der Hamburgischen Deputationen
Dieses Buch beleuchtet das althergebrachte Verwaltungsgremium der Hamburgischen Deputationen im verwaltungswissenschaftlichen, historischen, rechts- sowie politikwissenschaftlichen Kontext. Als zentrale Frage wird untersucht, ob die Deputationen in ihrer bis zum Ende der 21. Legislaturperiode bestehenden Form ihre Daseinsberechtigung hatten, welchen historischen Ursprungs sie waren, welchen Reformbedarf es gab und ob sie der Verfassungsvorgabe in Artikel 56 der Hamburgischen Verfassung (a. F.), das Volk an der Verwaltung mitwirken zu lassen, entsprachen. Hierzu wird einerseits eine umfassende quantitative Erhebung mit Hilfe eines standardisierten Fragebogens unter den Deputierten durchgeführt und durch eine qualitative Erhebung in Form von Leitfadeninterviews ergänzt. Andererseits werden die historischen Wurzeln seit dem späten Mittelalter und die Entwicklungen bis zur Gegenwart herausgearbeitet sowie die Rechtslage vor dem Hintergrund der Verfassungsgeschichte und -wirklichkeit auch im Vergleich zu anderen deutschen Ländern dargestellt.

Control Systems and Reinforcement Learning
A high school student can create deep Q-learning code to control her robot, without any understanding of the meaning of 'deep' or 'Q', or why the code sometimes fails. This book is designed to explain the science behind reinforcement learning and optimal control in a way that is accessible to students with a background in calculus and matrix algebra. A unique focus is algorithm design to obtain the fastest possible speed of convergence for learning algorithms, along with insight into why reinforcement learning sometimes fails. Advanced stochastic process theory is avoided at the start by substituting random exploration with more intuitive deterministic probing for learning. Once these ideas are understood, it is not difficult to master techniques rooted in stochastic control. These topics are covered in the second part of the book, starting with Markov chain theory and ending with a fresh look at actor-critic methods for reinforcement learning.

Markov Chains and Stochastic Stability
Meyn and Tweedie is back! The bible on Markov chains in general state spaces has been brought up to date to reflect developments in the field since 1996 - many of them sparked by publication of the first edition. The pursuit of more efficient simulation algorithms for complex Markovian models, or algorithms for computation of optimal policies for controlled Markov models, has opened new directions for research on Markov chains. As a result, new applications have emerged across a wide range of topics including optimisation, statistics, and economics. New commentary and an epilogue by Sean Meyn summarise recent developments and references have been fully updated. This second edition reflects the same discipline and style that marked out the original and helped it to become a classic: proofs are rigorous and concise, the range of applications is broad and knowledgeable, and key ideas are accessible to practitioners with limited mathematical background.

Verschlüsselung und Innere Sicherheit
Christian Meyn untersucht, wie sich das Bedürfnis nach Sicherheit vor Kriminalität und Terrorismus mit der verlässlichen Nutzung offener Netze vereinbaren lässt. Er zeigt, dass ein Verschlüsselungsverbot bei der Kommunikation im Internet nicht mit dem Grundgesetz zu vereinbaren ist.
