The paper solves a control problem using reflections to track a benchmark process.

problem Optimal consumption with a benchmark process that grows over time.
method Introduced two auxiliary state processes with reflections to transform the problem into a more tractable form.
result Established the existence of a unique classical solution to the dual PDE.

The paper extends Merton's problem by adding benchmark tracking, finding optimal strategies.

problem Maximizing consumption utility with a trade-off against benchmark performance.
method Developed a convex duality theorem and derived optimal strategies for specific cases.
result Found optimal portfolio and consumption strategies for CRRA utility and geometric Brownian motion benchmarks.

In this paper, we present our approach to solve a physics-based reinforcement learning challenge "Learning to Run" with objective to train physiologically-based human model to navigate a complex obstacle course as quickly as possible. The environment is computationally expensive, has a high-dimensional continuous actio…

Enhances RL in partially observable, noisy environments by uncovering causal states.

problem Making decisions based on incomplete and noisy observations in partially observable Markov decision processes (P2^2OMDPs).
method Causal State Representation under Asynchronous Diffusion Model (CaDiff) framework, incorporating a novel asynchronous diffusion model (ADM) and a new bisimulation metric.
result Enhances returns by at least 14.18% compared to baselines on Roboschool tasks.

Optimal retirement timing and consumption under shortfall risk management

problem Optimal portfolio, consumption, and endogenous early retirement problem
method Maximizing expected lifetime consumption utility while managing the maximum wealth shortfall relative to a benchmark
result Geometric structure of the stopping set and feedback-form optimal retirement boundary
