About this Item

Neuware - ADP or Approximate Dynamic Programming has gone by many different names including: Reinforcement Learning (RL), Adaptive Ccritics (AC), and Neuro-Dynamic Programming (NDP). The dynamic programming approach to decision and control problems involving nonlinear dynamic systems provides the optimal solution in any stochastic or uncertain environment. This handbook presents general-purpose programming tools for doing optimization over time by using learning and approximation to handle problems that severely challenge conventional methods.
