Approximating a function with a linear function is called linearization (or linear approximation). Approximating a function with a degree 2 polynomial (a parabola) is called quadratic approximation.
The circumference of a sphere is measured to be 24 cm, with a possible error of 0.25 cm. Use the differential \(dV\) to estimate the maximum error in the calculated ...
Abstract: This paper is concerned with the problem of policy evaluation with linear function approximation in discounted infinite horizon Markov decision processes ...
Abstract: Various analytic procedures have been proposed for minimum integral-square-error approximation of prescribed linear systems; however, they often involve ...
