Problems in the estimation of short‐term variations in limestone …

It is suggested that the evolution of morphology on a hard rock surface should be studied at a micro-scale. At this scale there is a reasonable chance of establishing the relationship between the operation of process events and the progression of erosion rates. Micro-erosion meters and micro-weighed weight-loss tablets make this possible. However, …

Safe Exploration in Markov Decision Processes

The issue of safety is closely related to ergodicity. Al-most all proposed exploration techniques presume er-godicity; authors present it as a harmless technical as-sumption but it rarely holds in interesting practical problems. Whenever this happens, their e cient ex-ploration guarantees cease to hold, often leading to very ine cient policies.
