The paper develops a method to solve higher-dimensional stochastic control problems in continuous time. A finite difference type approximation scheme is used on a coarse grid of low discrepancy points, while the value function at intermediate points is obtained by regression. The stability...

We explore alternative approaches to numerical solutions of large rational expectations models. We discuss and compare several current alternatives, focussing on the tradeoffs in accuracy, space, and speed. The models range from representative agent models with many goods and capital stocks, to...

Parallel machine scheduling problems concern the scheduling of n jobs on m machines to minimize some function of the job completion times. If preemption is not allowed, then most problems are not only NP-hard, but also very hard from a practical point of view. In this paper, we show that strong...
