| Relaxations of Approximate Linear Programs for the Real Option Management of Commodity Storage | The real option management of commodity conversion assets gives rise to intractable Markov decision processes (MDPs). This intractability is due primarily to the high dimensionality of a commodity forward curve, which is part of the MDP state when using h... | 5/1/2013 |
