We also show how such `Markov mimics' can be obtained by relative entropy minimisation. We provide many examples where the above results can be applied.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-09-01T14:27:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60J25", "93E20" ], "keywords": [ "markov mimics", "markovian solution", "markov-relaxed controlled martingale problem", "relative entropy minimisation", "polish space" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
