Legal Aid in Illinois: Selected Social and Economic Benefits, Methodology Report

This study estimates the economic benefits of cases closed by seven legal aid providers in 2010. It also provides a picture of the level of economic disadvantage experienced by clients who benefited from legal aid using data on clients' average household size and income

Stochastic stability and the design of feedback controls

Stochastic stability and design of feedback controls - application of Liapunov method to optimal control problem

Stability and existence of diffusions with discontinuous or rapidly growing drift terms

Local stochastic stability property used to prove stability and existence of diffusions with rapidly growing drift term

Convergence of the discretization equations which arise in stochastic control

A problem is considered which arises in the numerical analysis of the degenerate partial differential equations of stochastic control theory. The relationship between diffusions and finite state Markov chains is considered. The role of probability theory in numerical analysis is illustrated

Stochastic stability

The field of stochastic stability is surveyed, with emphasis on the invariance theorems and their potential application to systems with randomly varying coefficients. Some of the basic ideas are reviewed, which underlie the stochastic Liapunov function approach to stochastic stability. The invariance theorems are discussed in detail
