Distributed solution of stochastic optimal control problems on GPUs
— Stochastic optimal control problems arise in many applications and are, in principle, large-scale involving up to millions of decision variables. Their applicability in control...

A missing link between nonlinear MPC schemes with guaranteed stability
We present an interesting link between two nonlinear MPC schemes with guaranteed stability. In particular, we show that terminal sets and costs designed for MPC with terminal cons...

Solution of a Riccati equation for the design of an observer contracting a Riemannian distance
Abstract—We propose a method to design an intrinsic observer guaranteeing that the Riemannian distance between the estimate it generates and the state of the system is decreasing...
