Distributed dynamic programming for discrete-time stochastic control, and idempotent algorithms
Previously, idempotent methods have been found to be extremely fast for solution of dynamic programming equations associated with deterministic control problems. The original meth...

Interval observers for linear time-invariant systems with disturbances
It is shown that, for any time-invariant exponentially stable linear system with additive disturbances, time-varying exponentially stable interval observers can be constructed. Th...
