Sequential linear quadratic control of bilinear parabolic PDEs based on POD model reduction
We present a framework to solve a finite-time optimal control problem for parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) with diffusivity-interior actuators, which is motivate...

Optimal control problem on insect pest populations
In this article we present a model of insect infestation of grape vines and consider the optimal control of the pest through the use of egg pesticides. We show existence and uniqu...

Network coding-aware rate control and scheduling in wireless networks
Network coding has been recently applied to wireless networks to increase throughput. It is typically implemented as a thin layer between MAC and IP, transparently to higher layer...

Optimal control in two-hop relay routing
We study the optimal control of propagation of packets in delay tolerant mobile ad-hoc networks. We consider a two-hop forwarding policy under which the expected number of nodes ca...

Optimal control of a quasi-variational obstacle problem
We consider an optimal control where the state-control relation is given by a quasi-variational inequality, namely a generalized obstacle problem. We give an existence result for s...

Reinforcement learning of motor skills in high dimensions: A path integral approach
— Reinforcement learning (RL) is one of the most general approaches to learning control. Its applicability to complex motor systems, however, has been largely impossible so far d...

Optimal Control of a Well-Stirred Bioreactor in the Presence of Stochastic Perturbations
We study the stochastic model for bioremediation in a bioreactor with ideal mixing. The dynamics of the examined system is described by stochastic differential equations. We consid...

Spline Curve Approximation and Design by Optimal Control Over the Knots
In [1] Optimal Control methods over re-parametrization for curve and surface design were introduced. The advantage of Optimal Control over Global Minimization such as in [17] is t...
