Multi-modal control using adaptive motion description languages
In this paper, we address the problem of adaptively enriching motion description languages for multi-modal control by systematically enlarging the set of available modes. This pro...

Dynamic buffer management using optimal control of hybrid systems
This paper studies a general dynamic buffer management problem with one buffer inserted between two interacting components. The component to be controlled is assumed to have multi...

On the infinite time solution to state-constrained stochastic optimal control problems
: For an infinite-horizon optimal control problem, the cost does not, in general, converge. The classical work-around to this problem is to introduce a discount or "forgetting...

EP for Efficient Stochastic Control with Obstacles
Abstract. We address the problem of continuous stochastic optimal control in the presence of hard obstacles. Due to the non-smooth character of the obstacles, the traditional appro...
