We explicitly solve the optimal switching problem for one-dimensional diffusions by directly employing the dynamic programming principle and the excessive characterization of the ...
Second-order sufficient optimality conditions are established for the optimal control of semilinear elliptic and parabolic equations with pointwise constraints on the control and t...

An optimal feedback control has been obtained for linear-quadratic optimal control problems with constraints described by differential-algebraic equations. For that purpose, a ne...
The population size in evolutionary computation is a significant parameter affecting computational effort and the ability to successfully evolve solutions. We find that population...
This paper introduces a hybrid metaheuristic, the Variable Neighborhood Particle Swarm Optimization (VNPSO), consisting of a combination of the Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) ...
