Widespread accounts of the harmful effects of invasive species have stimulated both practical and theoretical studies on how the spread of these destructive agents can be containe...
This paper presents a direct reinforcement learning algorithm, called Finite-Element Reinforcement Learning, in the continuous case, i.e. continuous state-space and time. The eval...
The asymptotic behavior of stochastic gradient algorithms is studied. Relying on some results of differential geometry (Lojasiewicz gradient inequality), the almost sure pointconve...
This paper presents a model-based approach to requirements engineering for reactive systems; we use an elevator controller as case study. We identify and justify two key propertie...
Simulation at the machine-control level plays an important role in designing machine controls and operational specifications. Recently, there has been a considerable amount of wor...
