Global optimization can be used as the main component for reliable decision support systems. In this contribution, we explore numerical solution techniques for nonconvex and nondi...
Previously, idempotent methods have been found to be extremely fast for solution of dynamic programming equations associated with deterministic control problems. The original meth...
In a facility with front room and back room operations, it is useful to switch workers between the rooms in order to cope with changing customer demand. Assuming stochastic custome...
Abstract. We prove a weak version of the dynamic programming principle for standard stochastic control problems and mixed control-stopping problems, which avoids the technical diļ¬...
Abstract. In this paper, we study the problem of controlling the expected exit time from a region for a class of stochastic hybrid systems. That is, we ļ¬nd the least costly feedb...
