Solving nonconvex climate control problems: pitfalls and algorithm performances
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...

Distributed dynamic programming for discrete-time stochastic control, and idempotent algorithms
Previously, idempotent methods have been found to be extremely fast for solution of dynamic programming equations associated with deterministic control problems. The original meth...

Solving a Stochastic Queueing Control Problem with Constraint Programming
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...

Weak Dynamic Programming Principle for Viscosity Solutions
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¬...

Adjoint-Based Optimal Control of the Expected Exit Time for Stochastic Hybrid Systems
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 find the least costly feedb...
