We consider the average cost problem for partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDP) with finite state, observation, and control spaces. We prove that there exists an -...
Abstract— In this paper we consider the problem of optimizing over the switching times for a multi-modal dynamic system when the complete cost-to-go is not available. The instant...
— This paper studies the optimal motion control of mechanical systems through a discrete geometric approach. At the core of our formulation is a discrete Lagrange-d’AlembertPon...

In this paper, we describe block matrix algorithms for the iterative solution of large scale linear-quadratic optimal control problems arising from the optimal control of parabolic...

Abstract-- Studies on dynamic real-time optimization (DRTO) of waterflooding strategies in petroleum reservoirs have demonstrated that there exists a large potential to improve eco...
